Likewise, in accordance with the GDPR and LOPD-GDD, except when the exception set forth in Article 30.5 of the GDPR applies, a record of processing activities is maintained that specifies, according to their purposes, the processing activities carried out and other circumstances established in the GDPR.

Principles applicable to the processing of personal data
The processing of the User’s personal data will comply with the following principles set forth in Article 5 of the GDPR:

  • Principle of lawfulness, fairness, and transparency: the User’s consent will always be required, after fully transparent information regarding the purposes for which the personal data are collected.

  • Data minimization principle: only personal data strictly necessary for the purposes for which they are processed will be collected.

  • Integrity and confidentiality principle: personal data will be processed in a manner that ensures its security and confidentiality.

  • Accountability principle: the Data Controller is responsible for ensuring that the above principles are complied with.

Categories of personal data
The categories of data processed by Soma Beer are only identifying data. Special categories of personal data as defined in Article 9 of the GDPR are not processed under any circumstances.

Legal basis for the processing of personal data
The legal basis for the processing of personal data is consent.
Soma Beer commits to obtaining the User’s explicit and verifiable consent for the processing of their personal data for one or more specific purposes.
The User has the right to withdraw their consent at any time. It will be as easy to withdraw consent as to give it. Generally, withdrawing consent will not affect the use of the Website.
When the User must or may provide data via forms to make inquiries, request information, or for reasons related to the Website content, they will be informed if filling out any of those forms is mandatory because it is essential for the proper execution of the operation.

Purposes for which personal data are processed
Personal data are collected and managed by Soma Beer to facilitate, expedite, and fulfill the commitments established between the Website and the User or to maintain the relationship established through the forms filled out by the User or to attend to any request or inquiry.
Similarly, the data may be used for commercial purposes such as personalization, operational and statistical activities, and activities related to the corporate purpose of Soma Beer, as well as data extraction, storage, and marketing studies to tailor the offered Content to the User and improve the quality, functionality, and navigation of the Website.
When personal data are collected, the User will be informed about the specific purpose(s) for which the data will be used.

Retention periods for personal data
Personal data will only be retained for the minimum time necessary for the purposes of their processing and, in any case, only for the following period: 100 years or until the User requests their deletion.
When personal data are collected, the User will be informed about the retention period or, when not possible, the criteria used to determine this period.

Personal data of minors
Respecting Articles 8 of the GDPR and 13 of the RDLOPD, only individuals over 14 years old may lawfully give consent for the processing of their personal data by Soma Beer. For minors under 14, parental or guardian consent is required, and processing will only be lawful to the extent it has been authorized by them.

Confidentiality and security of personal data
Soma Beer commits to adopting the necessary technical and organizational measures, according to the appropriate security level for the risk of the data collected, to guarantee the security of personal data and prevent accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access to such data.
However, since Soma Beer cannot guarantee the inviolability of the internet or the total absence of hackers or others who may fraudulently access personal data, the Data Controller commits to promptly notify the User without undue delay when a personal data security breach likely to result in a high risk to individuals’ rights and freedoms occurs. According to Article 4 of the GDPR, a personal data security breach means any breach of security leading to accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to personal data transmitted, stored, or otherwise processed.
Personal data will be treated confidentially by the Data Controller, who commits to ensuring that confidentiality is respected by employees, associates, and any other persons to whom the information is accessible, through legal or contractual obligations.

  • Right of rectification: The User’s right to have inaccurate personal data corrected or completed.

  • Right of deletion (“right to be forgotten”): The User’s right, subject to applicable law, to have personal data deleted when they are no longer necessary, consent is withdrawn, the User objects and there is no overriding legitimate reason, the data was unlawfully processed, deletion is legally required, or data were collected directly from minors under 14. The Data Controller must also take reasonable steps to inform other controllers processing the data about the deletion request, considering available technology and costs.

  • Right to restriction of processing: The User’s right to limit the processing of their data in certain cases, such as contesting accuracy, unlawful processing, or when data is no longer needed by the controller but needed by the User for claims.

  • Right to data portability: Where processing is automated, the User’s right to receive their personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format and transmit it to another controller, with the Data Controller transferring data directly if technically feasible.

  • Right to object: The User’s right to object to the processing of their personal data or request cessation of processing by Soma Beer.

  • Right not to be subject to automated decision-making, including profiling: The User’s right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing, unless otherwise established by law.

V. COOKIE POLICY

Access to this Website may involve the use of cookies. Cookies are small amounts of information stored in the browser used by each User — on the various devices they may use to browse — so that the server remembers certain information which only the server that implemented it will later read. Cookies facilitate navigation, making it more user-friendly, and do not harm the browsing device.

Cookies are automatic procedures for collecting information related to preferences set by the User during their visit to the Website in order to recognize them as a User, personalize their experience and use of the Website, and can also, for example, help identify and resolve errors. The information collected through cookies may include the date and time of visits to the Website, the pages viewed, the time spent on the Website, and the sites visited immediately before and after it. However, no cookie can contact the User's phone number or any other personal contact method. No cookie can extract information from the User’s hard drive or steal personal information. The only way for private User information to become part of the Cookie file is if the user personally provides that information to the server.

Cookies that can identify a person are considered personal data.

Therefore, the Privacy Policy described above will apply to them. In this regard, User consent is required for their use. This consent will be communicated based on an authentic choice, offered through an affirmative and positive decision, prior to initial processing, revocable, and documented.

Third-party cookies
These are cookies used and managed by external entities that provide Soma Beer with services requested by it to improve the Website and the User’s browsing experience. The main purposes for which third-party cookies are used include obtaining access statistics and analyzing browsing information, i.e., how the User interacts with the Website.
The information obtained refers, for example, to the number of pages visited, language, location of the IP address from which the User accesses, the number of Users accessing, the frequency and recurrence of visits, visit duration, browser used, operator or device type from which the visit is made. This information is used to improve the Website and detect new needs to offer Users content and/or services of optimal quality. In any case, the information is collected anonymously, and reports on Website trends are generated without identifying individual users.

Disabling, rejecting, and deleting cookies
The User can disable, reject, and delete cookies — fully or partially — installed on their device by configuring their browser (including, for example, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Explorer). Procedures for rejecting and deleting cookies may vary from one browser to another. Consequently, the User should refer to the instructions provided by the Internet browser they are using.
