8.- PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA
8.1 - Content
"Personal data" refers to any information about an identified or identifiable natural person ("the data subject"). An identifiable person is one whose identity can be determined, directly or indirectly, particularly by means of an identifier, such as a name, identification number (e.g., ID, Social Security number), location data (e.g., address), online identifier (e.g., email accounts), or one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of the person (e.g., biometric data). Hereinafter referred to as "Personal Data."
Examples of Personal Data include a full name, ID number or passport, personal or professional address, nationality, profession, financial data, health, genetic, biometric data, of an identified or identifiable person.
8.2 - Scope
This only applies to natural persons, as the mentioned regulations do not apply to data of legal entities.
8.3 - Format of Data
For data to be considered personal data, it does not matter the format in which it is provided, whether electronic/digital (Excel, Word, Access, PowerPoint, application, audio or video file, etc.), or physical (paper document, photographs, etc.).
The security measures to be implemented will vary depending on the format in which the data is available.
8.4 - Record of Processing Activities - Use of Data
JC HOTELES will maintain an up-to-date record of the personal data processing activities for which it is responsible, which will include all the information referred to in Article 30 of the GDPR.
The purposes for processing personal data are those contained in each activity recorded in the Record of Processing Activities.
The Record of Processing Activities will be continuously updated and may be consulted on JC HOTELES' website in accordance with the provisions of the LOPDGDD.
If there is any doubt about the purposes of processing, the Data Protection Officer or the Information Security Officer should be consulted.
Personal data must be adequate, relevant, and not excessive in relation to the purpose for which it was collected.
More data than necessary will not be collected, and personal data will not be used for purposes other than or incompatible with the original purposes for which it was collected.
8.5 - Authorization for Processing Data. Data Collection. Obtaining Consent
Processing is understood as any operation or set of operations performed on personal data or sets of personal data, whether by automated or non-automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or modification, extraction, consultation, use, communication by transmission, dissemination or any other means of enabling access, comparison, or interconnection, restriction, erasure or destruction.
Processing of personal data is considered to have occurred as soon as access to such data is granted or potentially accessible, even if access is not actual (i.e., just the possibility of access constitutes processing of personal data).
The authorization or legitimacy for processing personal data will be based on one of the grounds of legitimacy established in Articles 6 and 9 of the GDPR.
The specific authorizations for each processing activity carried out by JC HOTELES are recorded in the Record of Processing Activities.
JC HOTELES will not collect personal data from users without the knowledge of the data subject. Data inclusion in forms will be voluntary and properly announced, showing the relevant information clauses in two layers. The information layers and their level of detail will include the content indicated in the Guide to Compliance with the Duty to Inform (2018) issued by the Spanish Agency for Data Protection.
Whenever data is collected, written or verbal information will be provided, with the first layer of basic information, in a table format, with headings such as "Controller," "Purposes," "Legitimacy," "Transfers/Recipients," and "Rights," where it will be indicated that rights can be exercised at the email address direccion@jchoteles.com. The second layer will contain detailed information, with two links: one to the detailed second layer and another to an extract of the Record of Processing Activities.
The personal data that may be collected directly from the data subject will be incorporated into the corresponding processing activity owned by JC HOTELES.
When processing is based on consent, methods established in the Procedures for Obtaining and Retaining Consent will be used, which are part of JC HOTELES' Data Protection Documentary System, and the systems used for each processing activity will be identified. Consent, data provided, and information clauses shown will be properly recorded.
8.6 - Method of Access
It does not matter the way in which personal data is accessed (whether in electronic/digital or physical format) to be considered as processing; in all cases, the procedure established must be followed. Likewise, processing is considered to occur if the data is incorporated into JC HOTELES' IT systems or facilities.
8.7 - Security Level
JC HOTELES employees must be aware of and apply the security measures, in line with the National Security Scheme, as outlined in the Record of Processing Activities and the information security system.
For more details about the security levels in personal data protection, employees must contact the Information Security Officer.
8.8 - Personal Data Processing and Privacy Policy for the Website and Internet

The personal data processing and privacy policy for the website and internet must be known by JC HOTELES employees in order to apply it in the daily use of its online and digital services.
8.9 – Data Retention Period Blockage of Data.
According to data protection regulations, personal data will be retained until it is no longer necessary for the purpose of the processing. The retention periods or criteria for each specific activity are recorded in the Processing Activities Register.
Subsequently, the data will be properly blocked. Data blocking involves identifying and reserving the data, adopting technical and organizational measures to prevent its processing, including its viewing, except for the provision of the data to judges and courts, the Public Prosecutor's Office, or the competent Public Administrations, particularly data protection authorities, for the enforcement of potential responsibilities arising from the processing, and only for the period of time prescribed for such responsibilities.
After that period, the data must be destroyed.
Blocked data may not be processed for any purpose other than the one specified.
For the deletion of documents containing personal data, other than auxiliary copies, individuals within JC HOTELES' structure will consult with the Security Officer beforehand regarding the procedure to follow.
8.10 – Recipients of the Data
The data may be transferred or communicated to other recipients as provided for in the GDPR. Specific transfers or communications are recorded in the Processing Activities Register for each activity, and they must all appear in the information clauses and consent collection when consent is the legitimating basis for the processing.
8.11 – Rights of the Data Subjects
The rights recognized in Articles 15 to 22 of the GDPR may be exercised directly or through a legal or voluntary representative. Those holding parental responsibility may exercise the rights of access, rectification, cancellation, opposition, or any other rights that may correspond to them on behalf of minors under fourteen years of age in the context of this Organic Law.
Any person has the right to obtain confirmation as to whether or not JC HOTELES processes personal data concerning them.
Data subjects have the right to access their personal data and obtain a copy of the personal data subject to processing, to update it, and to request the rectification of inaccurate data or, where appropriate, to request its deletion when, among other reasons, the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.
In certain circumstances provided for in Article 18 of the GDPR, data subjects may request the restriction of the processing of their data, in which case JC HOTELES will only retain the data for the exercise or defense of claims.
As a result of applying the right to erasure or opposition to the processing of personal data in the online environment, data subjects have the right to be forgotten under the jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the EU.
Data subjects may object to the processing of their data for marketing purposes, including profiling. In particular, data subjects have the right to be informed for free by JC HOTELES regarding their personal data that cannot be used for advertising or commercial prospecting purposes.
Under the right to data portability, data subjects have the right to obtain their personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and transmit it to another controller.
Every data subject has the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them, unless the exceptions provided for in Article 22.1 of the GDPR apply. JC HOTELES does not make automated decisions without human intervention.
The data subject has the right to have their data erased due to the disappearance of the purpose that motivated the processing or collection, the revocation of consent when consent is the legitimating basis for the processing, or for other reasons contained in Article 17 of the GDPR. Definitive deletion will be carried out, in any case, after blocking the data.
8.12 – Attention to the Rights of the Data Subjects
JC HOTELES has established a simple procedure for exercising personalized data protection rights, providing an email address for the exercise of rights direccion@jchoteles.com, defined in the document Procedure for Attention to the Exercise of Rights that all employees of JC HOTELES must know and apply.
Any request for the exercise of data protection rights received at JC HOTELES by any means or channel will be forwarded by JC HOTELES employees to direccion@jchoteles.com. This rule will be included in the Data Protection Manual for employees.
Requests from data subjects will be responded to by email with a read receipt if the request has been received through that means or by certified mail with acknowledgment of receipt if the request has been received by means other than email, without undue delay and no later than within one month.
The proof of compliance with the duty to respond to the request for the exercise of their rights made by the data subject rests with JC HOTELES, so a copy of all responses and the justification of the sending and receipt will be kept.
8.13 – Management of Security Breaches
The Procedure for Managing Security Breaches, which is integrated into the Data Protection Document Management System, is established to ensure the correct identification, recording, and resolution, with damage minimization, of security breaches affecting personal data.
The management of the breach will be carried out according to JC HOTELES' Information Security Policy, which governs the documents that develop it and which include prevention, detection, and correction aspects, to ensure that threats to information do not materialize and, if they do, do not significantly affect the information handled or the services provided by the company.
The existence of this Security Breach Management Procedure will be included in the Data Protection Policy directed at employees and any company member, who will be trained on how to act in the event of security breaches and on the responsibilities they have.
