Where we publish a public profile for promotional and directory purposes, this is done either on the basis of your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR), or where applicable, on the basis of our legitimate interests in operating a professional networking and promotion platform (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).
3.5. Legal Bases for Processing (EU/EEA Users)
For data subjects in the EU/EEA, we rely on the following legal bases under the GDPR:
- Performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR): where processing is necessary to provide you with our services.
- Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR): such as operating and improving our platform, ensuring security, and promoting professional networking.

3.6. How We Share Your Information & International Transfers
We require third parties to use the personal information we transfer to them only for the purpose for which it was transferred and not to retain it for longer than is required for fulfilling the said purpose. We will not transfer your personal information to any third party without seeking your consent, except for Analytics, Data collection & processing services.
We are based in Spain (EU) and México, but use certain service providers whose infrastructure may be located outside the European Economic Area (EEA), in particular Google (for hosting and related services), which may involve storing or processing personal data on servers in the United States or other third countries.
Any transfer of personal data to a "third country" is carried out in compliance with Chapter V of the GDPR (Articles 44–50). Where we transfer personal data outside the EEA, we ensure a GDPR-equivalent level of protection is in place by using:
- An adequacy decision by the European Commission.
- Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission.
- Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs) adopted by our providers.
We may also disclose your personal information for the following: (1) to comply with applicable law, regulation, court order or other legal process; (2) to enforce your agreements with us; or (3) to respond to claims that your use of the Service violates any third-party rights. If the Service or our company is merged or acquired with another company, your information will be one of the assets that is transferred to the new owner.
3.7. Retention of Your Information
We will retain your personal information with us for 90 days to 2 years after users terminate their accounts, after user accounts remain idle, or for as long as we need it to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. We may need to retain certain information for longer periods such as record-keeping/reporting in accordance with applicable law or for other legitimate reasons like enforcement of legal rights, fraud prevention, etc.
- Public directory profiles are kept online while you maintain an active profile or until you request deletion.
- Residual anonymous information and aggregate information, neither of which identifies you, may be stored indefinitely.
3.8. Your Rights
Depending on the law that applies (including GDPR if you are located in the EU/EEA), you may have a right to:
- Access: obtain confirmation and a copy of your personal data.
- Rectify or Erase: correct inaccurate data or request deletion ("right to be forgotten").
- Restrict or Object: limit how we use your data or object to processing based on legitimate interests (including the publication of your public profile).
