Identity of the data controller

The data controller for personal data collected on THE WEBSITE OWNER is: JEM Physical Improve, S.L., with CIF B6148395 (hereinafter also referred to as the Data Controller). Its contact details are as follows:

Registration of personal data

Personal data collected by THE WEBSITE OWNER through the forms on its pages will be included in an automated personal data file created and maintained under the responsibility of THE WEBSITE OWNER.

The purpose of such file is to facilitate event management or to receive emails with contact information.

THE WEBSITE OWNER guarantees the security and confidentiality of the data provided. It therefore undertakes to fulfil its obligation of secrecy regarding personal data and its duty to store it and to adopt all necessary measures to prevent its alteration, loss, processing or unauthorised use. Accordingly, all information about our clients will not be used for commercial purposes nor will it be transferred to third parties.

Principles applicable to the processing of personal data

The processing of the User's personal data shall be subject to the following principles set out in Article 5 of the GDPR:

  • Principle of lawfulness, fairness and transparency: the User's consent will be required at all times, preceded by completely transparent information about the purposes for which personal data is collected.
  • Principle of purpose limitation: personal data will be collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes.
  • Principle of data minimisation: only the personal data strictly necessary in relation to the purposes for which it is processed will be collected.
  • Principle of accuracy: personal data must be accurate and kept up to date.
  • Principle of storage limitation: personal data will only be kept in a form that allows identification of the User for as long as necessary for the purposes of its processing.
  • Principle of integrity and confidentiality: personal data will be processed in a way that ensures its security and confidentiality.
  • Principle of accountability: the Data Controller will be responsible for ensuring that the above principles are complied with.

Categories of personal data

The categories of data processed on this Website are identifying data only. No special categories of personal data within the meaning of Article 9 of the GDPR are processed.

Legal basis for processing personal data

The legal basis for processing personal data is consent. THE WEBSITE OWNER undertakes to obtain the User's express and verifiable consent for the processing of their personal data for one or more specific purposes.

The User will have the right to withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawing consent will be as easy as giving it. As a general rule, withdrawal of consent will not affect the User's use of the Website.

In cases where the User must or may provide their data through forms in order to make enquiries, request information or for reasons related to the content of the Website, they will be informed if completing any of these is mandatory because it is essential for the correct completion of the operation performed.

Purposes of processing personal data

Personal data is collected and managed by THE WEBSITE OWNER for the purpose of facilitating, expediting and fulfilling the commitments established between the Website and the User, or maintaining the relationship established in the forms completed by the User, or to address a request or enquiry.

Data may also be used for commercial personalisation, operational and statistical purposes, and activities within THE WEBSITE OWNER's corporate purpose, as well as for data extraction, storage and marketing studies to adapt the Content offered to the User and to improve the quality, functioning and navigation of the Website.

At the time personal data is obtained, the User will be informed of the specific purpose or purposes of the processing to which the personal data will be put.

Personal data retention periods

Personal data will only be retained for the minimum time necessary for the purposes of its processing and, in any case, only for the following period: months, or until the User requests its deletion.

At the time personal data is obtained, the User will be informed of the period for which it will be retained or, where this is not possible, the criteria used to determine this period.

Recipients of personal data

The User's personal data indicated in the contact form will not be shared with other recipients.

If the Data Controller intends to transfer personal data to a third country or international organisation, at the time personal data is obtained the User will be informed of the third country or international organisation to which the transfer is intended, as well as the existence or absence of an adequacy decision by the Commission.

Personal data of minors

Respecting the provisions of Articles 8 of the GDPR and 13 of the RDLOPD, only persons over 14 years of age may lawfully give their consent for the processing of their personal data by THE WEBSITE OWNER. For those under 14, parental or guardian consent will be required, and processing will only be considered lawful to the extent that such consent has been granted.

Secrecy and security of personal data

THE WEBSITE OWNER undertakes to adopt the necessary technical and organisational measures, at the level of security appropriate to the risk of the data collected, so as to ensure the security of personal data and prevent its accidental or unlawful destruction, loss or alteration, or unauthorised disclosure of or access to personal data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed.

The Website has an SSL (Secure Socket Layer) certificate, which ensures that personal data is transmitted securely and confidentially, as the transmission of data between the server and the User, and in feedback, is fully encrypted.

However, since THE WEBSITE OWNER cannot guarantee the imperviousness of the internet nor the complete absence of hackers or others who may fraudulently access personal data, the Data Controller undertakes to notify the User without undue delay when a personal data breach occurs that is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons. Following Article 4 of the GDPR, a personal data breach means a breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, personal data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed.

Personal data will be treated as confidential by the Data Controller, who undertakes to inform and to guarantee through a legal or contractual obligation that such confidentiality is respected by its employees, associates and all persons to whom it makes such information accessible.

Rights arising from the processing of personal data

The User has rights over THE WEBSITE OWNER and may therefore exercise against the Data Controller the following rights recognised in the GDPR:

  • Right of access: the User's right to obtain confirmation as to whether or not THE WEBSITE OWNER is processing their personal data and, if so, to obtain information about their specific personal data and the processing carried out by THE WEBSITE OWNER, as well as, among other things, information available about the origin of the data and the recipients of actual or planned communications.
  • Right to rectification: the User's right to have their personal data corrected if it is inaccurate or, taking into account the purposes of the processing, incomplete.
  • Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten"): the User's right, unless current legislation provides otherwise, to obtain the deletion of their personal data when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or processed; the User has withdrawn consent and there is no other legal basis for the processing; the User has objected to the processing and there is no other legitimate reason to continue; the personal data has been processed unlawfully; the personal data must be deleted to comply with a legal obligation; or the personal data has been obtained in connection with the direct provision of information society services to a minor under 14 years of age.
  • Right to restriction of processing: the User's right to limit the processing of their personal data. The User has the right to obtain restriction of processing where they contest the accuracy of their data; the processing is unlawful; the Data Controller no longer needs the personal data but the User needs it to make a legal claim; and where the User has objected to processing.
  • Right to data portability: where processing is carried out by automated means, the User has the right to receive their personal data from the Data Controller in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and to transmit it to another controller. Where technically feasible, the Data Controller will transmit the data directly to that other controller.
  • Right to object: the User's right to prevent the processing of their personal data or to have such processing stopped by THE WEBSITE OWNER.
  • Right not to be subject to automated individual decision-making, including profiling: the User's right not to be subject to a decision based solely on the automated processing of their personal data, including profiling, unless applicable law provides otherwise.

The User may exercise their rights by sending a written communication to the Data Controller with the reference "GDPR-barbellclubs.com", specifying:

  • The User's full name and a copy of their identity document. Where representation is permitted, identification of the person representing the User by the same means and the document accrediting the representation will also be required. A photocopy of the identity document may be replaced by any other means valid in law that proves identity.
  • The request with the specific grounds for the request or the information to be accessed.
  • Address for notifications.
  • Date and signature of the applicant.
  • Any document supporting the request.

This request and any attached documents may be sent to the following email address: info@barcelonabarbellclub.com.

Links to third-party websites

The Website may include hyperlinks or links providing access to third-party web pages that are not operated by THE WEBSITE OWNER. The owners of those websites will have their own data protection policies and are solely responsible for their own files and privacy practices.

Complaints to the supervisory authority

If the User considers that there is a problem or infringement of applicable regulations in the way their personal data is being processed, they have the right to effective judicial protection and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement. In Spain, the supervisory authority is the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD).

Acceptance and changes to this privacy policy

The User must have read and agreed to the conditions on the protection of personal data contained in this Privacy Policy and must accept the processing of their personal data in order for the Data Controller to proceed with such processing in the manner, for the periods and for the purposes indicated. Use of the Website will imply acceptance of the Website's Privacy Policy.

THE WEBSITE OWNER reserves the right to modify its Privacy Policy at its own discretion or prompted by a legislative, jurisprudential or doctrinal change by the Spanish Data Protection Agency. Changes or updates to this Privacy Policy will not be explicitly notified to the User. Users are advised to check this page periodically in order to keep up to date with the latest changes or updates.

This Privacy Policy was updated on 1 January 2019 to adapt to Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (GDPR).

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 can remember certain information that, subsequently, only the server that implemented it will read. Cookies facilitate browsing, make it more user-friendly and do not damage the browsing device.

Cookies are automatic procedures for collecting information relating to the preferences determined by the User during their visit to the Website in order to recognise them as a User, and to personalise their experience and use of the Website; they may also, for example, help identify and resolve errors.

The information collected through cookies may include the date and time of visits to the Website, pages viewed, time spent on the Website and sites visited immediately before and after. However, no cookie can contact the User's telephone number or any other personal means of contact. No cookie can extract information from the User's hard drive or steal personal information. The only way in which the User's private information forms part of the cookie file is if the user personally provides that information to the server.

Cookies that enable identification of a person are considered personal data. Therefore, the Privacy Policy described above will apply to them. In this regard, consent from the User will be required for their use. Such consent will be communicated, based on a genuine choice, offered through an affirmative and positive decision, prior to the initial processing, revocable and documented.

First-party cookies

These are cookies sent to the User's computer or device and managed exclusively by THE WEBSITE OWNER for the better functioning of the Website. The information collected is used to improve the quality of the Website and its Content and the User's experience. These cookies allow the Website to recognise the User as a returning visitor and adapt the content to offer them content that matches their preferences.

The entity or entities responsible for supplying cookies may transfer this information to third parties, provided that this is required by law or a third party processes this information on behalf of such entities.

Social media cookies

THE WEBSITE OWNER incorporates social media plugins, which allow access to social media platforms from the Website. For this reason, social media cookies may be stored in the User's browser. The owners of these social networks have their own data protection and cookie policies and are solely responsible for their own files and privacy practices. The User should refer to those policies for information about those cookies and, where applicable, the processing of their personal data. For information purposes only, the links to the relevant privacy and/or cookie policies are set out below:

Disabling, refusing and deleting cookies

The User can disable, refuse and delete cookies — in whole or in part — installed on their device by configuring their browser (including, for example, Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge). The procedures for refusing and deleting cookies may differ between browsers. Consequently, the User should consult the instructions provided by their own browser. If they refuse the use of cookies — in whole or in part — they may continue to use the Website, although certain features may be limited.

Changes to the Cookie Policy

The Cookie Policy of this Website may change or be updated; the User is therefore advised to review this policy each time they access the Website in order to be adequately informed about how and for what purpose we use cookies.

VI. Links policy

THE WEBSITE OWNER's Website provides or may provide Users with linking tools (including, among others, links, banners, buttons), directories and search engines that allow Users to access websites owned and/or managed by third parties.

The installation of these links, directories and search engines on the Website is intended to facilitate Users' search for and access to information available on the internet, and cannot be considered a suggestion, recommendation or invitation to visit them.

THE WEBSITE OWNER does not offer or market, either directly or through third parties, the products and/or services available on such linked sites.

Nor does it guarantee the technical availability, accuracy, truthfulness, validity or legality of sites not belonging to it that may be accessed via the links.

THE WEBSITE OWNER will in no event review or monitor the content of other websites, nor does it approve, examine or adopt as its own the products and services, content, files and any other material existing on those linked sites.

THE WEBSITE OWNER assumes no responsibility for any damages that may arise from access to, use of, quality or lawfulness of the content, communications, opinions, products and services of websites not managed by THE WEBSITE OWNER that are linked from this Website.

A User or third party who creates a hyperlink from a page on another, different website to THE WEBSITE OWNER's Website should know that:

  • No reproduction — in whole or in part — of any Content and/or Services of the Website is permitted without the express authorisation of THE WEBSITE OWNER.
  • No false, inaccurate or incorrect statement about THE WEBSITE OWNER's Website or its Content and/or Services is permitted.
  • Except for the hyperlink itself, the website on which such a hyperlink is established may not contain any element of this Website protected as intellectual property under Spanish law, unless expressly authorised by THE WEBSITE OWNER.
  • Establishing the hyperlink does not imply a relationship between THE WEBSITE OWNER and the owner of the website from which it is made, nor THE WEBSITE OWNER's knowledge or acceptance of the content, services and/or activities offered on that website, and vice versa.

VII. Intellectual and industrial property

THE WEBSITE OWNER, on its own behalf or as assignee, holds all intellectual and industrial property rights to the Website, as well as to the elements contained therein (including but not limited to: images, sound, audio, video, software or text, trademarks or logos, colour combinations, structure and design, selection of materials used, computer programmes required for its operation, access and use, etc.).

If the User or a third party considers that any of the Website's Content constitutes an infringement of intellectual property rights, they should immediately notify THE WEBSITE OWNER through the contact details in the General Information section of this Legal Notice and General Terms of Use.
