2.3. Purpose of the processing

The data provided is processed for the following purposes:

2.4. Legal basis

The legal basis for the processing of data is the consent provided by the user when completing and submitting the forms on the website, as well as, where applicable, the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures requested by the data subject.

2.5. International data transfers — the Chinese market

Given the nature of Gea3 Consulting’s business, which is aimed at facilitating trade between Spanish and Chinese companies, we hereby expressly state the following:

Certain personal data provided by the user may be disclosed to companies, distributors, buyers or business partners based in the People’s Republic of China, to the extent necessary for the provision of the business matchmaking and networking service requested by the client.

China does not have an Adequacy Decision from the European Commission, meaning that such international data transfers take place outside the European Economic Area. In such cases, Gea3 Consulting obtains the explicit consent of the data subject prior to the transfer and, where applicable, implements the additional safeguards provided for in the regulations (such as standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission), whilst informing the user of the potential risks arising from such a transfer before it takes place.

2.6. Using WeChat as a communication channel

This website offers the option to contact Gea3 Consulting via WeChat, a messaging platform owned by a third party (Tencent Holdings Limited), with servers and data processing subject to the laws of the People’s Republic of China.

Gea3 Consulting has no control over, nor is it responsible for, the privacy policies or data processing carried out by WeChat as an independent platform. We recommend that users consult WeChat’s own privacy policy before using this contact channel.

2.7. Retention period

Personal data will be retained for as long as is necessary to deal with the enquiry or provide the requested service, and thereafter, where applicable, for the duration of any applicable statutory limitation periods.

2.8. Intended audience

The data will not be disclosed to third parties unless required by law, or in the circumstances described in section 2.5 (transfers necessary for the provision of the commercial intermediary service), and subject to the data subject’s informed consent.

As data controllers, the following are involved in the provision of the service: Raiola Networks (web hosting provider), CDmon (domain registrar) and CookieYes (cookie consent management platform), each in accordance with its own privacy policy.

2.9. Rights of data subjects

Users may, at any time, exercise their rights to right of access, rectification, erasure, objection, restriction of processing and data portability regarding your data, by writing to info@gea3.com, enclosing a copy of a document proving your identity.

Furthermore, the user has the right to lodge a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD) (www.aepd.es) if you consider that the processing of your personal data does not comply with current legislation.
