What personal data we collect
We may collect the information you choose to send us through contact forms, service request forms, email, phone or WhatsApp. This can include your name, email address, phone number, nationality, location, immigration status, tax situation, case details and any other information you provide voluntarily.
We may also collect limited technical data such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited and cookie preferences, depending on the settings you choose and the tools used on the website.
Why we use your data
We use personal data to respond to enquiries, assess whether we can help with your case, provide the requested service, maintain communication, manage appointments, issue invoices where relevant, comply with legal obligations and improve the performance and security of the website.
Legal basis for processing
Depending on the context, the legal basis for processing may be your consent, the performance of pre-contractual or contractual measures at your request, our legitimate interest in maintaining secure and effective services, or compliance with legal obligations.
How long we keep your data
We keep enquiry data for as long as needed to handle your request and for any additional period required by accounting, tax, legal or administrative obligations. When data is no longer needed, it is deleted or securely archived in accordance with applicable law.
Who may receive your data
Your data may be handled by trusted service providers such as hosting, email, website maintenance or professional support providers acting on our behalf. We may also disclose data when required by law, by a competent authority or to protect our legal rights.
International transfers
If any provider processes data outside the European Economic Area, we only use services that offer appropriate safeguards for international transfers in line with applicable data protection rules.
Your rights
You may have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict or object to processing, and to request portability of your data where applicable. You may also withdraw consent at any time for processing based on consent. To exercise your rights, contact us at contact@barcelonaexpat.com.
Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, loss or disclosure. No method of transmission or storage is fully risk-free, but we work to keep the website and related communications as secure as reasonably possible.
Children
This website is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children without appropriate authorisation where required by law.
