PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION POLICY:

Gathering of Personal Information

The Internet Portal of the University of Alicante specialized in Industrial and Intellectual Property and Information Society (“UAIPIT”), with its headquarters at the University of Alicante, Campus de Sant Vicent del Raspeig, Ap. Correus 99 – E – 03080 Alacant, hereby informs the users of its services (the “Users”) regarding its Privacy Policy for Personal Data (“Personal Data”) so that Users may freely and voluntarily determine if they wish to provide UAIPIT with the Personal Data that may be requested from them or that may be obtained from Users during the use of the services offered by UAIPIT, for inclusion in a computer file.

The creation, existence, and maintenance of said computer file is for the administration of data, with the sole goal of carrying out its functions. The information will be provided to UAIPIT and to the government entities that are legally entitled to it.

The refusal to provide any required Personal Data will result in a denial of our services. As will be explained below, Users can always exercise the rights of opposition, access, correction, and cancellation in the manner provided for under the Organic Law 15/1999, of December 13, regarding Protection of Personal Data.

Unless you explicitly state otherwise, we will deem that you accept our Privacy Policy for Personal Data, and that you give express consent to UAIPIT to handle your personal data, pursuant to the provisions of Law 15/1999, of December 13, regarding Protection of Personal Data.

Except in fields where otherwise indicated, all answers to questions about Personal Data are obligatory, because the lack of an answer reduces the quality or quantity of the corresponding service.

The User guarantees that all Personal Data provided to UAIPIT are true, and commits to informing UAIPIT about any modification to the same.

The gathering and computerizing of Personal Data also includes the sending of survey forms; however, the User is not obligated to answer.

Security of Personal Information

UAIPIT has adopted the legally-required levels of security for Personal Data protection, and shall endeavour to install those other means and technical methods that are within its possibilities so as to avoid the loss, improper use, alteration, unauthorized access, and theft of Personal Data provided to UAIPIT.
