What data we process, why, and on what legal basis
This website has no forms. We only process the data you give us when you call or email us, and the data collected by the third-party tools you accept:
| Purpose | Legal basis | Retention period |
|---|---|---|
| Answering the enquiries you send us by email or phone (name, contact details and content of the enquiry). | Steps taken at your request prior to entering into a contract (GDPR art. 6.1.b) and, where applicable, your consent (art. 6.1.a). | As long as needed to reply and, if you do not become a client, for a maximum of one year. |
| Providing the legal services you hire and complying with our legal, tax and professional obligations. | Performance of a contract (art. 6.1.b) and compliance with legal obligations (art. 6.1.c). | For the duration of the professional relationship and, afterwards, for the statutory limitation periods. |
| Measuring website use in aggregate with Google Analytics, only if you accept analytics cookies. | Your consent (GDPR art. 6.1.a and LSSI art. 22.2), which you can withdraw at any time. | Up to 2 years (lifetime of the _ga cookies). Google Analytics keeps the data for the period set in the account, 14 months at most. |

Recipients and international transfers
We do not share your data with third parties unless required by law. The following providers have access to it as data processors, under contract:
- The firm's web hosting and email provider.
- Google Ireland Ltd., for Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and Google Maps, only if you accept them.
Google may process data in the United States. Google LLC is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (European Commission adequacy decision of 10 July 2023), so the transfer has adequate safeguards (GDPR art. 45).

You can exercise your rights of access, rectification, erasure, objection, restriction of processing and portability by writing to despacho@blanesabogados.com or by post to the firm's address, stating which right you are exercising.
You can withdraw any consent you have given at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing. For cookies, use the “Cookie settings” link in the footer.
If you believe we have not handled your data correctly, you can lodge a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency (www.aepd.es).
