Users are responsible for Third Party Personal Data obtained, published or shared with Brachot.

Maintaining and improving our website;

Entering into and executing agreements (with customers and suppliers);

Administration staff, intermediaries and applicants/trainees;

Informing about our activities, events, products, services, special offers or newsletters related to our company, or personalised advertising, with the explicit, prior consent of the user as the legal basis.

If we need to use/process data for purposes other than those mentioned above, we will contact you before using it, so that you are able to refuse its use.


Legal bases of the processing:

Personal data is processed on the basis of:

art. 6.1 a) GDPR Regulation : your consent with one or more processing purposes

If the processing of Personal Data takes place on the basis of art. 6.1 a) GDPR regulation, the user always has the right to withdraw the given consent.


Transfer to third parties:

We do not share your personal data with third parties unless we have received your prior consent; we are obliged to do so in the context of a regulation or legal procedure; or when requested to do so by legislative or judicial authorities.

In the exceptional case that Brachot transfers Personal Data to organizations or companies with which it collaborates, your explicit prior consent will be requested ("opt-in").

The user acknowledges and accepts that the various companies that are part of the Brachot Group (within the Union) are not considered third parties and that your Personal Data may be shared with them.

Brachot guarantees a similar level of protection by making contractual obligations opposable to these (possible) third parties, which are similar to this Privacy Policy (Processing Agreement).
