2. Definitions

The following definitions are those derived from the GDPR and the Information Technology and Freedoms Act:

PERSONAL DATA or DATA - Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This person can be identified directly (e.g., name and surname) or indirectly (e.g., by a telephone number or license plate number, an identifier such as social security number, a postal or email address, as well as voice or image), by means of a single piece of data or by the combination of several pieces of data (e.g., a woman living at a certain address, born on a certain day, and a member of a certain association).

RECIPIENT - The natural or legal person, public authority, service, or any other body authorized to receive communication of data recorded in a file or processing by virtue of its functions.

FILE - A file is a data processing operation that is organized in a stable and structured set of data. The data in a file is accessible according to specific criteria.

DATA CONTROLLER - The Data Controller is the legal entity (company, municipality, etc.) or natural person who determines the purposes and means of a processing, i.e., the objective and the way to achieve it. In practice and in general, it is the legal entity embodied by its legal representative.
