Privacy policy
In accordance with the provisions of the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council (General Data Protection Regulation) of 27 April 2016 (hereinafter "RGPD"). PROMETUM SPAIN, S.L.U. (hereinafter "medmesafe") wishes to inform the user of the platform of the policy regarding the processing and protection of personal data belonging to users of the platform.
medmesafe hereby informs the user of the platform that this privacy policy contains all the aspects related to the processing of personal data performed by medmesafe as the responsible party via the platform. If, after reading this document, the user continues to access the platform, they are expressing their acceptance of this privacy policy. Otherwise, the user must leave the platform.
In addition, the user is informed that these conditions shall apply in a subsidiary manner to those which are established specifically for the same matter and are communicated to the user without limitation through the registration forms thus rendering this policy complementary to the previous conditions in areas which are non-contradictory.
The user is informed that any processing of personal data will fall within the scope of current Spanish legislation on data protection established by the RGPD.
For such purposes, personal data shall be understood to mean any information concerning identified or identifiable natural persons which, in the latter case, unequivocally identifies the data subject. The term user shall be understood to mean any identified or identifiable natural person who accesses the platform and who, through the means provided on the platform, provides their personal data to medmesafe. Such means include, but are not limited to, email and the completion of data collection forms or similar.
1. IDENTIFICATION OF THE REGISTERED NAME OF THE PARTY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FILE
medmesafe hereby informs the user that PROMETUM SPAIN S.L.U. (hereinafter "medmesafe") is responsible for processing personal data as well as keeping files which contain such personal data in order to collect and store personal data derived from the use of the platform or from any type of communication sent by the user to medmesafe.
2. PURPOSES ASSIGNED TO THE PERSONAL DATA
medmesafe is a platform which provides intermediation and hosting services. The platform enables individuals, who wish to use the services offered on the platform, to contact doctors, medical professionals, laboratories, distributors, companies and users (hereinafter collectively referred to as "third parties" or "service providers") who provide their services through the platform, which facilitates the selection, provision and enjoyment of services offered by such service providers.
In order to perform the intermediation activities, medmesafe is divided into two different areas which allow users to register either as individuals, who wish to use the services offered through the platform, or as professionals, who wish to offer their services through the platform.
As a result, the medmesafe platform acts as an intermediation mechanism in order to facilitate the contact between individuals interested in acquiring the analysis, prescription, medical counselling and advisory services offered by the laboratories, distributors, companies and professionals through the platform as well as facilitate the procurement of such services by the individuals in accordance with the terms established by the third-party service providers. The information generated by such services is stored centrally and is only accessible to the individual and the responsible professional assigned to the individual's file.
Therefore, medmesafe does not sell any type of product or service. It only provides an intermediation and hosting service which enables the users of the platform to view, select, offer and procure the services offered on the platform.
Hence, the only data medmesafe is responsible for is that which is provided by users when browsing the platform, completing the individual or professional registration forms and completing the contact or information request forms. The providers of the services offered through the platform shall be responsible for the data provided by the individuals for the procurement of such services and for any data generated during the contractual or service relationship they have with the individuals.
Users who access the medmesafe platform are not obliged to provide personal information to use the platform. Therefore, any communication of data for such purposes will be the result of the user voluntarily deciding to browse or use the services offered through the platform in a personalized manner.
In this sense, forms are available on the platform for purposes which include, but are not limited to, collecting personal data, such as user registration forms for both individuals and professionals, as well as contact forms and information request forms.
Notwithstanding the provisions contained in these conditions, in the aforementioned cases, the data processing conditions established and communicated to the user by medmesafe through the corresponding forms shall prevail in each case. This policy shall apply in a complementary and subsidiary manner to the aforementioned conditions in areas which are non-contradictory.

Accordingly, if the user does not want their data to be processed by medmesafe, they must refrain from communicating or sending their personal data to medmesafe, thus browsing the platform anonymously or, where appropriate, refraining from using the services available on the platform. Otherwise, we hereby inform users that communicating their data to medmesafe in accordance with the established terms implies that the user gives their free, unequivocal, specific, informed and express consent for their data to be processed by medmesafe.
Personal information will only be used for limited purposes such as those set forth above and/or including but not limited to those which, where appropriate, are unequivocally indicated prior to the collection and processing of the data of the data subject and which therefore constitute legitimate processing on the part of medmesafe.
Within the framework of the provision of services and the content offered through the platform, medmesafe may at any time request personal information about the user of the platform through forms or other means. In such cases, medmesafe will include an informative notice on the data collection form which indicates all of the conditions for processing personal data in accordance with RGPD, such as the obligatory or optional nature of answering the questions on the form, the consequences of obtaining data or refusing to supply it, the purposes of collecting the data as well as the potential transfer of data. Where appropriate, medmesafe shall request the user's consent prior to processing the personal data. In addition, with regard to those services which have special conditions, if these services include an informative text on data protection in order to regulate the use of the service, this policy shall always apply in a complementary and subsidiary manner to such informative texts in areas which are non-contradictory.
4. IDENTIFICATION OF THE RECIPIENTS TO WHOM MEDMESAFE INTENDS TO TRANSFER OR COMMUNICATE DATA
medmesafe only intends to transfer or communicate data where required in accordance with RGPD, in order to implement, comply with and control the relationship with the user and to meet their obligations with the competent public administrations in cases where required according to current legislation and, where appropriate, other entities such as State Security Forces and Bodies, Judges, the Public Prosecutor's Office, Courts, Court of Auditors and the Ombudsman at all times and in all applicable instances.

5. OTHER RECIPIENTS OF THE INFORMATION
medmesafe advises the user that this entity has sole responsibility and hereby guarantees the confidentiality, security and processing of the data in accordance with this policy with regard to the personal data collected from the user through the platform. medmesafe may not be held responsible for any processing or subsequent use of the personal data performed by third parties who offer their services through the platform and/or third-party providers of information society services which may access such data as a result of the provision of their services or through their operations.

6. QUALITY OF THE DATA
medmesafe advises the user that, unless in cases of legally constituted representation or with the corresponding authorisation, no user can use the identity of another person and communicate their personal data.

To this end, the user shall be solely responsible for any damage, direct and/or indirect, caused to third parties or medmesafe through the use of the personal data of another person or their own personal data if it is false, erroneous, out of date, inadequate or irrelevant. Equally, users who communicate the personal data of a third party shall be liable to them under the information obligation established in RGPD for instances when personal data has not been obtained from the data subject and/or the consequences of not having informed the data subject of such.
7. DATA OF MINORS OR LEGALLY INCAPACITATED PERSONS
In addition, if the user is under eighteen (18) years of age or is legally incapacitated, medmesafe points to the need to obtain the consent of their parents, guardians or legal representatives in order to communicate their personal data to medmesafe. Medmesafe therefore requests that such users refrain from communicating their data through the contact forms and from registering on the platform. The registration and use of the services on this site, in particular the purchase of such services, by persons who are under the age of eighteen (18) years or legally incapacitated is prohibited. In this last case, such persons are not legally represented in accordance with current legislation. Medmesafe shall not be held responsible for the actions of the minor or legally incapacitated person.
