3. Purpose and legal basis for processing your data

Why and for what do we process your personal data?

Although each specific purpose is indicated in the form or medium through which your data has been requested, they are also contemplated in the Register of Processing Activities.

The main purposes for which we process your personal data are as follows:

  • To process communications received through our communication channels 
    We need to know your basic personal and contact data to address you in response to your communication.
  • To allow you to access the benefits of nominative services 
    Some of our services require the nominative identification of each person to access the benefits they provide, as they are for personal and non-transferable use

In some cases, this requirement is determined by legal regulations, such as access to transport discounts for large families, or by the service's definition itself, such as bike rentals and on-demand transport.

However, the primary purpose of CTAN processing the personal data of the interested party is to execute the functions and obligations of the Entity within its competencies, according to the requirements indicated by the current regulations.

What is the legal basis for processing your personal data

Generally, the legal basis that allows us to perform processing activities is one of the following from Article 6 of the GDPR:

  • 6.1 b) Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract.
  • 6.1 c) Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject.
  • 6.1 e) Processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

To a lesser extent, the legality of some processing will be the consent of the data subject:

  • 6.1 a) The data subject has given consent to the processing of his or her personal data for one or more specific purposes.

When is this policy applicable?

EThis Policy applies to the personal data we collect, use, and process in the context of your relationship with us as a regular public transport user, including when you travel with us or use other of our services, when you browse our website, or when you contact our User Service Center.

4. Data

What do we mean by personal data?

Personal data refers to data that identifies you or could be used to address your requests or to provide the regular public transport service for passengers and complementary services.

How can you protect your personal data?

We are stringent in the measures we apply to protect the personal data you provide us. Here are some steps you can take to keep your data safe in relation to our services:

  • Don't share your login details for accessing your personal area on the Consortium's website. To ensure secure access to the private area of our website, don't share your access keys with anyone. When finished using the website or mobile app, you should log out if someone might have access to your computer or device. This is especially important if using a public access computer.
  • Be cautious and protect yourself from internet fraud and 'Phishing'. There is a fraudulent internet practice called 'Phishing' that involves illegally obtaining personal data by deception. Unsolicited emails are sent to individuals on lists illegally obtained by third parties, asking recipients to enter or confirm bank details or passwords on a cloned or fake website.
    You can call us to verify the authenticity of any communication you receive on our behalf.

When do we collect your personal data?

We collect personal data when you request a service that requires personal identification or when you communicate with us through the Web forms. For more information, see the following section.

If the certificate to be issued is for use, you must also inform your transport card number.
  • Nominative transport card data: Name, email, phone, NIF, address, photograph, and family title.
  • Demand transport data: NIF, email, and optionally the phone.
  • Bicycle rental service data: Name, NIF, transport card number, and bank account details.

Do we collect sensitive personal data?

There's no need to collect sensitive data for our regular public transport service for passengers or any of our complementary services.

When will we send you communications?

We will only send you communications in response to your requests or if there's a change in the terms of a service you've subscribed to.

5. Retention Period

How long do we keep personal data?

The personal data provided by the interested parties are kept strictly for the time necessary to fulfill the purpose for which they were collected and to determine the possible liabilities that could arise from the purpose of the processing.

Once the processing activity is completed, they will be retained for the periods provided for in the current provisions on documentary archiving of the Autonomous Community of Andalusia. Once these periods expire, your data will be deleted as long as no type of liability can be claimed derived from a legal relationship or obligation, or from the execution of a contract, or from the application of pre-contractual measures requested by the interested party.

6. Communication and International Transfers

Who do we share your personal data with?

In general, the personal data of the interested party will not be communicated to third parties, except for a legal obligation. Among these obligations might be communications to the Ombudsman and the Ombudsman of Andalusia, judges and courts interested in the procedures related to claims presented, as well as other bodies and administrations or public entities with competence. Any communication of personal data not provided for in the regulations will require the consent of the interested party.
