Service providers process data on behalf of The Scaling Operator under data processing agreements:

Some of these providers are based outside the European Economic Area, including in the United States. Where that is the case, transfers are covered by the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses or an equivalent safeguard.

Under the GDPR you have the right to request access to your data, to have it corrected, to have it deleted, to restrict or object to its processing, and to receive it in a portable format. To exercise any of these, email [email protected]. You will receive a reply within one month.
If you believe your data has been handled improperly, you can lodge a complaint with the Spanish data protection authority, the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (www.aepd.es), or with the supervisory authority in your own country.
7. Cookies and local storage
This site does not use advertising or tracking cookies. The application form stores your unsent answers in your own browser (local storage) so you do not lose them if you leave the page. That information stays on your device and is deleted once the form is submitted. The hosting platform may set strictly necessary cookies required for the page and the booking calendar to function.
8. Children
This site and this service are not directed at people under 18, and no application from a minor will be processed.
9. Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated when the service or the tools behind it change. The date at the top always shows the current version.
