· compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject;
· the performance of a contract to which you are a party;
· a legitimate business interest that is not overridden by interests you have to protect the information;
· where none of the above applies, your consent (which we will ask for before we process the information).
The purposes for which we use information about you, with corresponding methods of collection and legal basis for use, are:
Purpose |
Method of collection and legal basis for Processing |

Who do we share your information with, and for what purposes?
We may share information about you with:
· Philip Morris International affiliates;
· third parties who provide Philip Morris International affiliates or you with products or services;
· Philip Morris International affiliates’ carefully selected business partners and advertisers (in areas connected with our products, or consistent with their style and image) so that they can contact you with offers that they think may interest you, in accordance with your preferences; and

· Information about you will be shared with Philip Morris International Management SA (based in Lausanne, Switzerland), which is the place of central administration of personal data processing for Philip Morris International affiliates.

· Information about you may be shared with the Philip Morris International affiliate that is responsible for the country in which you live (if it wasn’t the Philip Morris International affiliate that first collected the information) for all the purposes described in this notice.
· Information about you may be shared with any other Philip Morris International affiliate that you contact (for example, if you travel and you want to know where to buy Philip Morris International products in a new country, or where to find service or support for Philip Morris International products) in order to enhance our service to you.
Details of Philip Morris International affiliates and the countries in which they are established are available here.
Sharing data with Third Parties
· We may share information about you with third parties who provide Philip Morris International affiliates or you with products or services (such as advisers, payment service providers, delivery providers, retailers, product coaches, information services providers and age verification providers).
· We may share information about you with Philip Morris International affiliates’ carefully-selected third party business partners and advertisers (in line with the kind of thing you might associate with our products, for example because they have similar or complementary image, style, or functionality) so that they can contact you with products, services and promotions that they think may interest you, in accordance with your preferences.
· We may share information about you with other third parties, where required or permitted by law, for example: regulatory authorities; government departments; in response to a request from law enforcement authorities or other government officials; when we consider disclosure to be necessary or appropriate to prevent physical harm or financial loss or in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual illegal activity; and in the context of organisational restructuring.
Where might information about you be sent?
As with any multinational organisation, Philip Morris International affiliates transfer information globally. Accordingly, information about you may be transferred globally (if your information is collected within the European Economic Area, this means that your information may be transferred outside it).
When using information as described in this notice, information about you may be transferred either within or outside the country or territory where it was collected, including to a country or territory that may not have equivalent data protection standards.
For example, Philip Morris International affiliates within the European Economic Area (“EEA”) may transfer personal information to Philip Morris International affiliates outside the EEA. In all cases, the transfer will be:
· on the basis of a European Commission adequacy decision ;
· subject to appropriate safeguards, for example the EU Model Contracts ; or
· necessary to discharge obligations under a contract between you and us (or the implementation of pre-contractual measures taken at your request) or for the conclusion or performance of a contract concluded in your interest between us and a third party, such as in relation to travel arrangements.
In all cases, appropriate security measures for the protection of personal information will be applied in those countries or territories, in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
How do we protect information about you?
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal information that we hold from unauthorised disclosure, use, alteration or destruction. Where appropriate, we use encryption and other technologies that can assist in securing the information you provide. We also require our service providers to comply with strict data privacy and security requirements.
How long will information about you be kept?
We will retain information about you for the period necessary to fulfil the purposes for which the information was collected. After that, we will delete it. The period will vary depending on the purposes for which the information was collected. Note that in some circumstances, you have the right to request us to delete the information. Also, we are sometimes legally obliged to retain the information, for example, for tax and accounting purposes.
Typically, we retain data based on the criteria described in the table below:
Type |
Explanation/typical retention criteria |
· marketing to you (including marketing communications) (if you use digital touchpoints and are contactable) |
Most of the information in your marketing profile is kept for the duration of our marketing relationship with you; for example, while you continue to use digital touchpoints, or respond to our communications. However, some elements of your marketing profile, such as records of how we interact with you, naturally go out of date after a period of time, so we delete them automatically after defined periods (typically 3 years) as appropriate for the purpose for which we collected them. |
· marketing to you (including marketing communications) (if you are no longer in contact with us) |
This scenario is the same as the above, but if we don’t have any contact with you for a long period (typically 2 years), we will stop sending you marketing communications and delete your history of responses to them. This will happen, for example, if you never click through to an invitation to an event, log on to a digital touchpoint, or contact customer care, during that time. The reason is that in these circumstances, we assume you would prefer not to receive the communications. |
· marketing to you (including marketing communications) (if you are not contactable) |
If you have registered to receive marketing communications, but the information you give us to contact you doesn’t work, we will retain your details for a period of typically only 6 months to allow you to return and correct it. |
· marketing to you (including marketing communications) (incomplete registrations) |
If you commence registering yourself in a database, but do not complete the process (for example, if you don’t complete the age verification process, or you don’t accept the touchpoint’s terms of use), we will retain your details for only 6 months to allow you to return and complete the process. |
· market research |
If you are not registered with us for other purposes (e.g. marketing communications, warranty, customer care), and we use publicly available information about you in order to understand the market or your preferences, we will retain the information about you for a short period in order to perform the particular item of market research. |
|
If you purchase goods, we will retain details of this for so long as required to complete the sale, and to comply with any legal obligations (for example, for tax and accounting record-keeping purposes). If you also register for a warranty for a device, we will retain details of this for so long as relevant to the warranty. |
|
If you contact customer care, we will make a record of the matter (including details of your enquiry and our response) and retain it while it remains relevant to our relationship, for example if you need us to replace a device under warranty, or if your recent enquiries are relevant. Temporary records (for example, an automated recording of a telephone call in which you ask us to direct you to a retail outlet) may be relevant only until more permanent records are made, and will be retained only temporarily. |
· system audit logs |
System audit logs are retained typically for a period of only a few months. |
|
Business analytics data is typically collected automatically when you use Philip Morris International touchpoints and anonymised/aggregated shortly afterwards. |
What rights and options do you have?
You may have some or all of the following rights in respect of information about you that we hold:
· request us to give you access to it;
· request us to rectify it, update it, or erase it;
· request us to restrict our using it, in certain circumstances;
· object to our using it, in certain circumstances;
· withdraw your consent to our using it;
· data portability, in certain circumstances;
· opt out from our using it for direct marketing; and
· lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority in your country (if there is one).
We offer you easy ways to exercise these rights, such as “unsubscribe” links, or giving you a contact address, in messages you receive.
Some mobile applications we offer might also send you push messages, for instance about new products or services. You can disable these messages through the settings in your phone or the application.
The rights you have depend on the laws of your country. If you are in the European Economic Area, you will have the rights set out in the table below. If you are elsewhere, you can contact us (see the paragraph “who should you contact with questions?” at the end of this notice) to find out more.
Right in respect of the information about you that we hold |
Further detail (note: certain legal limits to all these rights apply) |
· to request us to give you access to it |
This is confirmation of:
· the categories of persons with whom we share the information and, where any person is outside the EEA and does not benefit from a European Commission adequacy decision , the appropriate safeguards for protecting the information; · (if we have it) the source of the information, if we did not collect it from you; · (to the extent we do any, which will have been brought to your attention) the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, that produces legal effects concerning you, or significantly affects you in a similar way, and information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for you; and · the criteria for determining the period for which we will store the information. On your request we will provide you with a copy of the information about you that we use (provided this does not affect the rights and freedoms of others). |
· to request us to rectify or update it |
This applies if the information we hold is inaccurate or incomplete. |
· to request us to erase it |
This applies if: · the information we hold is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which we use it; · we use the information on the basis of your consent and you withdraw your consent (in this case, we will remember not to contact you again, unless you tell us you want us to delete all information about you in which case we will respect your wishes); · we use the information on the basis of legitimate interest and we find that, following your objection, we do not have an overriding interest in continuing to use it;
|
· to request us to restrict our processing of it |
This right applies, temporarily while we look into your case, if you:
· have objected to our using the information on the basis of legitimate interest (if you make use of your right in these cases, we will tell you before we use the information again). This right applies also if: · our use is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the data; or · we no longer need the data, but you require it to establish a legal case. |
· to object to our processing it |
You have two rights here: (i) if we use information about you for direct marketing: you can “opt out” (without the need to justify it) and we will comply with your request; and (ii) if we use the information about you on the basis of legitimate interest for purposes other than direct marketing, you can object to our using it for those purposes, giving an explanation of your particular situation, and we will consider your objection. |
· to withdraw your consent to our using it |
This applies if the legal basis on which we use the information about you is consent. These cases will be clear from the context. |
· to data portability |
If: (i) you have provided data to us; and (ii) we use that data, by automated means, and on the basis either of your consent, or on the basis of discharging our contractual obligations to you, then you have the right to receive the data back from us in a commonly used format, and the right to require us to transmit the data to someone else if it is technically feasible for us to do so. |
· to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority in your country |
Each European Economic Area country must provide for one or more public authorities for this purpose. You can find their contact details here: http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/bodies/authorities/index_en.htm For other countries please consult the website of your country’s authority. |
Country-specific additional points
According to which country you are in, you may have some additional rights.
If you are in France:
· If you are in France, you have the right to give us instructions regarding information we hold about you in the event of your death (specifically, whether we should store or delete it, and whether others should have the right to see it). You may:
(A) issue general instructions to a digital service provider registered with the French data protection supervisory authority (called “CNIL”) (these instructions apply to all use of information about you); or
(B) give us specific instructions that apply only to our use of information about you.
Your instructions may require us to transfer information about you to a third party (but where the information contains information about others, our obligation to respect also their privacy rights might mean that we can’t follow your instructions to the letter). You may appoint a third party to be responsible for ensuring your instructions are followed. If you do not appoint a third party in that way, you successors will (unless you specify otherwise in your instructions) be entitled to exercise your rights over information about you after your death:
(i) in order to administer your estate (in which case your successors will be able to access information about you to identify and obtain information that could be useful to administer your estate, including any digital goods or data that could be considered a family memory that is transferable to your successors); and
(ii) to ensure that parties using information about you take into account your death (such as closing your account, and restricting the use of, or updating, information about you).
You may amend or revoke your instructions at any time. For further information on the processing of information about you in the event of your death, see Article 40-1 of the law 78-17 dated 6 January 1978. When you die, by default, you will stop using your account and we will delete information about you in accordance with our retention policies (see the paragraph “How long will information about you be kept?” for details).
Who should you contact with questions?
If you have any questions, or wish to exercise any of your rights, you can find contact details for the relevant Philip Morris International affiliate, and if applicable data protection officer, here. Contact details will also be given in any communications that a Philip Morris International affiliate sends you.
If your country has a data protection authority, you have a right to contact it with any questions or concerns. If the relevant Philip Morris International affiliate cannot resolve your questions or concerns, you also have the right to seek judicial remedy before a national court.
Changes to this notice
We may update this notice (and any supplemental privacy notice), from time to time. We will notify you of the changes where required by law to do so.

5.7 You will be able to access other benefits mentioned in clause 8.
6. Friends Programme (recommendation)
6.1 Who can recommend: All persons over 18 years of age may participate in the Programme. They must be of Spanish nationality or of any other nationality, resident in the Kingdom of Spain, including the mainland and the Balearic Islands, with the Canary Islands and the cities of Ceuta and Melilla being expressly excluded (hereafter we will refer to the territory where the Programme applies as “the Territory”). Non-Spanish consumers must prove their residency with a temporary or permanent residency permit, or any other document authorised by the competent authorities.
Furthermore, in addition to the requirements referred to in the paragraph above, people who wish to take part in the Programme must be registered on the PHILIP MORRIS SPAIN, S.L. (hereafter “PMS”) database as adult IQOS users and must have purchased and registered at least one IQOS Kit in the Territory. Therefore, people who have purchased only accessories or parts included in the IQOS Kit separately are excluded.
Employees or owners of tobacconists or any other persons whose participation in the Programme would infringe Spanish law may not participate.
Finally, in order to participate, they must comply with the remaining requirements set out in these Terms and Conditions.
Anyone who fulfils the above conditions shall be referred to going forward as “the Godparent”.
6.2 Requirements to be met when selecting people for an IQOS recommendation: The Godparent may only recommend the IQOS electronic device (hereafter and interchangeably, “the Device”, “IQOS” or “the Product”) to adult smokers interested in the Product who are not registered on the PMS database as adult IQOS users and who reside in the Territory.
Anyone recommended by the Godparent who fulfils the above conditions shall be referred to going forward as “the Godchild”.
In any case, when recommending the Device, the Godparent commits to not encouraging the promotion, advertising or sale of any tobacco products.
6.3 Application process and Points: Any Godparent who wants to benefit from the rewards associated with the Programme by recommending the device to the Godchild, should choose one of the following processes:
a. Unique code:
1. The Programme website will offer the Godparent the option of obtaining a code that will be linked to their profile, so that they can share it with the Godchild via whatever means they deem appropriate. This recommendation code is personal and non-transferable and cannot be used by anyone other than the person who receives it.
2. The Godchild may access a website where more information about IQOS and the Programme will be provided. On that website, the Godchild will be able to access a free loan service for the device, request help from an IQOS ambassador, check the location of the sales points associated with the Programme, go to the online IQOS store and view the catalogue of rewards available to redeem points earned by recommendation.
3. When the Godchild uses the code when purchasing an IQOS Kit via one of the aforementioned channels and they register on the PMS database of adult IQOS users:
a. The Godparent will earn points. Please note that:
Each Godparent can make as many recommendations as they wish to, although they will only earn points for the first 5 recommendations each month.
b. The Godchild will earn points. Please note that:
-
The Godchild registering involves the activation of their profile on the Programme platform, so that they can in turn become the Godparent figure and recommend the Product to other adult smokers who meet the requirements of these terms and conditions (with the limitations mentioned above).
-
The fact that the Godparent does not earn points due to the limitations mentioned above does not imply that the Godchild cannot benefit from the advantages of having been recommended.
-
The Godchild will not receive points for this recommendation if any other promotions that exist on the device purchase date are applied. That is to say that it cannot be used in conjunction with other promotions. The points earned by both the Godparent and the Godchild may be redeemed against rewards on the website associated with the Programme.
b. Contact generation form:
-
The Programme website will offer the Godparent the option of putting the Godchild in contact with PMS, after a prior validation process.
-
Following this validation process, the Godchild – if they wish – will receive a link through which they will be able to access a specific website where more information about IQOS and the Programme will be provided. On that website, the Godchild will be able to request help from an IQOS ambassador, check the location of the sales points associated with the Programme, go to the online IQOS store or call the PMS IQOS customer service department. When the Godchild asks to be contacted by an IQOS brand ambassador, the website will provide them with the Godparent's code, so that it can be used on one of the aforementioned channels.
-
When the Godchild uses the code when purchasing an IQOS Kit via one of the aforementioned channels and they register on the PMS database of adult smokers who use IQOS, the Godparent will earn points (with the limits set forth above in paragraph a) unique code)
It is important to clarify that if the Godchild was previously registered with the PMS IQOS adult smokers database (i.e. if any of the details they provide – DNI, phone number, email, etc. – are already in the PMS database), they will be able to purchase the Device on any of the aforementioned channels, but neither the Godparent nor they will obtain any points under the Programme.
Also, when making a purchase, the Godchild should clarify that they wish to benefit from the Programme and use the aforementioned processes via the IQOS ambassadors (if the purchase is made offline) or on the website (if the purchase is made online), providing the code at the time of purchase.
In addition, if the Godchild returns the IQOS Kit for which the Godparent earned points, PMS reserves the right to remove these points from the Godparent's balance or to reclaim any rewards redeemed using those points.
6.4 How points work: Programme participants will be able to check their points balance on their Programme website profile.
Points earned by the Godparent may not be available for redemption until 30 days after they are generated.
To redeem their points, Programme participants should go to the “Catalogue” section, where each reward will have a points value. Points may only be redeemed for rewards that are equal in value or less than the points that the participant has available.
PMS may modify the catalogue at its sole discretion and update the points value of rewards at any time.
From 30 June 2019, points earned in the second half of each year (between 1 July and 31 December) will expire on 30 June of the following year. In addition, points earned during the first half of the year (between 1 January and 30 June) will expire on 31 December of that year. If participants do not redeem points in that period, then the points will be taken off their total balance.
6.5 Redeeming rewards and tax implications: Rewards that the Godparent redeems for points will be delivered to them within a maximum of one month from the date they were redeemed on the Programme website, without any shipping fees. If for any reason beyond PMS' control the intended rewards are not available, PMS reserves the right to replace them with others of the same or higher value. The amount of time taken for the winner to receive the rewards may be subject to the stock of units available from the supplier at that moment. If the supplier is unable to provide the rewards, PMS will proceed as set out in this section.
If any of the rewards involves attending an event (for example a concert, match, exhibition, gala, etc.), the cost involved in the winner travelling to the event will not be borne by PMS, unless expressly stated otherwise. If the winner is required to provide certain information or documentation, PMS will define the relevant deadline in its communications with that person. If within one month, the recipient does not send the documentation required to confirm their interest in receiving the rewards, they will be deemed not to accept the rewards and will therefore waive them.
For employees of PMS offices, all rewards redeemed by the Godparent will be subject to Personal Income Tax in accordance with the provisions of Law 35/2006, of 28 November. The value of these rewards shall be considered as remuneration in kind and as such will be subject to the corresponding PIT account entry in accordance with current legislation.
In the specific case of consumers (all participants who are not employees of PMS offices), during the term of the Programme, the Godparent may redeem their points for rewards that will have a certain financial value. The awarding of rewards may, where applicable, be subject to income or tax withholding for the Godparent. In this respect, if the total accumulated value of the rewards given to the Godparent is above three hundred euros (€300) of taxable value, they will be subject to Personal Income Tax, in accordance with the stipulations of articles 6 and 33 of Law 35/2006, of 28 November, on Personal Income Tax. Thus, where appropriate, the mandatory withholding or on-account payment will be applied in accordance with articles 73.2.c), 99 and 105 of the Regulation of that tax, approved by Royal Decree 439/2007, of 30 March. The Godparent will be responsible to the Tax Authorities for paying the taxes that correspond to the rewards obtained.
In order to calculate this “total accumulated value”, any amounts that the Godparent has received under the Programme and any other promotions by PMS in relation to IQOS during the current 2020 tax year will also be taken into account.
The Godparent declares that they are aware of any tax implications associated with the Programme and expressly renounces any claims for damages arising from their participation in it.
Furthermore, the marketing and/or sale of rewards is prohibited. If actions intended for the resale of the rewards are detected (either directly or indirectly under the guise of the sale or donation of another product), PMS shall immediately demand that the rewards be returned, reserving the right to exercise any resulting extra-judicial and legal measures, including those intended to protect its corporate image. It may also bring such actions to the attention of the appropriate authorities.
6.6 “Hal Cash” platform: The Programme may offer the Godparent the ability to exchange points for cash using the “Hal Cash” platform. If this was the case, the rewards catalogue would reflect this option.
“Hal Cash” is a banking service that allows individuals to send cash to a person’s mobile phone in an immediate and secure manner via a simple SMS. The beneficiary receives a notification straight away and can immediately withdraw the money from one of the selected ATMs without being a bank customer or using credit cards.
To be able to opt for rewards through “Hal Cash”, the Godparent must have registered for the Programme with a Spanish mobile phone number.
The process is as follows:
-
Once the Godparent redeems their points for a financial amount, they will receive two SMS messages. The first one will contain a PIN and the second a reference (“Hal Cash”).
-
From that moment on, the Godparent can go to an ATM that offers the “Hal Cash” service to withdraw their reward in cash.
-
The ATM will ask the Godparent for their mobile phone number, the reward amount, the reference and the PIN.
-
If the information is correct, the ATM will issue the reward amount and a receipt.
It is important to consider the following timeframes:
-
The time limit for withdrawing a reward at a “Hal Cash” ATM is 10 calendar days from the payment order. If 7 calendar days after the original SMS being sent to the Godparent they have not redeemed their prize, they will receive an SMS reminding them that the order will expire in 3 days. After these 10 days, the information associated with the payment orders will be deleted, so a new reference and PIN will have to be generated.
-
If the information expires, the winner will automatically receive a new submission, up to a maximum of 2 times. In the event that the Godparent does not go to an ATM within the specified period of time, they shall be deemed to have waived the reward
If the Godfather incorrectly enters the information into an ATM five times, they will be blocked and invalidated. If this happens, the winner will automatically receive new details in accordance with the process described in the above section regarding expiry of the information.
If the Godparent loses the details, they will have to wait ten days for them to expire and then follow the abovementioned process.
If the Programme was cancelled or terminated, and a participant had redeemed their points for cash through the “Hal Cash” platform but had not received or used the codes, they will have two months from the time they redeemed their points to redeem the codes. No rewards can be redeemed or claimed after that date.
The “Hal Cash” network ATMs may be out of service or have no cash available at that time. If this happens, the Godparent should go to another ATM in the network.
PHILIP MORRIS SPAIN S.L. shall under no circumstances be responsible for whether or not the ATMs associated with “Hal Cash” or with the system itself are working.
6.7 Validity: The Programme will come into force on 5 November 2020 and will remain in effect for an indefinite period until decided otherwise.
PMS reserves the right to modify the terms and conditions that govern the Programme (including its duration or the maximum number of recommendations per year) at any time, and will inform participants about this using the means available for that purpose.
6.8 Failure to comply with the terms and conditions, Cancellation of the Friends programme, Compensation: PMS does not accept any claims for damages of any kind resulting from a failure to comply with the rules for participation in this Programme or from the inability to participate in it or enjoy its benefits because a person fails to meet the required conditions.
Participants waive the right to make any kind of claim against PMS if the Programme is cancelled by the company. Termination or cancellation of the programme, which may happen unilaterally and without prior notice, will mean that participants will not be able to generate new points from that moment on. However, a period of two months will be granted for participants to redeem any points that they had when the Programme ended for items available in the catalogue, if they have enough points.
At the same time, PMS is not responsible for any damages that may derive from interference, omissions, interruptions, computer viruses, telephone failures or disconnections from the proper operation of the chosen system (telephone network, internet, etc.), or for anyone's inability to participate in the Programme for these reasons.
Likewise, PMS may declare the participation of individuals to be null if they detect irregularities in people's identification data. PMS is not responsible for the accuracy of the data provided by the participant. Consequently, if the data provided are incorrect or contain errors, PMS is not responsible for not being able to get in touch with the possible winner to inform them of the result or to manage delivery of the rewards with them.
PMS reserves the right to justifiably remove any participant who defrauds, alters or renders unusable the proper functioning and normal course of the Programme.
If any of the rewards involves attending an event (for example a concert, match, exhibition, gala, etc.), PMS shall not be responsible for the winner failing to access the event because they have not met the conditions established by the organiser or promoter to attend the event, nor for the cancellation or postponement of the event for reasons beyond PMS' control. PMS is also not responsible for any incidents that may occur at the event and/or for it being delayed or cancelled. PMS is not responsible for the exercise of the right of admission to the venues where the events are held, which results in the participant not being able to attend them.
6.9 Requirements that must be met by the Godparent when using the contact generation form regarding personal data protection and their responsibilities: The Godparent, as the person responsible for personal data processing on behalf of PMS, must comply with the relevant legislative obligations.
These include the fact that they should get the express consent of the Godchild for PMS (or a third party contracted by them for that purpose) to contact them to inform them about the Programme conditions and the benefits of the Product. To this end, the Godparent should inform the Godchild that:
-
their data will be included in a file for which PHILIP MORRIS SPAIN, S.L. is responsible;
-
the purpose of the processing is to provide them with information about the IQOS electronic device.
-
The legal basis for data processing is their consent.
-
the recipients are PHILIP MORRIS SPAIN, S.L. and, where applicable, suppliers hired to manage the contact with them;
-
they may exercise their rights under the relevant legislation by notifying PHILIP MORRIS SPAIN, S.L. in writing to C/ José Lázaro Galdiano 6, 28036 Madrid; and
-
they can find additional information about the Programme's privacy policy through the website
PMS has provided a form, which is available at the following link, that the Godparent can use to inform the Godchild of the above aspects.
The Godparent should keep that form (or an equivalent document used for the same purpose) as proof that they have provided the aforementioned information to the Godchild, that they have obtained their express consent and, generally speaking, that they have complied with personal data protection regulations.
In addition, by participating in the Programme, the Godparent declares that they are aware of, accept and submit to the obligations contained in the contract that can be found at the following link (hereafter, “the Data Processing Contract”). This will govern data processing, and expressly establishes that the data will only be processed in accordance with PMS' instructions, that they will not apply them or use them for a different purpose to that which is outlined in the said contract, nor will they communicate them to other people, not even for storage. In any event, the Godparent's participation in the Programme presupposes the acceptance of all the obligations in the Data Processing Contract.
If the Godparent makes use of the data for another purpose, shares them or uses them in contravention of the stipulations of the Data Processing Contract, they will also be held responsible for the processing, responding to any infractions that they personally made.
In any case, PMS shall not be liable if the company receives any kind of complaint and/or administrative or legal enquiry (particularly from the Spanish Data Protection Agency) that originates from a failure to comply with the legal provisions and, in particular, from a failure to fulfil the legislative duties associated with the collection and processing of the Godchild's data, in the aforementioned contract and in these terms and conditions.
