DATA PROTECTION POLICY
BOOMERANG TV, S.A.
Introduction
The Spanish Constitution, in its Article 18 guarantees the right to honour, to personal and family privacy and to the own image. In particular, in section 4, it establishes the need to protect those fundamental rights in the field of information technologies. Thus, Article 18.4 of the Spanish Constitution stipulates:
“The law shall restrict the use of data processing in order to guarantee the honour and personal and family privacy of citizens and the full exercise of their rights.”.
To comply with this order and expand its content, the Organic Law on Regulation of the Automated Processing of Personal Data (5/1992, 29 October), known as the LORTAD, was enacted.
Subsequently, the European Union enacted the Directive 95/46/EC on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of data.
In compliance with that Directive, Spain enacted the Organic Law on the Protection of Personal Data (L.O. 15/1999, 13 December), hereunder LOPD, which meant the transposition of the Directive 95/46/EC to the Spanish legal frame, and the Royal Decree 1702/2007, 21 December, which approves the development regulation of the LOPD.
However, in order to ensure a consistent level of protection for natural persons throughout the Union and to prevent divergences hampering the free movement of personal data within the internal market, a Regulation was necessary to provide legal certainty and transparency for economic operators, including micro, small and medium-sized enterprises, and to provide natural persons in all Member States with the same level of legally enforceable rights and obligations and responsibilities for controllers and processors, to ensure consistent monitoring of the processing of personal data, and equivalent sanctions in all Member States as well as effective cooperation between the supervisory authorities of different Member States.
That is why the UE approved in 25 May 2016 the Regulation (UE) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation)
Currently, the General Data Protection Regulation of the European Union in force has repealed Directive 95/46/EC and it is fully and directly applicable throughout the territory of the European Union.
Article 24 of the GDPR sets the obligation of accountability of the controller to implement appropriate data protection policies to ensure and to be able to demonstrate that processing is performed in accordance with that regulation.
One of the basic obligations of the controller is the training of staff involved in processing operations and awareness-raising of the staff in the importance and necessity to obey the regulation.
Based on these assessments, and aware of how important it is for the staff to know the current regulation in relation to data protection, this internal regulation for data protection has been approved as mandatory for every employee.
Scope of application
The present policy applies to BOOMERANG TV, S.A. (hereunder, BOOMERANG TV).
Compliance
The compliance with the present policy is mandatory for all departments and employees of BOOMERANG TV and affects personal data processed both via electronic media or paper.

Right to rectification which will grant the data subject the right to obtain from the controller without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject shall have the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement.
Right to erasure ('right to be forgotten') which grants the data subject the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay and the controller shall have the obligation to erase personal data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies:

- a. the accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
- b. the processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of their use instead;
- c. the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims;
- d. the data subject has objected to processing based on reasons related to their particular situation, pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.
Right to data portability which will grant the right to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which he or she has provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, where:

Where personal data are processed for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. Moreover, where personal data are processed for scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89 (1) of the GDPR, the data subject, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, shall have the right to object to processing of personal data concerning him or her, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.
The data subject shall have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her or similarly significantly affects him or her.
The aforementioned rights shall be guaranteed and managed in the extent to which they are exercised by the subjects, always taking into account their reach, particularities and limitations.
The attention and management of these rights will be executed according to the internal proceeding via email address: protecciondedatos@boomerangtv.com, to which any employee must therefore notify the existence and reception of any kind of communication received in BOOMERANG TV by interested third parties.
Provision of services by third parties
Where processing is to be carried out on behalf of BOOMERANG TV, only processors providing sufficient guarantees to implement appropriate technical and organisational measures shall be used, in such a manner that processing will meet the requirements of the GDPR and ensure the protection of the rights of the data subject.
The processor shall not engage another processor without prior specific or general written authorisation of the controller. In the case of general written authorisation, the processor shall inform the controller of any intended changes concerning the addition or replacement of other processors, thereby giving the controller the opportunity to object to such changes.
Processing by a processor shall be governed by a contract or other legal act under Union or Member State law, that is binding on the processor with regard to the controller and that sets out the subject-matter and duration of the processing, the nature and purpose of the processing, the type of personal data and categories of data subjects and the obligations and rights of the controller.
That contract or other legal act shall stipulate, in particular, that the processor:
- a. processes the personal data only on documented instructions from BOOMERANG TV, including with regard to transfers of personal data to a third country or an international organisation, unless required to do so by Union or Member State law to which the processor is subject; in such a case, the processor shall inform the controller of that legal requirement before processing, unless that law prohibits such information on important grounds of public interest;
- b. ensures that persons authorised to process the personal data have committed themselves to confidentiality or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality;
- c. takes all measures required relating security of processing pursuant to Article 32 of th GDPR;

- e. taking into account the nature of the processing, assists BOOMERANG TV, by appropriate technical and organisational measures, insofar as this is possible, for the fulfilment of the controller's obligation to respond to requests for exercising the data subject's rights;
- f. assists the controller in ensuring compliance with security obligation, including notification of data breach or security violations to the supervisory authority and to the subject, and will help the prior consultation of the Spanish Data Protection Agency, taking into account the nature of processing and the information available to the processor;
- g. at the choice of BOOMERANG TV, deletes or returns all the personal data to the controller after the end of the provision of services relating to processing, and deletes existing copies unless Union or Member State law requires storage of the personal data;
- h. makes available to BOOMERANG TV all information necessary to demonstrate compliance with the obligations laid down in this Article and allow for and contribute to audits, including inspections, conducted by the controller or another auditor mandated by the controller.
The processing contract referred to in the previous section, will be provided to any requestor by BOOMERANG TV’s Legal Department.
Records of Activities
BOOMERANG TV shall maintain a record of processing activities under its responsibility. That record shall contain all of the following information:
- a. the name and contact details of BOOMERANG TV and, where applicable, the joint controller, the controller's representative and the data protection officer;
- b. the purposes of the processing;
- c. a description of the categories of data subjects;
- d. a description of the categories of personal data;
- e. the categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed including recipients in third countries or international organisations;
- f. the recipients in third countries or international organizations, meaning transfers of personal data to a third country or an international organisation, including the identification of that third country or international organisation and, where appropriate, the documentation of suitable safeguards
- g. where possible, the envisaged time limits for erasure of the different categories of data;
- h. where possible, a general description of the technical and organisational security measures.
Security measures
Personal data should be processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security and confidentiality of the personal data, including for preventing unauthorised access to or use of personal data and the equipment used for the processing.
A personal data breach may, if not addressed in an appropriate and timely manner, result in physical, material or non-material damage to natural persons such as loss of control over their personal data or limitation of their rights, discrimination, identity theft or fraud, financial loss, unauthorised reversal of pseudonymisation, damage to reputation, loss of confidentiality of personal data protected by professional secrecy or any other significant economic or social disadvantage to the natural person concerned.
Data will be processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security of the personal data, including protection against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage, using appropriate technical or organisational measures ('integrity and confidentiality').
Each controller and, where applicable, the controller's representative, shall maintain a record of processing activities carried out by Boomerang. That record shall contain a general description of the technical and organisational security measures referred to in Article 30 of the General Data Protection Regulation.
Taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons, the controller and the processor shall implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, taking into account the risks that are presented by processing, in particular from accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to personal data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed.
The controller and processor shall take steps to ensure that any natural person acting under the authority of the controller or the processor who has access to personal data does not process them except on instructions from the controller, unless he or she is required to do so by Union or Member State law.
In the case of a personal data breach, the controller shall without undue delay and, where feasible, not later than 72 hours after having become aware of it, notify the personal data breach to the supervisory authority competent, unless the processor can prove, in attendance to the principle of accountability, that the personal data breach is unlikely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons. Where the notification to the supervisory authority is not made within 72 hours, it shall be accompanied by reasons for the delay, making it possible to provide information in phases without undue delay.
Moreover, the controller should communicate to the data subject a personal data breach, without undue delay, where that personal data breach is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of the natural person in order to allow him or her to take the necessary precautions. The communication should describe the nature of the personal data breach as well as recommendations for the natural person concerned to mitigate potential adverse effects. Such communications to data subjects should be made as soon as reasonably feasible and in close cooperation with the supervisory authority, respecting guidance provided by it or by other relevant authorities such as law-enforcement authorities. For example, the need to mitigate an immediate risk of damage would call for prompt communication with data subjects whereas the need to implement appropriate measures against continuing or similar personal data breaches may justify more time for communication.
In setting detailed rules concerning the format and procedures applicable to the notification of personal data breaches, due consideration should be given to the circumstances of that breach, including whether or not personal data had been protected by appropriate technical protection measures, effectively limiting the likelihood of identity fraud or other forms of misuse. Moreover, such rules and procedures should take into account the legitimate interests of law-enforcement authorities where early disclosure could unnecessarily hamper the investigation of the circumstances of a personal data breach.
The Company shall make a data protection impact assessment, the processor shall take into account the measures envisaged to address the risks, including safeguards, security measures and mechanisms to ensure the protection of personal data.
Obligation of secrecy
The obligation to keep professional secrecy in relation to personal data and safeguard it is a basic and personal principle for every person taking part in the processing of such data. Such obligations will remain even after ending the relation to the controller or, where applicable, the processor.
Therefore, personal information will not be revealed under any circumstances to any third parties different than the subject, even to relatives of the subject (not even verbally), unless it is stated by law or with the express authorization of the subject.
INTERNATIONAL TRANSFER OF PERSONAL DATA
Any Department with the intention to transfer personal data outside of the European Economic Area will previously consult with BOOMERANG TV’s Legal Department.
Any transfer of personal data which are undergoing processing or are intended for processing after transfer to a third country or to an international organisation shall take place only if the conditions laid down in the GPDR are complied with by BOOMERANG TV and other the controllers and processors involved in the transfer, including for onward transfers of personal data from the third country or an international organisation to another third country or to another international organisation.
Transfers will comply with the following rules:
A transfer of personal data to a third country or an international organisation may take place where the Commission has decided that the third country, a territory or one or more specified sectors within that third country, or the international organisation in question ensures an adequate level of protection. Such a transfer shall not require any specific authorisation.
In the absence of a decision by the Commission, BOOMERANG TV may transfer personal data to a third country or an international organisation only if the controller or processor has provided appropriate safeguards, and on condition that enforceable data subject rights and effective legal remedies for data subjects are available. The appropriate safeguards referred to in the GDPR may be provided for, without requiring any specific authorisation from a supervisory authority, by:
- a. a legally binding and enforceable instrument between public authorities or bodies;
- b. binding corporate rules approved by the supervisory authority in accordance with the consistency mechanism set out in Article 63 of the GDPR.
- c. standard data protection clauses adopted by the Commission in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 93(2) of the GDPR;
- d. standard data protection clauses adopted by a supervisory authority and approved by the Commission pursuant to the examination procedure referred to in Article 93(2) of the GDPR;
- e. an approved code of conduct pursuant to Article 40 of the GDPR together with binding and enforceable commitments of the controller or processor in the third country to apply the appropriate safeguards, including as regards data subjects' rights; or
- f. an approved certification mechanism pursuant to Article 42 of the GDPR together with binding and enforceable commitments of the controller or processor in the third country to apply the appropriate safeguards, including as regards data subjects' rights.
Moreover, BOOMERANG TV may provide the appropriate safeguards subject to the authorisation from the competent supervisory authority, by:
- a. contractual clauses between the controller or processor and the controller, processor or the recipient of the personal data in the third country or international organisation; or
- b. provisions to be inserted into administrative arrangements between public authorities or bodies which include enforceable and effective data subject rights.
In the absence of an adequacy decision of the Commission, or of appropriate safeguards, including binding corporate rules, a transfer or a set of transfers of personal data to a third country or an international organisation by BOOMERANG TV shall take place only on one of the following conditions:
- a. the data subject has explicitly consented to the proposed transfer, after having been informed of the possible risks of such transfers for the data subject due to the absence of an adequacy decision and appropriate safeguards;
- b. the transfer is necessary for the performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller or the implementation of pre-contractual measures taken at the data subject's request;
- c. the transfer is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract concluded in the interest of the data subject between the controller and another natural or legal person;
- d. the transfer is necessary for important reasons of public interest;
- e. the transfer is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims;
- f. the transfer is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of other persons, where the data subject is physically or legally incapable of giving consent;
- g. the transfer is made from a register which according to Union or Member State law is intended to provide information to the public and which is open to consultation either by the public in general or by any person who can demonstrate a legitimate interest, but only to the extent that the conditions laid down by Union or Member State law for consultation are fulfilled in the particular case.
Where a transfer could not be based on an act or a decision by the Commission or appropriate safeguards, including the provisions on binding corporate rules, and none of the derogations for a specific situation referred to in the previous paragraph is applicable, a transfer by BOOMERANG TV to a third country or an international organisation may take place only under the following conditions:
- a. the transfer is not repetitive;
- b. the transfer concerns only a limited number of data subjects;
- c. the transfer is necessary for the purposes of compelling legitimate interests pursued by BOOMERANG TV which are not overridden by the interests or rights and freedoms of the data subject;
- d. having assessed all the circumstances surrounding the data transfer, BOOMERANG TV has on the basis of that assessment provided suitable safeguards with regard to the protection of personal data.
In these cases, BOOMERANG TV shall inform the supervisory authority of the transfer, and, in addition to providing the information referred to in Articles 13 and 14 of the GDPR, inform the data subject of the transfer and on the compelling legitimate interests pursued.
BOOMERANG TV shall document the assessment as well as the suitable safeguards referred to in the previous paragraphs.
Infractions and fines established in the current regulation
Infringements of the provisions referred to in the GDPR will be sanctioned by the supervisory authority, and be subject to administrative fines up to 10,000,000 EUR depending on the infraction, or in the case of an undertaking, up to 2 % of the total worldwide annual turnover of the preceding financial year, whichever is higher, and administrative fines up to 20,000,000 EUR, or in the case of an undertaking, up to 4 % of the total worldwide annual turnover of the preceding financial year, whichever is higher.
