You have the right to access, rectify, cancel and oppose the handling of your data pursuant to the terms and conditions set out in section 3.
On the other hand, through the registration of the data, the user grants their consent to the handling of said data for the stated purposes.
In cases where it is necessary to fill out and send a form, doing such will necessarily imply that you were informed (pursuant to section 5 of the LOPD), and in said case, granted the corresponding consent (in view of section 6 of the LOPD) to the content in the form’s annexed clause and this privacy policy.
The user must fill out the forms with true, exact, complete and up-to-date information, and in that precise moment they will be informed of the data that is compulsory (*) and the consequences of not giving it. Likewise, when accepting this data, the user acknowledges that the information and personal data gathered are true and exact.
We request that you immediately inform the CITY COUNCIL OF A CORUÑA regarding any change in your personal data, so that the information contained within the municipal files is up-to-date at all times and does not contain errors or outdated information.

The CITY COUNCIL OF A CORUÑA informs you that it has implemented the technical and organisational security measures that are necessary to guarantee the security of your personal data and prevent it from being altered, lost and handled and/or accessed without authorisation, in view of the state of the technology, the nature of the data stored and the risks that they are exposed to, whether through human action or physical or natural influences. All of this is in accordance with that established in section 9 of the LOPD and Royal Decree 1720/2007 of 21 December which approves the Regulation developing Organic Law 15/1993 of 13 December on personal data protection.
Thus, the CITY COUNCIL OF A CORUÑA has established additional measures in order to reinforce the confidentiality and integrity of the information in the organisations, as well as establishing limitations on the use of email when sending data or documents of a confidential nature.
