Go to the section Cookie Declaration on https://www.cemexventures.com/cookie-declaration/ for detailed information about cookies used. You can change or withdraw your consent at any moment on the aforementioned section.

In addition, you can set your browser to refuse all or any of cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies. If you disable or refuse cookies, you should be aware that some parts of this website may become inaccessible or not function properly.

PERSONAL DATA COLLECTED FROM YOU RELATING TO OTHER INDIVIDUALS

In the course of our relationship with you, you may provide us with personal data of individuals who are not aware of our involvement or the processing of their personal data. In such situations, you represent that you have their consent, as well as having informed them about the content of this privacy policy. You exempt CEMEX VENTURES from any liability in this regard.

  1. DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL DATA

Your personal data may be shared with other persons or entities for the purposes described in this privacy policy.

  • Other CEMEX Group companies for administrative, internal management and storage purposes and processing, and also other data processors, based on the need for technical and technological data processing efficiency in managing the business, and also for data storage and processing.

 

  • Professional advisers and other service providers including lawyers, bankers, auditors, insurers who provide consultancy, banking, legal, insurance and accounting services, necessary for the proper operation of the business.
  • The entities participating in the Construction Startup Competition and LeapLab Accelerator programs, or any other event promoted by CEMEX VENTURES. These assignments are necessary for the proper development of the competition, program or event and/or the execution of the business relationship between CEMEX VENTURES and the data subject.
  • Public authorities, courts and other institutions (i) requiring information in accordance with the law, or (ii) to protect the rights, property, or safety of CEMEX VENTURES, other CEMEX Group companies, or others.
  • Persons or entities to or from or with which parts of the business or assets may be acquired or sold, transferred or merged, or corporate merger agreements are negotiated. In those cases, if there is a change in the business, the new owners may use your personal data in the same way established in this privacy policy.

These data processors may be based both within the territory of the European Union and outside the same, but these international transfers shall always be made ensuring compliance with applicable European Union and Spanish laws, and under appropriate security conditions for the data to be protected.

CEMEX VENTURES requires that all third parties observe personal data security and process data in accordance with the law. External service providers are not allowed to use personal data for their own purposes, and they are only allowed to process personal data for specific purposes and in accordance with its instructions.

  1. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

Your personal data may be shared within the CEMEX Group. This will involve transferring the data outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Also, many of CEMEX VENTURES’ external third parties are based outside the European Economic Area (EEA), and the processing of personal data may therefore involve a transfer of data outside the EEA.

Whenever personal data is transferred outside the EEA, CEMEX VENTURES ensures a degree of protection is afforded similar to the protection existing under European and Spanish laws, ensuring at least one of the following safeguards are implemented:

  • Personal data is only transferred to countries which the European Commission considers afford an appropriate level of protection for personal data;
  • Where certain service providers are used, contracts with clauses expressly approved by the European Commission may be used considering that they give personal data the same protection it has in Europe.

Please contact us if you would like more information about the specific mechanism used by CEMEX VENTURES when transferring your personal data outside the EEA.

  1. DATA SECURITY

CEMEX VENTURES has put in place appropriate security measures to prevent personal data from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorised way, or altered or disclosed. In addition, access to personal data is limited to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know the data. They will only process your personal data on the instructions of CEMEX VENTURES and will be subject to a confidentiality duty.

CEMEX VENTURES has put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and any such breach will be notified to you and the Spanish Data Protection Agency, in accordance with the law, as the case may be.

  1. DATA RETENTION

HOW LONG WILL PERSONAL DATA BE USED FOR?

CEMEX VENTURES will only retain personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, and to comply with legal, accounting or mandatory reporting requirements.

In order to determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, regard is had to the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of the personal data, the purposes for which the data is processed and whether those purposes can be achieved through other means and the applicable legal requirements.

  1. LEGAL RIGHTS

In accordance with the European laws for the time being in force, data subjects have the following rights:

  • Right to request access to their personal data to know what type of data is being processed and the purposes for which processing is required.
  • Right to request rectification or erasure of the data where it is inaccurate or incomplete or it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. Please note that we may be legally entitled to retain and process your data to comply with a legal obligation.
  • Right to request restriction of processing in the events provided for by law when:

(a) the request is made in order to check that the data is accurate;

(b) the use of the data is unlawful, but the data subject does not wish to have it erased, but requests restriction of use;

(c) a request is made for the data to be held because it is needed to exercise or defend legal claims, even if it is no longer necessary to process the same; or

(d) you have objected to use of the data but the data is needed to verify whether there are legitimate grounds to use it.

  • Right to object the processing of data for a specific purpose, in certain circumstances provided by law and related to your personal situation.
  • Right to data portability, including the right to request a copy of the data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.
  • Right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing of their data.

If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, you may write to CEMEX VENTURES ESPAÑA, S.L.U., Calle Hernández de Tejada, 1, 28027 Madrid, specifying “Data Protection”, or contact us at the following email address: privacy_spain@cemex.com.

You may be asked to provide additional information to confirm your identity and guarantee your right to access your personal data or to exercise any of your other rights. This is a security measure to guarantee that personal data is not disclosed to anyone who has no right to receive it.

TIME LIMIT TO RESPOND

CEMEX VENTURES will endeavour to respond to all legitimate requests within the shortest possible space of time, estimated at one month, and in any case without undue delays.

CHANGES TO THE PRIVACY POLICY

CEMEX VENTURES reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time. CEMEX VENTURES encourages you to periodically review this Privacy Policy to always be aware of the processing of your personal data by CEMEX VENTURES.
