The body responsible for such processing is the University of Santiago de Compostela with registered office at Praza do Obradoiro s/n, 15782, Santiago de Compostela.

Los datos serán conservados durante el período en el que se realice la finalidad para la que fueron recogidos, o el tiempo necesario para cumplir con las obligaciones legales. Cumplida la finalidad, los datos que no formen parte de la prestación del servicio público se bloquearán hasta que transcurran los plazos de prescripción aplicables.

The data will be kept for the period necessary to fulfil the purpose for which they were collected, or as long as required to comply with legal obligations. Once the purpose has been fulfilled, data not required for the provision of public service will be blocked until the applicable statutory limitation periods have elapsed.

Surveys and questionnaires. Research surveys are defined as the processes employing questionnaires administered to respondents. The data collected through surveys undergoes statistical analysis to draw meaningful research conclusions.

Organic Law 3/2018, of 5 December, on the Protection of Personal Data and the Guarantee of Digital Rights makes it compulsory to comply with a series of requirements in order to collect data or opinions from third parties.

For surveys collecting personal data that could identify participants, explicit respondent consent must be obtained. This can be easily implemented by including an introductory question explaining the type of data that will be collected and what it will be used for. Participants who consent may proceed with the survey, while non-consenting respondents may be redirected to the end of the questionnaire with an acknowledgment of their time.

Anonymous surveys containing no personal data fall outside the scope of EU Data Protection Regulation 2016/679

In case of processing personal data of respondents, all requirements contained in the EU Regulation 2016/679 and the Organic Law 3/2018 on Data Protection must be complied with.
