Respecting your privacy and complying with data protection regulations are vitally important to all the companies in Correos Group.

We want you to know why we are using, or want to use, your data, and what your rights are, at all times. For that reason, we have drafted the following Data Protection terms and conditions (“Website Privacy Policy”) to regulate the data processing that will be carried out when any User browses our website www.correos.es, any of its sub-domains, or any other Correos website that shows this Privacy Policy in the footer.

This Web Privacy Policy may be subject to change to adapt it to future legislative or jurisprudential developments or industry practices. In any case, the processing of user data will be regulated by the Data Protection Policy in force at the time of the browsing.

 

1. Who will process your data?

The data controller is “Sociedad Estatal Correos y Telégrafos, S.A., S.M.E” (“Correos”), with Spanish Tax ID No. A-83052407 and registered address at Vía Dublín no. 7 (Campo de las Naciones) 28070 Madrid (Spain).

Browsing our website does not require prior registration. However, when you visit our website, it is standard for our web servers to store information like the IP address and domain from which you are accessing it, the date and time of the visit, etc. 

On the other hand, certain features of our website require you to provide additional information through forms (e.g. your name and surname, postal or email address, telephone number, etc.).

In general, we do not intend to communicate your data to people outside Correos. However, the following exceptions may occur:

• To comply with the law, we may be required to share your data with third parties such as public authorities (e.g. law enforcement) or courts.
• To provide you with the best service for browsing our website and to process your request, we may be required to share your data with other companies in the Correos Group that are engaged in package delivery, added-value postal services, logistics, marketing and telecommunications. So, for example, if you request information about multi-channel direct marketing services, your data will be communicated to NEXEA Gestión Documental S.A., S.M.E to process the response.

 

5. How long will your data be processed?

Personal data will be held only for the time necessary to enable your browsing of the website, analyse your browsing (if you accept our cookies policy) or process your service requests through the website. When they are no longer necessary, the data will be deleted in accordance with data protection regulations, meaning that they will be blocked, and only available at the request of judges and courts, the Office of the Public Prosecutor or relevant Public Administrations during the statute of limitations for any related legal actions. Following the block period, they will be fully erased. As an example, the statute of limitations will be 3 years in most cases derived from the data protection regulations. 

In any event, if there are any outstanding legal disputes after the contractual relationship has terminated, the data may be held while the legal proceedings are under way, for evidential purposes only, until the final decision has been made; at that point the data will be blocked and subsequently erased.
