The personal data processed by ECIT may be mandatory or voluntary. Voluntary information is that which you are not obliged to provide.

What is the legal basis for the processing of your data?

The lawfulness of the processing of your data by ECIT is generally based on the need to comply with a legal obligation (article 6.1.c GDPR), on the fulfilment of a mission carried out in the public interest or on the exercise of public powers conferred on ECIT (article 6.1.e GDPR) on the basis of regional, national or European Union legislation.

The basic national and regional legislation that justifies the lawfulness of the processing of personal data, and which is complemented by that indicated in each of the proceedings or services, is that detailed below:

  • Law 7/1985, of 2 April, Regulating the Bases of the Local Regime
  • Royal Decree 2568/1986, of 28 November, approving the Regulations on the Organisation, Functioning and Legal System of Local Entities
  • Organic Law 10/1982 of 10 August on the Statute of Autonomy of the Canary Islands.

When the processing by ECIT is based on consent, the citizen may revoke the consent at any time.

In other cases, the performance of a pre-contract/contract will legitimise the processing of data by ECIT, e.g. in the case of the processing of data of our suppliers and service providers (Article 6.1.b).

In any case, the determination of the lawfulness for the processing of data is specified in the information clauses corresponding to each proceeding or service.
