Descarboniza maintains a directory of sustainable-construction companies and professionals. Part of this information comes from publicly available sources (corporate websites, registers and published environmental declarations) and may include personal data of professionals, such as a contact name. The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest in offering a useful sector directory. If you appear in the directory and wish to rectify your data or object to its inclusion, write to us at hola@descarboniza.es and we will address it.

The platform is not directed at persons under 14 years of age and we do not knowingly collect their data. If we discover that we have processed the data of a minor under that age without the corresponding authorisation, we will delete it.

We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures (encryption in transit, access controls, and providers with recognised security standards) to protect your data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, loss or destruction.

We do not make decisions based solely on automated processing, nor do we create profiles, that produce legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affect you.

We may update this policy. We will publish the version in force on this page and indicate the date of the last update; material changes will be communicated where appropriate.

For any question about this policy or about the processing of your personal data, write to us at hola@descarboniza.es.
