Who I am:
My name is Kate Major of Major Translations, and I’m committed to upholding the trust and confidence of visitors to my website, my clients, colleagues and suppliers. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of personal data I collect, when and why I collect that personal data, how I use it, the limited conditions under which I may disclose it to others, and how I keep it secure.

Visitors to my website are not obliged to provide personal data.
Nevertheless, anyone interested in my services can contact me via the contact information provided, and some personal data has to be collected in order to establish communication.
The legal basis for processing your data is to perform the services you request or to take necessary steps prior to fulfilling that request and complying with legal requirements.
I collect, store and use such personal data for the purposes of issuing a quote or providing translation, editing, revision or subtitling services that you request, or to comply with legal requirements.
I do not use your personal data for marketing purposes.

I hold data on clients, suppliers, collaborators, data processors and potential clients for legitimate interests.

Retention of personal data
Data relating to quotes will be retained for up to six months. In the case of work carried out, I am obliged to retain your personal data for five years to comply with tax obligations. I will delete email communication after five years.
Third party access
If I send a text for revision or editing to a colleague, either that text will be anonymised so that your personal data will not appear, or the colleague will be asked to sign a confidentiality agreement where necessary. They will be advised of their legal obligations in relation to confidentiality and professional secrecy.

Security measures
I take all possible precautionary measures to guarantee that your personal data is safeguarded.
Updates to computers and devices: The equipment used for storing and processing personal data is updated as frequently as possible.
Malware: Anti-virus software is installed on the equipment used for storing and processing personal data to prevent the theft or destruction of this information. This anti-virus software is regularly updated.
Firewall: Firewalls are in place on all devices used for storing or processing personal data, to avoid remote unlawful third-party access.
Backup: Personal data is periodically backed up on a device other than that used on a day-to-day basis. The copy is stored in a secure place, separate from the computer containing the original files, so that personal data can be recovered in the event of loss or damage. Should this backup be done via electronic methods, an encrypted method is used to guarantee the confidentiality of the personal data, in the event of unlawful third-party access.
Technical measures: All electronic systems in use for storing or processing personal information are password protected.

In the event of a security breach of personal data – due to theft or unlawful access, for example – I will notify the Spanish Data Protection Agency within 72 hours of this security breach coming to my attention.
