Such information may include:
In addition, Wellow™ may request types of personal data considered “sensitive”:
Providing this type of information will be voluntary unless required by law. If you do not provide it, this will not jeopardise, for example, your employment or training opportunities.
As part of the processing of the data subject’s data, Wellow™ uses or may use third parties, subcontracted by it, to process the data subject’s data on its behalf and in accordance with its instructions, in strict compliance with the provisions of the law and this Privacy Policy.
These data processors may not transmit the data of the data subject to other entities without Wellow™ having previously provided written authorisation to do so, and are also prevented from contracting other entities without authorisation to do so.
Wellow™ undertakes to subcontract only entities that present sufficient guarantees of execution of the appropriate technical and organisational measures, in order to ensure the protection of the rights of the holder.
All data processors are bound by a written contract which regulates, inter alia, the purpose of the processing, the duration of the processing, the nature and purpose of the processing, the type of personal data, the categories of data subjects and the rights and obligations of the parties.
When collecting personal data, Wellow™ shall provide the data subject with information on the categories of data processors who, in the specific case, may process data on behalf of Wellow™.
Wellow™ may collect data directly (i.e., directly from the data subject) or indirectly (i.e., through partner organisations or third parties). The collection can be done through the following channels:
In terms of general principles regarding the processing of personal data, Wellow™ undertakes to ensure that they are:
The data processing carried out by Wellow™ is lawful when at least one of the following situations applies:
Wellow™ undertakes to ensure that the processing of the data subject’s data is only carried out under the conditions listed above and with respect for the principles mentioned above.
Where the processing of your data is carried out by Wellow™ on the basis of your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. The withdrawal of consent, however, does not jeopardise the lawfulness of the processing carried out by Wellow™ on the basis of the consent previously provided by the data subject.
The period of time for which data is stored and retained varies according to the purpose for which the information is processed.
In fact, there are legal requirements that require data to be kept for a minimum period of time. Therefore, and whenever there is no specific legal requirement, the data will be stored and kept only for the minimum period necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or further processed, after which they will be deleted.
In general terms, Wellow™ uses the data subject’s data for various purposes, including billing and collection, for marketing purposes and for human resources management and employee recruitment, among others.
The data collected by Wellow™ is not shared with third parties without the consent of the data subject, with the exception of the situations referred to in the following paragraph. In the event that the data subject contracts with Wellow™ services that are provided by other entities responsible for the processing of personal data, the data of the data subject may be consulted or accessed by these entities, to the extent necessary for the provision of such services.
In accordance with applicable law, Wellow™ may transmit or communicate the data of the data subject to other entities in the event that such transmission or communication is necessary for the performance of the contract established between the data subject and Wellow™ or for pre-contractual steps at the request of the data subject, in the event that it is necessary for the fulfilment of a legal obligation to which Wellow™ is subject or in the event that it is necessary for the purpose of pursuing the legitimate interests of Wellow™ or a third party.
In the event of a transfer of data to a third party, reasonable efforts will be made to ensure that the recipient uses the data in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy.
In order to guarantee the data security and maximum confidentiality, Wellow™ processes the information provided by the data subject in an absolutely confidential manner, in accordance with its internal security and confidentiality policies and procedures, which are periodically updated as necessary, as well as in accordance with the terms and conditions provided by law.
Depending on the nature, scope, context and purposes of the data processing, as well as the risks arising from the processing for the rights and freedoms of the data subject, Wellow™ undertakes to apply, both at the time of defining the means of processing and at the time of the processing itself, the necessary and appropriate technical and organisational measures for data protection and compliance with legal requirements.
It also undertakes to ensure that only the data necessary for each specific purpose of processing are processed and that such data are not made available to an indefinite number of persons.
In terms of general measures, Wellow™ takes the following measures:
The personal data collected and used by Wellow™ are not made available to third parties established outside the European Union. If such a transfer takes place in the future, Wellow™ undertakes to ensure that the transfer complies with the applicable legal provisions, in particular as regards the determination of the adequacy of such country with regard to data protection and the requirements applicable to such transfers.
a. Right to Information
The information set out in this document shall be provided in writing (including by electronic means) by Wellow™ to the data subject prior to the processing of the personal data concerned. In accordance with applicable law, Wellow™ has no obligation to provide the data subject with this information when and to the extent that the data subject is presumed to be already aware of it.
The information is provided by Wellow™ free of charge.
b. Right of Access to Personal Data
Wellow™ ensures the means for the data subjects to access their personal data.
The data subject shall have the right to obtain from Wellow™ confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning them are being processed and, if so, the right to access their personal data and the following information:
Upon request, Wellow™ will provide the data subjects, free of charge, with a copy of their data that is being processed. The provision of other copies requested by the data subject may entail administrative costs.
c. Right to Rectification of Personal Data
The data subjects have the right to request the rectification of their personal data at any time and the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of an additional declaration.
In the event of rectification of the data, Wellow™ shall communicate to each recipient to whom the data have been disclosed the rectification thereof, unless such communication proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort for Wellow™.
d. Right to Erasure of Personal Data (“Right to be forgotten”)
The data subjects have the right to obtain from Wellow™ the erasure of their data where one of the following grounds applies:
In accordance with applicable law, Wellow™ is not obliged to erase the data subject’s data to the extent that the processing proves necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which Wellow™ is subject or for the purposes of declaring, exercising or defending a right of Wellow™ in a judicial proceeding.
In the event of deletion of data, Wellow™ shall communicate to each recipient/entity to whom the data have been transmitted the deletion of the data, unless such communication proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort for Wellow™.
If Wellow™ has made the data public and is obliged to erase them under the right to erasure, Wellow™ undertakes to take reasonable steps, including technical measures, taking into account available technology and the costs of their implementation, to inform the persons responsible for the actual processing of the personal data that the data subject has requested them to erase links to, and copies or reproductions of, those personal data..
e. Right to Limitation of Processing of Personal Data
The data subjects have the right to obtain from Wellow™ the restriction of the processing of their data, if one of the following applies (the restriction may consist of inserting a mark on the personal data stored for the purpose of limiting its processing in the future):
When the data subject’s data is subject to limitation, it may, with the exception of conservation, only be processed with the consent of the data subject or for the purposes of declaring, exercising or defending a right in a judicial proceeding, defending the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of public interest legally provided for.
The data subjects who have obtained the restriction of processing of their data in the above cases will be informed by Wellow™ before the restriction of processing is cancelled.
In the event of restriction of processing, Wellow™ shall inform each recipient to whom the data have been disclosed of the restriction of processing, unless such communication proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort for Wellow™.
f. Right to Portability of Personal Data
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to Wellow™ in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and the right to transmit those data to another controller if:
The right of portability does not include inferred data or derived data, i.e. personal data that is generated by Wellow™ as a consequence or result of the analysis of the data being processed.
The data subject has the right to have personal data transmitted directly between controllers, where technically feasible.
g. Right to Object to Processing
You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to processing of personal data concerning you that is based on the exercise of legitimate interests pursued by Wellow™ or where the processing is carried out for purposes other than those for which the personal data were collected, including profiling or where the personal data are processed for statistical purposes.
Wellow™ will cease processing your data unless it has compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims by Wellow™.
Where your data are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of data relating to you for the purposes of such marketing, which includes profiling insofar as it relates to direct marketing. If you object to the processing of your data for the purposes of direct marketing, Wellow™ will cease processing the data for that purpose.
You also have the right not to be subject to any decision taken solely on the basis of automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you, unless the decision:
h. Procedures for the Exercise of Rights by the Data Subject

Wellow™ will respond in writing (including by electronic means) to the data subject’s request within a maximum of one month from receipt of the request, except in cases of particular complexity, where this period may be extended up to two months.
If the requests submitted by the data subject are manifestly unfounded or excessive, in particular because of their repetitive nature, Wellow™ reserves the right to charge administrative costs or refuse to comply with the request.
i. Personal Data Breaches
In the event of a data breach and insofar as such breach is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of the data subject, Wellow™ undertakes to communicate the personal data breach to the data subject concerned without undue delay.
Under the law, communication to the data subject is not required in the following cases:
Contracted employees give their express CONSENT to the recording of calls in which they are involved in the execution of their activities, in particular for the purposes of internal auditing, quality control and possible proof of commercial transaction, of Wellow™ itself or of the respective Client..
