On occasion, some of the Entity's online information systems may make use of cookies or similar technologies, third-party software libraries, cloud hosting from a given provider, etc. To let you know how the characteristics of such technologies affect or could affect your privacy, a subset of their corresponding policies is linked below:
VI.1.- Cookies:
A "cookie" is a small file that an Internet portal transfers to a computer's hard drive, allowing the server to "remember" specific information about the session. The Entity's portal may use cookies to make it easier to use this portal's dynamic features, and those cookies are linked exclusively to session and language identification. You can decide whether to enable or disable the acceptance or rejection of cookies in your browser, or configure it to warn you before accepting them. If you do not wish to receive cookies, you will still be able to use the website, but you will not be able to use the features that depend on cookies. (more information in the COOKIE POLICY).
VI.2.- Javascript:
Javascript is a language used in building websites to improve the user interface, add interactivity to content, build dynamic web pages and access local browser databases, and it has been used in some parts of this website.
You can block the execution of Javascript code in your browser on the pages you visit. However, please note that if you do so, your experience browsing the information displayed may be impaired in some visual aspects, although not in the general functionality of navigation and content display. For this reason, our recommendation is to keep Javascript execution enabled in order to fully enjoy the user experience that has been developed.
VII.- Changes to this policy
The Entity reserves the right to modify this privacy policy in order to adapt it to legislative or case-law developments, changes in the information security policy, as well as to generally accepted standards and good practice. In such cases, with reasonable notice before they take effect, the Entity will announce the changes introduced on this same page.
VIII.- Third parties
VIII.1.- Service providers:
Your data will never be sold or shared with third parties. However, technological support services may be subcontracted to a third party acting as a service provider. The Entity will guarantee at all times that the service provider is bound by an appropriate agreement in accordance with data protection legislation, and will ensure at all times that your data remains protected at least in accordance with the same standards as this privacy policy.
VIII.2.- Cooperation with the authorities:
The Entity has a direct relationship with the Andalusian Health Service, related entities such as the Hospital Universitario Reina Sofía, the University of Córdoba and other biomedical research and training centres; on this basis it may communicate and/or transfer data, which will be indicated when the data and information are collected.
It must likewise establish relationships with the administrative authorities responsible for regulating personal data protection, in order to resolve any complaint relating to the processing we carry out that we have been unable to resolve directly with you. This entails fulfilling the duty of cooperation, being obliged to provide the Spanish Data Protection Agency and other competent regulatory authorities with the data, reports, background information and supporting documents needed to carry out their investigative work.
In the same spirit of cooperation, and to the extent required by legal compliance, the Entity may disclose the relevant information to the Courts of Justice, the State Security Forces and Corps, as well as other public authorities for the exercise of their official mission (tax and customs authorities, financial investigation units, etc.).
Security and Confidentiality of communications
Communications sent through this application are strictly confidential. It is even possible to submit and process anonymous communications.
The identity of the informant will be kept confidential in all cases and will not be disclosed to the people to whom the reported facts refer, nor to third parties. The informant's identity may only be disclosed to the judicial authority, the Public Prosecutor's Office or the competent administrative authority in the context of a criminal, disciplinary or penalty investigation. Firstly, this website can be accessed from any computer. If a network technician within the organisation were to investigate network traffic, they would not be able to trace you. Even so, the web server hosting the application does not store users' IP addresses.
All information travels encrypted between your browser and the server using the https protocol. If someone intercepts this communication, they will not be able to see its content. This application does not consult external sources to verify the data provided by the informant, nor does it send emails containing sensitive information about reports. Disclosures made under this section will be subject to the safeguards established in the applicable legislation. In particular, the informant will be notified before their identity is disclosed, unless such information could compromise the investigation or the judicial proceedings. When the competent authority notifies the informant, it will send them a written statement explaining the reasons for disclosing the confidential data in question.
Once you send your communication, both it and any files you attach are encrypted using a complex algorithm. They can only be decrypted and read with the digital certificate of authorised persons. Not even the systems administrators who operate the servers can see who is submitting a report or its content. The System Controller will be responsible for its diligent handling, and the procedure will comply with the provisions of Article 9 of Law 2/2023. Likewise, a register will be kept of the information received and of the internal investigations to which it has given rise, guaranteeing in all cases the confidentiality requirements set out in that law.
This register will not be public, and only at the reasoned request of the competent judicial authority, by court order and in the context of judicial proceedings and under its supervision, may the content of that register be accessed in whole or in part.
