4. Who we share data with
We do not share data with third parties unless required by law, or when necessary for the matter and with the client’s knowledge (courts, authorities, court representatives, mediators or expert witnesses). The providers that supply services to us have access to data as processors: website hosting (Webempresa Europa S.L.U.), email (Microsoft Ireland Operations Ltd., Microsoft 365) and web analytics (Google Ireland Ltd.), among others.
5. International transfers
If users write to us on WhatsApp, their messages are handled by WhatsApp (Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd.), which may transfer data to the United States. The same applies to Google Analytics. Both companies participate in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. If you prefer to avoid this, you can contact us by phone or email.
6. Your rights
You can exercise your rights of access, rectification, erasure, objection, restriction of processing and portability, and withdraw your consent at any time, by writing to gestion@feroxadv.com and stating which right you are exercising (if there is any doubt about your identity, we may ask you to prove it). If you consider that we have not handled your request properly, you can lodge a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency (www.aepd.es).

All information you provide to us is protected by the lawyer’s professional secrecy. We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the data.
