Project Name

Regulation (EU) 679/2016, of 27th April, on the protection of natural persons with regard to
the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (General Data
Protection Regulation or “GDPR”) and Organic Law 3/2018, of 5th December, on the Protection
of Personal Data and guarantee of digital rights (“LOPDGDD”).

16.2 Data Processing Agreement.

Where the execution of the Agreement involves the processing of personal data as a data
processor, the relevant Data Processing Agreement will be signed.

16.3 Processing of signatories´ personal data.

The personal data of the signatories of the present Agreement will be incorporated in files
owned by each of the Parties, created and maintained under their respective responsibility.
These personal data will be processed with the purpose of allowing the development,
maintenance, management and execution of this contractual relationship (the legal basis for
this purpose being both the fulfilment of a contract and the legitimate interest of each of the
Parties in managing their business efficiently); to fulfil their legal obligations, such as those
arising in tax and/or labour matters (the legal basis being the fulfilment of a legal obligation);
as well as, to maintain possible future business relations on the occasion of the activities of the
Parties (in the exercise of a prevailing interest in managing their business effectively); to
ensure compliance with the law in the context of its activity (based on the prevailing interest in
preventing the commission of illegal conduct in the context of its activity) and/or to ensure
access control to its facilities and manage its security (based on the prevailing interest in
ensuring the security of its facilities, workers and property).

This processing shall include both the data provided by the affected parties themselves, as well
as the identification, contact, job position, communications and intervention data in
operations and/or transactions that are obtained in the course of the Agreement's operations
and/or the interaction between both parties by their workers, subcontractors and/or third
parties involved in said operations. The identification of the signatories is a necessary
requirement for the formalization of this Agreement, so if you do not provide such personal
data, the conclusion of this Agreement cannot be carried out.

The signatories undertake to keep their data accurate and up to date so that they can respond
truthfully to their situation.

Each Party may communicate the data to public administrations (the Spanish Tax Agency,
SEPBLAC, etc.) insofar as it is necessary for the fulfilment of their respective legal obligations in
accordance with the regulations in force, and/or to relevant judicial bodies or State Security
Bodies and Forces for the purposes of compelling compliance with the obligations contracted
always within the functions that such authorities are entrusted by Law (on the legal basis of
the fulfilment of such an obligation); or the communication of the data is necessary and/or
appropriate for the interposition, exercise or defense of the legitimate rights and interests of
any of the Parties, in judicial or extrajudicial channels (on the basis of its overriding interest in
the defense of those rights and interests). [They may also transfer them to companies of their
own corporate group for the same purposes as those set out above (based on the legitimate
interest in ensuring efficient management of the group).] [The data will also be communicated
to the Financing Institution or the Contracting Authority of the Project, in order to fulfil their

Consortium Agreement + Data protection 01.02.22 Page 13 of 18


Project Name

obligations under this contractual relationship.] The signatories' personal data may also be
communicated to banks and financial institutions, as well as to companies related to the
management of collections and payments and resolution of incidences, in order to comply
with their obligations under this Agreement (the legal basis being the fulfilment of a contract).

The Parties may also share the signatories’ personal data with their legal advisors,
accountants, companies supporting their computer systems and/or any other data processors
who access the data solely for the purpose of providing a service to the relevant Party. The
legal basis for such processing is the management of the contractual relationship and the
performance of obligations under or arising from this Agreement.

Any of the Parties may assign the data (i) to potential purchasers of any of the Parties or of any
of their assets or business and/or, as the case may be, of the Real Estate; or (ii) to those
companies of the group, entities of any of the Parties or third parties that may be interested in
being subrogated in the present contract, either directly or indirectly; provided that it is
convenient to facilitate such transactions. The legitimate basis of the processing, in these
cases, is the legitimate interest of any of the Parties in guaranteeing the viability of the
operation and, once such operation is completed, on the legal basis of the management of the
new contractual relationship.

The Parties will [not] transfer the data to other companies within the group of each of the
Parties, international offices, suppliers and/or collaborating entities located outside the
European Union and the European Economic Area [, to the states of: [Switzerland], [Canada],
[Argentina], [Guernsey], [Isle of Man], [Jersey], [Faroe Islands], [Andorra], [Israel], [Uruguay],
[New Zealand], [Japan], declared to be of equivalent protection, respectively, by decisions of
the European Commission; [2000/518 CE], [2002/2/CE], [2003/490/CE], [2003/821/CE],
[2004/411/CE], [2008/393/CE], [2010/146/UE], [2010/625/UE], [2011/61/UE], [2012/484/UE],
[2013/65/UE], [of 23 January 2019], and] [to the states of [_________] on the basis of the
standard clauses elaborated in accordance with Decision 2001/497/EC of the European
Commission (as amended by Decision 2004/915/EC of the European Commission)or Decision
2010/87/EU of the European Commission, whichever is applicable, (copies of which can be
obtained through the contact addresses set out below in this same clause); provided that such
processing is necessary for the development, maintenance and performance of this
Agreement, as well as for the management and/or control of the contractual relationship.]
[When transferring personal data pursuant to standard contractual clauses, it will be carried
out a prior assessment of the level of protection afforded in the context of such a transfer,
taking into consideration both the contractual clauses agreed between the controller or
processor established in the European Union and the recipient of the transfer established in
the third country concerned and, as regards any access by the public authorities of that third
country to the personal data transferred, the relevant aspects of the legal system of that third
country, in particular those set out in Article 45 GDPR.] The legal basis for the processing is the
execution of the Agreement and the legitimate interest of each of the Parties in the control
and management of this contractual relationship.

In addition, the Parties shall take the necessary security measures, corresponding to the nature
of the data and the possible risks, and undertake to ensure proper custody of the data for as
long as they remain in their possession.

Personal data will be stored for the duration of the contractual relationship and, thereafter,
until both the periods for which applicable Laws require the data to be kept, and the statutes

the potentially relevant data, have elapsed.

making by [_________________] according to the following logic:
