3.4. DARWIN profiles on social networks.

DARWIN has a profile on the main social networks, such as X, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok or YouTube.

When you become a follower of one of our pages on social networks, the processing of the data will be governed by the conditions of use, privacy policies and access regulations that belong to the corresponding social network and previously accepted by the user.

In this sense, DARWIN will process your data for the purposes of correctly managing its presence on the social network, informing you of activities, products or services, as well as for any other purpose that the regulations of the social networks allow.

Please note that we have no influence on the information that the social network collects or how it processes it, so we recommend that you keep yourself informed of the purpose and scope of the collection of information that is carried out through said social networks.

4. TO WHOM DO WE TRANSFER YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

DARWIN will not generally share your data with third parties. However, in addition to the transfers that we specifically indicate in the section in which we explain the characteristics of the different operations (point 3), we inform you of the communications that we can make, in general, and that affect all the previous treatments and their legitimate basis.

i. Providers of essential services to execute the service we offer you (for example, computer hosting companies or platforms for sending commercial communications). Notwithstanding the foregoing, these entities have signed the corresponding confidentiality agreements and will only process your data according to our instructions, and may not use them for their own purposes or other than the service they provide to us.

ii. Public Bodies. We may disclose to the competent public authorities the data and any other information that is in our possession or that is accessible through our systems when there is a legal obligation to do so, as well as when required, for example, when the purpose is to prevent or pursue abuses of the services or fraudulent activities through our Website or web page. In these cases, the personal data that you provide to us will be kept and made available to the administrative or judicial authorities.

iii. In the event of a corporate transaction: In the event of a merger, acquisition, sale of all or part of its assets or any other type of corporate transaction involving a third party, we may share, disclose or transfer user data to the successor entity (including during the pre-transaction phase).

iv. To third parties after aggregation or anonymization: We may disclose or use aggregated or anonymized data (i.e. data that is not linkable to an identified or identifiable natural person) for any purpose.

v. To third parties with the user’s consent or other legitimate basis: In the event that we wish to share data with third parties outside the scope of this Privacy Policy, your consent will be requested in all cases or you will be informed about it and its legitimate basis.

We also inform you that this Privacy Policy only refers to the collection, processing and use of information (relating to personal data) by us through your interaction with our Website. Access to third-party websites that you can access through links from the Website have their own privacy policies over which we have no control. Therefore, before providing them with any personal information, we recommend that you inform yourself about their Privacy Policies.

5. ARE YOUR PERSONAL DATA TRANSFERRED TO THIRD COUNTRIES OUTSIDE THE ECONOMIC AREA?

Some of our service providers are located in countries outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”).

The location of these companies outside the EEA implies the existence of an international transfer of your personal data, which could entail a lower level of protection than that provided for in European regulations. However, at DARWIN we have implemented measures so that such transfers do not result in a lower level of protection for your personal data.

In this regard, service providers located outside the EEA have a valid mechanism to be able to carry out international transfers: (i) either they are located in a country or territory that has been declared to have an adequate level of protection by the European Commission, in the case of US companies they may be certified by the Decision of adequacy to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF); or (ii) have signed the corresponding standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission (“SCC”), an agreement signed by both entities by which the non-EU company guarantees that it applies European data protection standards.

Therefore, the use of these providers does not give rise to a lower degree of protection of your personal data than that which would result from the use of providers located in the European Union.

You can consult the content of the SCC and the Decision on compliance with the EU-US Data Privacy Framework at the following links:

• https://commission.europa.eu/publications/standard-contractual-clauses-controllers-and-processors-eueea_en
• https://commission.europa.eu/document/fa09cbad-dd7d-4684-ae60-be03fcb0fddf_en

Below we indicate the international transfers that we carry out from DARWIN:
