5. MANDATORY NATURE OF THE DATA
The data requested during the booking process and marked as necessary are essential to contract and provide the service. If the User does not provide such data, DROP&WALK will not be able to manage the booking, send the access code, process the payment or properly handle the request.
Data requested for non-essential purposes, such as commercial communications or certain non-technical cookies, are voluntary and refusal to provide them will not prevent contracting of the service.
6. PAYMENTS THROUGH STRIPE
DROP&WALK uses Stripe as a payment gateway to process online transactions. When making a payment, the User may enter data directly in Stripe’s environment or components. Stripe may process personal and payment data to process the transaction, prevent fraud, comply with legal obligations and provide its payment services in accordance with its contractual and privacy documentation.
DROP&WALK receives from Stripe the information necessary to confirm the transaction, link it to the booking, manage refunds or handle payment incidents. DROP&WALK does not receive or store the full card number or CVV/CVC code.
Where Stripe acts as a processor or as an independent controller for certain processing activities, the safeguards provided by data protection regulations and the corresponding data processing agreements shall apply.
7. CUSTOMER SUPPORT BY EMAIL, TELEPHONE AND WHATSAPP BUSINESS
DROP&WALK may handle enquiries and incidents by email, telephone, WhatsApp Business or other enabled channels. If the User contacts DROP&WALK via WhatsApp, the User accepts that the communication is carried out through that platform, which may process data in accordance with its own terms and privacy policy.
To protect the security of the booking and prevent unauthorized access, DROP&WALK may request verification data from the User, such as booking number, email used, name and city of booking. DROP&WALK will not request unnecessary data and will not recommend sharing access codes or sensitive information unless strictly necessary to resolve a specific incident securely.
8. VIDEO SURVEILLANCE ON THE PREMISES
DROP&WALK facilities may be video monitored for security, access control, damage prevention, protection of users, property and facilities, and incident management.
Images will be processed by DROP&WALK as data controller and, where applicable, by security or maintenance providers acting under documented instructions. Images will only be communicated to public authorities, courts, law enforcement bodies, insurers, advisers or legitimate third parties where necessary to investigate incidents, comply with legal obligations or defend rights.
As a general rule, images will be kept for a maximum period of 1 month from capture. They may be kept for a longer period when necessary to prove facts affecting the integrity of persons, goods or facilities, manage complaints, respond to requests from authorities or defend legal liabilities.
The User may exercise data protection rights regarding images by writing to info@dropandwalk.com, indicating the date, approximate time, premises and any information that allows the images to be located. In some cases, the exercise of rights may be limited when it affects third-party rights, security or ongoing investigations.
9. COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES
The website www.dropandwalk.com uses cookies and similar technologies. Some cookies are necessary to enable browsing, maintain security, remember technical preferences or manage the booking process. Other cookies, such as analytics, advertising or third-party cookies, will only be installed when the User gives consent, unless they are exempt under applicable law.
The User may accept, reject or configure non-essential cookies through the settings panel available on the website. Detailed information on the types of cookies, purposes, duration, third-party providers and how to withdraw consent must be available in a separate Cookie Policy.
10. RECIPIENTS AND PROVIDERS

11. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS
Some technology providers used by DROP&WALK or by its service providers may be located outside the European Economic Area or process data from third countries. In such cases, DROP&WALK will seek to ensure that transfers are made with appropriate safeguards under the GDPR, such as adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission, binding corporate rules or other legally recognized mechanisms.
For services such as Stripe, WhatsApp Business, email providers, hosting, analytics or technology tools, the User should note that their own privacy policies and international transfer mechanisms may also apply.
12. RETENTION PERIODS

- The User also has the right to lodge a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency, especially if they consider that DROP&WALK has not properly addressed their rights.
14. MINORS
DROP&WALK’s service is mainly intended for persons of legal age or users with sufficient legal capacity to contract. If a minor uses the service, they must do so with the authorization and supervision of their parents, guardians or legal representatives where necessary.
In Spain, processing based on the consent of a minor may be based on the minor’s own consent only when they are over 14 years of age, unless the law requires the assistance of the holders of parental authority or guardianship. For minors under 14 years of age, consent must be given by the holder of parental authority or guardianship when processing is based on consent.
15. SECURITY MEASURES
DROP&WALK will apply reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against loss, misuse, unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure or destruction. These measures may include access control, permission limitation, authentication systems, activity logs, encryption or equivalent measures where appropriate, backups, incident response protocols and selection of providers with appropriate guarantees.
However, no system is completely infallible. The User must cooperate by keeping their personal access code confidential, avoiding sharing it with third parties and immediately reporting any suspicion of improper use.
16. COMMERCIAL COMMUNICATIONS
DROP&WALK will only send commercial communications, promotions or news where there is a valid legal basis, such as the User’s consent or a prior contractual relationship under legally permitted terms. The User may object to receiving commercial communications at any time by using the unsubscribe mechanism included in the communication or by writing to info@dropandwalk.com.
Communications necessary for the provision of the service, such as booking confirmations, access codes, operational notices, incidents, additional charges or essential service information, are not considered commercial communications and may be sent while necessary to perform the contract.
17. THIRD-PARTY LINKS AND SOCIAL NETWORKS
DROP&WALK’s website may include links to websites, maps, social networks, payment platforms, booking tools or other third-party services. DROP&WALK does not control the privacy policies of such third parties and recommends that the User review them before providing personal data or using their services.
18. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY
DROP&WALK may amend this Privacy Policy to adapt it to legal, technical, operational or commercial changes. Where changes are relevant, DROP&WALK will endeavor to inform the User through the website or other reasonable means.
