2. Data collection: Users, who register their data, will be asked for express consent for their data to be managed and processed by L-NET in those cases where their data is published, and there is no contractual relationship and/or a purpose or public interest to contemplate.

All forms will have a box incorporated for you to provide your acceptance of the conditions in which you provide the information. In this sense, it will serve as your express manifestation of accepting this privacy policy and your consent for L-NET to incorporate and treat the information requested in said form.

The aforementioned uses do not require sharing the data with third parties, except in the following situations:
