Most of our services require more data for example for the NIE application including scheduling an appointment in the immigration office. Then we often need your passport / ID number or even a copy of it, date of birth, nationality, address, and any information that would be relefant for the application. When you ask us to help you prepare the documents for the application (NIE, empadronamiento, social security, ….) we need to check the documents before the presentation to make sure, you are not missing anything important in the documentation that will be presented.
We do not ask for more data than what is needed to provide the service to you.
Our lawful basis for data processing is providing the service to you.

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information unless we provide you with advance notice.
Sometimes, people or companies outside Live and Study Barcelona have access to your data. This makes them our processors of data according to GDPR.
This can be something as basic as keeping your data in a table in Google Sheets (this makes Google LLC the processor of your data) or sharing your data with our partner companies for example for further legal advise.
