4. AUTOMATED DECISIONS AND CREATION OF PROFILES

For some services, we may process your personal data using automated methods. This means that certain decisions are made automatically without human intervention. For example, we may segment you depending on whether you have any interest in certain sports sections of FC BARCELONA, or use our services, such as free Wi-Fi on our premises.

We may also create a profile by analysing your behaviour on the web, showing you products that may be of interest to you, based on the preferences you have shown through your browsing, or information obtained through cookies.

In addition, if you have agreed to receive commercial communications, these may be adapted and customized according to the interests of the users, either based on the products and services requested, or based on the data that we can deduct or obtain from your browsing, interest in certain contents, reaction to our communications, among others.

This personalization is conducted in a partially automated manner, in the sense that the Club determines the parameters of the personalization, but it is the technological platform that generates the user’s profile. We do not send general communications that are not segmented by the previous procedure, since we consider it to be in the interest of both the Club and the users of the Barça Fans program for the information that is sent or received to be relevant, and because not segmenting would not alter the number of communications received by the Barça Fans program, but only the content of the same. In this regard, if any user of the Barça Fans program does not wish to be segmented, we ask them to refrain from subscribing to the Barça Fans program’s communications.
