Spanish term (edited): a menos que se le cause algún perjuicio

Hi Lisa,

From personal experience managing organisation-wide network security in the UK, I believe this is what they’re (rather confusingly) trying to say here. Dunno why you’re calling “titular” “company”, but they’re essentially saying that the company cannot collect personal info on you when you browse their site – unless a security threat is detected via your connection. In other words, they cannot freely mine your data for their own purposes.

I’m not offering any sort of literal translation here, but this is the sort of language I would expect to see in this context in English:

“Sin perjuicio de que la Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (en adelante, AGPD) considera la IP como dato de carácter personal, el Titular no puede obtener por si sólo, ni tiene intención de hacerlo a menos que se le cause algún perjuicio, información alguna acerca del titular de la conexión a Internet a la que corresponde.”

“Notwithstanding the fact that IP addresses are considered personal data by the Spanish Data Protection Agency (hereinafter AGPD), the Company cannot and will not freely obtain any information about the owner of a given Internet connection, unless this connection poses any sort of security threat to it.”

********************

The "to it" is optional, but I think it makes it that bit clearer.

Hope this helps :)

You're welcome, Lisa :) I think you should stick with "Company". I've often come across this, when they say "(hereinafter 'the Company')", and then go on to refer to it in a hundred different ways! I'd do exactly the same if it was me. It makes for a more consistent translation in my books.
