As for the list of these services we offer you, they include:
As a consequence of the services described in the previous points, Rentalia will also send transactional communications regarding the operation of the services or the operation of any other contracted service (these transactional communications will be related to the management and solution of possible technical incidents, notifications in case of modification of the contracting conditions or for the management of any possible claim that you may need to make regarding the hiring of the services).

We will now explain the different circumstances in which we may process your data on the basis of a legitimate interest:
In addition, as part of the provision of the services you have contracted as a Professional Advertiser, Rentalia will also send transactional communications relating to the operation of the services or the operation of any other contracted service.
These processing operations will be carried out on the basis of the legitimate interest of Rentalia and the company you represent, for the sole purpose of managing the contractual relationship we have with you as a Professional Advertiser.
In accordance with the GDPR, we have carried out what is known as a "balancing test". This is an internal analysis to confirm that our legitimate interest does not harm the interests of data subjects in the protection of their personal data. As a conclusion of this test, we understand that BDMI's legitimate interest prevails due to the reciprocal interest that exists between us and the company you represent in ensuring the correct representation and interrelation with a legal entity, in order to be able to properly manage the contractual relationship with it.

In this context, we will also detect fraudulent advertisements based on pre-established parameters (suspicious IP, very low/high prices, location of the property, etc.). If Rentalia detects such advertisements, it will proceed to the application of the corresponding protocol to verify the identity of the advertiser and the reality of the advertisement.
