9) Intellectual and industrial property
For the purposes of these rules, all information or intellectual creation of any kind included in their applications will be considered content provided by participants.
Participants guarantee that they have all intellectual and industrial property rights over the content provided and that they have the appropriate authorizations to be able to submit the work to the 5th Nursing and Physiotherapy Short Film Festival ‘Hygeia Awards’ and will be liable to any third party for the exploitation of such rights, exonerating FUDEN and Enfermería en Desarrollo from any liability.
The authors of the works grant the competition organization the rights to exploit these works, consisting of the reproduction and exhibition of the short film within the general framework of this competition, in any of its editions, as well as for advertising or promotion purposes, which will always be exercised with the recognition of their status as author, unless expressly stated otherwise.
The works presented will form part of the documentary archive of Enfermería en Desarrollo. In addition, Fuden reserves the right to publish the works presented on any of its corporate websites.
Likewise, the acceptance of these Rules authorizes Fuden and Enfermería en Desarrollo to reproduce, distribute and make available to the public the works presented and the winners of each category, due to their interest for the nursing profession and contribution to the dissemination of nursing values, always without commercial purposes.
In any case, this transfer does not constitute a transfer of ownership of the intellectual property rights, but rather authorises Fuden and Enfermería en Desarrollo exclusively to exercise the rights agreed in these Rules.
In any case, the candidate may revoke the authorisation for publication, by formally notifying Enfermería en Desarrollo in writing. Such revocation will not prejudice the development of the Nursing and Physiotherapy Short Film Festival ‘Hygeia Awards’, 5th Edition.
Data protection
The personal data of both the candidates submitted and those attending and invited to the awards ceremony, if held, will be processed by Fuden, as the data controller, for the proper development of the call, decision, delivery and dissemination of the Nursing and Physiotherapy Short Film Festival ‘Hygeia Awards’, 5th Edition.
The processing activities include all those related to the admission of applications and the awarding of prizes, as well as those related to the promotion, organization and dissemination of the same, including the organization
tion of the awards ceremony.
The personal data provided by participants through the email address concursocortos@fuden.es will be used for the sole purpose of processing any queries raised and carrying out any management related to the development of the festival.
Fuden and Enfermería en Desarrollo may subsequently process the contact details of participants, attendees and guests at the awards ceremony to send, where appropriate, information related to subsequent editions of the Competition, as well as other activities related to the dissemination of nursing values. Likewise, Fuden and Enfermería en Desarrollo (ED) may process the data from the Nursing and Physiotherapy Short Film Festival ‘Hygeia Awards’ 5th Edition, for statistical purposes, always after applying anonymization or pseudonymization techniques.
When the data has not been obtained directly from the data subject, the duty of information and transparency will be fulfilled by informing the interested party in the terms established in article 14 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 General Data Protection.
The legal bases for legitimizing the processing activities in relation to the specific, explicit and legitimate purposes indicated are: a) compliance with a legal obligation applicable to the data controller, b) execution of a contract (derived from the acceptance of the bases that govern the call for the Nursing and Physiotherapy Short Film Festival ‘Hygeia Awards’ 5th Edition, c) satisfaction of legitimate interests pursued by the data controller or by a third party (promotion of nursing values), and d) consent of the interested party.
Failure to provide the data requested in the call for applications, necessary for the validation of the submitted applications, or any other data necessary for the organisation and development of the awards ceremony, will prevent participation in the activity.
The data will be kept for the time necessary to fulfil the purposes for which they are collected and processed, as well as to determine the possible responsibilities that may arise from said purposes and the processing of the data.
Data communications are not planned, except under legal obligation.
The owners of personal data may revoke their consent for the processing of their data or oppose it, as the case may be, without affecting the legality of the prior processing.
Likewise, they may exercise the rest of the rights recognized to them by current regulations on the protection of personal data according to specific information provided by the data controller in the section Rights over your personal data that can be found at https://www.fuden.es/politica-de-proteccion-de-datos/, by sending an email to equipo-dpd@fuden.es. Alternatively, they may also contact the Data Protection Officer at privacidad-dpd@fuden.es, or, if they consider that their right to data protection has been violated, file a claim with the Spanish Data Protection Agency.
Since the participants in the Contest may be minors, consent for the processing of data for the purpose provided here corresponds, according to Organic Law 3/2018, of December 5, on the Protection of Personal Data and Guarantee of Digital Rights, to their parents, guardians or legal representatives. For this reason, certain data is requested from the person acting on behalf of the minor. The minor's representatives may revoke the consent granted in this document at any time, by communicating it in writing in the terms set out in the previous paragraph.
The data protection policy can be consulted on the Fuden and “Enfermería en Desarrollo” websites.
10) Assignment of image
Each participant consents to the use of his or her voice and image, obtained either through interviews, reports, or any other means, for promotional use and dissemination of the 5th Edition of the Nursing and Physiotherapy Short Film Festival ‘Hygeia Awards’, in any of Fuden's media and specifically in Enfermería en Desarrollo and social networks, without such use conferring any right to financial compensation.
As already provided for in section 3 - Who can participate - of these rules, Fuden foresees the participation of minors in the works presented to the 5th Nursing and Physiotherapy Short Film Festival ‘Hygeia Awards’. Therefore, as a guarantee of the right to honor, personal and family privacy, and the image of minors, it will be essential that parents or legal guardians sign and send along with the registration the authorization attached as an Annex to these
bases. The lack of this authorization, or its deficient content will result in the disqualification of the participant.
In any case, Fuden guarantees that the dissemination of the event and the use of the images will not constitute an illegitimate intrusion into their privacy, honor or reputation, nor will it be contrary to their interests.
11) General issues and acceptance of the bases
The organization of the contest reserves the right to exclude all those works whose content is obscene, violent, sexist, racist or violates any fundamental right of the person, or that contravenes the participation requirements established in section 4 of these bases, especially those related to originality and/or third party rights.
Participants are responsible for ensuring that there are no third party rights for the use of musical pieces in the submitted works, nor any claim for image rights of the people who appear in them, as well as that the shorts submitted are not subject to any legal claim and are within the provisions of the intellectual property law, exempting the Organisation from any type of responsibility.
Any unforeseen eventuality arising in relation to the development of the Nursing and Physiotherapy Short Film Festival ‘Hygeia Awards’ 5th Edition and not expressly contemplated in these rules, will be resolved according to the criteria of the organisation. Likewise, the organisation is not responsible for the poor or non-reception of the materials.
Participation in the Nursing and Physiotherapy Short Film Festival ‘Hygeia Awards’ 5th Edition implies knowledge and full acceptance of the rules by the participants and their representatives.
The competition organisers reserve the right to modify the rules at any time when circumstances so require. The modification will be announced to the participants and will come into effect from the date of its announcement, without them being able to make any claim to Enfermería en Desarrollo for this fact. Any statement to the contrary by the participant will result in his/her exclusion from the competition, and Enfermería en Desarrollo will be released from the fulfilment of any obligation contracted with said participant.
These Rules will be available at all times on the website enfermeriaendesarrollo.es.
13) Applicable law and jurisdiction
The interpretation and compliance with these Rules will be governed by the provisions of their clauses and, in the event of any unforeseen circumstances, by the provisions of current Spanish legislation that is applicable. In this regard, for the resolution of any dispute that may arise from these participation rules or from the celebration or result of the 5th Edition of the Nursing and Physiotherapy Short Film Festival ‘Hygeia Awards’, the participants, expressly waiving any jurisdiction that may apply to them, submit to the jurisdiction of the Courts and Tribunals of the city of Madrid.
