Privacy Policy

SEAS, Estudios Superiores Abiertos S.A.U., was founded in 2003 with the purpose of being a leading provider of distance learning. We are part of the San Valero Group, which is dedicated to training, and in line with our Code of Ethics, we place great value on honesty and transparency. With our students, clients, employees and partners, we aim to build solid, long-lasting relations based on trust and mutual interest.

Pursuant to this philosophy, the protection of your personal data is very important to us, which is why through this Personal Data Protection Policy (hereinafter, 'Privacy Policy') we would like to explain how we collect and process this data.

SEAS Estudios Superiores Abiertos S.A.U.: SEAS Estudios Abiertos is fostering a European project to bring training and employment to areas with a low population density, known as 'Rural Needs & Mobile-Learning'. This was approved by the European Union within the framework of the ERASMUS+ programme (KA2 for development of innovation). This European project seeks to generate an intervention model that tackles specific problems detected within rural areas in Europe with a low population density. These are also characterised by ongoing ageing among the inhabitants and a lack of outreach services or trained professionals in the surrounding areas (Hereinafter, Rural Needs Project).

This Privacy Policy lays out the bases on which SEAS Estudios Superiores Abiertos S.A.U.
