The UdL shall not accept any liability for the contents, services or products of third parties which can be accessed directly through banners, links, hyperlinks, network or similar from the websites of the UdL, since their inclusion is forbidden without the prior, express and written consent of the UdL.

The UdL reserves the right to make changes to the website, provided that they do not affect the personal data of the users, without prior notice, for the purpose of maintaining its information up to date, adding, modifying, correcting or deleting the contents posted or the design of the portal.

The contents provided by the UdL, in addition to the contents transferred to the Internet through its websites, become a work in the sense of the legislation on intellectual property, and therefore they are protected by the laws and international conventions applicable on this subject.

For use of social media or browsing in web environments, the UdL recommends, following the instructions of the data protection authorities, the implementation of the following actions:

• It is recommended to adequately set up the degree of privacy of the user profile on the social media, in such a way that it is not completely public, but rather the information posted on the profile can only be accessed by those people who have previously been classified by the user as “friends” or “direct contacts”.
• It is recommended to accept as a contact only those people who are known or with whom some previous relationship exists; not to compulsively accept all contact requests which are received and to investigate, if appropriate, the identity of the person who requests contact.
• It is recommended not to post, on the user profile, physical contact information which allows any person to know where you live, work or study daily or the leisure facilities that you visit.
• Users of microblog tools are recommended to take special care in relation to posting information concerning the places where they are located at any given moment.
• It is recommended to use and post only contents for which you have the essential intellectual property rights. Otherwise, the user will be committing a civil wrong protected by the courts.
• Users are recommended to use different usernames and passwords to enter the different social media of which they are members.
• It is recommended to use passwords with a minimum length of 8 alphanumeric characters and with the use of capitals and lowercase letters.
• All users are recommended to have duly updated antivirus software installed on their hardware.
