Terms of use

Registration process
Registration is necessary for interaction with the Portal, which grants "registered user" permissions. The first condition to access the portal as a "registered user" is to be at least 18 years old. Otherwise a non-automatic registration must be requested by email to the managing body to: turismo@lepe.es. A paternal authorization will be requested or, if applicable, an express authorization of a legal guardian or holder of the custody of the child, of legal age. Persons under 18 are therefore prohibited to register as Users, unless expressly authorized in writing by the legal guardian of the underage user.
Online registration in the Portal
Users of legal age can register online in the portal itself by completing the following basic registration fields: User name, email address and a captcha (to avoid internet robots).
After this form is submitted, the system will send an email to the address indicated with instructions and a link to complete the registration process. After accepting access from this email, you will be directed to the advanced registration form where you will be required to set up a password for your account (mandatory). Once the password has been set up, you can visit your personal profile at any time and complete it (not mandatory), by adding more information such as province, town, etc. These data may be used for statistical purposes by Lepe Town Council.
This type of registration is subject to the legal regulations regarding the maintenance of personal data (LOPD RD 1720/2007 21 December). In accordance with this regulation, the website’s managing body helps you know your rights in the section below, "Privacy Policy".
