Impactful Policy Frameworks
Ley por el Derecho a la Vivienda (Housing Law) 2023
This law, passed in 2023, introduces measures to limit rent increases in stress areas, defines large landlords, and provides mechanisms for social housing, impacting both landlords and tenants.
This law will directly affect rental property listings and pricing strategies on property.blue, particularly in designated 'stressed' areas.
Ley de Servicios de la Sociedad de la Información y de Comercio Electrónico (LSSI-CE) (Information Society Services and E-Commerce Law) 2002 (with subsequent updates)
While not new, the LSSI-CE continues to be highly relevant, regulating online services, e-commerce, and digital advertising, including requirements for data protection and transparency for platforms operating in Spain.
This policy mandates property.blue to ensure transparency in its online advertising practices and robust data protection for its users.
Reglamento General de Protección de Datos (RGPD) (General Data Protection Regulation) 2016 (effective 2018)
Although a European Union regulation, GDPR directly applies to Spain, imposing strict rules on how personal data is collected, processed, and stored by online platforms, affecting user data management and privacy.
GDPR requires property.blue to implement stringent data privacy and security measures for all user data, especially given its international user base.
