As the data subject, you are entitled to the rights set out below, which you may exercise by proving your identity before the Data Protection Officer, via the contact email address dpo@gco.com:
- Right of access. You may request information about the personal data that GCOAI holds about you and about the processing activities to which they are subject, as well as obtain a copy of such data in a structured, commonly used and easily readable format.
- Right to rectification. You may request the rectification of inaccurate personal data and also have the right to request that incomplete personal data be completed, including by means of a supplementary statement.
- Right to erasure. You may request the erasure of your personal data when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected by the data controller, or when you withdraw the consent on which the processing is based. This request shall not apply where processing is necessary on the grounds set out in the section “What is the legal basis for processing personal data?” above.In this respect, in the digital environment, if you exercise your right to be forgotten, the Entity will contact the internet service provider to forward your request for the cessation of the processing of the personal data concerning you, taking into account the technology available and the cost of its implementation. In such cases, the data will only be retained by the controller for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. This request shall not apply where processing is necessary on the grounds set out above, where processing is required for the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information, or for reasons of public interest.
- Right to object. You may object to the processing of your personal data, unless there are legitimate grounds which, after assessment, justify the continuation of the processing. In such cases, the personal data will only be retained by the controller for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. This request shall not apply where processing is necessary on the grounds set out in the section “What is the legal basis for processing personal data?” above.
- Right to restriction of processing. You may request the restriction of the processing of your personal data, which may involve the blocking of the data, in the following circumstances: (i) where you contest the accuracy of the personal data; (ii) where the controller opposes the erasure of the data because the processing is lawful; (iii) where the controller no longer needs the data for the purposes of the processing, but you require it for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; or (iv) where you have objected to the processing, while the controller verifies whether its legitimate grounds override yours.
In these cases, the personal data will only be retained by the controller for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. - Right to data portability. Where technically feasible, you may request that the personal data concerning you that is subject to automated processing be transmitted to another controller or to yourself, in a structured, commonly used and easily readable format, without prejudice to your rights to erasure or to be forgotten. In such cases, the data will only be retained by the controller for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
All communications and actions carried out in the context of exercising your rights shall be free of charge. Where requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive, particularly because of their repetitive nature, GCOAI may charge a reasonable fee based on the administrative costs incurred.
Confidentiality of personal data
From the outset of the processing of personal data, GCOAI will implement the technical, organisational and security measures required, taking into account the state of the art, in order to ensure the integrity, confidentiality, availability and resilience of personal data, and to prevent unauthorised alteration, loss, processing or access.
We inform you that the servers of some service providers of the Catalana Occidente Group may be located in countries outside the European Union. In cases where the level of privacy protection is not equivalent to that established in the Personal Data Protection Regulations, due to the absence of an adequacy decision by the European Commission, the Entity will adopt the appropriate safeguards provided for in the applicable regulations for transfers to third countries and international organisations, with the expressly provided exceptions for specific situations, in order to ensure that the level of protection of data subjects is not undermined, as well as the appropriate and necessary measures to safeguard data subjects’ rights and information security, based on the technical measures available at any given time.
