  The General Data Protection Regulation recognizes a number of rights in relation to your personal data. You may request access to your data, the correction of any errors in our files and / or you may object to the processing of your personal data. You can also exercise your right to complain to the competent supervisory authority or to go to court. Depending on the case, you may also have the right to request the deletion of your personal data, the right to restrict the processing of your data and the right to data portability.

  Access. You can ask us:

  • to confirm if we process your personal data;
  • to provide you with a copy of this data;
  • to provide you with other information about your personal data, such as the data we have, what we use it for, to whom we disclose it, if we transfer it abroad and how we protect it, how long we keep it, what rights you have, how can you make a complaint, from where we obtained your data, to the extent that the information has not already been provided to you by this information.

  Correction. You may ask us to rectify or complete your inaccurate or incomplete personal data. We may try to verify the accuracy of the data before rectifying it.

  • you withdrew your consent (if the data processing was based on consent); or
  • exercise a legal right to oppose; or
  • they were processed illegally; or
  • we have a legal obligation in this regard.

  We have no obligation to comply with your request to delete your personal data if the processing of your personal data is necessary for the observance of a legal obligation; or for finding, exercising or defending a right in court. There are certain other circumstances in which we are not required to comply with your request to delete data, although these are the two most likely circumstances in which we may deny this request.

  Restriction. You can ask us to restrict the processing of personal data, but only if:

  • their accuracy is contested (see rectification section), to allow us to verify their accuracy; or
  • processing is illegal, but you do not want the data to be deleted; or

  • to protect the rights of Guanako or another natural or legal person.

  Portability. You can ask us to provide you with personal data in a structured, commonly used and automatically readable format, or you can request that it be “ported” directly to another data controller, but in each case only if:

  • the processing is based on your consent or on the conclusion or execution of a contract with you; and
  • processing is done by automatic means.

  Opposition. You may object at any time, for reasons related to your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data under our legitimate interest, if you consider that your fundamental rights and freedoms prevail over this interest. You may also object at any time to the processing of your data for the purpose of direct marketing (including the creation of profiles), without invoking any reason, in which case we will cease this processing as soon as possible.

  Automatic decision making. You may request not to be subject to a decision based solely on automatic processing, but only when that decision:

  • produces legal effects on you; or
  • affects you in a similar way and to a significant extent.

  This right does not apply if the decision reached following the automatic decision-making:

  • we are required to conclude or enter into a contract with you;
  • is authorized by law and there are adequate guarantees for your rights and freedoms; or
  • is based on your explicit consent.

  In order to exercise your rights, you can contact us using the contact details set out in this policy. Please note the following if you wish to exercise these rights:

  Identity.

Otherwise, we reserve the right to verify your identity by requesting additional information aimed at confirming your identity.

  Fees. We will not charge you a fee to exercise any rights with respect to your personal data, unless your request for access to information is unfounded, repetitive or excessive, in which case we will charge a reasonable amount. In such circumstances, we will inform you of any fees applied before resolving your request.

  Response time. We intend to respond to any valid requests within a maximum of one month, unless this is particularly complicated or if you have made several requests, in which case we will respond within a maximum of two months. We will let you know if we need more than a month. We may ask you if you can tell us exactly what you want to receive or what worries you.
