How and when we will respond to your request
We will do our best to respond immediately to your requests. In any case, if it is impossible, we will make a point of communicating to you the reasons of fact or law that prevent us from immediately fulfilling, or otherwise, fulfilling your requests. In cases where we are not processing your personal information, we will indicate the natural or legal person to whom you should forward your requests if we are in a position to do so.
If you register an access or confirmation request for processing personal information, be sure to specify whether you want your personal information to be delivered in electronic or printed format. You will also need to inform us if you want us to respond to your request immediately, in which case we will respond in a simplified manner or if you need a complete response. In the latter case, we will respond within 15 days of the time of your request, providing all information about the origin of your personal information, confirmation of whether or not records exist, any criteria used for processing and processing purposes, keeping our trade and industrial secrets protected.
If you request rectification, deletion, anonymity or blocking of personal information, we will immediately communicate your request to other parties with whom we share your personal information in order to allow these third parties to also comply with your request – except in cases where such communication proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort on our side.
