Data Subject Rights

1. Scope and objective.

The purpose of this document is to determine the protocol to be followed in order to comply with the rights of access, rectification, cancellation, forgetfulness, opposition, limitation of processing, portability and opposition to automated decision-making of personal data held in the files owned by the companies within the Gonvarri Material Handling (hereinafter GMH) management system.

The European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) contains the rights of the data subject, including clarifications and new rights. The Regulation also lays down specific conditions concerning the procedure to be followed in order to ensure that data subjects can exercise their rights.

The purpose of this procedure is to bring closer together and facilitate the procedure to be followed by GMH stakeholders in order to give effect to their rights in this area with regard to the personal data provided to the company.

3. Description of data subject rights

3.1.   Personal data and processing from Gonvarri employees

Any person shall have the right to request and obtain, free of charge, information on the personal data subject to processing, the origin of such data, as well as the communications made or planned. Additionally, the interested party may request the rectification, cancellation, opposition or portability of their personal data.

The rights will be exercised by means of a request addressed to the mailbox privacy.enquiries@gonvarri.com using the Rights Execution Request Form.

No consideration is required for the exercise of the rights of the data subjects.

3.1.1.   Right of Access

The data subject shall have the right to obtain confirmation from the Privacy Officer as to whether the data are being processed or transferred to a third country or to an international organization.

In the event that the data subject requests a copy of the personal data processed, the Privacy Officer shall provide it in a common electronic format.

3.1.2.  Right to rectification

The data subject shall have the right to have inaccurate personal data concerning him corrected without undue delay by the controller. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject shall have the right to have incomplete personal data supplemented, including by an additional declaration.

3.1.3. Right to erasure (Right to be forgotten)

The data subject shall have the right to obtain without undue delay from the Privacy Officer the deletion of personal data concerning him/her. The Privacy Officer is obliged to delete personal data when:

• The data are not necessary for the purposes for which they were collected.
• Are obsolete.
• The data subject’s consent to processing is withdrawn.
• Have been used in an unlawful manner.

3.1.4.  Right to object

The data subject shall have the right to object at any time to the processing of his or her personal data, provided that such processing is lawful. You may object to the processing of your data for reasons related to your particular situation, when the processing is based on: direct marketing; profiling; legitimate interest of the data controller or third parties, provided that the interests or rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail, especially if you are a child; or the purposes of the processing are associated with: historical, statistical or scientific research, unless the processing is necessary for reasons of public interest.

3.1.5. Right to restriction of processing.

The data subject shall have the right to obtain from the Privacy Officer the limitation of the processing of the data when any of the following conditions are met:

• The data subject contests the accuracy of the personal data.
• The processing is unlawful and the data subject objects to the deletion of the data and instead requests the limitation of their use.
• The data controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but the data subject needs them for the formulation, exercise or defence of claims.
• The data subject has opposed processing, while it is being checked whether the data controller’s legitimate reasons prevail over the data subjects.

3.1.6. Right to data portability

The data subject shall have the right to have his or her data transmitted by the Privacy Officer to another Data Processor or to the data subject himself or herself, in a structured format for normal use and mechanical reading, when processing is carried out by automated means.

3.1.7. Right to object automated decision-making

The data subject shall have the right not to be the subject of a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which has legal effect on him or affects him in a similar manner.

3.2.   Data subject rights execution.

• The Privacy Officer must inform the data subjects of the possibility of exercising the data subject’s rights under the new European regulation.
• For the exercise of the rights, the template available on the website will be completed with the data of the person interested in exercising the rights and will be sent to the e-mail address privacy.enquiries@gonvarri.com
• The information may be requested by the data subject or his or her legal representative (in cases of disability or minority), expressly by sending the form in Annex A and a photocopy of the National Identity Document to the mailbox privacy.enquiries@gonvarri.com to certify his or her representation and detailing, where appropriate, the data to which he or she wishes to have access or on which the Privacy Officer must act.
• In the event that the requirement of identification of the data subject is not met (e.g.: request requested by a person other than the data subject, lack of accreditation by the legal representative, etc.), the Privacy Officer informs the data subject in writing of the impossibility of attending to the request until it is identified as specified.
• Once the request is received, the Privacy Officer decides whether or not to accept it. In both cases, it communicates the decision to the person concerned in writing so that he or she can subsequently prove it (registered mail with acknowledgement of receipt).
• Likewise, in the event of acceptance, the Privacy Officer may also facilitate access to your personal data in the corresponding file through direct viewing by the interested party at the Privacy Officer’s premises. In this case, the Privacy Officer issues a written statement stating, with the signature of the interested party, that the right of access has been exercised in form and time. All requests for the exercise of rights received from the data subject are duly recorded.
• In all cases, the Privacy Officer informs the data subject of the actions to be taken in relation to the requests received.
• In cases where the data have been collected or recorded by fraudulent, unfair or illicit means, the cancellation of the same always involves the immediate deletion, and never the blocking of the data. In any event, such deletion is carried out when possible contractual obligations are extinguished or when the law imposes on the maintenance of documents. This premise must be studied by the Privacy Officer and the sector involved before proceeding with any action.

3.3.   Reply deadlines

• Privacy Officer must answer all the requests received and analysed, regardless of whether or not the personal data of the data subject appear in his or her files or processing. To this end, it uses the reply formats mentioned in section 4.2 “Exercise of these Rights” and any other means of proving that the message has been sent and received (registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt).
• To answer the requests received, whether estimated or not, the Privacy Officer has the following maximum deadlines:

3.4.   Refusal to exercise the rights of the data subject

•  The Privacy Officer may deny access to files or processing when:
  • The data subject has already exercised his right within a period of less than twelve months and there is no evidence of a legitimate interest to that effect.
  • The request has been made by a person other than the affected person (only in cases of disability and minority of the affected person, when it is not proven that he or she is the legal representative).
• The Privacy Officer can only refuse the rectification, opposition or cancellation or forgetfulness of the files or processing when:
  • The request has been made by a person other than the affected person (only in cases of disability and minority of the affected person, when it is not proven that he or she is the legal representative).
  • The cancellation causes damage to the legitimate interests of the affected party or third parties.
  • There is an obligation to retain the data
