EXERCISE OF USER RIGHTS

General aspects

In accordance with the provisions of the GDPR, the Data Controller facilitates the exercise of the rights of the individual concerned, bearing in mind that the related interactions and communications must always respect the following criteria:

  • concise form,
  • transparent,
  • intelligible and easily accessible, with simple and clear language, in particular in the case of information intended specifically for minors.

Information is provided in writing or by other means, including, where appropriate, by electronic means. Although it is foreseen that upon express request by the interested party, information can be provided orally, the Data Controller, except in specific cases, tends to prefer the written form.

Terms and timing

The Data Controller provides the interested party with information relating to the action taken regarding a request without undue delay and, in any case, at the latest within one month of receiving the request. In accordance with the provisions of the GDPR, this term can be extended by two months, if necessary, taking into account the complexity and the number of requests: in this case, the Data Controller will inform the interested party of this extension, and the reasons for the delay, within one month of receiving the request. If the interested party submits the request by electronic means, the information is provided, where possible, by electronic means, unless otherwise indicated.

Exercisable rights

The interested party has the right to obtain confirmation that personal data concerning him or her is being processed.

Furthermore, the interested party has the right to obtain access to personal data as well as to the following information:

  1. the purposes of the treatment;
  2. the categories of personal data in question;
  3. the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data has been or will be disclosed, in particular if recipients from third countries or international organizations;
  4. when possible, the retention period of the personal data foreseen or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine this period;
  5. the existence of the right of the interested party to ask the data controller to rectify or delete personal data or limit the processing of personal data concerning him/her or to oppose its treatment;
  6. the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority;
  7. if the data is not collected by the interested party, all information available on its origin;
  8. the existence of an automated decision-making process, including the profiling referred to in Article 22, paragraphs 1 and 4, and, at least in such cases, significant information on the logic used, as well as the importance and expected consequences of such treatment for the interested party.

If personal data is transferred to a third country or to an international organization, the interested party has the right to be informed of the existence of adequate guarantees pursuant to article 46 relating to the transfer. The Data Controller provides a copy of the personal data being processed, and if the interested party requests further copies, he/she can charge a reasonable fee for costs based on administrative costs.

The interested party also has the right to obtain the correction of inaccurate personal data concerning him/her without undue delay, and taking into account the purposes of the processing, the interested party has the right to obtain the integration of incomplete personal data, also by providing an additional declaration.

The interested party has the right to obtain from the data controller the cancellation of personal data concerning him/her without undue delay and the data controller has the obligation to delete personal data without undue delay, if one of the following reasons exists:

  1. personal data is no longer necessary with respect to the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed;
  2. the interested party revokes the consent and if there is no other legal basis for processing (for example, a legal obligation);
  3. the interested party opposes the processing and there is no prevailing legitimate reason to proceed with the processing (for example, a legal obligation);
  4. personal data has been unlawfully processed;
  5. personal data must be deleted in order to fulfil a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the data controller is subject;
  6. personal data has been collected in relation to the offer of information society services.

If the Data Controller has made personal data public and is obliged to delete it, taking into account the available technology and implementation costs, he/she adopts reasonable measures, including technical measures, to inform the data controllers who are processing the personal data of the request of the interested party to delete any link, copy or reproduction of personal data.

The interested party has the right to obtain the limitation of processing by the data controller when one of the following hypotheses occurs:

a) the interested party disputes the accuracy of personal data, for the period necessary for the data controller to verify the accuracy of such personal data;

b) the treatment is unlawful and the interested party opposes the cancellation of personal data and instead requests that its use be limited;

c) although the data controller no longer needs it for processing purposes, personal data is necessary for the interested party to ascertain, exercise or defend a right in court;

d) the interested party has opposed the processing pursuant to Article 21, paragraph 1, pending verification of the possible prevalence of the legitimate reasons of the data controller with respect to those of the interested party.

If the treatment is limited, this personal data is processed, except for storage, only with the consent of the interested party or for the assessment, exercise or defence of a right in court or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of significant public interest of the Union or a Member State.

The interested party who obtained the limitation of treatment is informed by the data controller before said limitation is lifted.

The data controller will inform each of the recipients who have provided their personal data of any corrections or cancellations or limitations of the processing carried out, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. The data controller will communicate these recipients to the interested party if the interested party should request it.

The interested party has the right to receive personal data concerning him/her provided to a data controller in a structured format, commonly used and readable by an automatic device, and has the right to transmit this data to another data controller without impediments by the data controller to whom it was provided if:

  1. the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6, paragraph 1, letter a), or Article 9, paragraph 2, letter a), or on a contract pursuant to Article 6, paragraph 1, letter b); and the processing is carried out by automated means.
  2. In exercising their rights relating to data portability pursuant to paragraph 1, the interested party has the right to obtain the direct transmission of personal data from one data controller to the other, if technically feasible.
  3. The exercise of the right referred to in paragraph 1 of this article is without prejudice to Article 17. This right does not apply to the processing necessary for the performance of a task in the public interest or connected to the exercise of public authority of the data controller.

The request to exercise rights can be exercised by sending an email to the address above.
