Likewise, the authorization may be made by means of unequivocal conduct of the Holder that allows to reasonably conclude that he/she granted the authorization.

Procedure for the exercise of right.

In compliance with the rules on personal data protection, the Data Controller presents the procedure and minimum requirements for the exercise of the rights of the Data Controllers.
For the filing and attention of your request we ask you to provide the following information:

Full name and surname; contact details (physical and/or electronic address and contact telephone numbers); means to receive a response to your request; reason(s)/fact(s) that give rise to the claim with a brief description of the right you wish to exercise (know, update, rectify, request proof of the authorization granted, revoke it, delete, access the information); signature (in the event that applies) and identification number.

The following is the procedure for queries and claims:

The Data Subject may consult his/her personal data free of charge: (i) at least once every calendar month and (ii) every time there are substantial modifications to the policies for the Processing of the information that motivate new consultations.

For consultations whose frequency is greater than one per calendar month, the Data Controller may charge the Data Subject for the costs of sending, reproduction and, if applicable, certification of documents. Reproduction costs shall not exceed the costs of retrieval of the corresponding material.

The Data Controller shall respond to the queries made by the Data Subject or his/her assignees, within a maximum term of ten (10) business days from the date of receipt thereof. When it is not possible to answer the query within such term, the interested party shall be informed, stating the reason for the delay and indicating the date on which the query will be answered, which in no case may exceed five (05) business days following the expiration of the first term.

The Data Subject or its assignees who consider that the information contained in a database should be corrected, updated or deleted, or when they notice the alleged breach of any of the duties contained in Law 1581 of 2012 or in the rules that regulate or modify it, may file a complaint with the Data Controller or the Data Processor, which will be processed under the following rules:

  1.   The claim shall be formulated by means of a request addressed to the Data Controller or the Data Processor, with the identification of the Data Subject, the description of the facts that give rise to the claim, his address, and accompanied by the documents to be asserted. If the claim is incomplete, the interested party will be required within five (05) days of receipt of the claim to correct the faults. After two (02) months from the date of the requirement, without the applicant submitting the required information, it will be understood that the claim has been withdrawn. In the event that the Data Controller is not competent to resolve the claim, it will transfer it to the appropriate person within a maximum period of two (02) working days and inform the interested party of the situation.
  2. Once the complete claim has been received, a legend stating "claim in process" and the reason for the claim will be included in the database containing the information in the claim, within a term no longer than two (02) business days. Said legend shall be maintained until the claim.
  3. The maximum term to address the claim will be fifteen (15) working days from the day following the date of receipt. When it is not possible to address the claim within such term, the interested party will be informed of the reasons for the delay and the date on which the claim will be addressed, which in no case may exceed eight (08) business days following the expiration of the first term.
  4. The request for deletion of the information and the revocation of the authorization shall not proceed when the Data Subject has a legal or contractual duty to remain in the database. If upon expiration of the respective legal term, the Data Controller and/or the Data Processor, as the case may be, have not deleted the personal data, the Data Subject shall have the right to request the Superintendence of Industry and Commerce to order the revocation of the authorization and/or the deletion of the personal data.
  5. Complaint procedure before the Superintendence of Industry and Commerce. The Data Subject or assignee may only file a complaint with the Superintendence of Industry and Commerce once the consultation or complaint process has been exhausted before the Data Controller, according to the aforementioned procedure.
  6. Truthfulness of the information. The holders of personal data have the duty to provide the Data Controller with truthful personal information in order to fulfill the purpose for which the collection of information from the data holder is made. The Data Controller presumes the truthfulness of the information provided by the Data Subjects and shall not assume the obligation to verify the identity of the Data Subjects, nor the truthfulness, validity, sufficiency and authenticity of the data provided by each of them. Therefore, they shall not be liable for damages and/or losses of any nature that may arise from the lack of truthfulness, validity, sufficiency or authenticity of the information and personal data, including damages that may be due to homonymy or impersonation.
  7. Validity The Data Controller accepts and acknowledges that the authorization for the processing of data will be valid during the time in which the Data Controller carries out the activities of its corporate purpose and/or when the data owner decides to revoke the authorization on them.

Therefore, the databases in which the personal data will be recorded will be valid for as long as the information is kept and used for the purposes described in this Guide. In any case it is necessary to have the data for compliance with the legal and/or contractual obligations of the Data Controller, especially in accounting, fiscal and tax matters or for all the time necessary to comply with the provisions applicable to the matter in question, the administrative, accounting, fiscal, legal and historical aspects of the information, or in any event provided by law.

The Data Controller may unilaterally change the terms of this Guide, and therefore undertakes to publish any modification, without affecting the rights of the Data Subjects.
