How to file your request

You can file your express request to exercise your rights free from any charge, at any time, by using the contact details provided
in this document, or via your legal representative.

How and when we will respond to your request

We will strive to promptly respond to your requests.
In any case, should it be impossible for us to do so, we’ll make sure to communicate to you the factual or legal reasons that
prevent us from immediately, or otherwise ever, complying with your requests. In cases where we are not processing your
personal information, we will indicate to you the physical or legal person to whom you should address your requests, if we are in
the position to do so.
In the event that you file an access or personal information processing confirmation request, please make sure that you specify
whether you’d like your personal information to be delivered in electronic or printed form.
You will also need to let us know whether you want us to answer your request immediately, in which case we will answer in a
simplified fashion, or if you need a complete disclosure instead.
In the latter case, we’ll respond within 15 days from the time of your request, providing you with all the information on the origin
of your personal information, confirmation on whether or not records exist, any criteria used for the processing and the purposes
of the processing, while safeguarding our commercial and industrial secrets.
In the event that you file a rectification, deletion, anonymization or personal information blocking request, we will make sure
to immediately communicate your request to other parties with whom we have shared your personal information in order to
enable such third parties to also comply with your request — except in cases where such communication is proven impossible or
involves disproportionate effort on our side.

when the transfer results from a commitment undertaken in an international cooperation agreement;
when the transfer is necessary for the execution of a public policy or legal attribution of public service;
