CHAPTER IV ACCESS, CONSULTATION, AND COMPLAINT PROCEDURES
ARTICLE 15 - RIGHT OF ACCESS: The power of control or decision that the data subject has over the information concerning them necessarily entails the right to access and find out if their personal information is being processed, as well as the scope, conditions, and generalities of such processing. In this way, Orviplast must ensure the data subject's right of access through three means:
- The first means that the data subject can determine the actual existence of the processing to which their personal data is subjected.
- The second means that the data subject can access their personal data held by the data controller.
- The third means implies the right to know the essential circumstances of the processing, which translates into the duty of Orviplast to inform the data subject about the type of personal data being processed and each of the purposes justifying the processing.
Paragraph: Orviplast will ensure the right of access when, upon verification of the identity of the data subject or their representative, the details of personal data are made available to them, free of charge, through electronic means that allow the data subject direct access to them. This access must be provided without a time limit and must allow the data subject the possibility to view and update their data.
ARTICLE 16 - CONSULTATION: In accordance with Article 14 of Law 1581 of 2012, data subjects or their successors may inquire about the personal information of the data subject that is stored in any database. Therefore, Orviplast will guarantee the right of consultation, providing data subjects with all the information contained in the individual record or related to the identification of the data subject. To address requests for personal data consultation, Orviplast ensures:
- Enabling electronic communication methods or others deemed relevant.
- Establishing forms, systems, and other simplified methods, which must be communicated in the privacy notice.
- Using customer service or claims services currently in operation. In any case, regardless of the mechanism implemented for handling consultation requests, they will be addressed within a maximum of ten (10) business days from the date of receipt. When it is not possible to respond to the consultation within this term, the interested party will be informed before the expiration of the 10 days, stating the reasons for the delay and indicating the date on which their consultation will be addressed, which in no case may exceed five (5) business days from the expiration of the initial deadline.
ARTICLE 17 - COMPLAINTS: In accordance with Article 14 of Law 1581 of 2012, the data subject or their successors who believe that the information contained in a database should be corrected, updated, or deleted, or who observe the alleged non-compliance with any of the duties contained in Law 1581 of 2012, may file a complaint with the Data Controller, which will be processed according to the following rules:
- If the received complaint does not contain complete information that allows it to be processed, that is, with the identification of the data subject, a description of the facts that give rise to the complaint, the address, and the accompanying documents to be invoked, the interested party will be required to rectify the deficiencies within five (5) days of receipt. If two (2) months have elapsed since the date of the requirement, and the applicant has not submitted the requested information, it will be understood that they have withdrawn the complaint. If, due to any circumstances, Orviplast receives a complaint that should not actually be directed to them, they will forward it to the appropriate entity within a maximum of three (3) business days and inform the interested party of the situation.
- Once the complete complaint is received, a legend will be included in the database maintained by Orviplast indicating "complaint in process" and the reason for it within a period not exceeding two (2) business days. This legend must be maintained until the complaint is resolved. The maximum term for handling the complaint will be fifteen (15) business days from the day following the date of receipt. If it is not possible to handle it within this period, the interested party will be informed before the expiration of the aforementioned period of the reasons for the delay and the date on which their complaint will be addressed, which may not, in any case, exceed eight (8) business days from the expiration of the initial term.
ARTICLE 18 - IMPLEMENTATION OF PROCEDURES TO GUARANTEE THE RIGHT TO FILE COMPLAINTS: At any time and free of charge, the data subject or their representative may request Orviplast to rectify, update, or delete their personal data, upon verification of their identity. The rights of rectification, updating, or deletion can only be exercised by:
- The data subject or their successors, upon verification of their identity, or through electronic tools that allow them to identify themselves.
- The data subject's representative, upon verification of the representation.
- When the request is made by a person other than the data subject and it is not proven that they are acting on behalf of the data subject, it will be considered as not presented. The request for rectification, updating, or deletion must be submitted through the means provided by Orviplast indicated in the privacy notice and must contain, at a minimum, the following information:
- The name and address of the data subject or any other means to receive a response.
- Documents proving the identity or the representative's capacity.
- A clear and precise description of the personal data regarding which the data subject seeks to exercise one of the rights.
- In certain cases, other elements or documents that facilitate the location of the personal data.
Paragraph 1. RECTIFICATION AND UPDATING OF DATA: There is an obligation to rectify and update, at the request of the data subject, their information that is incomplete or inaccurate, in accordance with the procedure and terms outlined above. In this regard, it should be noted:
- In requests for rectification and updating of personal data, the data subject must indicate the corrections to be made and provide the documentation supporting their request. Orviplast has complete freedom to enable mechanisms that facilitate the exercise of this right, as long as they benefit the data subject. Consequently, electronic means or others that are deemed relevant may be enabled.
- Orviplast may establish forms, systems, and other simplified methods, which must be communicated in the privacy notice and made available to interested parties on the website.
- Orviplast will use the customer service or claims services it has in operation, as long as the response times are not greater than those indicated by Article 15 of Law 1581 of 2012. Each time Orviplast makes a new tool available to facilitate the exercise of data subject rights or modifies existing ones, it will inform this through its website.
Paragraph 2 - DELETION OF DATA: The data subject has the right, at any time, to request the deletion (elimination) of their personal data from Orviplast when:
- They believe that it is not being processed in accordance with the principles, duties, and obligations established in Law 1581 of 2012.
- It is no longer necessary or relevant for the purpose for which it was collected.
- The period necessary for the fulfillment of the purposes for which it was collected has elapsed. This deletion implies the total or partial elimination of personal information as requested by the data subject in records, files, databases, images, or processing carried out by Orviplast. It is important to note that the right to deletion is not absolute, and the data controller may deny the exercise of it when:
- Requests for deletion of information will not proceed when the data subject has a legal or contractual duty to remain in the database.
- Deletion of data obstructs judicial or administrative actions related to tax obligations, the investigation and prosecution of crimes, or the enforcement of sanctions.
- The data is necessary to protect the legally protected interests of the data subject, to take action in the public interest, or to fulfill an obligation legally acquired by the data subject.
If the deletion of personal data is appropriate, Orviplast must carry out the deletion in a way that prevents the recovery of the information.
ARTICLE 19 - REVOCATION OF AUTHORIZATION: Data subjects may revoke their consent to the processing of their personal data at any time, provided that it is not prevented by a legal provision. To do this, Orviplast must establish simple and free mechanisms that allow the data subject to revoke their consent, at least through the same means by which it was granted. It should be noted that there are two ways in which the revocation of consent can occur. The first may be for all the consented purposes, that is, Orviplast must stop processing the data subject's data completely. The second may occur for specific types of processing, such as for advertising or market research purposes. In the second scenario, the partial revocation of consent, other processing purposes with which the data subject agrees, in accordance with the granted authorization, will be unaffected. Therefore, when the data subject submits a request to revoke consent to Orviplast, they must indicate whether the revocation they intend to make is total or partial. In the second scenario, it must be indicated which processing the data subject does not agree with. There will be cases in which consent, due to its necessary nature in the relationship between the data subject and the controller for the fulfillment of a contract, by legal provision, cannot be revoked. The mechanisms or procedures that Orviplast establishes to address requests for revocation of consent may not exceed the deadlines for addressing claims as set out in Article 15 of Law 1581 of 2012.
CHAPTER V INFORMATION SECURITY
ARTICLE 20 - SECURITY MEASURES: In accordance with the security principle established in Law 1581 of 2012, Orviplast will adopt the technical, human, and administrative measures that are necessary to ensure the security of records, preventing their alteration, loss, unauthorized or fraudulent access or use.
ARTICLE 21 - IMPLEMENTATION OF SECURITY MEASURES: Orviplast will maintain security protocols that are mandatory for personnel with access to personal data and information systems.
