Privacy policy

As you are probably aware, the entry into force of (EU) Regulation 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council, of 27th April 2016 on General Data protection (hereinafter GDPR) and Organic Law 3/2018, of 5th December, on Personal Data Protection and Guarantee of Digital Rights (hereinafter OLDPGDR) addresses the need to strengthen the levels of security and protection of personal data. We wish to inform you that we meet all the requirements of this legislation and that all data under our responsibility is processed pursuant to legal requirements and with the due security measures that will guarantee their confidentiality. However, given the legislative changes, we consider it convenient to inform you of the following privacy policy:

 

Who is responsible for processing your data?

Identity: ARMANDO ÁLVAREZ, S.A.
Postal address: Av. Pablo Garnica, 20 – 39300 Torrelavega (Cantabria)
Telephone: 942 84 61 00
Email: gdpr@armandoalvarez.com

 

What are your rights?

  • Any person is entitled to obtain confirmation on whether we are processing personal data concerning them, or not.
  • The stakeholders have the right to access their personal data, as well as to request the correction of inaccurate data or, if applicable, request their removal when, among other reasons, the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.
  • It is not possible to exercise the right to correction in the case of video surveillance processing, because given the nature of the data -images taken from the reality that show an objective fact-, this would be a right on content that is impossible to implement.
  • Under certain circumstances, the stakeholder may request limitation of the processing of their data, in which case we will only keep them to place or defend claims.
  • Under certain circumstances and due to reasons pertaining to their particular situation, stakeholders may oppose the processing of their data, in which case the Data Controller will stop processing the data, except for legitimate imperative reasons, or to initiate or defend possible claims. Thus, regarding video surveillance images, exercising the right of opposition entails huge difficulties. If it is interpreted as the impossibility of recording images of a specific subject within the video surveillance installations linked to private security purposes, it would not be possible to satisfy it insofar as protection of safety would prevail.
  • By virtue of the right to portability, the interested parties are entitled to obtain the personal data pertaining to them in a structured and common use format that is mechanically read, and to transfer it to another data controller”.
  • In the event that the consent has been given for a specific purpose, you are entitled to withdraw the consent at any time, and this will not affect the legality of the processing based on the consent prior to withdrawing it.

 

How can you exercise your rights?

Where to go to exercise your rights:

“If you wish to exercise your rights, please use the channel established to this purpose by the data controller: gdpr@armandoalvarez.com so that we may respond to and manage your request”

Information required to exercise your rights:

In order to exercise your rights, we must verify your identity and the specific request that you are making, therefore we ask for the following information:

  • Documented information (written/ email) on the request.
  • Proof of identity as owner of the data object of the request (Name, surnames of the stakeholder and photocopy of the ID of the stakeholder and/or of the person representing them, as well as the document proving said representation (legal representative, if any).
  • In the event of exercising rights regarding data of deceased persons: Copy of:
    • Libro de Familia (Family Book) or Civil Registry certification that shows the kinship or relationship to the deceased and/or,
    • Will that declares the requesting party as the heir and/or,
    • Express appointment by the deceased of the person or institution requesting the right and/or
    • Documentation that proves the legal representation of the deceased.
    • In the event of exercising the right to amendment and/or elimination: A Liability Statement by the requesting party where they prove that they have the consent of the other people linked to the deceased due to kinship or other relationships, as well as the heirs, to make this request.
  • When the data controller has reasonable doubts on the identity of the individual making the request, they may ask for any additional information that is necessary to confirm the identity of the stakeholder.
  • Address to purposes of notifications, date and signature of the applicant (if it is in writing), or full name and surnames (if it is by email), or validation of the request in the private area of the communication channel, with the personal code authenticating your identity)

When exercising the right to rectification acknowledged in article 16 of the GDPR, the affected party must state in their request the data in question and the correction to be made. When necessary, they must attach the documentation proving the error or incomplete nature of the data being processed.

Likewise, when a large amount of data pertaining to the affected party is processed and they exercise their right to access, without specifying whether they refer to all or part of the data, the controller may request, prior to providing the information, that the affected party specify the data or processing activity involved in the request.

General Procedure to Exercise your rights:

Once the required information is received, we will respond to your request pursuant to the organisation’s general procedure for exercising rights:

The data controller will provide the stakeholder with information pertaining to their actions based on a request pursuant to articles 15 to 22 (Rights of the stakeholder), and, in any case, within one month from receipt of the request.

This period may be extended another two months, if necessary, taking into account the complexity and the number of requests.

The data controller shall inform the stakeholder of any of these extensions within one month from receipt of the request, stating the reasons for the delay.

When the stakeholder submits the request by electronic means, the information will be provided by electronic means when possible, unless the stakeholder asks that it be provided in another way.

Only in those cases where the controller’s processing systems allow, the right to access will be provided through a direct and safe remote access system to the personal data, which will guarantee permanent access to all of the data. To this end, communication by the controller to the affected party of the manner in which they may access this system will suffice to consider the request to exercise their right as satisfied. However, the stakeholder may request from the Data Controller the information referred to in the cases set forth in article 15.1 of the GDPR that is not included in the remote access system.

If the data controller does not process the stakeholder’s request, they will inform them without delay, and at the latest within one month from receipt of the request, of the reasons for their inaction and that they may submit a claim before a supervising authority and take legal action.

The information provided shall be free of charge, except for reasonable fees for administrative costs. When the affected party chooses a medium other than what is offered to them and that entails a disproportionate cost, the request shall be deemed excessive and therefore the affected party will cover the excess in cost that their choice entails. In this case, the Data Controller shall only be responsible for satisfying the right to access without undue delays.

The data controller may refuse to act on the request; however, they bear the burden of proving the manifestly unfounded or excessive nature of the request. To purposes of the content of article 12.5 of the GDPR, the right to exercise access more than once within a period of six months may be deemed repetitive, unless there is a legitimate reason for it.

In those cases where exercising the right to rectification or elimination are applicable, the data will be blocked: Blocking the data consists of identifying and reserving it, adopting technical and organisational means to prevent its processing, including viewing, except to make it available to judges and courts, the Public Prosecutor Office or the competent Public Administrations, particularly the data protection authorities, for the demand of possible liabilities derived from the processing, and only for the time until they prescribe. After this time, the data will be destroyed. The blocked data may not be processed for any purpose other than that stated above. (Art. 16 GDPR and Art. 32 OLDPGDR)

When the elimination is derived from exercising the right to oppose, according to article 21.2 of the GDPR, the Data Controller may keep the identification data of the affected party that is required in order to prevent future processing for direct marketing purposes. In those cases where you do not wish for your data to be processed to send commercial communication, we remit you to the existing publicity exclusion systems, according to the information published by the competent supervisory authority (AEPD) on its electronic site www.aepd.es

In those cases where personal data processing is limited, it will be clearly shown on the Data Controller’s information systems.

When there is a proven, due and payable debt, a communication is sent to the debtor when payment is requested, regarding the possibility of inclusion in said systems (the organisation’s debtor processing system), specifying those in which it participates (debt collection agencies to manage the pertinent claim…) if the debt is not resolved within a maximum of 15 days from notification of the insolvency, you are informed of the possibility of exercising the rights established in articles 15 to 22 of the GDPR, within thirty days from notification of the debt to the system, and the data will remain blocked during that time.

People who are related to the deceased through kinship or other relationship, as well as their heirs, may address the data controller or processor in order to request access to their personal data and, where applicable, their correction or elimination. As an exception, the people referred to in the above paragraph may not access the data of the deceased, nor request its correction or elimination, when the deceased had expressly forbidden it or when it is so established by law. This prohibition will not affect the heirs’ rights to access the asset data of the deceased.

In order to comply with current regulations on video surveillance Inst 1/2006 of the AEPD, we inform you that the recordings shall be kept for one month from their production, therefore we will not be able to fulfil requests submitted after this period. Also, to prevent third-party rights from being affected, in the event of a request for access, we will issue a certificate that will specify the data that was the object of processing, with the utmost precision possible and without affecting the rights of third parties. For example: “Your image was recorded on our systems on the ___ of the month of the year between _ o’clock and _ o’clock. Specifically, the system records your access and exit from the facilities.”

 

What are the methods for placing a claim?

If you believe that your rights were not duly taken care of, you are entitled to submit a claim before the competent data protection authority (www.agpd.es)

Contact data and individual employer data processing; Article 22. Processing to purposes of video surveillance; Article 24 Internal complaint information systems).

Article 20.3 and 4 of Royal Legislative Decree 1/1995 of 24 March, approving the Consolidated Text of the Workers Statute Act (Estatuto de los Trabajadores, ET): The employer may take all the measures they deem best for surveillance and monitoring to verify that the worker fulfils their job obligations and duties, maintaining due consideration for human dignity and taking into account the actual capability of disabled workers, if any.

The employer may verify the worker’s illness or accident condition that they allege to justify their missing work, by means of a doctor check-up. The worker’s refusal to submit to this check-up may lead to suspension of the economic rights that the employer may be bound to pay under these situations.

(*) Ruling by the Constitutional Court 39/2016, of 3 March (Law 218/2016), reasoning that this authority to monitor is authorised by article 20.3 of the ET, which expressly authorises the employer to adopt surveillance and monitoring measures to verify that workers fulfil their job obligations. This general authority to monitor established by law allows employers to monitor workers’ compliance with their professional duties, and the consent by these workers to this effect is implicit in the formalisation of the work contract. The legitimacy of this purpose is fulfilled with the existence of several signs posted throughout the organisation facilities that advise of the presence of cameras and recording of images and with clear information, if possible in writing, informing that they will be recorded, with the sole purpose to monitor fulfilment of job duties and that they may be penalised pursuant to the images recorded in the event of proven non-fulfilment. Likewise, STS 77/2017 of 31 January 2017.

AEPD guide to video surveillance: Article 20.3 of the Workers’ Statute allows the employer to take all the measures they deem best for surveillance and monitoring to verify that the worker fulfils their job obligations and duties, maintaining due consideration for human dignity and taking into account the actual capability of disabled workers, if any. These measures may include, among others, the recording and/or processing of images without consent. However, these practises are fully subject to the Data Protection Act and to Instruction 1/2006 and they must meet specific requirements.

Compliance with the legal obligation to guarantee the health and safety of employees is specified as the legal basis for the processing associated with temperature monitoring. This legal basis is contained in this case in the following regulations:

  • Workers’ Statute.
  • Law 21/1995 on Prevention of Workplace Hazards.
  • Royal Decree 664/1997 on protection of employees from risks related to exposure to biological agents on the job*
  • Procedure for the occupational hazard prevention services against exposure to SARS-CoV-2
  • Good practises guidelines in the industrial sector regarding Covid-19 (National Institute for Health and Safety at the Workplace).
  • Guidelines adopted by the organisation’s Occupational Hazard Prevention service by legal certification and delegation of preventive duties.

Who can your data be communicated to?

  • Organisations or individuals directly hired by the Data Controller to provide services connected to the processing purposes (specify): Security company hired
  • Insurance Companies (specify): In the event of an incident or accident they are provided to insurance companies to investigate the incident in order to establish the scope and coverage of the insurance premium subscribed by the data controller.

  • Compliance Report Channel (Complaints on breach of the data protection regulations are sent to the “Chief Privacy Officer” at the Group’s headquarters): Access to the data contained in these systems will be limited exclusively to those who, integrated or not within the organisation, perform internal monitoring and compliance duties, or to the data processors that are eventually appointed to this purpose. However, access by other people, or even communication to third parties, will be legal when it is necessary in order to take disciplinary action or to follow the legal proceedings that are necessary, when applicable.

Under what guarantee is your data communicated?

Data is communicated to third parties who prove that they have a Personal Data Protection System pursuant to current legislation.

What are the methods for placing a claim?

If you deem that the exercise of your rights was not fully satisfactory, you may submit a claim with the national supervisory authority by addressing the Spanish Data Protection Agency, C/Jorge Juan, 6 – 28001 Madrid.

What type of data do we process? 

Identification and professional picture and data, as well as the reasons for the visit and/or person being visited, time of access and exit from the facilities.

  • LOCATION OF SCREENS: The screens where the images from the cameras are viewed are located in a restricted-access area, so that they are not accessible to non-authorised third parties.
  • PRESERVATION: The images/sounds recorded by the video surveillance systems will be eliminated within a maximum period of one month from their recording, except if they have to be kept to prove the perpetration of acts that threaten the integrity of people, assets or facilities (in which case the images will be made available to the competent authorities within a maximum period of 72 hours from when the existence of the recording was known), or if they are related to serious or very serious criminal or administrative offences regarding public safety, with an ongoing police investigation or with ongoing legal or administrative proceedings (Instruction 1/2006 of 8 November, of the AEPD, on personal data processing to purposes of surveillance via camera or video camera systems and Art. 22 OLDPGDR) – 30 days.
  • WORK MONITORING: The processing is performed to exercise the duties to monitor the employees as established in article 20.3 of the Workers’ Statute, within its legal framework and with the limits inherent to it. Insofar as the cameras may be used to monitor work in accordance with article 20.3 of the Workers’ Statute, the workers and their representatives are informed on these monitoring measures implemented by the employer, expressly stating that the purpose of the images recorded by the cameras is to monitor work, as specified in the inclusion notification clause and in this privacy policy.
  • RIGHT TO ACCESS THE IMAGES: In order to fulfil the stakeholders’ right to access, a recent photograph and the National ID of the stakeholder will be requested, as well as details on the date and time on which the right to access is being exercised. The stakeholder will not be provided direct access to the images of the cameras that show images of third parties. To prevent third-party rights from being affected, in the event of a request for access, we will issue a certificate that will specify the data that was the object of processing, with the utmost precision possible and without affecting the rights of third parties. For example: “Your image was recorded on our systems on the ___ of the month of the year between _ o’clock and _ o’clock. Specifically, the system records your access and exit from the facilities.”
