8. RIGHTS OF THE INTERESTED PARTY

In accordance with the provisions of applicable regulations, UNE informs the customer or user that they enjoy the following rights derived from applicable regulations:

Access: the data subject has the right to obtain information on whether UNE is processing personal data that concern them and, where that is the case, the right to obtain a copy of the personal data that are subject to processing.

Rectification: the data subject has the right to rectify errors and modify data that are inaccurate or incomplete.

Erasure: the data subject has the right to have their data erased and no longer processed by UNE, unless there is a legal obligation to store them and/or other legitimate grounds for processing by UNE prevail. For example, if personal data is no longer needed for the purposes for which they were collected, the customer may request that we delete this data without undue delay.

Restriction: under the legally established conditions, the data subject may restrict the processing of their data, in such a way that UNE may not undertake future processing of this data, which it will only store for the purposes of exercising or defending legal claims.

Objection: under certain circumstances and for reasons related to their specific situation, data subjects may object to their data being processed. UNE will cease processing said data except in the event of overriding legal grounds, or the exercise or defence of possible legal claims. Similarly, the interested party is entitled not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which has legal effects on the subject or similar significant effects thereon.

Portability: this enables the data subject to receive their personal data in a structured, commonly-used, machine-readable format and to send them directly to another data controller.

UNE guarantees the adoption of the measures needed to ensure the exercise of these rights free of charge. Anyone wishing to exercise said rights must be properly identified and communicate with us through the following channels:

  • By sending an email containing the information indicated in the previous section to the following address: datos@une.org
  • By means of a letter, indicating which right they wish to exercise, addressed to C/Génova nº6, 28004 of Madrid, to the attention of the UNE Legal Advisory Service.

Lastly, individuals are hereby informed that they can present a complaint related to the processing of their personal data to the controlling authority, in the case of Spain, the Spanish Data Protection Agency (www.aepd.es).

 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON DATA PROTECTION CONCERNING TEMPORARY TEMPERATURE CONTROL AT THE ENTRANCE TO UNE FACILITIES

UNE makes available to its customers, providers, collaborators and employees, in a clear and understandable way, all the additional data protection information related to the temporary temperature control at the entrances to any of its facilities and work centres (hereinafter, the "Additional Information").

This Additional Information will be available to data subjects for as long as UNE carries out temperature controls at the entrances to its facilities. If you have any doubts or questions about this Additional Information, please contact our Data Protection Officer via the email address datos@une.org

 

 WHAT IS THE DATA PROCESSING RELATED TO TEMPERATURE CONTROL?

The main purpose of implementing temporary temperature controls at the entrances to UNE's facilities is to adopt adequate protection measured designed to allow access as appropriate, and, where applicable, to deny access to people presenting with a fever (one of the main symptoms developed by those infected with COVID-19), to prevent the spread of the pandemic, and to guarantee the protection of the health of UNE's personnel and collaborators, as well as of its customers and providers.

 

As a result, and in order to guarantee the right to privacy and data protection for all employees, collaborators, customers and providers, UNE will not collect any personal data during the temperature controls, regardless of the body temperature taken. Therefore, under no circumstances will UNE store, record or keep any personal information resulting from the temporary body temperature checks at the access points to UNE's facilities and work centres.


CHANGES TO THIS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

This Additional Information may vary over time due to possible changes in criteria followed by the supervisory authority responsible for data protection matters at any time. UNE therefore reserves the right to modify this Additional Information in order to adapt it to these criteria, as well as to new developments with regard to health, jurisprudence or legislation.

Madrid, 18 August 2020.
