5- WHAT RIGHTS CAN DATA SUBJECTS EXERCISE BEFORE ERSM OVER THEIR PERSONAL DATA?
Right of access
Data Subjects have the right to know if ERSM is processing their personal data or not and, if so, the right to know what data it processes.
Right of rectification
Data Subjects have the right to modify those data of theirs that are inaccurate and to complete those data that are incomplete. Whenever they request to rectify any personal data, they must indicate which data they wish to modify in each case and adequately accredit them.
Right to object
In the cases legally foreseen, the Data Subjects may object at any time, for reasons related to their particular situation, to ERSM processing their personal data when the legitimizing basis of said processing is a legitimate interest of ERSM or the fulfillment of a mission of public interest by the same. In any case, the Data Subjects must remember that opposition to the performance of those processing based on consent or on the execution of a contract will entail the impossibility for ERSM to carry out said processing or execute said contract. For all those processing whose object is direct marketing, you can always oppose them and/or revoke your consent at any time.
Right of deletion
Data Subjects have the right to obtain without undue delay from ERSM the deletion of personal data concerning them, provided that certain circumstances provided for in the applicable current regulations occur. This does not mean that the data of the Data Subjects are totally eliminated, but that they will be duly kept blocked, that is, kept in a way that prevents their processing except for making them available to public administrations, judges and courts for the attention of possible liabilities that have arisen as a result of the processing during the limitation period of the latter. Once that period has elapsed, the data will be duly anonymized or permanently deleted.
Right to data portability
Data Subjects have the right to receive and/or request that those personal data that concern them and that they have provided to ERSM be transferred to another data controller other than ERSM. ERSM reminds Data Subjects that it is only possible to exercise this right when the legitimizing basis for the processing of their personal data is the execution of a contract or the consent of the Data Subject and the processing is carried out by automated means.
Right to restriction of processing
Data Subjects have the right to request ERSM to suspend the processing of their data (i) when they have challenged the accuracy of their data, while ERSM verifies said accuracy; or (ii) when they have exercised their right to object to the processing of their data, while it is verified whether the legitimate interests of ERSM prevail over those of the Data Subjects. Likewise, this right allows Data Subjects to request ERSM to keep their personal data when (i) the data processing is illegal and the Data Subject opposes the deletion of their data, requesting instead a restriction of its use; or (ii) ERSM no longer needs their personal data for the purposes of the processing, but needs them for the formulation, exercise, or defense of claims.
In those personal data processing that we carry out on the legitimizing basis of the consent of the Data Subjects, the latter have the right to withdraw said consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of the processing previously carried out based on the consent prior to its withdrawal. Those data processing that ERSM carries out on the legitimizing basis of the consent of the Data Subject may not be carried out by ERSM if the Data Subject refuses to give their consent.
ERSM does not currently carry out any profiling of the Data Subjects, nor does it carry out any automated processing of their personal data on which decisions are made that may legally affect or significantly similarly affect the Data Subjects.
Data Subjects may exercise their rights free of charge, freely and at any time by communicating it to ERSM by email addressed to its DPO at the address protecciondatos@ersmgrupo.com and specifying which right in particular is being exercised. If we have difficulties identifying the Data Subject, we may request the same to send an identifying document in order to duly confirm their identity and correctly manage their request. In the event that you consider that ERSM has not correctly satisfied the exercise of your rights, you may file a claim with the Spanish Data Protection Agency - https://www.aepd.es/es.

In any case, ERSM will only communicate the personal data of the Final Clients and Potential Final Clients when said communication is necessary for the achievement of the purposes of the aforementioned processing and only to the extent that said communication is necessary.
