If Auto Rent intends to send messages for marketing purposes, whose receipt is independent of the intervention of the recipient, its prior consent is necessary.
Consent is not required in the case of messages sent to legal persons, but the possibility of not receiving them is open.
The recipient must have access to means that allow him at any time to refuse to send these messages, without any burden. Consent should be as easy to withdraw as to give, for example, opt-out / unsubscribe in sent emails.
If the addressee decides to refuse this type of communications, no further communications should be sent for the purposes of that marketing operation.
Auto Rent uses video surveillance (CCTV) systems for capturing and recording images with the objective of protecting people and property, under Law 34/2013, of May 16, Article 8.
These systems, however, guarantee the privacy and respect for the fundamental rights of the holders and can not focus on:
The image recordings obtained by the video surveillance systems are stored in an encoded record for a period of 30 days counted from the respective capture, at the end of which they are destroyed.
All persons who have access to the recordings performed, due to their functions, are obliged to maintain confidentiality, under penalty of criminal procedure.
Auto Rent maintains your personal information for a period of time that does not exceed what is reasonably required or legally required. The period of time for which we maintain such information depends on the type of information, its purpose and as long as the holder does not exercise the right of withdrawal or opposition to the treatment of the same.
The criteria we use to determine the retention period for certain categories are as follows:
Under the RGPD, the data subject is guaranteed the exercise of all legally permitted rights, provided that there is a processing of personal data, namely:
Right of access - consists in the right to obtain confirmation of what your personal data are treated and information about them.
Right to rectification - consists of the right to request the rectification of your personal data that are wrong / outdated or request that those incomplete data be completed.
Right to delete data or "right to be forgotten" - consists of the right to obtain the deletion of your personal data, as long as there are no valid and / or legitimate grounds for its conservation.

Auto Rent will have to implement technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk in order to avoid accidental or unlawful destruction, loss and alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access to personal data.
It is necessary to take into account the potential vulnerabilities of the system and to forecast the impact that these may have on the holders in order to assess the risks and define the most appropriate control measures.
After the impact assessment, the result of this should influence the measures that are adopted depending on what the Rent-a-car understands as appropriate, namely through the following mechanisms:
Pseudonymisation means the processing of personal data in such a way that it can no longer be allocated to a specific data subject without the use of additional information. This treatment requires that such supplementary information be maintained separately and subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that personal data can not be attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person. It is a privacy enhancement technique, although it does not exclude the application of other possible data protection measures.
In the event of a breach of data and to the extent that such breach is likely to pose a high risk to the rights and freedoms of the User, Auto Rent undertakes to report the breach of personal data to the User in question within 72 hours from the knowledge of the incident.
Under legal terms, communication to the User is not required in the following cases:
