  • Know, update, and rectify your Personal Data: To do this, we need to first establish the identification of the person who intends to exercise this right to prevent unauthorized third parties from accessing your Personal Data. If you are going to update your Personal Data, we must first verify that you have access to the new Personal Data that you will provide us. Therefore, we will implement a mechanism that allows us to verify this. If we are unable to verify them, you will only be able to update one of your contact details (email, telephone, bank account, among others). This is because we need to maintain a direct communication channel with you to comply with our contractual obligations and you with yours. In any case, for technical reasons and for the development of the products and services offered, there may be limitations regarding the change of any of the personal data such as email or telephone, for which reason we may not comply with the update request, and you will be within your right to request the deletion of your personal data.

  • Request proof of the Authorization granted: unless it is a case in which authorization is not necessary, according to current legislation.

  • Be informed: upon request, regarding the use of your Personal Data.

  • Revoke the authorization and/or request the deletion of your Personal Data: In this case, we will delete your personal data according to the deletion policy when this is possible.

  • Access free of charge to your Personal Data: that has been subject to Processing.

  • Please refrain from answering questions about Sensitive Data or data of children and adolescents: In this case, we will inform you that you are not required to provide authorization for the Processing of Sensitive Data or data of children and adolescents.

  • The request for deletion of information and revocation of the Authorization will not proceed: when you have a legal or contractual obligation to remain in the El Dorado Database.

  • El Dorado assures you that direct marketing or market research you receive by email will provide you with an easy means to opt out: For example, in the email, El Dorado will provide you with an "unsubscribe" link or an email to submit an opt-out request.
