DATA COLLECTED BEFORE THE ISSUANCE OF DECREE 1337 OF 2013
Article 10 of Regulatory Decree 1337 of 2013, which regulates Law 1581 of 2012, provides the following:
“For data collected before the issuance of this decree, the following must be considered:
1. The data controllers must request authorization from the data subjects to continue processing their personal data as established in Article 7 of this decree, using efficient communication mechanisms, as well as informing them of data processing policies and the way to exercise their rights.
2. For the purposes of numeral 1, efficient communication mechanisms will be considered those that the controller or processor uses in the ordinary course of their interaction with the data subjects registered in their databases.
3. If the mechanisms mentioned in numeral 1 impose a disproportionate burden on the controller, or it is impossible to request consent from each data subject for the processing of their personal data and inform them of the data processing policies and how to exercise their rights, the controller may implement alternative mechanisms for the purposes set out in numeral 1, such as widely circulated national newspapers, local newspapers or magazines, the controller’s website, informational posters, among others, and inform the Superintendence of Industry and Commerce within five (05) days following their implementation.
To determine when there is a disproportionate burden on the controller, the following factors will be taken into account: economic capacity, number of data subjects, the age of the data, territorial and sectorial scope of the controller’s operations, and the alternative communication mechanism to be used, so that requesting consent from each data subject implies excessive costs that could jeopardize the controller’s financial stability, the performance of its business activities, or the viability of its planned budget.
It will also be considered impossible to request consent from each data subject for the processing of their personal data and inform them of the data processing policies and how to exercise their rights when the controller does not have contact data for the subjects, either because such data is not in their files, records, or databases, or because it is outdated, incorrect, incomplete, or inaccurate.
4. If, within thirty (30) business days from the implementation of any of the communication mechanisms described in numerals 1, 2, and 3, the data subject has not contacted the controller or processor to request the deletion of their personal data as per the terms of this Decree, the controller and processor may continue processing the data contained in their databases for the purposes indicated in the data processing policy, which was made known to the data subjects through these mechanisms, without prejudice to the data subject’s right to exercise, at any time, their right to request the deletion of the data.
5. In all cases, the controller and processor must comply with all applicable provisions of Law 1581 of 2012 and this Decree. Additionally, the purpose or purposes of the processing must be the same, analogous, or compatible with those for which the personal data was initially collected.”
Considering the above and that Riwi S.A.S. is framed within the circumstances set out in numeral 3 of Article 10 of Regulatory Decree 1337 of 2013, the respective privacy notice was posted on the official website, informing the data subjects of the existence of this privacy policy and stating that they had thirty (30) business days from the notice’s publication to request the deletion of their personal data. If no such request was made, Riwi S.A.S. could continue processing the personal data. This was done without prejudice to the data subjects’ right to exercise their right at any time and request the deletion of their data.
This procedure was reported to the Superintendence of Industry and Commerce, as required by the regulation.
