6. What are my rights?

6.1. Guaranteed fair and lawful treatment

Your personal data is always processed in accordance with the legitimate purposes explained in point 4. It is collected and processed in an adequate, relevant and non-excessive manner, and is not retained for any more time than necessary to achieve the intended purposes.

All technical and security measures have been taken to minimise the risk of illegal or non-authorised access to or use of your personal data. In case of intrusion into its computer systems, Transurb SA will immediately take all necessary measures to reduce the damage to a minimum.

6.2. Right of access

If you are able to prove your identity, you have the right to receive information about the processing of your data. This means that you have the right to know the purpose of processing, the categories of the data concerned, the categories of the recipients to whom the data is transmitted, the criteria used to determine the data retention period and the rights that you can exercise on your data.

6.3. Right of rectification

Personal data which is incorrect or incomplete may be corrected. In a first instance, it is incumbent on the User to make the necessary changes themselves in his or her “user account”, but you can also make the request to us in writing.

6.4. Right to deletion (or “right to be forgotten”)

You have the right to have your data deleted under the following assumptions:

  • Your personal data is no longer necessary for the intended purposes;
  • You withdraw your consent to the processing, and there is no other legal basis for processing;
  • You have validly exercised your right to object;
  • Your data has been unlawfully processed;
  • Your data needs to be erased in order to comply with a statutory obligation;

Transurb SA decides by itself about the presence of the above criteria.

6.5. Right to the restriction of processing

Under certain circumstances, you have the right to request the restricted processing your personal data, especially in the case of opposition with regard to the accuracy of the data, if your data has been processed illegally, if the data is necessary in the context of a legal proceeding or the time it takes for Transurb SA to verify that you can validly exercise your right to deletion.

6.6. Right to object

You also have the right to oppose the processing of your personal data at any time. Transurb SA will stop processing your personal data unless it can demonstrate that there are imperative legitimate reasons in favour of processing that prevail over your right to object.

6.7. Right to Data portability

You have the right to receive all personal data that you have provided to us, in a structured format that is commonly used and is machine-readable. At your request, this data can be transferred to another provider, unless it is technically impossible.

6.8. Right to withdraw your consent

You can remove your consent to the processing of your personal data at any time. The withdrawal of your consent does not affect the validity of the processing operations prior to withdrawal.

7. How to exercise your rights?

To exercise your rights, you need to send us a request by email to contact@transurb.com. We will respond as quickly as possible, and at the latest one (1) month after receipt of the request.

8. Right to lodge a complaint

If you are not satisfied with the processing of your personal data by Transurb SA, you have the right to submit a complaint to the Commission for the Protection of Privacy, which became the Authority for the Protection of data on 25 May 2018 (https://www.privacycommission.be/).
