Rights of Data Subjects

705 guarantees its Clients the full exercise of the rights provided for in the GDPR. The data subject may, at any time, exercise the following rights:

  • Access to their personal data;
  • Rectification of incorrect or outdated data;
  • Erasure when applicable;
  • Limitation of processing, in certain circumstances;
  • Objection to processing, namely in direct marketing;
  • Data portability, in a structured and readable format;
  • Withdrawal of consent, when the processing is based on that legal basis.

The subject may exercise their rights by contacting the Data Protection Officer (DPO) through the e-mail dpo@teppe.com or by post to the institutional address indicated in this Policy. In accordance with Article 12 of the GDPR, if a request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, 705 may charge a reasonable administrative fee or refuse its processing, upon justification. Additionally, the data subject has the right to lodge a complaint with a competent Supervisory Authority, namely the National Data Protection Commission (CNPD), if they believe their rights have been violated. 705 will cooperate with the competent authorities, providing all relevant information within the scope of the exercise of its legal powers.

Retention Periods

705 retains the personal data of the subjects only during the period strictly necessary for the fulfillment of the purposes that motivated its collection, or during the time required by applicable legal or regulatory obligations. Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the data processed and the associated purpose, being defined based on legal, contractual, and operational criteria, respecting the principle of storage limitation established in the GDPR.

As a rule:

  • Data associated with the execution of contracts or the provision of services are kept as long as the contractual relationship lasts and for the legal period necessary for the defense of rights in court (up to 10 years after the end of the relationship, for compliance with tax and accounting obligations).
  • Data collected based on consent (for example, for sending marketing communications) are kept until the subject withdraws consent or exercises the right to object.
  • Data processed based on legitimate interest, when applicable, will be kept as long as that interest persists, assessed according to principles of necessity and proportionality.

Once the retention period has ended, the data will be securely deleted or anonymized, so that the subject can no longer be identified. 705 carries out periodic reviews of the data it holds, deleting or anonymizing those that prove unnecessary or outdated, in accordance with its internal retention policies and the guidelines of the National Data Protection Commission (CNPD).
