7. Data Owner Rights.
   
   The Group companies must allow interested parties to exercise the rights that apply in each location, establishing, for this purpose, the internal procedures that are necessary to satisfy, at least, the legal requirements applicable in each case. SOFTTEK also undertakes to respect at least the following rights:
   
   
   • Right of access. The right of the data subject to obtain information on whether his/her own personal data is being processed, the categories of data being processed, the purpose of the processing, available information on the origin of the data when the data was not originally received from the data subject, the period of retention of the data and any communications made or planned to be made.
   • Right of Rectification. Right of the data subject to correct or modify any personal data that is found to be inaccurate or incomplete. The applicant's request must indicate what data it refers to and the correction that must be made.

   • Right to data portability. Right of the data owner to receive the data provided (name, surname, postal and email address, telephone number, Identification Document Number), in a structured and commonly used format, data that has been obtained with express consent or in a contract, and of which the treatment is carried out by automated means. Furthermore, the owner may authorize the data to be transmitted directly to another party if this is technically possible.

   The properties common to all these rights are:

   1. Very personal rights: This means that they can only be exercised by the owner of the data, by his legal representative, in the case of minors or people with disabilities, or by his voluntary representative specifically designated to exercise any of these rights. Therefore, SOFTTEK will deny the exercise of these rights if they are requested by a person who is not the owner of the data or who does not adequately certify that they are acting on their behalf.
   2. Independent rights: This means that it is not necessary to exercise any of them previously to exercise another, each one is exercised separately and independently.
   3. Obligations: SOFTTEK undertakes to facilitate the exercise of these rights to those affected and to respond to their request within the legally established deadlines, regardless of the procedure used by the interested party and even if the person responsible for the file does not have personal data of said data owner, this person must be able to support the response to the applicant.
   4. Procedure: The exercise of these rights must be carried out through simple and free procedures that SOFTTEK must make available to interested parties.
   5. Claims before the Control Authority: If a right request cannot be attended to, SOFTTEK must communicate the reasons for not acting and the possibility of filing a claim with the Control Authority. This notification must be made within the deadlines established by the legislation of the country where the claim is presented or, in cases where no deadlines are established, a maximum of one month from receipt of the request.
      
      
8. Personal data processing purposes.
   
   The collection, processing, and use of personal data within SOFTTEK is only permitted for the following purposes:
   
   
   1. Processing of customer data for a contractual relationship. The personal data of our potential clients, customers, partners, and suppliers may be processed only to establish a commercial or contractual relationship, manage it over time, execute or comply with contractual, tax and/or accounting obligations, as well as resolve a contract. Thus, personal data may be processed to:
      1. Track pre-sales and sales activities. To improve user service procedures and update the catalog of products and services, understanding the way in which the user interacts with the Repsol group, as well as detecting their degree of satisfaction.
      2. To prepare offers or orders. To send commercial information about activities, products, and services, as well as to have fluid communication with our clients and to be able to provide the best offer or service.
      3. To send commercial information. Identify the people who represent the client or who intervene as contacts for the purposes of contracting. This treatment is only applicable in the case where the client is a legal entity.
      4. For the execution of contracts with suppliers and clients. There are a series of treatments that are necessary for the execution and development of contractual relationships. Without the processing of personal data for these purposes, the existence of said contractual relationships would not be possible because it is inherent to it. Develop, control and maintain the contractual relationship, manage the signature even through electronic signature platforms including the issuance of an electronic signature certificate, carry out and manage the transactions that have been contracted, contact, billing, collection and debt management, services customer service (even with the possibility of recording telephone calls), sending non-commercial information related to the contract and managing complaints, requests, suggestions and attention to possible incidents.
      5. For compliance with legal obligations. Customer data may be processed according to the legitimate basis for processing. Sometimes, the basis that legitimizes the processing is the fulfillment of contractual obligations or the fulfillment of a legal obligation, as is the case of data processing for accounting and tax purposes; In other cases, the treatment will be legitimized solely based on consent. In such cases, before the client or potential client consents, they must be informed according to the privacy and data protection policy. The declaration of consent must be obtained electronically or in writing for the purposes of management, conservation, and traceability of consent. In some circumstances, such as telephone conversations, consent can be given verbally. In these cases, SOFTTEK recommends the use of call recording systems.
      6. Treatments of general interest. These Treatments are necessary to fulfill a mission carried out in the public interest. Specifically, they are Treatments aimed at guaranteeing security conditions and avoiding the commission of illegal acts. Such as: Capturing images through security cameras for facility security purposes and other security actions or Managing complaints or internal investigations due to violation by the Interested Party of internal regulations or the Code of Ethics, which implies management of the file and the consultation of the areas that are necessary for this.
      7. For advertising and marketing/communication purposes. To maintain the relationship with the client by registering new products, improving the conditions of the products and/or services that have been contracted and offering information about similar products and/or services that may be of interest to the client. Cases like:
         1. If the interested party contacts SOFTTEK to request information (for example, a request to receive advertising material about a product), data processing is permitted to fulfill this request.
            
            The specific instructions and policies adopted by SOFTTEK must be followed for the different advertising actions and use of means of contact with potential customers, given that advertising actions are subject to additional legal requirements.
         2. The data may be processed for advertising, market, or opinion purposes, if the data has been collected with valid consent and for these specific purposes. Any potential client or client must be informed about the use of their data for advertising purposes.
         3. In the case of planning any action related to advertising campaigns or communication to potential professional contacts (professional contacts in their capacity as representative or point of contact of a client or potential client), you will be asked for consent to process the data for advertising purposes. and advertising during the first communication. If the interested party rejects the use or does not authorize the use of their data for advertising purposes, these data can no longer be used for such purposes and their use must be blocked.
            
            
   2. Processing of customer data for the fulfillment of SOFTTEK's legitimate interests. Personal Data may also be processed if it is necessary to:
      1. Fulfill the legitimate interests of SOFTTEK. Legitimate interests are generally legal in nature (i.e. collection or recovery of amounts owed) or satisfaction surveys for the improvement of products and services.
         1. Personal data cannot be processed based on a legitimate interest of SOFTTEK if there is evidence that the interests and rights of an individual person prevail over the legitimate interests of SOFTTEK.
         2. Therefore, the application of SOFTTEK's legitimate interest as a legitimate basis for processing is not always appropriate. For each case, an analysis of the prevalence between the legitimate interests and the rights of the people must be carried out.
      2. Historical Archive. Keep an archive of activities in the face of possible responsibilities or as historical memory for the time defined by law.
      3. Automated individual decisions. This is data processing carried out in an automated manner, used to evaluate certain aspects (for example, solvency), this type of data processing must be communicated to the interested party.
      4. Processing of data derived from accesses and visits to a website. If personal data is collected, processed, and used on websites or applications, interested parties must be informed of these purposes in a privacy statement and, where appropriate, in a cookie use policy. This information must be easily identifiable, directly accessible, and constantly available to interested parties. If tracking profiles are created to evaluate the use of websites and applications, data subjects should always be informed. Monitoring can only be carried out if it is permitted by the country's legislation or with the consent of the interested party.
   3. Processing data of employees, former employees, and candidates. At SOFTTEK we carry out various data processing derived from the relationship with our employees, thus, we use personal data to:

      For certain data processing needs, especially sensitive data will be needed, such as health data, for the management of health treatments and the prevention of occupational risks. 
      
      We may also process employee data within SOFTTEK's corporate management, in accordance with authorizations granted by national authorities regarding international transfers and protection of personal data.

    • To certain SOFTTEK companies to fulfill the contracted purposes. In all cases, the international transfer will be made with appropriate safeguards and on condition that the individuals have enforceable rights and effective legal remedies. With all of them there are Standard Contractual Clauses (also called "SCC" or "Standard Corporate Rules") signed between the members of the group to ensure compliance with the regulations of each country regarding Personal Data Protection.
