Such data may be obtained by filling a form either electronically or in paper. The consent given by the Clients may be withdrawn at any moment, free from any charge. There is, however, a set of data that is essential for ABS97 to supply its services (mandatory data), and such is informed to the Clients, as well as the consequences of the absence of such data. Having said that, ABS97 reserves to itself the right to not supply their services to the Clients who do not provide, or provide in insufficient quantity or quality, the mandatory data, with the addition that the Clients assume total responsibility for the insufficiency or errors in the data provided.

CLIENT'S RIGHTS REGARDING THEIR PERSONAL DATA

According to the GDPR, it is given to the Client, as owner of its Personal Data, and free from any charge, the right to access, correct, update and eliminate their personal data. In any of the above-mentioned cases, the Client may apply its rights by sending its intention in a written format, to the email present in our website, addressing it to the Data Protection Officer (DPO).

The treatment of the data is essential to the execution of a quotation request or to provide detailed information of a particular product.
