How to Exercise ARCO Rights (Access, Rectification, Cancellation, and Opposition)

To exercise your ARCO Rights (Access, Rectification, Cancellation, and Opposition), it is necessary that you consider and understand the following:

• To process any request for access, rectification, cancellation, opposition, or to limit the use/disclosure or to request the revocation of consent for your personal data, you must prepare a written request and send it to Av. Fundadores 1001, Col. Alfareros, Monterrey, N.L., Mexico, C.P. 64753, or by email to datos.personales@autozone.com, Attention: Legal Department. 

• Any request to exercise ARCO Rights, whether physical or electronic, must be accompanied by the following:
  • The name of the Data Subject, address, and/or any other means to communicate the response to your request.

  • Documents proving the identity or, if applicable, the legal representation of the Data Subject.

  • A clear and precise description of the personal data for which you seek to exercise any of the aforementioned rights.

  • Any other element or document that facilitates the location of the Data Subject's data, as well as their RFC and/or CURP to avoid any homonymy.

  • Clearly specify if the request is for access, rectification, cancellation, opposition, limitation of use, disclosure, or revocation of consent.

  • The reason for the request.

  • The required modifications if the request is for the rectification of personal data, and provide the documentation supporting your request.

If the information provided in the ARCO Request is insufficient or erroneous to address it, or if the necessary documents are not attached to process it, ALLDATA Mexico will require the Data Subject or their representative within five business days of receiving the request, to provide the necessary elements or documents to process it. The Data Subject or their representative will have ten business days from the day following the receipt of the requirement to respond.

ALLDATA Mexico will respond to the request with the determination reached within twenty business days from the receipt of the request, or in case additional information or documents have been requested, within twenty business days from the day following the response to the requirement.

If the request is granted, ALLDATA Mexico will make the determination effective within fifteen business days from when the response is communicated to the Data Subject or their representative. In the case of requests concerning the right of access to personal data, delivery of such data will be made upon proof of identity of the Data Subject or their representative.

ALLDATA Mexico may extend the response periods to a request and/or to make the determination effective once for equal periods in each case, provided it considers that the circumstances of the case justify it. In such cases, ALLDATA Mexico will notify the Data Subject or their representative of the circumstances justifying the extension within each original period to respond or make the determination effective.

Responses to requests will be delivered to the Data Subject or their legal representative in simple copies or electronic files, depending on the type and quantity of documents involved in each case.

To revoke consent, the Data Subject must submit their request at the address of ALLDATA Mexico. ALLDATA Mexico will make such a request effective, provided it does not involve personal data necessary for the existence, maintenance, and fulfillment of its legal relationship with the Data Subject.

ALLDATA Mexico may deny access, rectification, cancellation, or opposition to the processing of personal data in the following cases:

• When the applicant is not the Data Subject or the legal representative is not duly accredited.

• When personal data is not found in its database.

• When the rights of a third party are affected.

• When there is a legal impediment or a resolution of a competent authority that restricts access to personal data or prevents its rectification, cancellation, or opposition.

• When rectification, cancellation, or opposition has been previously carried out.

Procedure to Revoke Consent for the Use of Your Personal Data

You can revoke the consent you may have granted for the processing of your personal data. However, it is important to consider that not all cases allow us to process your request or conclude its use immediately, as it is possible that we may require continuing to process your personal data for some legal obligation. Likewise, you should consider that for certain purposes, revoking your consent will mean that we cannot continue providing the service you requested or the conclusion of your relationship with us.

To express your refusal in this regard, you must contact ALLDATA Mexico through the procedure established for exercising ARCO Rights mentioned in the previous section.

Protection and Security Mechanisms

The security of your personal data is important to us; therefore, for information management and security measures, your personal data is processed through secure network systems and can only be accessed by a limited number of persons with special rights who are required to keep such information confidential.
