12. RIGHTS OF THE OWNER

The GDPL ensures that the Owner of Personal Data can exercise their rights in relation to the controllers of their information at any time and upon request. The references below demonstrate how the Owner can exercise their rights and the means to obtain assistance.

Confirmation of the existence of Processing and Access to Personal Data. The Owner may request that Komatsu confirms whether it processes their Personal Data, and request that Komatsu informs them of the Personal Data it holds about them. In this case, Komatsu will demonstrate the categories of personal data; and for how long the Personal Data will be stored.

Data portability to another service or product provider. The Data Subject may request that Komatsu transmit the Personal Data it holds to another Data Controller, ensuring that it is transmitted with the appropriate level of security, respecting Komatsu's trade and industrial secrets.

Information on the entities with which Komatsu has shared or currently shares data. The Data Subject may request that Komatsu provide information regarding the sharing of Personal Data with third parties.

Correction of incomplete data. If the Owner finds that their personal data is incomplete, inaccurate, or outdated, they may request that Komatsu correct or supplement the Personal Data.

Information regarding the possibility of not providing consent. If consent is required to use a particular product or service, the Data Subject may request that Komatsu clarify whether it is possible to provide that product or service without consent for the Processing of their Personal Data, or what the consequences are of not providing consent in this case.

Anonymization, blocking, or deletion of unnecessary, excessive, or illegally processed data. If any personal data is processed unnecessarily, excessively for its intended purpose, or in violation of the GDPL, the Owner may request that Komatsu anonymize, block, or delete such data, provided that the excess, lack of necessity, or violation of the law is effectively verified. To the extent technically feasible, Komatsu will anonymize Personal Data and observe the minimization of Handled Personal Data.

Revocation of Consent. The Owner may, at any time, request the revocation of the Consent given for the Processing of their Data. Komatsu will contact and communicate with other organizations where Personal Data is being processed, in order to stop the processing of information as requested by the Owner. Revoking consent may result in the termination of services provided, but it does not prevent the use of anonymized data and data whose processing is based on another legal basis provided for in the GDPL.

Complaint to the National Authority. Through the ANPD (National Data Protection Authority), the Owner will be able to file a complaint with the ANPD regarding their Personal Data. If the Owner has any complaints or questions regarding the processing of data, they may contact us through one of the channels indicated at the end of this section below, and we will be available to assist them with the matter.

Deletion of Personal Data. If the Owner has given consent to the processing of their personal data for specific purposes (and not necessary for the provision of our services or delivery of our products), they may request the deletion of this personal data. Please note that if the retention/storage of Personal Data is due to situations such as legal or regulatory obligation, this data may be retained/stored regardless of the Data Subject's Consent, as an exceptional case of Processing.

Opposition to Handling, if irregular. The Owner may object to the Handling of their Personal Data if it is found to be unlawful. Komatsu will take appropriate measures without undue delay in the event of a dispute regarding the processing of data, in whole or in part.

Review of automated decisions. The Owner may question decisions made solely on the basis of personal data processed automatically that affect their interests, such as decisions intended to define their personal, professional, consumer and credit profile or aspects of their personality, as well as know what criteria and procedures are used for the automated decision, respecting commercial and industrial secrets.

Should the Owner wish to exercise any of these rights, the Customer must provide our contact information so that the Owner can contact us via our email address: https://www.komatsu.com.br/source/lgpd.php or directly with our DPO, whose contact information is available on our website under the Contact icon. To ensure exercising of the Owner's rights, we may request proof of identity as a security measure and to prevent fraud.

The Owner may exercise the rights described above from the date that the GDPL comes into effect.

13. RESPONSIBILITY

Some Personal Data may be shared with and received by Komatsu through our business partners for the execution and/or quotation of services and sales. In this case, Komatsu will act as a Personal Data Processor, meaning that Komatsu will have access to and process the data only and exclusively in accordance with the instructions of the business partner as established in the contract. In accordance with the GDPL, the Controller and the Processor have joint and several liability regarding its Handling and therefore adopt sufficient technical and administrative measures to keep the data secure.

14. CONSENT

Due to some handling purposes involving the need for Owner consent, each party must obtain such consent for subsequent processing and handling. The Customer must obtain the consent, as applicable, of each Owner regarding the purposes established in this Privacy Policy for the provision of Komatsu services, in accordance with the data categories informed in item 5, and for the purposes foreseen in item 7.

15. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY
