Introduction
The purpose of this manual is compliance with the legal, constitutional and jurisprudential provisions concerning the development of the constitutional right that all people have to know, update and rectify the information that has been collected about them in databases or files related to article 15 of the Political Constitution, as well as the right to information enshrined in article 20 of the same.
Law 1581 of 2012 developed “the constitutional right that all people have to know, update and rectify the information that has been collected about them in databases or files, and the other rights, freedoms and constitutional guarantees referred to in article 15 of the Political Constitution; as well as the right to information enshrined in article 20 of the same.” This constitutional right, known as habeas data, gives citizens the possibility of deciding and controlling the information that others have about them and, in that order of ideas, Law 1581 of 2012 establishes mechanisms and guarantees that allow the full exercise of the aforementioned right.
In compliance with the provisions of Law 1581 of 2012, CALIENTE TOURS S.A.S., as responsible for the processing of personal data and sensitive personal data of its affiliates, providers, suppliers and collaborators, has adopted the following Information Processing Policies, to guarantee that the processing of personal data and sensitive personal data complies with current legal provisions.
In summary, this manual establishes the policies and procedures through which the owner of personal data can exercise their rights related to the processing of their data and, in turn, the treatment that the controller must give to third-party data, as well as the mechanisms to enforce compliance with the duties of the controller. Likewise, some definitions are given regarding terms necessary for the correct application of the aforementioned policies, along with the principles on which the collection and processing of personal data is based

In accordance with the Law, in the event that the Processing does not respect constitutional and legal principles, rights, and guarantees, the Subjects or their representatives (such as parents exercising parental authority over an infant or adolescent) may request the revocation of the authorization granted for the Processing of their data, unless a legal or contractual provision prevents such revocation, indicating in that case the specific reasons why they consider that the situation of non-compliance with the aforementioned scope is occurring.
CALIENTE TOURS S.A.S., as controller or processor, as the case may be, must confirm receipt of the revocation request, including its date of receipt. The request may be objected to if, in the judgment of CALIENTE TOURS S.A.S., the grounds indicated by the Subject are not present or if such revocation implies an impact on the tracking or fulfillment of rights or obligations by the entity regarding the Subject, in which case it must inform the Subject in writing so they may take appropriate measures before the relevant authorities.
The request for revocation of authorization may be total or partial. It will be total when the revocation of all the purposes consented to through the authorization is requested; it will be partial when the revocation of some purposes is requested depending on the revocation request.
