CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY REPORT 2012
An example of this is to be found in the interview with
the director of the AEPD Mr. José Luis Rodríguez Álvarez
shown on the website of Informativos Telecinco which
attracted a large audience and many hits from browsers.
In this interview Mr. Rodríguez Álvarez emphasised among
other matters the risk involved in making personal data
available on the internet or the actions of the main search
engines as regards data storage and the right to forget.
II. Process of computerisation of data protection
management.
The initiative to automate all of the processes relating
to compliance with the regulations under the Data
Protection Act was successfully completed last year with
the creation of the hierarchical structure of the group and
its subsidiaries which speeded up management and made
it more flexible. Thus the Information Security Area has
been reinforced with a new incorporation the purpose
of which is to increase, if that is indeed possible, the
efficiency already achieved, bringing it to public attention
that personal data is being given greater protection all
the time.
The new measures laid down last year for all companies
of the group and their centralised management, as well as
the involvement and co-ordination of the different areas
which work in the Data Protection Unit, have provided
greater rigor and practicality. This has allowed good
formal communication with the AEPD and the detection
of possible irregularities correctable in record time.
368 requests from users concerning their personal data in
exercise of their Arco rights (access, rectification, cancella-
tion and opposition) were correctly attended to in 2012.
III. Success in the handling and procedures
of alleged infringement of rights.
The strict internal procedures on matters of data
protection in existence in the Mediaset España Group,
centralised in the Data Protection Unit, are an effective
tool in compliance with applicable regulations and the
reduction of legal disputes in such matters.
To the fact that no claim has been presented against any
of the companies of the group in 2012 must be added
the decisions in favour of Mediaset España given in the
same period.
The Participation Department of Conecta
5 and the Data Protection Unit of Mediaset
ensure that the exercise of rights is attended
to quickly and in the correct form.
