National Database Registry

Pursuant to the applicable laws in Argentina, ESSARP has registered its databases with the Dirección Nacional de Protección de Datos Personales (National Personal Data Protection Office), which is part of the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights Structure.

The Dirección Nacional de Protección de Datos Personales -DNPDP- is the Federal agency that was created to ensure an effective protection of personal data.

This agency is responsible for the Database Registry, designed to obtain and monitor data bases.
It assists and advises individuals by receiving claims and complaints against those responsible for the registries, files, databases or databanks in case of breach of information, access, correction, updating, deletion and confidentiality in the treatment and management of personal data.
In this regard, the purpose of the Registry is to investigate whether the database at issue complies or not with the principles set forth in the law and its regulatory provisions.

The DNPDP will inform you about:
    1. The existence of a database.
    2. Why a database collects data and what for what purpose.
    3. Name and address of the person responsible for the database.
