Receipt will be acknowledged by e-mail indicating the date of receipt of the ARCO Request.

The receipt of an ARCO Request does not imply that it is declared admissible by STP. In the event that the information provided in the ARCO Request is insufficient or erroneous to process it, or if the necessary documents to process it are not provided, STP will require the Personal Data Subject or his/her representative, within 5 business days following the receipt of the ARCO Request, for a single time, to provide the necessary elements or documents to process it.
