I am definitely not saying that I am right, since this is Spanish law, but it does not indicate that the law sets out a time period for when either the information must be given the person requesting their information. Neither does it appear that there is a time limit set out for objection of releasing the information. The time limit that is set out is that of rectification, that when a person wants to rescind their consent to the gathering and storing of personal information that the data must be destroyed or, in essence, put into quarantine, ready for destruction following any possible litigation, within 10 days. Also, this seems to be not a matter for the police but for the Data Protection Agency.

It may be that the Agency gives the person requesting the information the ability to write in their demand letter that the information needs to be submitted by a certain date. This is even common in the US, when a matter is time sensitive and you put it in the letter that would indicate to the recipient that it is important and should strive to meet that deadline. But I just don't see a 7-day and a 30-day time limit in the statute, at least not in the English translation of it.

Time period is a month.
Google translation:
The Regulation implementing Organic Law 15/1999, Article 29,
establishes that the person responsible within a month must
resolve the request for access and communicate it to the interested party

Article 29 appears to only be when it comes to matters that affect credit or creditworthiness.

Hecce:
I am reading the English translation. Article 29 title says:
Provision of information services on creditworthiness and Credit.
2. Processing is also allowed of personal data relating to the fulfillment or non-fulfilment of financial obligations provided by the creditor or by someone acting on his behalf. In such cases the data subjects shall be informed, within a period of thirty days from the recording, of those who have recorded personal data in files, with a reference to the data included, and they shall be informed of their right to request information on all of them under the conditions laid down by this Law.
I know that the English translation is not the official law, but it should be somewhat accurate. I never said that the 7 day and 30 days is not accurate but that it is not in the 15/1999. It could be any number of things. Just like in the US if Congress passes a law, the agency that enforces that law can make rules so that it is enforceable, and those rules may give the 30 and 7 day time frame. It could also be that the agency allows the person requesting the information to give a reasonable time frame in order to get the information and that as long as it is reasonable, the agency will enforce it. But it appears that Article 29 only applies to data that is collected for creditworthiness.

My understanding is that when they went to Bethel the time period was already gone. Once again I wish that the involved will show up and explain this matter.
