Articles 8, 13, 14 and 21 of the GDPR
Your privacy is important to us.
This website is part of CFA – Cravo, Fortes, Antão & Associados SROC, Lda., hereinafter referred to as CFA. This privacy notice explains how we use the personal information we collect about you when you use this website.
CFA respects your preferences regarding the collection and use of your Personal Data.
“Personal Data” refers to information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“Data Subject”); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, online identifiers, or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.
CFA respects your preferences concerning the processing of Personal Data it collects. This Policy (“Policy”) informs you about how CFA collects and uses your Personal Data, how you can control its use, and describes our practices regarding information collected through other sites that link to or refer to this Policy (such as websites, software applications, social networks, and electronic messages), as well as offline marketing and sales activities (collectively, “Communication Channels”).
The Communication Channels may provide links to other platforms outside the CFA network. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of those websites, services, social networks, or applications before providing your Personal Data.
We do not collect any personal information about you on our website.
We kindly ask that you do not send or share with CFA any sensitive personal information such as racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership, as well as genetic data, biometric data, health-related data, or data concerning sexual life or sexual orientation.
Website usage information is collected through cookies, but it does not specifically identify you. The following data may be collected:
IP address;
Geographical location;
Information about the device used to access the website, namely browser type and version, operating system, screen resolution, preferred language, information contained in HTTP headers, and user agent version;
Search engine used to locate and access the website;
Date and time of activity on the website, as well as webpages and content visited and clicked.
It is important to emphasize that this usage information does not deliberately identify you, and if, in exceptional cases, it does, it will be immediately anonymized.
By providing information, you are giving your informed and unequivocal consent for the automated processing of your personal data.
Some of the requested data are mandatory, and such fields will be identified. Failure to provide them or the inaccuracy of the information supplied may compromise the service provided.
The data collected is used to manage your use of the website and to provide information about other products and services that we believe may be of interest to you.
We use the information collected from the website to personalize your future visits. CFA does not share your information for marketing campaigns with companies outside the group, nor does it transfer your Personal Data to a third country.
Although the information provided is generally treated as private at CFA, the data collected will be used in accordance with personal data protection regulations throughout the processing period. However, it may be necessary to privately transfer Personal Data to other authorities, including judicial bodies. In processing your request, we may also send your data to, and use information from, credit reporting and fraud prevention agencies.
You have the right to lodge a complaint with a European Union Supervisory Authority regarding the protection of your Personal Data. CFA will cooperate with the Supervisory Authority by providing all information requested within its regulatory powers.
The information collected on this website does not involve automated decision-making, including profiling.
No comparisons, interconnections, or any other form of linking of recorded information are performed on this website.
Because your data may travel over an open network, there is a risk that it could be viewed or used by unauthorized third parties.
CFA only accepts information requests from users who are at least 16 years old. CFA’s Communication Channels are not directed at underage users. If you become aware of any registration by a minor, please notify us so we can promptly remove their record.
We will not share your personal data.
We aim to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the information we hold about you.
We rely on the Data Subject to provide accurate and complete information and to update any data in relation to changes in the information provided.
The Data Subject has the right to withdraw their consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent previously given. They also have the right to request from CFA access to the Personal Data concerning them, as well as its rectification or erasure, the restriction of processing concerning the User, the right to object to processing, and the right to data portability.
Personal Data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the User is a party, for compliance with legal obligations to which the Data Controller is subject, and those necessary for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by CFA are not included in the previous paragraph.
Subject to legal or regulatory provisions to the contrary, Personal Data will be retained only for the minimum period necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or subsequently processed, after which it will be deleted, or, if of interest to CFA, processed for statistical purposes in an anonymized manner so that the Data Subject cannot be identified.
Further processing of Personal Data for a purpose other than that for which the data were collected requires consent. Before such processing, the Data Controller will provide the Data Subject with information about that purpose and any other relevant details.
You have the right to request a copy of the information we hold about you. If you wish to request a partial or complete copy of your information held by CFA, please email us at geral@cfa-sroc.pt
or write to Rua Cristóvão de Pinho Queimado, nº 5, 2.º Dt., 3800 – 012, Aveiro.
If requests submitted by the Data Subject are manifestly unfounded or excessive, particularly due to their repetitive nature, CFA may, under the applicable legal framework, require the payment of a reasonable fee considering the administrative costs of providing the information or communication, or of taking the requested measures, or may refuse to act on the request.
