As a rule, Personal Data is required when the User requests contact or information and/or subscribes to newsletters, as well as when applying for job offers and/or submitting their portfolio. The Personal Data collected and processed consists of information relating to name and e-mail, although other Personal Data may be subsequently collected which may be provided by Users in their CVs or portfolios, or Personal Data that is necessary or appropriate for the provision of services by Saraiva + Associados. Through this Privacy Policy, Saraiva + Associados provides the User with detailed information on the nature of the data collected and the purpose and processing of the Personal Data. Saraiva + Associados also collects and processes information on hardware and software, as well as information on the pages visited by the User within the Site. This information may include: their browser type, domain name, access times and the hyperlinks through which the User accessed the Site (‘Usability Information’). We only use this information to improve the quality of the visit to our Site. In this Privacy Policy, the Usability Information and Personal Data are called ‘User Information’. SUBCONTRACTED ENTITIES To process the User Information, Saraiva + Associados uses or may use third-party entities, subcontracted to process the User Information on behalf of Saraiva + Associados and according to its instructions, in strict compliance with the law and this Privacy Policy. These subcontracted entities may not transfer the User Information to other entities. Saraiva + Associados promises to only subcontract entities that provide sufficient guarantees of suitable technical and organisational measures that ensure User rights are protected. All the entities subcontracted by Saraiva + Associados are bound by a written agreement governing, in particular, the purpose and duration of the processing, the nature and aim of the processing, the type of personal data, the categories of the data subjects, and the rights and obligations of the parties. When personal data is collected, Saraiva + Associados provides the User with information on the categories of subcontracted entities that, in this context, may process data on behalf of Saraiva + Associados. DATA COLLECTION CHANNELS Saraiva + Associados may collect data directly (i.e. directly from the User) or indirectly (i.e. through partners or third parties). This may be done through the following channels: Direct collection: in person, by telephone, by e-mail and/or through the Site; Indirect collection: through partners or companies in the group and official entities. GENERAL APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES FOR PROCESSING USER INFORMATION In terms of general principles relating to the processing of personal data, Saraiva + Associados promises to ensure that the User Information it processes is: Processed in a lawful, fair, and transparent manner as regards the User; Collected for specific, explicit, and legitimate purposes and not processed subsequently in a manner that is incompatible with these purposes; Suitable, relevant, and limited to what is necessary for the reasons behind its processing; Accurate and up-to-date wherever necessary, with all the suitable measures being taken to ensure that inaccurate information is immediately deleted or corrected, bearing in mind the reason it is being processed; Stored in a way that only allows the User to be identified during the period necessary to fulfil the purposes behind its processing; Processed in a manner that ensures its security, including protection from unauthorised or illegal processing and loss, destruction or accidental damage, with the suitable technical and organisational measures being adopted. The processing of data by Saraiva + Associados is legal if at least one of the following situations is observed: The User has given their explicit consent to process the User Information for one or more specific purposes; The processing is necessary for concluding an agreement to which the User is party or for pre-contractual measures at the User’s request; The processing is necessary for complying with a legal obligation to which Saraiva + Associados is subject; The processing is necessary for protecting the User’s vital interests or those of another natural person; The processing is necessary for the legitimate interests pursued by Saraiva + Associados or by third parties (unless the User’s interests or fundamental rights and freedoms take precedence and require the protection of their personal data). Saraiva + Associados promises to ensure that the User Information is only processed under the conditions listed above and with respect to the aforementioned principles. If the User Information is processed by Saraiva + Associados based on the User’s consent, the latter is entitled to withdraw their consent at any time. However, the withdrawal of consent does not compromise the lawfulness of the processing carried out by Saraiva + Associados based on consent previously given by the User. The period of time the data is stored and retained varies according to the purpose for which it is processed. Indeed, there are legal requirements that state that data must be kept for a minimum amount of time. Thus, provided there is no specific legal requirement otherwise, the data will be stored and retained only for the minimum period necessary for the purposes behind its collection and subsequent processing, at the end of which it will be deleted. USE AND PURPOSES OF USER INFORMATION PROCESSING Saraiva + Associados generally uses the User Information for the following purposes: Managing contact with the User; Sending newsletters or other information about products and/or services requested by the User; Recruitment and selection; Ensuring the Site meets the needs of the User, through the development and publication of content that is the most suitable possible to the type of User and their requests, improving the Site’s search capacity and functionality, and obtaining aggregated or statistical information on the User’s profile type (consumer profile analysis); Saraiva + Associados may combine Usability Information with anonymous demographic information for research purposes and may use the result of this combination to provide more relevant content on the Site. The User Information gathered by Saraiva + Associados is not shared with third parties without the User’s consent, with the exception of the situations referred to in the following paragraph. However, if the User procures services from Saraiva + Associados that are provided by other entities responsible for processing personal data, the User Information may be consulted or accessed by these entities, to the extent that this is necessary for providing the aforementioned services. In accordance with the applicable laws, Saraiva + Associados may transmit or communicate the User Information to other entities if this transmission or communication is necessary for implementing the agreement established between the User and Saraiva + Associados, or for pre-contractual measures at the User’s request, if this is necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which Saraiva + Associados is subject or if it is necessary for pursuing the legitimate interests of Saraiva + Associados or a third party. If User Information is transmitted to third parties, we will make reasonable efforts to ensure the recipient uses it in a manner that is consistent with our Privacy Policy. TECHNICAL, ORGANISATIONAL, AND SECURITY MEASURES IMPLEMENTED In order to ensure the security of the User Information and the utmost confidentiality, we process the information provided to us in a completely confidential manner, in accordance with our internal security and confidentiality policies and procedures, which are periodically updated as necessary, and in accordance with the legally established terms and conditions. According to the nature, scope, context, and purpose of the data processing, as well as the risks involved with respect to the rights and freedoms of the User, Saraiva + Associados promises to apply, when defining the processing means and during the processing itself, the suitable and necessary technical and organisational measures for protecting the User Information and complying with legal requirements. It also promises to ensure that, by default, only the data necessary for each specific processing purpose is processed and that this data is not made available to an unspecified number of people without human intervention. In terms of general measures, Saraiva + Associados adopts the following: Regular audits aimed at assessing the effectiveness of the implemented technical and organisational measures; Educating and training staff involved in data processing operations; Pseudonymisation and encryption of personal data; Mechanisms capable of ensuring the continuous confidentiality, availability, and durability of information systems; Mechanisms that ensure information systems are re-established and personal data accessed in a timely manner in the event of a physical or technical incident.

Saraiva + Associados promises to ensure that the transfer complies with the applicable laws, particularly with respect to determining the suitability of the country as regards data protection and the applicable requirements for such transfers.

If the User opposes the processing of their data for direct marketing purposes, Saraiva + Associados will cease processing the data for that purpose. The User also has the right not to be subject to any decision taken exclusively based on automated processing, including the definition of profiles, which produces legal effects concerning them or which significantly affects them in a similar way, unless the decision: Is necessary for concluding or implementing an agreement between the User and Saraiva + Associados; Is permitted by legislation to which Saraiva + Associados is subject; or is based on the explicit consent of the User.

Saraiva + Associados will respond in writing (including by electronic means) to the User’s request within a maximum of one month from receiving the request, except in particularly complex cases, when this time limit may be extended to two months.

PERSONAL DATA BREACHES If data is breached and insofar as this violation is likely to pose an increased risk to the rights and freedoms of the User, Saraiva + Associados promises to inform the User of the personal data breach in question within 72 hours of becoming aware of the incident. By law, it is not required to inform the User in the following cases: If Saraiva + Associados has taken adequate protection measures, both technical and organisational, and these measures have been applied to the personal data affected by the breach, especially measures that render the personal data incomprehensible to any unauthorised person who accesses it, such as encryption; If Saraiva + Associados has taken subsequent measures that ensure the heightened risk to the User’s rights and freedoms is unlikely to materialise; or if notifying the User requires unreasonable efforts on the part of Saraiva + Associados. In this case, Saraiva + Associados will make a public announcement or take similar steps to inform the User.
