Any data processor may not transmit the Data Subject’s data to other entities without CARVOEIRO GOLFE’s prior written authorization.

CARVOEIRO GOLFE shall only subcontract entities that demonstrate sufficient guarantees for the execution of adequate technical and organizational measures, in order to uphold the User’s rights.

This may include communicating your personal data to companies within the Pestana Group, when such communication is legally permissible.

If the User contracts with CARVOEIRO GOLFE for services that are rendered by other data controllers, the User’s personal data may be consulted or accessed by those data controllers, insofar as such is necessary for the rendering of said services.

The period during which the data is stored and retained varies according to the purpose for which it is processed. There are legal requirements that mandate data to be kept for a minimum period. Therefore, and whenever there is no specific legal requirement, data will be stored and kept only for the minimum period necessary to achieve the purposes for which it was collected and subsequently processed, after which it will be deleted.

When you contact us expressing an interest in one of our projects, your data will be processed for as long as is necessary to fulfil your requests and to comply with our legal data retention obligations.

In order to guarantee the security of the User’s personal data and its maximum confidentiality, CARVOEIRO GOLFE handles the information which has been provided with in an absolutely confidential manner, in accordance with its internal security and confidentiality policies and procedures, which are periodically updated according to its needs, as well as in accordance with legally mandated terms and conditions.

Depending of the nature, scope, context and purposes of data processing, as well as the risks for the User’s rights and freedoms arising from the processing, CARVOEIRO GOLFE undertakes to apply, both at the time of defining the means of processing and at the time of the processing itself, the necessary and adequate technical and organizational measures to protect the User’s data and to comply with any legal requirements.

CARVOEIRO GOLFE further undertakes to ensure that, as a principle, only necessary data for each specific processing purpose is processed and that such data is not made available without human intervention to an indefinite number of persons.

  • Pseudonymization and coding of personal data;

  • DATA TRANSFERS TO THIRD COUNTRIES

The processing operations associated with the Data Subject’s interaction with the Website shall not involve data transfers or the processing thereof outside the European Economic Area.

However, should it become necessary to transfer the User’s data outside the European Economic Area, for example, in the context of using certain providers of computer systems support services, CARVOEIRO GOLFE will implement the necessary measures to ensure that these transfers comply with applicable legislation, namely Chapter V of the GDPR, and that an essentially equivalent level of protection is guaranteed for the Data Subject’s personal data. This may be achieved, for example, by ensuring the existence of an Adequacy Decision of the European Commission relating to the destination country or by resorting to Standard Contractual Clauses and, if necessary, by implementing additional measures.

The right of access, the right to rectification, the right to erasure, the right to restriction of processing, the right to data portability, the right to object and/or the right to withdraw consent may be exercised by the User by contacting CARVOEIRO GOLFE through the platform made available at: https://pestanahotelgroup.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/5.

When the processing of the User’s personal data is carried out by CARVOEIRO GOLFE on the basis of the User’s consent, the User has the right to withdraw his/her consent at any time. The withdrawal of consent, however, does not compromise the lawfulness of the processing, carried out by CARVOEIRO GOLFE, based on the consent previously given by the User.

The table below contains a summary of the rights of the Data Subjects, as referred to in the paragraphs above.

 

Right of accessThe User can obtain confirmation as to whether his/her personal data are being processed, as well as access it, so that a copy of the personal data being processed is made available upon request, as long as no legal restrictions are applicable.
Right to rectificationThe User may request for inaccurate or incomplete personal data concerning him/her to be rectified or completed.
Right to erasureUnder the foreseen legal terms, the User may also, at any moment, request the elimination of personal data. CARVOEIRO GOLFE may refuse to grant such a request in certain situations, namely when the data is still necessary for the purpose that motivated the collection or when processing is required for the fulfilment of a legal obligation.
Right to restriction of processingThe Data Subject may obtain the restriction of processing when: a) the accuracy of the personal data is contested and its being verified; b) the processing is unlawful and the data subject requests limitation as an alternative to erasure; c) CARVOEIRO GOLFE no longer needs the data for its original purpose and the data is requested by the data subject for the purposes of declaring, exercising or defending a right in legal proceedings and; d) when the Data Subject has objected to the processing, until it is ascertained whether the legitimate interests of the controller override those of the data subject.
Right to data portabilityWhen the legal basis for data processing is consent or the performance of the contract, and there is processing by automated means, the Data Subject shall have the right to request the portability of their data. This right may not, however, adversely affect the rights and freedoms of third parties.
Right to objectWhen data is processed on the basis of legitimate or public interest, or for the purposes of direct marketing, the data subject shall have the right to object to the processing.
Right to withdraw consentWhen consent is the lawful basis for data processing, the User has a right to withdraw consent at any time. This does not, however, invalidate the lawfulness of processing carried out, until that moment, on the basis of previously given consent.

 

CARVOEIRO GOLFE will respond, in writing (including by electronic means), to the User’s request without unjustified delay and, in any case, within a maximum period of one month from the reception of the request, except in cases of special complexity or if there is a large amount of requests to respond to, in which case this period may be extended for up to two months.

If the requests made by the User are manifestly unfounded or excessive, especially due to their repetitive nature, CARVOEIRO GOLFE reserves the right to charge administrative costs or to refuse compliance with said requests.

Without prejudice to any other means of administrative or judicial recourse, the Data Subject has the right to file a complaint with the National Commission for Data Protection or with another competent supervisory or regulatory agency under the terms of the law, should they consider that their data is not being lawfully processed by CARVOEIRO GOLFE under the terms of applicable legislation and/or this Policy.

 

  • VIOLAÇÕES DE DADOS PESSOAIS

Additionally, CARVOEIRO GOLFE will communicate this data breach to the User when it is required by law or when CARVOEIRO GOLFE deems it to be relevant. Under the law, such a communication to the User is not required in the following cases:

  • In case CARVOEIRO GOLFE has implemented appropriate protection measures, both technical and organizational, to the personal data affected by the personal data breach, in particular those that render the personal data unintelligible to any person who is not authorized to access it, such as encryption;
  • In case CARVOEIRO GOLFE has taken subsequent measures ensuring that the high risk to the rights and freedoms of the User is no longer likely to materialize; or
  • In case a notification to the User would imply a disproportionate effort on behalf of CARVOEIRO GOLFE. In such a case, CARVOEIRO GOLFE will make a public communication or take a similar action by which the User will be informed.
