Adelino Amaro da Costa nº 2 5ºD, 2530-109, Lourinhã, Portugal, handles your personal data provided through the website https://igarcia.pt or collected via forms, documents, or other means intended to facilitate contact.

We kindly ask you to read the following information carefully so that you can consciously decide to authorize the collection and consent to the processing of your personal data.

1. what is personal data?

Personal data is any information, of any nature and in any medium (e.g., text, sound, or image), relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.

An identifiable person is one who can be identified directly or indirectly, for example, through their name, identification number, location data, electronic identifier, or other elements that allow the identification of that natural person.

2. who are the holders of personal data?

The Client or User, a natural person to whom the data pertains and who has utilized the services of iGarcia. The Client is the person who enters into a contract with iGarcia, and the User is the person who uses the services or products of iGarcia, which may not correspond to the Client. For example:

– In the business segment, the contract/registration with iGarcia is in the company’s name, but the Users are the clients or employees of that company;

– In the private segment, a Client may acquire several products and services for themselves or another person, who then becomes the User.

iGarcia protects personal data and respects the rights of Clients and Users.

3. purpose of data collection and processing

It is the sole responsibility of the Client or User to ensure the accuracy and correctness of the data provided, as well as any data that may be provided in the future, which will be included in a file controlled by iGarcia for automated and computerized processing. This is to respond to the interest expressed in our services, manage information requests, provide services, and handle the consequent contractual relationship, or other activities related to our products and services.

Your data will also be processed to comply with applicable legal provisions, in accordance with Article 6.1.b of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council dated April 27, 2016, concerning the protection of natural persons regarding the processing of personal data and the free movement of such data (hereinafter referred to as the “GDPR”), or because we have a primary legitimate interest in the best possible distribution of our products in accordance with Article 6.1.f of the GDPR.

The Client is informed that the data provided, available, or to be made available in the future, may be used by iGarcia to send advertising about products, services, special offers, promotions, and marketing through various means (including electronic means like email, telephone, or SMS), in accordance with Article 6.1.f of the GDPR.

4. communication / transmission of data

You are also informed that the Client’s data may be communicated to other companies or entities—protocol partners, collaborators, and other public or private entities—to whom we delegate the provision of our services, namely entities with whom we maintain working relationships.

We only transfer your data to other recipients if it is necessary to fulfill a contract/registration with you, if we or the recipient have a legitimate interest in disclosing your data, or if you have provided your consent for such transfer.

In case of any changes to your data, please inform us in writing to keep your information updated.

If the Client does not wish for their data to be processed as described, they should communicate this in writing. The Client’s consent is understood to be granted until the contrary is duly communicated.

5. data retention period

Your personal information will be stored as long as the purpose and need for such storage persist.

Your personal data related to the execution of the contractual relationship will be stored during the term of the signed contract/service provided. After the termination of this contract/service, we will store your personal information only when required by national or EU laws, directives, or regulations, or if necessary to safeguard our legitimate interests.

6. Processing of Requests, Pre-Contractual Diligences, and Contracting Process

The data subject has the right not to authorize the collection and/or processing of data. However, this refusal, to the extent that it prevents the fulfillment of legal requirements to which iGarcia is obliged, results in the impossibility of providing the service.

Completing all fields in the forms is mandatory for the correct processing of the Client’s request; therefore, if you do not provide your information, your request/registration will not be accepted.

Similarly, providing iGarcia with your personal data is a necessary requirement for pre-contractual diligences and for entering into any contract, so in the event that they are not provided to iGarcia, the contract cannot be concluded.

7. Responsibility for Data Processing and Storage

The collected data will be processed and stored by iGarcia, which is the entity responsible for processing your personal data when filling out forms on the website, as well as other personal data that have been or may be provided in any other medium, directly or through others, or that have been generated by iGarcia, whether in the context of prior contacts or in the conclusion, execution, or termination of a service contract.

This responsibility for data processing and storage is transferable to partners related to the contract that the data subject has entered into through iGarcia.

8. security of personal data

iGarcia adopts appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful loss, destruction, or damage and to ensure that the data provided are protected against access or use by unauthorized third parties.

iGarcia strives to ensure the privacy and confidentiality of the information you provide. Nevertheless, there is always a residual risk resulting from its digital transmission and storage.
