CIGO undertakes to process your data in accordance with the law and in a legitimate manner.

CIGO's services are not aimed at minors and no personal data of minors is processed intentionally.

7 - What are cookies?

Cookies are small information files that help identify your browser and can store information such as user settings and preferences.

CIGO will store cookies on your device to personalise and facilitate browsing as much as possible, but also for troubleshooting, statistics, quality assurance and to monitor system security.

With the exception of cookies specifically necessary for the performance of the website, the storage of other cookies will always depend on the User's acceptance and consent, which may be withdrawn at any time through specific browser tools.

8 - What are pixel tags and other similar technologies?
Pixel tags (also known as web beacons and clear GIFs) may be used in connection with some services to, for example, track the actions of users of the services (including email recipients), measure the success of our marketing campaigns and compile statistics on the use of the Services and response rates.
9 - How do we protect your Personal Data?

Your personal data is kept secure through the adoption of various technical and organisational security measures that guarantee that only Employees and the processes that must access it have access to personal data, in accordance with the rules created for this purpose.

To protect your personal data we only use data centre providers that offer us adequate and documented security measures, namely guarantees that your personal data is stored on servers that are kept in controlled environments with limited access.

Personal data is kept on secure servers, with adequate security guarantees to protect personal data against unauthorised disclosure, loss, misuse, alteration, processing or access, as well as against any other form of unlawful processing.

Likewise, when you browse the WEBSITE, we protect your data with encryption, such as Transport Layer Security (TLS, a security protocol that protects telecommunications via the Internet). and your password is stored using a one-way hash, i.e. it cannot be retrieved (or disclosed) by anyone, including CIGO, and can only be reset.

Although we take the care and precautions we deem appropriate to protect the personal data you provide and we collect, you should realise that no security system is impenetrable.

You should therefore take certain precautions, such as keeping your password secret and not divulging it to anyone else; if you believe that your password has been misused, you should notify us immediately; you should also take care to log in and log out every time you close your browser.

10 - How long do we keep your Personal Data?

Your personal data will be kept for as long as necessary for the purposes for which they are intended, as listed in this Privacy Policy. Thus:

PURPOSE TIME

So that we can send you newsletters or other publications that you have requested and/or that may be of interest to you; 1 year
For the operations and management of the WEBSITE; 1 year
To keep track of your contact details; 1 year

If a specific or obligatory period is stipulated by law, this will be the data retention period. In all other cases, personal data will be kept for a maximum of the periods indicated above, periods that CIGO considers to be sufficient to fulfil the purposes.

At the end of the retention period, all personal data collected will be deleted.

11 - How you can exercise your rights:

Before we explain how you can exercise your rights, you should know what they are. The law gives you the right to ask us to exercise the following rights:

  • PortabilityThe right to receive personal data concerning you in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority (in Portugal, the National Data Protection Commission in www.cnpd.pt)

In order to exercise the above rights, you should contact CIGO using the appropriate contact form.

If you ask us to delete some or all of your personal data, some of the services you have requested may not be provided and CIGO will retain the personal data necessary to fulfil the legal obligations to which it is bound.

12 - When do we communicate data to third parties?

CIGO may use third parties to provide certain services, in terms of maintenance, technical support, marketing, invoicing or payment management, and these may have access to some of the personal data, namely the data necessary for the contracted purposes.

CIGO ensures that the entities that have access to the data are credible and offer high guarantees of protection, never transmitting data to them beyond what is necessary for the provision of the contracted service, although CIGO remains responsible for the personal data made available.

CIGO may also transmit data to third parties in the context of investigations, enquiries and judicial and/or administrative proceedings or of a similar nature, provided that it is duly ordered to do so by a court order.

13 - Third-party websites

The WEBSITE may contain links to other websites which may collect and process your personal data, and this processing is the sole responsibility of the owners of these websites, with CIGO having no responsibility for their policies and/or practices.

14 - Data transfers outside the European Union

In the event that data is transferred to third countries that do not belong to the European Union, CIGO will comply with the legal rules, particularly with regard to the suitability of the country of destination for the protection of personal data and the requirements that apply to such transfers, and personal data will not be transferred to jurisdictions that do not offer guarantees of security and protection.

15 - Minors
The WEBSITE is not aimed at minors under the age of 16, so we ask that minors do not provide us with personal data through the WEBSITE, application, social networks and social media or emails.
16 - Sensitive personal data
