Policy

1. Privacy policy

Porto Digital, in the pursuit of its activity, is particularly concerned about the privacy of Users of its services, employees, social partners and the general public. Accordingly, it has adopted this document, which establishes the general terms and conditions applicable to the processing of personal data, including, among others, the rules relating to the collection, organisation, processing and use of any and all data made available by third parties to Porto Digital. With the adoption of this Privacy Policy, Porto Digital intends to ensure that the processing of personal data complies with the rules established in Regulation (EU) 2016/679 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on their free movement ('GDPR') and other applicable legislation on the protection of personal data, namely Law no. 58/2019, of 8 August, which ensures the implementation in the national legal order of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on their free movement ('GDPR'). º 58/2019, of 8 August, which ensures the implementation, in the national legal order, of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, as well as clarifying and informing all data subjects about these rules and their processing. The GDPR lays down the rules on the processing by a person, a company or an organisation of personal data relating to people in the European Union. It protects personal data regardless of the technology used to process it, and the protection is technology-neutral, meaning that it applies to both automated and manual processing, as long as the data is organised according to predefined criteria. For the same purposes, it is irrelevant how the data is stored - in a computer system, via video surveillance or on paper. In short: in all these situations, personal data is subject to the protection requirements of the GDPR and Law 58/2019 of 8 August.

2. Personal data

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual. An identifiable individual is any person who can be identified, directly or indirectly. Different pieces of information that together can lead to the identification of a particular person also constitute personal data. These identifying elements include, without prejudice to others: name and surname; specific elements of the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of the natural person; home address; e-mail address; identification numbers; location data; an IP (Internet Protocol) address; a cookie ID; bank account numbers; biometric data. The use of this website does not imply the delivery, storage or transfer of Users' personal data. Porto Digital does not carry out operations without consent on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether by automated or non-automated means, namely the collection, recording, organisation, structuring, conservation, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or any other form of making available, comparison or interconnection, limitation, erasure or destruction of the data of the User holder.

3. Cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website or related technology may store on a user's device. A cookie is not a programme that may contain harmful malware or viruses. Cookies help determine the usefulness, interest and number of uses of your sites, allowing for faster and more efficient browsing, eliminating the need to repeatedly enter the same information. The aforementioned legislation (GDPR and Law no. 58/2019) requires, as a rule, the User's prior, free, specific, informed and unequivocal consent for the installation of cookies that are not strictly necessary for the operation of the service. Porto Digital values User privacy and undertakes not to use cookies or other tracking technologies that identify its Users. By opting for a cookie-less approach, Porto Digital exceeds standard legal requirements, ensuring that no information is stored on your device for the purposes of analysis, functionality, advertising or tracking. The full functionality of our Services is ensured through alternative technologies that do not compromise the User's privacy. We use exclusively Plausible Analytics, an open-source analytics platform that does not use cookies and does not collect any personal data. Usage metrics are aggregated anonymously, making it impossible to identify or track individuals, and its data policy can be consulted here. For the purposes of statistically analysing visits, the website uses a privacy-focused analysis platform that does not use cookies and does not collect personal data. Any traffic measurement operation is carried out completely anonymously, based exclusively on aggregated usage data to understand the overall performance of the service provided. Functionalities that require a status to be maintained while browsing are managed using volatile session technologies, which are deleted as soon as the User's session ends and are not used to identify the User on future visits. Similarly, other website support tools, such as those used to generate QR codes, follow the same principles and do not store personal data or track user activity.
