Privacy policy.

The controller of the personal data collected through this website is:

MONTIAN

Rui Miguel Monteiro

Email: contact@montian.pt

The following data may be collected through the contact form:

• Name;
• Company;
• Position;
• Email address;
• Information freely included by the user in the message field.

MONTIAN does not request through this website any personal data that is not necessary for the purpose of the services it provides. Users should avoid including in the message field sensitive personal information or other data that is not necessary in order to submit their enquiry.

The personal data collected through the contact form is processed in order to:

• respond to contact enquiries;
• understand the context, challenge or opportunity presented;
• establish professional contact following the enquiry;
• assess, where applicable, a possible provision of services;
• ensure the management and security of the website.

The data will not be used for purposes incompatible with those for which it was collected.

Personal data is processed on the legal basis applicable to each purpose, in particular where necessary for pre-contractual steps taken at the request of the data subject or for the pursuit of legitimate interests, whenever these prevail under the applicable legislation.

Where consent is the appropriate basis for a given processing operation, it will be requested in a specific and informed manner.

Consent is not presumed from the mere access to or use of the website. The CNPD stresses that consent is only one of the grounds of lawfulness provided for in the GDPR and should be used only where it is genuinely the appropriate legal basis.

The personal data collected through the contact form may be retained for the period necessary to manage the enquiry submitted, to maintain the professional relationship and, where applicable, to develop a pre-contractual or contractual relationship.

Where a professional or commercial relationship exists, the data may be retained for as long as it remains relevant to the management of that relationship and to following up on services or opportunities that may be relevant to the data subject, without prejudice to compliance with the applicable legal obligations.

The data will be erased or anonymised once it is no longer necessary for the purposes that justified its retention, except where there is a legal basis for keeping it.

The data subject may, in accordance with the applicable law, request the erasure of their data or object to its processing, including for direct marketing purposes, by writing to contact@montian.pt. Objection to direct marketing may be exercised at any time and without the need for justification.

Personal data may be processed by service providers and other third parties acting on behalf of MONTIAN, whenever their involvement is necessary for the operation of the website, the management of contact enquiries, the provision of services or the fulfilment of the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

Depending on the nature of the services provided, such third parties may include providers of hosting and technological infrastructure, email, form processing, management tools, administrative, accounting or technological services, or other specialised providers.

Whenever such third parties process personal data on behalf of MONTIAN, they will be selected in accordance with the applicable data protection requirements and will be subject to the obligations laid down in the applicable legislation, including, where required, the conditions applicable to processing on behalf of a controller set out in Article 28 of the GDPR.

MONTIAN may also engage other providers or professional partners in the course of providing its services. Access to personal data will be limited to what is necessary for the purpose in question and in accordance with the applicable confidentiality and data protection obligations.

MONTIAN does not sell or make available the personal data collected through this website to third parties for them to use for their own marketing purposes.

Under the applicable legislation, data subjects may, where the relevant conditions are met, exercise the rights of:

• access to their personal data;
• rectification of inaccurate or incomplete data;
• erasure of the data;
• restriction of processing;
• objection to processing;
• data portability, where applicable.

The CNPD confirms these rights and states that they should be exercised by addressing the controller through the channel made available for that purpose. Requests may be sent to:

contact@montian.pt

MONTIAN will respond to requests within the legally applicable time limits.

MONTIAN adopts appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against loss, destruction, alteration, unauthorised access or other forms of improper processing, taking into account the nature, scope, context and purposes of the processing carried out, as well as the associated risks.

The measures adopted are proportionate to the nature and scale of MONTIAN's activity, to the volume and nature of the data processed and to the risks that its processing may present to the rights and freedoms of data subjects.

These measures are reviewed and, where necessary, updated in line with the evolution of risks, of the technologies used and of the characteristics of the processing carried out.

The website may contain links to third-party websites or services.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to those websites, and we therefore recommend consulting their respective privacy policies before using them.

This Privacy Policy may be updated whenever necessary, in particular as a result of changes to the website, to the processing carried out or to the applicable legislation. The version published on this page corresponds to the version currently in force.

If you consider that the processing of your personal data infringes the applicable legislation, you may lodge a complaint with the Comissão Nacional de Proteção de Dados (CNPD), the national data protection supervisory authority in Portugal.
