What kind of personal information do we collect?
We may ask for personally identifiable information when you request a service, respond to a survey, take part in a competition, exchange correspondence with us or participate in certain other activities. You decide whether you want to proceed with any activity that requests personal information. However, if you do not want to provide the personal information requested, you may not be able to complete the transaction. Similarly, when you visit our websites, we will collect information known as ‘clickstreams’ (IP address, domain name, etc.). This information, combined with the data you have provided us, lets us better personalise your visits.
How do we use the information we collect?
We use personal information in the following ways:
1. To provide you with information about product updates, new products, services, newsletters, information emails and surveys about ideas for future products or improvements;
2. To help us create content relevant to you;
3. To provide you with special offers that may be of interest to you;
4. To help us create better products and services that meet your needs;
5. To allow you to download documents, access services or engage in other activities that you select;
6. To help you quickly find software, services or information about products that matter to you.
How do we protect your personal information?
To ensure that your personal information is secure, we have established a number of security measures and protections. Your personal information is stored on secure networks, which can only be accessed by a limited number of people who hold special access rights, and who undertake to respect and maintain the confidential nature of this information. Despite these measures, when you provide personal information on the internet there is always a risk that it may be intercepted and used by third parties outside our control. While we make every effort to protect your personal information and privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of the information you provide over the internet.
Who has access to your personal information and to what extent?
Apart from our group entities and for the purposes described above, we do not sell, exchange or transfer your personal information to third parties in any form. Your personal information may be transferred to third-party subcontractors to provide certain services to us. It may be used to provide technical assistance. These third-party providers are required to keep our customers' personal information safe and confidential. We also require that these providers use your personal information only on behalf of the Associação de Colecções. You may at any time choose not to permit the sharing of your personal information with third parties. This request can be made through our website in the Contacts section or simply by emailing us via dpo@adc.com.pt
