What personal data do we process, who does it concern and how is it collected?

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

GG Algarve Translations collects personal data through various means and at various times, namely when you send us an e-mail, hire our services or make a professional application.

In some cases, GG Algarve Translations may collect personal data indirectly, namely through public sources.

Why and on what legal basis do we process your data?

GG Algarve Translations may process personal data for the following purposes and in accordance with the following legal grounds:

1. a) Provision of services offered by GG Algarve Translations, which includes opening a client in the system, recording quotes submitted, communications with clients and archiving documentation in digital format.

The legal basis for processing this data is the performance of a contract or the legitimate interest of GG Algarve Translations in processing the information of its clients, ensuring the provision of a quality service.

1. b) Communications and the sending of information, including the dissemination of newsletters and publications and the offer of services that may be of interest to our clients.

The legal basis is the fulfilment of a legal obligation.

1. d) Invoicing and accounting management, including invoicing and management of accounts and maintenance of accounting records.

The grounds for lawfulness are the execution of a contract, legitimate interest and compliance with a legal obligation, in order to invoice the services provided on time, which makes it possible to maintain efficient management control and ensure compliance with legal obligations.

1. e) Collection and judicial and extrajudicial claims, including the recovery of amounts owed by clients.

The legal basis is the legitimate interest of GG Algarve Translations in satisfying its claims.

1. f) Recruitment and selection, which includes analysing applications and CVs, as well as the internal procedure for selecting employees.

The legal grounds are pre-contractual diligence and GG Algarve Translations' legitimate interest in analysing applications and submitting candidates to the internal selection process.

What are the retention periods for personal data?

5. e) Recruitment and selection: 2 years from the date of submission of the application or CV, if the candidate is not selected, and for the duration of the professional relationship with GG Algarve Translations, in other cases.

Who do we share your personal data with?

GG Algarve Translations does not pass on your personal data to third parties, except in cases where this is necessary for the provision of the services you have contracted or for the fulfilment of legal obligations.

In the case of the transmission of data to service providers, particularly with regard to IT services, GG Algarve Translations guarantees that it only uses service providers who provide guarantees that they have implemented the necessary and appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data.

The transmission of data to third parties is carried out in accordance with the applicable data protection legislation and within the limits of the purposes and legal grounds defined in this Policy.

In cases where the transmission of personal data involves an international transfer of personal data, GG Algarve Translations will ensure that data transfers are carried out in strict compliance with the applicable legal regulations.

Is your personal data safe?

GG Algarve Translations has implemented appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised destruction, loss, alteration, disclosure or access and against any other form of unlawful or abusive processing. These measures are regularly reviewed and improved to reflect legal developments and available technology.

The technical and organisational security measures created and implemented by GG Algarve Translations are also required of GG Algarve Translations' service providers who may process personal data on its behalf.

What are your rights as a data subject?

As the data subject, you can exercise the following rights:

1. a) Right of access: at any time, you can request confirmation as to whether GG Algarve Translations processes your data, access to your personal data and information on how it is processed. You may also obtain a copy of the personal data being processed.
2. b) Right to rectification: if your personal data is incorrect or incomplete, you can request that it be rectified or completed.
3. c) Right to erasure: in certain situations, you have the right to request the erasure of your personal data. This right may be limited in certain situations, such as when the processing of the data is necessary for compliance with legal obligations to which GG Algarve Translations is subject, or when such processing is necessary for the purposes of declaring, exercising or defending a right in legal proceedings.
4. d) Right to restriction of processing: in certain situations, you can ask GG Algarve Translations to restrict access to personal data or to suspend processing activities. This will happen, for example, in cases where you dispute the accuracy of your personal data, for a period of time that allows GG Algarve Translations to verify its accuracy, or in cases where you have objected to the processing, until it is verified whether the legitimate interests of GG Algarve Translations or third parties prevail over yours.
5. e) Right to portability: in cases where data processing is based on a contract to which you are a party or on your consent, you can ask GG Algarve Translations to provide you with the data you have provided in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You can also request, provided this is technically possible, that this data be passed on to other data controllers.
6. f) Right to object: when the processing of data is based on the legitimate interests of GG Algarve Translations or when it is carried out for purposes other than those for which the data was collected, but which are compatible with them, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data on grounds relating to your particular situation. In such cases, GG Algarve Translations will stop processing your personal data unless it has legitimate reasons for doing so and these reasons outweigh your interests.
7. g) Right to withdraw consent: in cases where data processing is carried out on the basis of your consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time. If you withdraw your consent, your personal data will no longer be processed, unless there is another legal basis for such processing.
