How long we keep your Personal Data

MEDINFAR processes and retains your Personal Data pursuant to the purposes for which they are processed. Therefore, we take reasonable steps to ensure that your Personal Data is stored and accurately updated as per the purposes for which they were collected.

There are cases where the law requires the processing and retention of Personal Data for a minimum amount of time. Namely, ten years for data that may be required by the Portuguese Tax Authority for accounting or tax purposes, as well as seven years for anti-money laundering and terrorist financing purposes.

Conversely, whenever there is no specific legal obligation, your Personal Data will only be processed for the period necessary to fulfil the purposes for which they were collected and stored, always in accordance with the law, the guidelines and decisions of the CNPD.

As for contractual purposes, MEDINFAR will process your Personal Data for the period in which it maintains a contractual relationship with you. MEDINFAR may keep such Personal Data or other data for periods longer than the duration of the contractual relationship, based on your consent or to ensure rights or duties related to the contract, or because it has legitimate interests in such regard, but always for the period strictly necessary for the attainment of its objectives.

With whom we share your Personal Data

We can share your Personal Data with third parties, our subcontractors, including:

• Our professional auditors;
• Suppliers with whom MEDINFAR contracts certain support services, such as editing, translations, copies, document reviews;
• IT service providers;
• Marketing Service Providers;
• • Entities involved in the organization of events or seminars or co-hosting them.

These entities will process your Personal Data according to instructions and on behalf of MEDINFAR. MEDINFAR requires its subcontractors to comply with a number of obligations, including those to protect your Personal Data adequately, ensuring special confidentiality and forbidding the use of such data for any purposes other than those mentioned in this Privacy Policy.


Where necessary, or for the reasons set out in this policy, your Personal Data may also be shared with regulatory authorities, courts and official bodies. We will endeavour all reasonable efforts to notify you prior to sharing your Personal Data, unless we are legally prevented from doing so.

We may also share your Personal Data with companies in the MEDINFAR Group or other entities, making sure that we only do so with entities that protect your Personal Data and abide by privacy standards that are similar or equal to those of MEDINFAR. Sharing your Personal Data with these entities will also be aimed at optimising the services of the MEDINFAR Group and for the legitimate interests of its affiliated entities.

In addition, we may share your Personal Data with third-party websites or social networks to facilitate the use of our platforms, as well as to provide MEDINFAR information that may be of your interest. Under no circumstance, will we incorporate data obtained through these third parties into our database without the consent of the Data Owner.

Your Personal Data will not be shared, sold, leased or disclosed in any way other than what is provided for in this Privacy Policy or in the information provided at the time your Personal Data was collected.

How we protect your Personal Data

We use all sorts of technical and organizational measures to help protect your Personal Data from destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure and access.
These measures include the implementation of access controls, firewalls and secure servers.

Website

Personal Data collected through the MEDINFAR website is stored on secure servers. This type of communication is not unbreakable, but currently corresponds to good market practices. Personal Data is stored in databases managed by MEDINFAR or in third-party databases, with periodic data backups in order to minimise the likelihood of a loss of information in the event of a storage system failure.

In the event of a breach of the security systems that demonstrably results in unauthorized access by third parties to your Personal Data, in addition to other regulatory obligations that we will fulfil, we will inform you by email.

To which countries we transfer your Personal Data

We may be required to transfer your Personal Data to locations outside Portugal.

Thus, MEDINFAR may have to transfer your Personal Data to a third country outside the European Union ("EU"), which is not on the list of countries that the European Commission has already considered having adequate levels of Personal Data protection. In such cases, MEDINFAR will ensure that Personal Data transfers take place in strict compliance with the applicable legal rules and that they comply with certain guarantees, namely:

a. Standard contract clauses approved by the European Commission. These standard clauses provide sufficient assurance that the appropriacy and safety requirements established by the GDPR are met; or,
b. Certifications that demonstrate that third parties located outside the EU process Personal Data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation. These certifications shall be approved either by the European Commission or by a competent supervisory authority, or by a competent national accreditation body as provided for in the GDPR.

Your Rights

In accordance with applicable law, you have the following rights with respect to the processing of your Personal Data:

I. Right of access to Personal Data and their rectification

Data Owners are entitled to obtain confirmation as to whether or not their Personal Data is being processed. In such case, they have the right to access their Personal Data, as well as information regarding the purposes of its processing, the Personal Data categories in question, Personal Data recipients, the length of time for which they are to be retained, and the right to rectify or update them at any time.

II. Right to the portability of your Personal Data

Data Owners are entitled to the portability of their Personal Data. This means that Personal Data can be transferred, copied or transmitted electronically. However, this right only occurs when processing of your Personal Data is based on the consent given; or when processing occurs for the signing of a contract and by automated means.

III. Right to delete your Personal Data ("right to be forgotten")

Data Owners are entitled to request that their Personal Data be deleted, without undue delay. Namely, Personal Data that is no longer necessary, taking into account the purposes for which it was collected or processed. This includes withdrawal of consent previously provided for processing, and there is no legal basis for processing them; when you oppose the processing of your Personal Data for direct marketing purposes and in other cases set out in the General Data Protection Regulation.
Whenever Personal Data is not necessary for any purpose or there is no legal obligation demanding their retention, we will do our best to delete or anonymize them permanently.

IV. Right to limitation of processing

Data Owners are entitled to limit the processing of their Personal Data if they consider that the Personal Data collected is not accurate and that their Personal Data is not being processed in accordance with the applicable legal provisions. In this case, instead of deleting their Personal Data, they may choose to request the limitation of its processing, under a legal scope, and in other cases set forth in applicable legislation.

V. Right of objection

Data Owners are entitled to object to the processing of their Personal Data at any time. Regarding the processing of Personal Data for direct marketing purposes or other forms of promotion, Data Owners may object to it. Data Owners shall not be obliged to provide any justification in such regard at any time.

VI. Right not to be subject to automated individual decisions

Data Owners are entitled not to be subject to any decision taken solely on the basis of the automated processing of their Personal Data, including profiling, that produces effects on their legal sphere or significantly affects them in a similar fashion.

Enforcement of Rights

Data Owners may request access to their Personal Data at any time, as well as their rectification, deletion or limitation of their processing, portability of their Personal Data, or oppose to their processing (except for Personal Data strictly necessary for the provision of the services). This can be done by writing to dpo@medinfar.pt, with the subject "Privacy", alternatively, by sending a registered letter to the address of the Data Protection Officer.

We remind you that withdrawal of consent does not invalidate the lawfulness of your Personal Data processing performed until then.
In general, the enforcement of your rights is free of charge, except in the case of a manifestly unfounded or excessive request, in which case a reasonable fee may be charged taking into account the costs incurred with your request.
Information must be given in writing, although, if you request so, it may be given orally. In this case, MEDINFAR should check your identity by other means rather than your own oral statement.

Requests should be usually answered within a maximum of 30 days, unless the request is particularly complex or involves a large number of requests.
Notwithstanding any other administrative or legal resources, Data Owners have the right to lodge a complaint with the CNPD if they consider that their Personal Data is not being processed lawfully by MEDINFAR, in accordance with applicable legislation and this Privacy Policy.

Personal Data Controller

The Personal Data Controller is Laboratórios Medinfar, S.A., Corporate Taxpayer number 500 384 045, headquartered at Rua Henrique de Paiva Couceiro, nº 29, Venda Nova, 2700-451, Amadora.
