Privacy policy
This Privacy Policy regulates the processing of users' personal data collected in the context of their interactions with the owner of the website - Susana Moura Reis-advogada (hereinafter SMR), as the entity responsible for the processing and use of the website.
The provision of your personal data implies knowledge and acceptance of the conditions contained in this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy is complemented by the Terms and Conditions and the Cookies Policy.
Collection and processing of personal data
In your interactions with SMR you may provide personal data, which will be processed for different purposes and on different grounds.
For the purpose of providing the legal service requested, namely, but not limited to, organizing the client portfolio, complying with legal obligations regarding potential conflict of interest chains, performing the contracted service, keeping internal documentation organized, you may be asked for the following data:
Identification data, contact data, data relating to your professional occupation, data relating to communications that need to be analyzed, among other data that may be necessary within the scope of the contracted service, communicated in due course. This data may include special categories of data (such as bank details, health data) or data relating to previous or ongoing criminal proceedings or convictions and offenses.
​
Whenever your data is necessary to comply with legal obligations or to carry out pre-contractual steps or to execute a contract, failure to provide it may frustrate the possibility of establishing a professional relationship for the provision of the legal service.
When you provide us with the personal data of third parties, such as your family members, employees, service providers, counterparties or others, you should ensure, where possible, that they are informed of how we may process their personal data.
Retention of personal data
The personal data collected is processed in strict compliance with the applicable legislation. Personal data will be stored in accordance with the respective purposes and respecting the applicable legal deadlines. Therefore, and whenever there is no specific legal requirement, the data will be stored and kept only for the appropriate period and to the extent necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, unless the right to object, the right to erasure or the right to withdraw consent is exercised within the legal limits.
​
Security
Users are responsible for guaranteeing and ensuring that the devices and equipment used to access the website are adequately protected against harmful software, computer viruses and worms.
In addition, users should be aware that without the adoption of appropriate security measures (for example, the secure configuration of the browser, updated antivirus software, the use of a firewall and the non-use of software of dubious origin), the risk of personal data and passwords being accessed by unauthorized third parties is increased.
​
Data transfers to third countries
The data collected during your use of the website may be transferred outside the European Economic Area if you give your consent to the placement of certain categories of cookies (e.g. analytical or advertising cookies). These files are placed by third parties based in countries that do not have an adequacy decision from the European Commission and that do not offer a level of personal data protection essentially equivalent to that of the European Union (such as the United States of America). By way of example, the use of cookies placed by the tools "Google Analytics" (provided by Google) or "AddThis" (provided by Oracle Corporation) could imply disproportionate access to your data by US government authorities and intelligence services or the impossibility of effectively exercising your rights.
For more information on the use of these cookies, please consult the Cookie Policy.
