Privacy Policy

EML, S.A., (hereinafter referred to as “EML”) is committed to respecting the privacy of data subjects, the protection and security of their personal data. The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to inform users (hereinafter referred to as “User” or “Users”) on how EML processes personal data provided through the website https://eml-sa.com (hereinafter referred to as “Website”).

Before using the Website, the User must read this Privacy Policy carefully and decide whether to provide personal data to EML.

The use of the Website implies acknowledgment of the terms set forth in this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy should be read together with the Website’s Terms of Use and Cookie Policy.

 

Scope of application and entity responsible for the processing of personal data

The use of the Website does not necessarily require the provision of personal data by the User. However, any processing of personal data in connection with the use of the Website will be carried out based on the controller’s legitimate interests or based on data subject’s consent.

Regarding the personal data collected, the data controller is:

  • EML, S.A.,

You may contact EML S.A., on any matter related to this Privacy Policy by using the following channels:

  • Postal Address: Lagoas Park, Edifício 3, Piso 3, 2740-266 Porto Salvo, Portugal

Personal data, data processing purposes and legal basis

Data collected about the use of the Website,such as the IP of the device you use, the date and time of the start and end of your visit to the Website, your browser history or other information collected through cookies is used for:

  • The website’s security management and maintenance;
  • Customize your browsing experience (notably personalisation cookies);
  • Providing and analysing the website’s usage in order to understand your interaction with the Website, if you consent to the placement of certain cookies (notably analytical cookies);
  • Improve reporting on campaign performance and avoid placing advertisements which you have already seen or flagged as irrelevant (notably advertising cookies).

These data will be collected on the basis that processing is necessary for the pursuit of the controller’s legitimate interests or based on your consent, as applicable. For more information about these processing activities and the cookies we use please refer to our Cookies Policy.

 

Retention period

The personal data collected is processed in strict compliance with the applicable legislation. Personal data will be retained in accordance with their respective purposes and within the applicable legal timeframes.

In the event of potential litigation or litigation in which EML is directly involved, it may be necessary to extend the retention of the aforementioned personal data until the matter is resolved or for the time required to fulfill legal obligations.

 

In what circumstances is data communicated to other entities?

EML may transmit the personal data collected to other entities when relying on them to provide certain services, as the provision of such services may involve access to your personal data by these entities. Thus, any subcontractor engaged by EML will process the collected personal data on behalf of EML, following EML’s instructions and in accordance with the subcontracting agreement established with these entities.

User data may also be disclosed to third parties when such transmission is deemed necessary or appropriate (i) under applicable law, (ii) in compliance with legal obligations or court orders, (iii) in accordance with decisions or rulings of supervisory authorities, or (iv) to respond to requests from public or governmental authorities.

In any of the above situations, EML will take all appropriate measures to ensure the effective protection of personal data.

 

Security

EML makes every effort to protect Users’ personal data from unauthorised access. To this end, EML implements security systems, rules, and other procedures to ensure the protection of personal data, as well as to prevent unauthorised access, misuse, disclosure, loss, or destruction of data.

However, it is the responsibility of Users to ensure that the computer used to access the Website is adequately protected against malicious software, computer viruses, and worms. Additionally, Users should be aware that, without adopting appropriate security measures (e.g., secure browser configuration, updated antivirus software, and avoiding the use of software from untrusted sources), the risk of personal data and passwords being accessed by unauthorised third parties is increased.

The data collected when you browse our Website, namely through cookies and other similar technologies, may be transferred outside the European Economic Area (hereinafter refer to as “EEA”) if you consent to the placement of certain categories of cookies (e.g. analytics or advertisement cookies). These cookies are placed by third parties which may transfer your data to countries regarding which there is no adequacy decision by the European Commission and which do not offer a level of protection essentially equivalent to that of the European Union (e.g. the United States of America), such as the “Google Analytics” web analytics. For example, sharing data with service providers outside the EEA may result in disproportionate access to your data by the governmental and intelligence agencies of the country receiving the data, as well as the inability to effectively exercise your rights. For more information on the use of these cookies please refer to our Cookies Policy.

Should the User wish to obtain further information about the processing of personal data carried out outside the EEA, including regarding the safeguards adopted for the transfer of personal data, the User may contact EML through the contact details available on this Policy.

 

Data Subject Rights

Under the applicable legislation, the User may, at any time, request access to their personal data, as well as its rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, portability, or object to its processing.

The User may also obtain confirmation of whether their personal data is being processed and, upon request, be provided with a copy of the data undergoing processing.

In accordance with the law, the User is further guaranteed the right to withdraw their consent for the processing of data for the specified purposes. However, this does not invalidate the processing carried out up to that date based on the consent previously given.

To exercise any of the aforementioned rights, the User must submit a written request to the following contacts:

  • Email: rgpd@eml-sa.com
  • Address: Lagoas Park, Edifício 3, Piso 3, 2740-266 Porto Salvo, Portugal

Links provided on this Website may lead to other websites. EML does not assume responsibility for, approve, support, or endorse the content of those websites, nor the content of websites linked to them or referenced therein.

EML is not responsible for any damages resulting from viruses that may infect the User’s computer, network, or other property, due to accessing the Website or transferring content from it to the User’s computer or network. Users are solely responsible for their use of these links.

This privacy statement applies solely to the information collected on EML’s Website.

 

Complaints

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial recourse, the User has the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority under the law, if they believe that EML’s processing of their data violates the applicable legal framework.

 

Changes to the Privacy Policy

EML may, at any time, without prior notice and with immediate effect, change, expand or revoke this Privacy Policy in part or in whole. The User should periodically review this Privacy Policy page to check for any updates or changes.
