Users’ rights over their personal data 

Users, as data subjects, have the following rights:

  • Right of access: Users have the right to request Sérvulo & Associados for information regarding the processing of their personal data and, if requested, a copy of their data subject to processing;
  • Right of rectification: in case of incomplete or inaccurate data, Users have the right to request their rectification;
  • Right to erasure: Users have the right to request the erasure of their personal data subject to processing by Sérvulo & Associados.
    However, this right is limited in certain situations, for example, when the processing of data is necessary to comply with legal obligations to which Sérvulo & Associados is subject, or when such processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
  • Right to restriction: Users have the right to request Sérvulo & Associados to restrict the processing of their personal data or to suspend processing activities in cases where: 

        - Users contest the accuracy of their personal data, for a period of time that allows Sérvulo & Associados to verify its accuracy;

        - The processing is no longer necessary for Sérvulo & Associados but the data is required by the Users for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims;

        - The Users have objected to processing, until verified whether the legitimate interests of Sérvulo & Associados or third parties override those of the Users.

  • Right to portability: Users have the right to receive their personal data, provided through a contract or based on consent, in a structured format, in common use and machine-readable format. They also have the right to have their data transmitted to another controller, whenever technically possible;
  • Right to object: Users have the right to object to the processing of their personal data in cases where the data is processed based on the legitimate interests of Sérvulo & Associados, except in cases in which Sérvulo & Associados presents compelling and legitimate reasons that prevail over the rights of the data subjects;
  • Automated individual decision-making, including profiling: Users have the right not to be subject to any decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them.

Users also have the right to lodge a complaint to the Portuguese Data Protection Authority («Comissão Nacional de Protecção de Dados») if they consider that their rights over their personal data have been infringed.

As part of a request to Sérvulo & Associados regarding any of the rights identified above, Users may be asked to prove their identity in order to ensure that personal data is shared only with the respective data subject. The exercise of rights is free, except in cases of manifestly unfounded or excessive requests, in which case a reasonable fee may be charged taking into account the costs.
