Under the legal terms, you shall also have the right, through the aforementioned means, to withdraw your consent for data processing in which consent constitutes the grounds for the legitimacy of said processing. For that purpose, you are entitled to withdraw your consent at any moment, which does not preclude, however, the processing performed up to that moment based on the consent previously granted.

Notwithstanding any other administrative or judicial procedure, data subjects are entitled to submit a complaint to the National Data Protection Committee or any other competent supervisory authority under the law, in case they consider that their data are not being legitimately processed by José de Mello Capital, under the terms of the applicable legislation and this Policy.

This Policy is fully applicable to all users of the websites (www.josedemello.pt, grow.josedemello.pt and voluntariado.josedemello.pt), and must be complemented by the provisions in the Privacy and Cookie Policies of the websites.

It is, however, the responsibility of data subjects to guarantee and ensure that the computer they use is suitably protected against malicious software, computer viruses and worms. They must also be aware that, without taking adequate security measures (such as setting a safe configuration for the browser, updating the antivirus software, setting up a firewall and avoiding software of dubious origin), the risk of personal data and passwords being accessed by unauthorised third parties is aggravated.

However, it should be noted that, whenever the collection of data is performed on open networks, such as the Internet, your data may circulate without security conditions, and there is a risk they are seen and used by unauthorised third parties.

As described in this Privacy Policy, in some cases, we may transmit your personal data to third parties. José de Mello Capital has set clear contractual regulations concerning the processing of personal data for its data processors, and demands that they adopt any suitable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data. However, in some cases, we may be forced under the law to transmit your personal data to third parties (such as supervisory authorities or judicial authorities), regarding whom we have limited control over personal data protection.

José de Mello Capital resorts to other entities for the provision of certain services. Said provision of services may imply that they access to personal data of data subjects.

Thus, any data processor of José de Mello Capital will process the personal data of data subjects, on behalf of José de Mello Capital, in strict compliance with our instructions. José de Mello Capital ensures that said data processors offer sufficient guarantees of compliance with suitable technical and organisational measures so that the processing meets the applicable legal requirements and ensures the security and protection of the data subjects’ rights, under the terms of the outsourcing agreement entered into with said data processors.

Upon your consent, José de Mello Capital may transmit your personal data to other entities belonging to the José de Mello group for marketing purposes of said entities.

In certain situations, your personal data may also be transmitted to third parties where said data disclosure is necessary or adequate (i) under the applicable legislation, (ii) in compliance with legal obligations/judicial orders, (iii) upon resolution of the National Data Protection Committee or another competent supervisory authority, or (iv) to respond to requests from public or government authorities.
