The user may withdraw their consent at any time, using the option provided for this purpose in the footer of communications sent via email (unsubscribe) or by writing to PASTCERAM, to the contacts indicated in the heading on the exercise of rights. Withdrawal of consent is without prejudice to processing carried out prior to that withdrawal.

7 - HOW DO WE COLLECT YOUR PERSONAL DATA?  

We will collect your personal data through the forms on the website, but also through the website and the communication it makes with your device and the e-mail messages you send us. Your personal data is collected via your device as follows:  

When you fill in the forms on the website, namely newsletter subscription, contact, customer registration and purchase forms;  
Through your browser;

8 - WHAT ARE COOKIES?  

Cookies are small information files that help identify your browser and can store information, for example, user settings and preferences.   

PASTCERAM will store cookies on your device to personalise and facilitate browsing as much as possible, but also for troubleshooting, statistics, quality assurance, and to monitor system security.   

With the exception of cookies specifically necessary for the performance of the website, the storage of other cookies will always depend on the User's acceptance and consent, and this consent may be withdrawn at any time through specific browser tools.  

To find out more about the cookies we use, please consult our Cookie Policy.  

9 - HOW DO WE PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL DATA?  

Your personal data is kept secure by adopting various security measures of a technical nature (the data is kept on secure servers that offer us every guarantee of the integrity of the information) and an organisational nature that guarantee that only those Employees who must access the personal data have access to it, in accordance with the need for access and the rules created for this purpose.  

To protect your personal data we only use data centre providers that offer us adequate and documented security measures, namely guarantees that your personal data is stored on servers that are kept in controlled environments with limited access.  

Personal data is kept on secure servers at PTISP - Almouroltec - Serviços de Informática e Internet Lda (hereinafter, "PTISP") with NIPC 502665696 and head office at Rua José Dias Simão s/n, Parque de Ciência e Tecnologia, Edifício INOV.POINT, Alferrarede, 
2200-062 Abrantes., which offers us the appropriate security guarantees to protect personal data against its dissemination, loss, misuse, alteration, unauthorised processing or access, as well as against any other form of unlawful processing. Likewise, when you browse the website, we protect your data with encryption, such as Transport Layer Security (TLS, a security protocol that protects telecommunications via the internet) and your password is stored using a one-way hash, meaning that it cannot be recovered (or disclosed) by anyone, including PASTCERAM, and can only be reset. Although we take the care and precautions we deem appropriate to protect the personal data you provide and we collect, you should realise that no security system is impenetrable.  

You should therefore take certain precautions, such as keeping your password secret and not divulging it to anyone else; if you believe that your password has been misused, you should notify us immediately; you should also take care to log in and log out every time you close your browser.  

Limitation of processing: the right to obtain the limitation of processing if one of the situations listed in the legislation applies, namely when:  

You contest the accuracy of the personal data;  

The processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of its use instead;  

The data controller no longer needs the personal data for processing purposes, but the data subject requires them for the purposes of declaring, exercising or defending a right in legal proceedings;  

If the data subject has objected to processing using automated individual decisions.  

Objection: the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you;  

Portability: the right to receive personal data concerning you in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and the right to transmit such data to another controller without the controller to whom the personal data were provided being able to prevent it, when the processing is based on consent or contract, or when it is carried out by automated means.  

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority (in Portugal, the National Data Protection Commission at www.cnpd.pt). In addition to the rights described above, whenever the basis for data processing is consent, the User has the right to withdraw the consent given at any time, without this invalidating the data processing carried out up to that point
