1. Personal data processing carried out or participated in
When Quinta da Mimosa uses personal data in the context of a request, order, transaction, or agreement (or for the preparation thereof), or to provide services requested by the data subject, that information is necessary for the execution of the agreement entered into with the data subject. When Quinta da Mimosa uses personal data for marketing purposes, improvement or development of its products or services, for security reasons, or for regulatory requirements outside the scope of the data subject’s agreement or request, this is done based on legitimate interests of Quinta da Mimosa, third parties, or, if necessary, with the express consent of the data subject. Quinta da Mimosa may collect personal data for the following purposes:
a. Websites and other online services.
When visiting one of our websites or using an online service, Quinta da Mimosa records the information necessary to grant access to the user, for the operation of the website, and to comply with legal and security requirements related to the operation of the website, such as passwords, IP address, and browser settings. We also collect information about the user’s activities during the visit and to personalize the user experience on the website, such as recording the user’s preferences and settings, and collecting statistics to help us improve and develop our products and services.
b. Requests for information, orders, or support.
When a data subject contacts Quinta da Mimosa regarding an information request, to place an order for a product or service, to request support, to participate in a forum or other collaborative or social tool, we collect the necessary information to respond to the request, to grant access to the product or service, to provide support, and to contact the data subject. For example, we collect the data subject’s name and contact information, details about the request and the agreement between the data subject and Quinta da Mimosa to respond, send and invoice the order, or customer satisfaction survey information. We retain such information for administrative purposes, to defend Quinta da Mimosa’s rights, and within the context of the relationship with the data subject. When a data subject provides their name and contact information to register for such a request, the registration may be used in the future to identify them when visiting our sites. To place orders for services and products, it may be necessary to register a data subject identifier, which may also allow for the customization and control of the data subject’s privacy settings.
c. Contact with potential/customer collaborators, partners, and suppliers.
As part of Quinta da Mimosa’s relationship with its potential customers, customers, partners, and suppliers, professional contact information (such as name, company contact details, position, or function of its employees, subcontractors, consultants, and authorized individuals) is also provided for the purpose of contract management, responding to requests, providing products and services, providing support, billing, and managing services or the relationship.
d. Visits to facilities.
Quinta da Mimosa records individual visits to its own premises (name, identification and professional contact information) and uses video surveillance systems in some locations for security reasons of people and property.
e. Marketing Actions.
Most of the personal data we collect results from direct interactions through communication actions and digital presence. When a person registers for an event, we may collect information related to the organization and the event, such as participation in sessions and survey results. We combine the personal data we collect to develop aggregated analyses and business information for conducting our business and marketing purposes. When visiting our websites or using our services, Quinta da Mimosa may provide personalized information to the user.
2. Personal data sharing
When appropriate, Quinta da Mimosa may need to share personal data with selected partners to assist in providing products or services to the individual or the company they work for, or to respond to their requests, with the individual’s authorization. When selecting vendors and partners, Quinta da Mimosa takes into account their data processing procedures. If Quinta da Mimosa decides to sell, buy, merge or otherwise reorganize its business, such transaction may involve the disclosure of personal data to buyers or potential buyers, or the receipt of such data from sellers. In certain circumstances, personal data may be subject to disclosure to public entities for judicial proceedings, court orders or legal processes. Quinta da Mimosa may also share the individual’s personal data to protect the rights or property of Quinta da Mimosa, its business partners, suppliers, customers or others, whenever it considers that such rights or properties have been or may be affected.
3. Security and integrity of personal data
The goal of Quinta da Mimosa is to protect personal data and preserve its accuracy. Quinta da Mimosa implements appropriate physical, organizational, and technical protection measures to protect the personal data of the data subject against unauthorized access, use, or disclosure.
