Casa Calmar is committed to ensuring the protection and security of the personal data provided to it, having approved and implemented stringent rules in this regard. Compliance with these rules is a legal obligation for all those who access them.

Given Casa Calmar's commitment and concern for the protection of personal data, various security measures, both technical and organizational, have been adopted to safeguard the personal data provided against unauthorized disclosure, loss, misuse, alteration, processing, or unauthorized access, as well as against any other unlawful forms of processing.

Additionally, third-party entities that, as part of service provision, process personal data of the Client/User on behalf of Casa Calmar, are required in writing to implement appropriate technical and security measures that, at all times, comply with the requirements set forth in current legislation and ensure the defense of the data subject's rights (including the protection of privacy and personal data of Clients/Users).

In this regard, on Casa Calmar's website, the forms for collecting personal data enforce encrypted browser sessions, and all personal data provided is securely stored in Casa Calmar's systems, which are hosted on Casa Calmar's servers. These systems are protected by all physical and logical security measures deemed necessary by Casa Calmar for the protection of personal data.

Despite the security measures adopted by Casa Calmar, Casa Calmar advises all internet users to take additional security measures. This includes ensuring they use an up-to-date PC and browser with properly configured security patches, an active firewall, antivirus, and anti-spyware software. Users should also verify the authenticity of websites they visit on the internet and avoid visiting websites whose reputation they do not trust.


UNDER WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES ARE DATA SHARED WITH OTHER ENTITIES (THIRD PARTIES AND SUBCONTRACTORS)?

Casa Calmar, as part of its activities, may engage third parties to provide certain services. Sometimes, providing these services requires these entities to access personal data of Clients/Users. When this happens, Casa Calmar takes appropriate measures to ensure that these entities accessing the data are reputable and provide the highest guarantees in this regard. This is duly established and safeguarded through contracts between Casa Calmar and the third party entities involved.

Therefore, any subcontracted entity by Casa Calmar will process personal data of our Clients/Users on behalf of and under the responsibility of Casa Calmar, adopting necessary technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access, and against any other unlawful forms of processing.

In any case, Casa Calmar remains responsible for the personal data provided to it.


UNDER WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES DO WE TRANSFER YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

The provision of certain services by Casa Calmar may involve transferring your data outside of Portugal, including outside of the European Union or to International Organizations.

In such cases, Casa Calmar will strictly comply with applicable legal provisions, particularly regarding the determination of the adequacy of the destination country(ies) concerning the protection of personal data and the requirements applicable to such transfers. This includes, where applicable, entering into appropriate contractual instruments that ensure and respect the legal requirements in force.
