Privacy Policy
FMIT respects the privacy of people who visit this website and of those who contact us. This policy explains clearly how personal data collected through the website is handled.
1. Data controller
FMIT is the controller of personal data collected through this website. The controller's full legal name, tax number and registered office must be added here before external publication.
For privacy questions or to exercise your rights, you may provisionally use geral@fmit.pt. This contact must be confirmed or replaced by a dedicated privacy address before final publication.
2. Personal data that may be collected
When you use the contact form, the data you provide may be collected: name, telephone number, email address, company, subject and message content.
Technical data strictly necessary for the operation and security of the website may also be processed, such as hosting logs, IP address and browser technical information, in accordance with the hosting provider and the effective configuration of the final domain.
3. Purposes and legal basis
Data sent through the form is used to reply to the contact request, assess a potential consultancy need and, when requested, prepare a proposal or take pre-contractual steps.
Depending on the situation, processing is based on pre-contractual steps requested by the data subject, compliance with legal obligations or FMIT's legitimate interest in ensuring the website's security and management. Marketing communications, non-essential cookies or other independent purposes should only be activated where there is an appropriate legal basis and separate information.
4. Recipients and transfers
Data is accessed only by authorised FMIT personnel and, where necessary, by service providers acting on FMIT's behalf, such as hosting, email, technical maintenance or contact-tool providers. The specific list of providers must be confirmed before external publication.
If any provider processes data outside the European Economic Area, FMIT must identify that transfer and state the applicable safeguards before using the service on the final domain.
5. Data retention
Personal data is retained only for the period required for the purpose for which it was collected, or for the applicable legal period. The specific retention period for contact requests must be defined by FMIT before final publication.
When there is no longer a basis to retain data, it should be deleted or anonymised, unless retention is necessary to comply with a legal or contractual obligation or to defend legal rights.
6. Your rights
Under applicable law, you may request access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection or portability of your personal data. You may also withdraw consent when it is the legal basis for processing, without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
To exercise these rights, contact FMIT using the address on this page. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Portuguese data protection authority if you believe that your data is not being processed in accordance with applicable law.
7. Cookies and third-party services
The website should use only cookies that are strictly necessary for its operation without prior consent. Statistical, measurement, marketing or personalisation cookies require a configuration compatible with their purpose and the applicable legal basis.
The contacts page may integrate maps or other external tools. Before final publication, the developer must confirm the effective providers, the cookies placed and, where required, provide a preference-management mechanism.
8. Security and changes
FMIT adopts technical and organisational measures appropriate to the nature of processing to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, alteration or improper disclosure.
This policy may be updated when there are changes to the website, the services used or applicable obligations. The current version will be made available on this page with its update date.
