2. Information and Consent

The use of the AME Eventos website is possible without the indication of any personal data, however, if a person or company wishes to make any contact, it may be necessary to collect and process personal data.

The processing of personal data, such as name, address, email address or telephone number, follows the rules set out in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and are in accordance with the data protection legislation applied in Portugal.

Through this data protection declaration, we inform the general public, what the nature, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process is. In addition, data subjects are informed through this data protection declaration of the rights to which they are entitled.

AME Eventos has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website.

However, Internet-based data transmissions can, in principle, have security loopholes, so absolute protection may not be guaranteed and for this reason all data subjects are free to transfer their personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.

3. Definitions

The data protection declaration of AME Events is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and must be readable and understandable for the general public as well as for our customers and partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terminology used.

In this data protection declaration, we use the following terms:

a) Personal data: means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“data subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physiology, physiology and genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that person.

b) Data subject: Means an identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data are processed by the controller.

c) Treatment: is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

d) Limitation of processing: this is the marking of personal data retained with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.

e) Profile definition: means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning the natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.

f) Pseudonymisation: is the processing of personal data in such a way that personal data cannot be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

g) Controller: means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.

h) Subcontractor: is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

i) Recipient: éis a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to whom personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular enquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients. The processing of such data by those public authorities shall be in compliance with the applicable data protection rules, in accordance with the purposes of the processing.

j) Third Party: is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process personal data.

k) Data subject’s consent: is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, provides his or her agreement to the processing of his or her personal data.

4. Data collection and general information

AME Eventos collects a number of general data and information when a data subject or automated system accesses the website.

These general data and information are stored in the server log files and among the elements collected may be:

• the types of browsers and versions used;
• the operating system used by the access system;
• the site from which an access system reaches our website (so-called referrers);
• date and time of access to the website;
• Internet address (IP address);
• access system internet service provider (ISP);
• any other data and information that can be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using this data and general information, AME Eventos does not draw any conclusions about the data subject.

On the contrary, this information is necessary for:

• deliver the content of our website correctly to the user;
• optimise the content of our website as well as its advertising;
• ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and website technology;
• providing law enforcement authorities with information necessary for criminal proceedings in the event of a cyber attack.

Therefore, AME Eventos analyses anonymously collected data and information in order to increase the data protection and data security of our company and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process.

Anonymised data from server log files is stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

5. Subscribe to our newsletters

At AME Eventos, users have the opportunity to subscribe to our newsletters. The subscription request for this purpose determines what personal data is collected.

AME Eventos regularly informs its customers, the interested public and partners through a newsletter about contents related to our activity. The AME Eventos newsletter can only be received by the person concerned if:

• the data subject has a valid email address;
• the data subject has carried out a registration accepting the sending of the newsletter.

A confirmation email will be sent to the email address registered by the data subject the first time, for legal reasons, as part of a double opt-in procedure. This confirmation email is used to check whether the owner of the email address is authorised to receive the newsletter.

During registration for the newsletter, we also retain the IP address of the computer system assigned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) and used by the data subject at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration.

The collection of this data is necessary to understand the (possible) misuse of a person’s email address at a later date and therefore serves the purpose of the legal protection of the controller.

Personal data collected as part of a newsletter registration will only be used to send our newsletter. In addition, newsletter subscribers may also be informed by email, insofar as this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or the registration in question, such as in the case of modifications to the newsletter system, or in the case of a change in technical circumstances.

There will be no transfer of personal data collected by the newsletter service to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter can be terminated by the data subject at any time. The consent to save personal data, which the data subject has provided to send the newsletter, can be revoked at any time.

For the purpose of revocation of consent, a corresponding link is provided in each newsletter. It is also possible to cancel the subscription at any time by communicating this wish in a different way.

6. Follow-up on actions in the newsletter

The AME Eventos newsletter contains so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a thumbnail graphic embedded in emails, which are sent in HTML format, to allow log files to be recorded and analysed.

This allows a statistical analysis of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, AME Events can see if and when an email was opened by a data subject and which links in that email were called up by data subjects.

These personal data collected in the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and analysed to optimise the sending of the newsletter, as well as to better adapt the content of future newsletters to the interests of the data subject. This personal data will not be given to third parties.

Data subjects may at any time revoke their declaration of consent, issued using the double-opt-in procedure. Following a revocation, such personal data will be deleted.

AME Eventos considers a cancellation of the newsletter subscription to be a revocation.

7. Possibility of getting in touch via the website

AME Eventos contains information that allows a quick electronic contact with our company as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general e-mail address.

If a data subject contacts us by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject will be saved automatically.

Such personal data voluntarily transmitted by a data subject are retained for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of such personal data to third parties.

8. Routine deletion and blocking of personal data

The data controller will process and retain the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of the retention, or to the extent permitted by the European or other legislators to which the company is subject.

If the purpose of the retention is not applicable, or if a retention period prescribed by the European legislator or other competent legislator has expired, the personal data is blocked or deleted in accordance with legal requirements.

He or she shall have the right to transmit such data to another controller, without obstruction from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, provided that the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a). the GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR or a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR and the processing is carried out by automated means.
  In addition, when exercising their right to data portability under Article 20(1) of the GDPR, the data subject has the right to transmit personal data directly from one controller to another, where technically possible and where doing so does not affect the rights and freedoms of others.

  If the data are necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and a data controller or is based on the data subject’s explicit consent, AME Events shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and contest the decision.

10. Data protection provisions on the application and use of Facebook and Instagram

On this website, the controller has integrated components of the company Meta Platforms Inc. Facebook and Instagram are social networks.

A social network is a place for social meetings on the Internet, an online community, which generally allows users to communicate with each other and interact in a virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences, or allow the Internet community to provide personal or business-related information. Facebook allows social networking users to include creating private profiles, uploading photos and creating a network through friend requests.

The operator of Facebook and Instagram is Meta Platforms Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, United States. If a person lives in the European Union or Switzerland, the parent company is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbor, Dublin 2, Ireland.

At each call to one of the individual pages of this website operated by the controller and on which a component of Facebook and/or Instagram has been integrated, the web browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted to download the display of the corresponding component of Facebook and/or Instagram.

If the data subject is logged into Facebook and/or Instagram at the same time, they will detect all calls to our website by the data subject – and for the entire duration of their visit to our website – and which specific pages were visited by the data subject. This information is collected via the Facebook and/or Instagram components and linked to the respective account of the data subject.

If the data subject clicks on one of the Facebook and/or Instagram buttons integrated into our website, for example the “Like” button, or if the data subject posts a comment, the social network will match this information to the data subject’s personal Facebook user account and retain the personal data.

If such transmission of information to Facebook and/or Instagram is not desirable for the data subject, he or she can prevent this by logging out of the respective social network before a call to our website is made.

The data protection information published by Facebook, available at https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/ and by Instagram, available at https://privacycenter.instagram.com/policy/, information on the collection, processing and use of personal data by the respective social network.

In addition, the configuration options offered by Facebook and/or Instagram to protect the privacy of the data subject are explained. In addition, different configuration options are provided to enable the elimination of data transmission to Facebook and/or Instagram.

11. Data protection provisions on the application and use of TikTok

On this website, the controller has integrated components of the company TikTok. TikTok is a social network.

A social network is a place for social meetings on the Internet, an online community, which generally allows users to communicate with each other and interact in a virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences, or allow the Internet community to provide personal or business-related information. Facebook allows social networking users to include creating private profiles, uploading photos and creating a network through friend requests.

The operating company of TikTok is ByteDance Ltd., Room 10A Building 2 No. 48 Zhichun Road, Haidian District, Beijing China. If a person lives in the European Union or Switzerland, the parent company is TikTok Technology Limited, 10 Earlsfort Terrace, Dublin, D02 T380, Ireland.

At each call to one of the individual pages of this website, operated by the controller and in which a TikTok component has been integrated, the web browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted to download the display of the corresponding TikTok component.

If the data subject is simultaneously logged on to TikTok, TikTok will detect all calls to our website by the data subject – and for the entire duration of their visit to our website – and which specific pages were visited by the data subject. This information is collected through the TikTok components and linked to the respective Facebook account of the data subject.

If the data subject clicks on one of the TikTok buttons integrated into our website, for example the “Like” button, or if the data subject sends a comment, TikTok will match that information to the data subject’s personal TikTok user account and retain the personal data.

If such transmission of information to TikTok is not desirable for the data subject, he or she may prevent this by logging out of TikTok before a call to our website is made.

The data protection information published by TikTok, available at https://www.tiktok.com/legal/page/eea/privacy-policy/pt-BR, provides information on the collection, processing and use of personal data by TikTok. Furthermore, the configuration options offered by TikTok to protect the privacy of the data subject are explained. In addition, different configuration options are provided to enable the elimination of data transmission to TikTok.

12. Data protection information on the application and use of Google Analytics (with anonymisation function)

On this website, the controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with the anonymizer function). Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection and analysis of data about the behaviour of visitors to our website. A web analytics service collects data about the website from which a person arrived (the so-called referrer), which pages were visited or how often and for how long a page was viewed. Web analytics is mainly used for the optimisation of our website and to perform a cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising.

The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, United States. If a person lives in the European Union or Switzerland, the controller is Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyse the traffic on our website. Google uses the data and information collected, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website and to provide online reports showing activity on it and to provide other related services.

Google Analytics places a cookie on the data subject’s information technology system. The definition of cookies is explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is able to analyse the use of our website. During the course of this technical procedure, Google acquires knowledge of personal information, such as the data subject’s IP address, which serves Google, among other things, to understand the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently to create commission agreements.

The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which the access was made and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject. Each time you visit our website, these personal data, including the IP address of the Internet access used by the data subject, will be transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on such personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies via our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the web browser used and thus deny the setting of cookies. Such an adjustment would also prevent Google Analytics from setting a cookie on the data subject’s information technology system. In addition, cookies that are already in use by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software programs.

The data subject has the possibility to object to a collection of data that is generated by Google Analytics, which is related to the use of our website, as well as the processing of such data by Google. For this, the data subject must download an extra add-on to the browser from the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and install it. This extra add-on tells Google Analytics, via JavaScript, that any data and information about web page visits cannot be transmitted to Google Analytics.

The installation of the extra browser add-ons is considered to be in opposition to Google. If the data subject’s information technology system is subsequently deleted, formatted or newly installed, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-ons to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on has been uninstalled by the data subject or any other person attributable to their sphere of competence or is deactivated, it is possible to carry out the reinstallation or reactivation of the extra browser add-ons.

13. Legal basis for data processing

The GDPR serves as a legal basis for data processing operations for which we have obtained consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, for the supply of goods or any other service, the processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1,b) of the GDPR.

The same applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of consultations regarding our products or services. Where our company is subject to a legal obligation for which the processing of personal data is necessary, such as for compliance with tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) of the GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person.

14. The legitimate interests of the controller or a third party

Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1) of the GDPR, our legitimate interest is to conduct business for the welfare of all our employees, fairly and lawfully.

15. Period for which personal data will be kept

The criterion used to determine the period for which personal data will be stored is the respective legal retention period. After the expiry of this period, the corresponding data is deleted, provided that it is no longer required for the fulfilment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.

16. Provision of personal data as a legal or contractual requirement; Necessary requirement to conclude a contract; Obligation of the data subject to provide personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide such data

The provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual clauses (e.g. information about the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary, in order to conclude a contract, for the data subject to provide us with personal data, which must be further processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide personal data when our company signs a contract with them. Failure to provide personal data will result in the contract with the data subject not being concluded.
