3. Personal Data, personal data holders and categories of personal data

What is personal data?

Personal data is all information of any nature, collected on any type of support, relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. Identifiable is the set of information that can lead to the identification of a particular person, namely by reference to an identifier (such as an identification number or location data).

From whom do we collect personal data?

In view of LBC's business object, most of the data of individual and legal persons (companies and associations) are processed. However, for the performance of its duties, data from the following types of natural persons may be collected and processed (non-exhaustive list):

What personal data do we process and how do we collect it?

LBC only collects data that are adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which they are processed.

The collection of your data can be done orally, in writing (namely through forms and contracts), as well as through the LBC website. As a general rule, we collect your data directly, within the scope of a project with customers or commercial interactions, and personal data may also be collected through public sources (such as internet sites and official public lists).

For the execution of different purposes, we may collect the following types of personal data:

  • identification data (such as name, place of birth, citizen card or date of birth)
  • contact details (such as mobile phone, address or e-mail);

  • location data (such as IP address)
  • footage from recording events or video conferences

As a rule, LBC does not collect special data, such as health data or data referring to administrative offenses or criminal offenses.

 

4. Fundamentals and Purposes of Personal Data Processing

Why and on what basis do we use your personal data?

All data collected and processed by LBC are based on one of the following conditions of legitimacy

or consent: When the collection is preceded by your express, specific and informed consent, through written support or via the web. We collect your consent, for example, for purposes related to the registration in the activities and initiatives of LBC and its subsidiaries, for the subscription of newsletters or for the registration in actions promoted by LBC.

For carrying out professional and commercial relationships, such as project activity and training programs and others.

Execution of contract or pre-contractual measures: when processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or for pre-contractual measures. 
This condition will be fulfilled when we process your data for the purpose of managing programs and financing and cooperation protocols or contracts for the supply and provision of services.

Compliance with legal obligations: when processing is necessary for the fulfillment of a legal obligation. This includes, for example, the communication of data to public bodies (national and community), fiscal or judicial.

the public interest: when processing is necessary for the exercise of functions in the public interest.

the legitimate interest: when the processing proves necessary for the pursuit of legitimate interests of the entity responsible for the treatment or of third parties, without harming the rights and freedoms of its customers and/or users. This includes all processing resulting from attributions conferred by law, namely commercial disclosure to representatives of LBC's client or partner companies or any of its subsidiaries, or even the processing of data to improve the quality of service and when our reasons for their use shall prevail over data protection rights.

What are the purposes for which we collect your data?

The personal data collected by LBC are only processed for specific, explicit and legitimate purposes. Whenever personal data are collected, they are intended exclusively for the purposes expressly identified at the time of collection. Here we list the main purposes that justify the collection of personal data by LBC

  • Contracting and project management with clients;
  • Recruitment;
  • Management of events, programs and offers promoted by LBC;
  • Contracting of supply and service provision contracts;
  • Disclosure of newsletters / publications;
  • Improved offerings and experiences;
  • Physical Security of Facilities and People.

5. Period of retention of personal data

LBC processes and retains your data only for the period that is necessary to pursue or complete the purposes of the treatment for which they are intended, in compliance with the maximum periods necessary to comply with contractual, legal or regulatory obligations.

As a general rule, and when there is a contract that legitimizes the processing of your data, LBC will keep such data as long as such contractual relationship is maintained. Other circumstances exist, such as compliance with legal or regulatory obligations (for example, for the purposes of complying with tax obligations, personal data relating to invoicing must be kept for a maximum period of ten years from the performance of the act), as well as the pendency of a judicial process, which may legitimize your data being kept for a longer period of time. At the end of the retention period, LBC will delete said data.

Regularly, every 5 years, LBC will contact the holders of personal data to renew their consent or, if that is their preference, delete them from our databases. However, if you wish to change your preferences, you can do so at any time by sending an email to privacy@lbc-global.com.

Right of rectification: right that allows you to request the rectification of your data, demanding that these are accurate and current, for example, when you consider that they are incomplete or out of date.

Right to delete data or “Right to be forgotten”: right that allows you to request the deletion of your data, when you consider that there are no valid grounds for the conservation of the data and provided that there is no other valid ground that legitimizes such treatment (such as the performance of a contract or compliance with a legal obligation or regulatory).

Right to limitation: right that allows you to suspend processing or limit processing to certain categories of data or purposes.

Direito a portabilidade: right through which you can request the sending of your data, in a digital and commonly used format, which allows the reuse of such data. Alternatively, you may request the transmission of your data to another entity that becomes responsible for processing your data.

How can you exercise your rights?

All the rights described above may be exercised, with the limitations provided for in the applicable legislation, upon written request, to be sent via email privacy@lbc-global.com.

7. Data transmission

With whom do we share your personal data?
