These subcontracted entities may not transmit User data to other entities without the Portuguese Pulmon Foundation having previously given written authorization to do so, and are also prevented from contracting other entities without prior authorization from the Portuguese Pulmon Foundation.

The Fundação Portuguesa do Pulmão undertakes to subcontract only entities that provide sufficient guarantees for the execution of the appropriate technical and organizational measures, in order to ensure the defense of the User’s rights.

• Accurate and updated whenever necessary, with all appropriate measures being taken so that inaccurate data, taking into account the purposes for which they are processed, are erased or rectified without delay;
• Kept in a way that allows the identification of the User only for the period necessary for the purposes for which the data are processed;

The data processing carried out by the Fundação Portuguesa do Pulmão is lawful when the User has given his explicit consent for the processing of his Personal data, for one or more specific purposes, when the processing is necessary for the execution of a contract in which the User is a party, or for pre-contractual measures at the User’s request, for the fulfillment of a legal obligation to which the Fundação Portuguesa do Pulmão is subject and for the purpose of the legitimate interests pursued by the Fundação Portuguesa do Pulmão.

The Fundação Portuguesa do Pulmão undertakes to ensure that the processing of User data is only carried out under the conditions listed above and with respect for the aforementioned principles.

When the processing of the User’s data is carried out by the Fundação Portuguesa do Pulmão based on the User’s consent, the User has the right to withdraw his consent at any time.

To ensure the security of User Data and maximum confidentiality, we treat the information you provide us in an absolutely confidential manner, in accordance with our internal security and confidentiality policies and procedures, which are periodically updated as necessary, as well as in accordance with the legally prescribed terms and conditions.

Depending on the nature, scope, context and purposes of data processing, as well as the risks arising from the processing for the rights and freedoms of the User, Fundação Portuguesa do Pulmão undertakes to apply both at the time of defining the means of processing such as at the time of the processing itself, the technical and organizational measures necessary and adequate for the protection of User Data and compliance with legal requirements. It also undertakes to ensure that, by default, only data that are necessary for each specific purpose of the processing are processed and that such data are not made available without human intervention to an indeterminate number of people.

In certain types of treatment, personal data collected by the Fundação Portuguesa do Pulmão may be made available to third parties, which may involve its transfer outside the European Union.
