EPB, S.A. (hereinafter “EPB”), with registered offices at Rua da Sortelha nº 396, Fração A e B, 4635-092 Constance, Marco de Canaveses, is committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of each of its clients and users of its services. With the application of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), EU Regulation 2016/679, of 27 April, as of 25 May 2018, and more recently, following the publication of the Implementing Law in the national legal order of the Regulation, Law 58/2019, of 8 August, the EPB group remains attentive and vigilant with regard to the protection of the privacy and personal data of the respective data subjects who use: www.EPB.com (hereinafter referred to as the “Website”), thereby acting to update its Privacy Policy in accordance with all the data protection principles and standards that underpin the GDPR. The purpose of this document is to explain what personal data is collected, for what purpose, how it is processed, with whom we share it, how long we keep it, as well as how to contact us and exercise your rights
General Data Protection Regulation
The GDPR determines the rules regarding the processing by a person, a company or an organisation of personal data relating to people in the European Union (EU). It protects personal data regardless of the technology used to process it. The protection is technology-neutral and applies to both automated and manual processing, subject to the protection requirements of the GDPR. By accepting this Privacy Policy, the user gives their express and informed consent for the personal data provided via the Website to be included in a file for which EPB is responsible
Responsibility and Data Processing
EPB is responsible for the processing of personal data, from collection, organisation and storage to deletion, within the scope of the GDPR
EPB is concerned about the privacy of its customers, so all the data required on the website is only used for the purposes of communicating with customers and any requests for information. EPB collects the following data via the website’s contact forms: name, e-mail address, mobile phone number and any professional data. We obtain this data when it is voluntarily submitted by you. Other information, such as details about your devices or IP address, is collected by other means, such as cookies (Google)
Scope and amendment of the Privacy Policy
We will only use your data for marketing purposes if you have previously authorised us to do so. EPB does not sell any user data to third parties. “Personal data” means all data that directly or indirectly identifies an individual, such as name, surname, telephone number, date of birth, email address, postal address or IP address. EPB guarantees the confidentiality of all data provided by its clients. Even so, despite obtaining the data securely, the collection on an open network allows personal data to circulate without security conditions, with the possibility of it being seen and used by third parties. We undertake to inform all customers if any such situation arises. Your data will only be kept for as long as is necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless the personal data in question is necessary to prove compliance with legal obligations, until the respective rights have expired, or if there is a longer period imposed by law. When your data is no longer necessary, it will be removed from our records. EPB reserves the right to change its Privacy Policy, so we advise you to regularly consult this document, as well as the Cookies Policy
