Privacy Policy and Data Protection

About the Application Form

In filling out and submitting our Application Form you are explicitly agreeing with the collecting, processing and using of the personal data introduced, by Associação Cultural Montes Claros (ACMC), in order to operate, promote and enhance its activity, as well as to contact you and provide you with information about Montes Claros University Hall of Residence and its correlated activities. Under the Portuguese Law for Personal Data Protection, through the email address: mc+dados@montesclaros.pt or any other contact provided by ACMC, you will always be able to revoke this consent and exercise the right to access, update, correct or eliminate your personal data.

ACMC, in the course of its activity, may hire services from third parties. If those services imply the access to personal data collected by ACMC, we will make all the efforts to ensure that those entities have a great reputation and high standards concerning data protection, what will be specifically settled in the contract to be established between ACMC and those third parties. Thus, any entity hired by ACMC will lead with the personal data on its behalf as if we were doing it, taking all the technical and organizational actions to protect personal data from accidental or illegal destruction, loss, change, diffusion, unauthorized access or any other illegal processing. In any case, ACMC will remain responsible for all the data you provide to us.

Our Application Form uses the service “Google Forms” of Google© Inc., established in the US. Its use binds the user to “Google Terms and Conditions”, which might be checked on https://policies.google.com/terms. The user firmly exempts Associação Cultural Montes Claros from any liability resulting from the default on those terms and conditions.

Social media buttons

Before you can use these buttons, you must activate them with a click. After activation, the system establishes a direct connection with the server of the social network chosen.

Once the user clicks the button, the selected social network can collect data, regardless of whether the user has an account on that social network or not. If the user has an account on the social network, that network can associate the user’s visit to our website and the user account.

The user should be aware that we have no influence on the volume of data collected by social networks through these buttons. To know the volume of data collected, the purpose of the collection, the ways of treating and using the information by the social networks, as well as the rights and possibilities that the user has to protect his privacy, we refer to the sections concerning data protection published by social networks.
