Personal Data

When visiting our website, we may request the submission of some mandatory personal data. 

Personal data is specific information about unique or factual characteristics of an individual identified from that data. This includes, among other information, name, address, telephone number, and date of birth.

Information that does not allow the identification or that we can’t link to your identity cannot be considered personal data.

How and why we use your data

We will process the personal data you provided by you following this Privacy Policy and data protection rules according to the European Parliament’s Portuguese Law No. 67/98, of October 27, 1998 (Law No. 67/98). The user agrees to the use of his personal information for the following purposes:

• contact you through publications, direct marketing material, and invitations to events that interest you (you may unsubscribe from such communications at any time by sending an email to info@scoutingsystem.com placing “Unsubscribe” in the email subject). All of our communications also include a “Cancel” link;
• fraud verification and prevention;
• track verification on our websites/digital platforms;
• personalize and improve your experience on websites/digital media;
• when required by law or when needed to meet a regulator’s requirements.

When you interact with our digital platforms, we collect all the data listed below about your visit. We collect the data to help us better understand how customers use our digital media to enable us to create better content and more relevant communications:

• how to access our digital platforms and the internet protocol (IP) used;
• browser type, versions, plug-ins, and operating system;
• the path is taken by you on our digital platforms, including which links you access and all searches made, how long you stayed on a page, and other page interaction information;
• which videos you watch and for how long;
• which contents you “like” and which you share;
• what ads you see and respond to;

• we can conclude which country you are located in from the IP address used to access our digital platforms. We can analyze the activity that determines the execution of specific operations on our digital platforms (for example, downloading an app).

Disclosure of your data

To promote our products and services or fulfill contracts, we may need to designate another organization that processes your data on our behalf. These operations may include, for example, payment processing organizations, delivery organizations, fraud prevention and screening, credit risk management companies, or postal collection and delivery companies.

We may also share your data with third parties:

• if there is a legal or regulatory duty to do so;
• if it is necessary to do so to enforce our Terms and Conditions or other contractual rights;
• to legally assist the police or security services in the prevention and detection of crime or terrorist activity;

We may share your data with our partners, which have been carefully selected and may change from time to time. However, we only share the data if you have consented to receive marketing related to our partners or if one of the conditions in the paragraph above applies.

Some organizations to which we may disclose your personal information are located outside of Portugal and the European Union, in countries that may not have laws that protect privacy rights as widely as in Portugal. If we transfer your data to other territories, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that this Privacy Policy covers it.

In disclosing your data to third parties, we guarantee that your information is adequately protected.
