PRIVACY POLICY
Why do I process personal data?
Visitors to my website are not obliged to provide personal data. Nevertheless, anyone interested in my services can get in touch via my contact form, and some personal data has to be collected to establish communication.
The legal basis for processing your data is to perform the services you request or take the necessary steps before fulfilling that request and comply with legal requirements.
I collect, store and use such personal data to issue quotes, provide the services requested, issue invoices or comply with legal requirements.
I do not use your personal data for marketing purposes or disclose it to unauthorized third parties.
What data do I collect?
I hold data on clients, suppliers, collaborators, data processors, and potential clients for legitimate interests.
Personal data collected may include your name, postal address, email address, telephone number, ID/tax number, payment and delivery conditions, financial and bank account details. The data in question will be retained throughout the business relationship only or for the length of time stipulated to comply with legal and tax obligations.
How long do I keep this data?
Data relating to quotes will be retained for up to six months. In cases of work carried out, your personal data will be kept for up to five completed tax years to comply with tax obligations. I will also delete email communication after this period. Should you ask me to delete translations before this period has expired, I cannot be held responsible for queries or claims relating to the content, as I have no way of verifying the accuracy of the original content.
Who else may have access to your personal data?
If I send a text for revision or editing to a colleague, that text will be anonymized so that your personal data will not appear, or the colleague will be asked to sign a confidentiality agreement if necessary. They will be advised of their legal obligations concerning confidentiality and professional secrecy.
Other parties may access your personal data for administrative purposes, including my website and email hosting services. All these parties are also compliant with the EU General Data Protection Regulation, or in the case of US companies, are self-certified under the US Privacy Shield framework.
What are your rights?
I take all precautionary steps to guarantee the security, integrity, and confidentiality of your personal data in compliance with the European General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 in relation to the processing of personal data and the free movement of such data.
Under the abovementioned EU regulation, you are entitled to access, modify, erase, or contest the personal data that I hold. Please send your request directly to me ana@anasofiacorreia.com, and I will act upon this as soon as possible, within a maximum of one month from the date of your request.
Please get in touch with me if you have any concerns about how I process your personal data. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory body in Portugal or in the country where you live.
What security measures do I take?
I take all possible precautionary measures to safeguard your personal data.
The equipment used for storing and processing personal data is updated as frequently as possible. Anti-virus software is installed to prevent the theft or destruction of this information and is regularly updated.
Personal data is periodically backed up on a device other than that used on a day-to-day basis. The copy is stored in a secure place, separate from the computer containing the original files, to recover personal data in the event of loss or damage. Should this backup be done via electronic methods, an encrypted form is used to guarantee the confidentiality of the personal data in the event of unlawful third-party access. All electronic systems for storing or processing personal information are password protected.
Cookies

Social media features
