• Contact details: Address, telephone number, mobile phone, e-mail address;
• Credit card data (these will be used exclusively for billing);
• Vila Vita may eventually require data regarding your health, e.g. we need to know if you have any food allergies or require special care.
• These data are considered "special category data" under the General Data Protection Regulation. Therefore, we require your explicit consent for this purpose.

4 - Retention period of personal data

Your collected personal data is processed in the strictest compliance with applicable law and is stored in our databases for this purpose.

The period of time during which your personal data will be stored and kept varies according to the purpose of data collection. However, whenever there is no specific legal requirement, the data will be stored only for the period strictly necessary for the purposes of its collection.

5 - Data recipients

As a rule, your personal data will not be shared with third parties without your consent. However, we may have to share some of your personal data with third parties, namely in order to comply with legal obligations, such as judicial and tax authorities or insurance companies (in case of any accident or claim for damage), or if required in the execution of legitimate interests of Vila Vita, Lda. or third parties, for example subcontractors.

In accordance with the law, data subjects enjoy the rights of information, the right of access to their personal data, the right to rectify or remove personal data the use of which is no longer legitimate, the right of portability, as well as the right of limitation or opposition.

Regarding the processing of personal data based on the consent of the data subject, at any time, the data subject is entitled to withdraw previously consent in the Annex to this Privacy Policy.

If the data subject considers that the Data Controller did not process their data in a legitimate manner under the terms provided for by law and this Privacy Policy, the data subject may submit a complaint to the Data Controller, which will give it the best attention and seek to reply to it. You can also complain to the competent Supervisory Authority.
