The website has no user registration or newsletter, and third-party statistics and marketing tools are only activated with the visitor's consent, under the Cookie Policy. The personal data processed are those the data subject chooses to send when contacting the nursery by email, by phone or through the website's quote request form, whose requests are stored on the website's platform and forwarded to the nursery by email. These data usually include name, email, phone number, town and request details, such as varieties, quantities, planting location and intended dates. For security and operational reasons, the server also records technical data of each access, such as the IP address, date and time, page requested and browser type, which are kept for a limited period.
The data are processed to answer information requests and prepare quotes, on the basis of pre-contractual steps taken at the data subject's request, under Article 6(1)(b) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Where there is a supply, the data are processed to manage the commercial relationship, invoicing and accounting and tax obligations, on the basis of the performance of the contract and compliance with legal obligations, under points (b) and (c) of the same provision. The server's technical logs and the defence of rights in the event of a dispute are based on the controller's legitimate interest, under point (f), and the statistics and marketing tools are based on the visitor's consent, under point (a), which may be withdrawn at any time through the "Cookie settings" link in the footer. Data sent in contacts are not used for marketing communications without prior consent, are not sold or transferred for commercial purposes and are not subject to automated decision-making or profiling.
Requests that do not result in a supply are kept for the time needed to answer them and, at most, two years after the last contact. Data related to invoicing are kept for the period required by tax and accounting legislation, currently ten years. After these periods, the data are deleted or anonymised.
The data may be accessed by service providers acting on behalf of Viveiros Da Bairrada - José Miguel Costa Unip. Lda, such as the providers of website hosting and email and the accounting firm, contractually bound to confidentiality and to the controller's instructions, as well as by public authorities where required by law. To show up-to-date availability, the visitor's browser consults a file published on Google Sheets, without cookies; in that request, Google receives technical data, such as the IP address and browser type, which it processes under its own privacy policy and which may be transferred outside the European Economic Area under the safeguards provided for in the GDPR. When the visitor accepts statistics or marketing cookies, the respective providers, such as Google or Meta, receive browsing data and device identifiers, which they process under their own policies and which may be transferred outside the European Economic Area under the same safeguards. The links to the map and to the Electronic Complaints Book lead to third-party websites with their own policies.
The data subject may at any time exercise the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, objection and data portability, and withdraw any consent given, without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing. To do so, simply send a request to josecosta@viveirosdabairrada.com or to the address indicated, which will be answered within one month at most. The data subject also has the right to lodge a complaint with the Portuguese Data Protection Authority (CNPD, www.cnpd.pt).
To understand how the website is used, the website itself records anonymous visit statistics, without cookies: the page viewed, the date and time, where the visit came from, the type of device, the operating system and browser, and the browser language. The IP address and browser are only used to generate a code that changes every day and is not stored, so these statistics cannot identify anyone. The records are deleted automatically after about 13 months.
Viveiros Da Bairrada - José Miguel Costa Unip. Lda applies appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against loss, unauthorised access or disclosure, including encrypted communication with the website.
