What are personal data?
Personal data are information related to a living, identified or identifiable, person. Personal data are also the set of distinct information that may lead to the identification of a given person.
A person is identifiable when they are a natural person that may be identified, directly or indirectly, especially by referencing an identifier, such as a name or an identification number, among others.
Who are the data subjects?
Data subjects are private individuals that commercially engage with MCS and to whom these data refer.
How are personal data processed?
As far as this website is concerned, MCS provides the subscription of informative contents.
This voluntary subscription entails the supply of personal data (name and e-mail address), which are exclusively used to deliver MCS information (announcements, newsletter, flashes, invitations to events and any other activities, be they owned by MCS or in which MCS takes part).
MCS also provides on-line unsolicited application forms, and the data thereby submitted by the User for recruitment purposes are solely used for that particular purpose. We encourage the User that might utilise said forms to exclusively provide personal data that are strictly required for the appraisal of their application, and to withhold the rest.
What are the grounds for the processing of personal data?
The processing of your personal data may be based, depending on the data and processing types, on the following grounds:
- Formal consent by the data subjects; or
- Legitimate interest by the MCS; or
- Compliance with a statutory obligation imposed on MCS.

All personal data provided to MCS will be processed for the purposes stated at collection time.
Your consent is vital for the processing of your personal data, by MCS, for the stated purposes; however, should you choose not to give your consent, your visit and usage of our website will not be impacted.
What are the data subjects’ rights?
In accordance with applicable law, the User is granted the following rights:
- Right of access, by which the User may request access to their personal data processed by MCS and procure all related information;
- Right of rectification of their personal data, so that said data remain accurate, comprehensive and updated;
- Right to erasure of their personal data (“the right to be forgotten”), if no valid grounds for their storage by MCS exist, namely for compliance with any legal obligations applicable to MCS;
- Right to object to the processing of their personal data, such as, for example, for direct marketing purposes;
- Right to impose restrictions to the processing of their personal data, namely by restricting the processing scope to certain data categories or processing purposes;
- Right to withdraw consent, which entitles the data subject to withdraw their consent to the processing of personal data under the legally applicable terms;
Should you wish to exercise any of the above-mentioned rights, please contact us in writing by e-mail at privacy@mcs.pt or by post addressed to Avenida do Infante 8, Edifício Executivo, Madeira, Portugal. MCS may require certain specific information to confirm your identity before replying to your request.
As a rule, MCS will not charge the data subject for accessing their data and exercising the related rights. However, MCS reserves the right to apply a reasonable charge if the data subject files successive, ungrounded or excessive requests, without prejudice to MCS’s ability to also decline said requests.
MCS will strive to reply to all legitimate requests within a 30 (thirty) days’ period, unless the request in question is particularly complex or comprised of several simultaneous requests.
The data subject shall always be able to issue an appeal to the applicable Controller Authority (“right of complaint”); in this case, the Comissão Nacional de Proteção dos Dados (National Committee for Data Protection), whose contact details can be found at www.cnpd.pt.
Are your personal data transferred across international borders?
Unless explicitly stated by MCS, your personal data shall not be transferred out of the European Economic Area (EEA).
Which security measures have been implemented?
We have implemented the appropriate security measures to protect your personal data from unauthorised or unlawful processing, and from loss, destruction or accidental damage.
Without prejudice to the previous statement, we must stress the fact the transmission of information on the Internet is never completely secure. For that reason, we cannot guarantee, in absolute terms, the security of the information transmitted on the Internet and in our website.
End note: MCS may update its privacy policy and the terms and conditions for using this website, both of which will be permanently updated on this website.
