Algarve Residence Privacy Statement

This document declares the undertakings by Algarve Residence in relation to its handling of Your Data.



1 - Data Collection

Algarve Residence undertakes to collect Your Data by means that are:

> fair;
> legal; and
> transparent.

If you visit Algarve Residence web-site, your web-browser automatically discloses, and Algarve Residence web-server automatically logs, the following information: the date and time, the IP address from which you issued the request, the type of browser and operating system you are using, the URL of any page that referred you to the page, the URL you requested, and whether your request was successful. This data may or may not be sufficient to identify you.

Any additional data that you provide, e.g. in a web-form, may also be logged. This data may or may not be sufficient to identify you.

Any additional data that your web-browser automatically provides may also be logged. This will be the case, for example, if your browser has previously been requested to store data on your computer in 'cookies' and submits them each time you request a web-page within a particular domain (such as algarve-residence.com). This data may or may not be sufficient to identify you.

If you disclose personal data to Algarve Residence in conjunction with an identifier such as your name or your credit-card details, Algarve Residence will collect Your Data. Moreover, any data that becomes available to Algarve Residence through any of the means described in the preceding paragraphs may be able to be associated with that identifier, and hence become Your Data.

Subject to the qualifications immediately below, Algarve Residence undertakes to collect Your Data from you and not from other parties. This undertaking is qualified as follows:

where Algarve Residence reasonably considers that the protection of its financial interests requires that it gather YourData from other sources, or from additional sources. This applies in particular where Algarve Residence has a lending exposure to you, and seeks information about your creditworthiness;

where Algarve Residence reasonably considers that its capability to deliver quality services to you will be materially enhanced by gathering YourData from other sources. This applies in particular to consumer profile data.

Where Algarve Residence collects Your Data from sources other than you, it undertakes:

> to do so only by legal means;
> to do so only with your Consent; and
> to declare to you what sources it uses, and under what circumstances.

Algarve Residence undertakes to declare the purpose of collection in a manner which is clear and meaningful, and to avoid vague, highly inclusive statements such as 'to support our operations'.


2 - Data Security
 
Algarve Residence undertakes to store Your Data in a manner that ensures security against unauthorised access, alteration or deletion, at a level commensurate with its sensitivity.

Algarve Residence undertakes to store Your Data only in jurisdictions where data protections are at least equivalent to those required under the OECD Guidelines.

Algarve Residence undertakes to transmit Your Data in a manner that ensures security against unauthorised access, alteration or deletion, at a level commensurate with its sensitivity.

Algarve Residence undertakes to implement appropriate measures to ensure security of Your Data against inappropriate behaviour by Algarve Residence staff-members and contractors. These include:

training for staff in relation to privacy;
access control, to limit access to Your Data to those staff and contractors who have legitimate reasons to access it;
particularly in the case of sensitive data, audit trails of accesses, including the identities of staff and contractors accessing the data;
reminders to staff and contractors from time to time about the importance of data privacy, and the consequences of inappropriate behaviour;
declaration of appropriately strong sanctions that are to be applied in the event of inappropriate behaviour

clear communication of policies and sanctions; and
processes to audit, to investigate and to impose sanctions.
 
 
3 - Data Use

Use refers to the application of Your Data by any part of Algarve Residence, or any staff-member or contractor of Algarve Residence in the course of their work.

Algarve Residence undertakes to use Your Data only for:

the purposes for which it was collected;
such other purposes as are subsequently agreed between Algarve Residence and You;
such additional purposes as may be required by law. In these circumstances, Algarve Residence will take any reasonable steps available to it to communicate to You that the use has occurred, unless it is precluded from doing so by law; and

such additional purposes as are authorised by law (in particular to protect Algarve Residence interests, e.g. if it believes on reasonable grounds that You have failed to fulfil your undertakings to Algarve Residence or have committed a breach of the criminal law).

Algarve Residence undertakes to use YourData only if it has demonstrable relevance to the particular use to which it is being put.

Algarve Residence undertakes to use YourData in such a manner as to take into account the possibility that it is not of sufficient quality for the purpose, e.g. because it is inaccurate, out-of-date, incomplete, or out-of-context.
 
 
4 - Data Disclosure
 
Disclosure refers to making YourData available to any party other than Algarve Residence and You. The term disclosure may include many different conditions of data transfer, including selling, renting, trading, sharing and giving.

Algarve Residence undertakes to disclose Your Data only under the following circumstances:

in the course of business being conducted between You and Algarve Residence, where disclosure is necessary to a contractor, such as a transport company. Where Your Data is disclosed in this way, Algarve Residence undertakes to exercise control over Algarve Residence's contractors to ensure that their actions are compliant with these Terms;

in other circumstances that are directly implied by the purpose agreed between You and Algarve Residence at the time of data collection or subsequently. Where Your Data is disclosed in this way, Algarve Residence undertakes to exercise control over Algarve Residence's contractors to ensure that their actions are compliant with these Terms;


with your consent, or at your request;
where required by law, such as a provision of a statute, or a court order such as a search warrant or sub poena. In these circumstances, Algarve Residence will take any reasonable steps available to it to communicate to You that the disclosure has occurred, unless it is precluded from doing so by law;
where permitted by law (e.g. the reporting of suspected breach of the criminal law to a law enforcement agency; and in an emergency, where Algarve Residence believes on reasonable grounds that the disclosure of YourData will materially assist in the protection of the life of health of some person), provided that Algarve Residence will apply due diligence to ensure that the exercise of the permission is justifiable.

will take any reasonable steps available to it to communicate to You that Your Data is being retained, unless it is precluded from doing so by law; andwill only retain Your Data while that provision is current, and will then destroy Your Data;

 > conveniently;
 > without unreasonable delay; and
 > without cost.

Algarve Residence undertakes to establish and operate identity authentication protections for access to Your Data that are appropriate to its sensitivity, but practical. This may involve some inconvenience; for example, relatively straightforward procedures may be involved in order to provide you with access through a channel that you have previously registered with Algarve Residence (such as a particular email-address), but may impose more onerous procedures if you wish to use some other channel.

In the event that you dispute some aspect of Your Data, Algarve Residence undertakes to take reasonable steps in relation to the amendment, supplementation or deletion of Your Data.

Algarve Residence declares that its undertakings in these Terms are intended to create legal obligations, and that those obligations are intended to be enforceable under appropriate laws in appropriate jurisdictions.
