Privacy Policy

How we protect and use personal information

NECHO TECHLAW respects your privacy. Any personal data you provide is handled in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679, the “GDPR”) and Portuguese Law no. 58/2019.

I. ABOUT THIS POLICY

This website is operated for NECHO TECHLAW, a registered brand of Henrique Necho Unipessoal, Lda. We are committed to providing a secure, clear and useful online experience while protecting the personal information entrusted to us.

If you have a question about this policy, the website or the way your information is used, please contact us using the details published on our Contact page.

II. OUR PRIVACY PRINCIPLES

  • We treat the security of personal data as an ongoing responsibility.
  • Access is limited to authorised people and legitimate purposes.
  • We recognise that personal data belongs to the individual it describes.
  • We collect only what is proportionate to the service or relationship concerned.

Links to third-party websites are provided for convenience. Their content and privacy practices are outside NECHO TECHLAW’s control, and this policy applies only to our own website and services.

III. INFORMATION FOR DATA SUBJECTS

1. Who is responsible for the processing?

Henrique Necho Unipessoal, Lda., owner of the NECHO TECHLAW brand, is the data controller.

2. What is personal data?

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual. A person may be identifiable directly or indirectly, including by reference to an identifier or to characteristics of their physical, economic, professional, cultural or social identity.

3. How do we collect personal data?

  • Through this website, including forms you choose to submit.
  • In writing or during a contractual or pre-contractual relationship.
  • Through direct professional contact when you request information or services.

Where consent is the appropriate legal basis, it must be freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous. You may withdraw it at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before that point.

4. What categories of data may we process?

  • Identity data, such as your name.
  • Contact data, such as an email address or telephone number.
  • Professional data, including role, organisation and business context.
  • Education and employment information, where relevant to a recruitment process.
  • Billing and transaction data, including tax and invoicing information.
  • Image or audio records, where they are relevant and lawfully collected.

Data is stored and processed using appropriate technical and organisational safeguards. Special-category data, and information relating to criminal convictions or offences, is processed only where a lawful exception under Articles 9 or 10 of the GDPR applies.

5. Why do we process personal data?

Depending on the relationship, personal data may be used to:

  • Respond to a request for information or provide a service.
  • Identify and manage a client or prospective client relationship.
  • Issue invoices and meet accounting requirements.
  • Comply with legal and regulatory duties.
  • Manage and perform a contract.
  • Improve the usability and relevance of our website and services.
  • Send relevant updates or offers where you have consented to receive them.

The legal basis may be the performance of a contract or pre-contractual steps, compliance with a legal obligation, NECHO TECHLAW’s legitimate interests, or your consent.

6. How long do we keep personal data?

Retention depends on the purpose of processing and any statutory minimum period. Where no specific legal period applies, data is kept only for as long as it is reasonably needed, then securely deleted or anonymised. Data processed on the basis of consent is retained until consent is withdrawn or the purpose no longer applies, subject to any overriding legal duty.

7. What rights do you have?

Subject to the conditions set out in the GDPR, you may exercise the following rights:

  • Access — ask whether we process your data and request a copy.
  • Rectification — correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
  • Erasure — request deletion where one of the legal grounds applies.
  • Restriction — ask us to limit processing in defined circumstances.
  • Portability — receive eligible data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.
  • Objection — object to certain processing, including direct marketing.

To exercise a right, contact us using the email address shown on this website. We may need to verify your identity before completing the request.

8. How do we protect personal data?

We use proportionate technical and organisational controls designed to protect the availability, authenticity, integrity and confidentiality of personal data. These controls are reviewed and improved as technology, risk and our services evolve.

9. Do we share data with third parties?

We may disclose information where required by law. We may also use carefully selected service providers that process data on our behalf. Those providers are contractually required to follow our instructions and apply appropriate safeguards.

10. Do we transfer data outside the European Economic Area?

NECHO TECHLAW does not currently transfer personal data to countries outside the European Economic Area.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes in law, technology or our services. Material updates will be made visible on this website. Continued use of the website is subject to the version then in force.
