4. PERSONAL DATA, HOLDERS OF SENSITIVE AND ORGANISATIONAL INFORMATION, AND CATEGORIES OF PERSONAL DATA
What is personal data?
Sensitive information, organisational information and personal data are all information of any kind, collected on any medium, relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. Identifiable information is information that can lead to the identification of a particular person, in particular by reference to an identifier (such as an identification number or location data).
From whom do we collect personal data?
In view of the functional and activity tasks, most of the data are processed from legal persons (companies and associations). However, for the fulfilment of its tasks, data may be collected and processed from the following types of natural persons (non-exhaustive list):
- Customers/investors and their staff;

- Specific suppliers and subcontractors;
- Candidates and trainees of the Altis Hotels Group;
- Candidates and clients of programmes promoted by the Altis Hotels Group;
- Participants in events promoted by the Altis Hotels Group;

What sensitive information, organisational and personal data do we process and how do we collect it?
The Altis Hotels Group only collects data that is appropriate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes and services provided and activities developed.
Your data may be collected orally, in writing (including through forms and contracts), and via the website https://altishotels.com/. As a general rule, we collect your data directly, but sensitive information, organisational and personal data may also be collected through public sources (such as websites and official public lists), as well as from incentive providers or partners.
To fulfil the different purposes, we may collect the following types of personal data:
- Identification data (such as name, place of birth, national identity card or date of birth);
- Contact details (such as mobile phone, address or email);
- Qualification data and professional status (such as level of education and CV);
- Bank, financial and transaction details (such as IBAN or tax identification number);
- Location data (such as IP address);
- Recording images;
- Images collected through video surveillance systems.
As a rule, the Altis Hotels Group does not collect special data, such as health data or data relating to administrative offences or criminal offences.
5. GROUNDS AND PURPOSES FOR PROCESSING PERSONAL DATA
Why and on what basis do we use your personal data?
All data collected and processed by the Altis Hotels Group is based on one of the following conditions of lawfulness:
- Consent: when the collection is preceded by your express, specific and informed consent, through written support or via the web. We collect your consent, for example, for purposes related to the Altis Hotels Group, to subscribe to newsletters or to enrol in actions promoted by the Altis Hotels Group;
- Performance of contract or pre-contractual steps: when processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or for pre-contractual steps. This condition will be fulfilled when we process your data for the purpose of managing funding and cooperation programmes and protocols or supply and service contracts;
- Compliance with legal obligations: when processing is necessary for the fulfilment of a legal obligation. This includes, for example, the communication of data to other public (national and EU), tax or judicial bodies;
- The public interest: when the processing is necessary for the exercise of functions in the public interest;
- Legitimate interest: where processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, without adversely affecting the rights and freedoms of its customers and/or users.
This includes all processing resulting from the attributions conferred by law, namely the internal and external publicising of Portuguese entities, at national and international level.
What are the purposes for which we collect your data?
Sensitive information, organisational and personal data collected by the Altis Hotels Group are only processed for specific, explicit and legitimate purposes. Whenever personal data is collected, it is exclusively for the purposes expressly identified at the time of collection.
We list below the main purposes that justify the collection of sensitive information, organisational and personal data by the Altis Hotels Group:
- Contractualisation and management of programmes and protocols of the Altis Hotels Group;
- Management of events promoted by the Altis Hotels Group;
- Contractualisation of supply and service provision;
- Dissemination of newsletters/publications;
- Physical security of premises and persons.
6. RETENTION PERIOD OF PERSONAL DATA
The Altis Hotels Group processes and retains your data only for the period necessary for the pursuit or completion of the processing purposes for which they are intended, in compliance with the maximum periods necessary to fulfil contractual, legal or regulatory obligations.
As a general rule, and when there is a contract or provision of services that legitimises the processing of your data, the Altis Hotels Group will keep such data as long as such commercial or contractual relationship is maintained. Other circumstances exist, such as compliance with legal or regulatory obligations (for example, for the purpose of complying with tax obligations, sensitive information, organisational and personal data relating to invoicing must be kept for a maximum period of ten years from the practice of the act), as well as the pendency of a judicial process, which may legitimise that your data be kept for a longer period of time. At the end of the retention period, the Altis Hotels Group will delete said data both in physical and digital form.
7. DATA SUBJECTS' RIGHTS
Under the terms of the legislation in force, from the moment we collect and process your data, there is a set of rights that, at any time, you can exercise with the Altis Hotels Group.
What are your rights?
- Right of access: right that allows you to obtain information regarding the processing of your data and its characteristics (namely the type of data, the purpose of the processing, to whom your data may be communicated, retention periods and which data you have to provide mandatorily or optionally);
- Right of rectification: the right to request the rectification of your data, requiring it to be accurate and current, such as when you believe it is incomplete or out of date;
- Direito de retificação: o direito de solicitar a retificação dos seus dados, exigindo que sejam exactos e actuais, por exemplo, quando considerar que estão incompletos ou desactualizados;
- Right to restriction: the right to suspend processing or to limit processing to certain categories of data or purposes;
- Right to portability: the right to request that your data be sent to you in a commonly used digital format that allows the re-use of such data. Alternatively, you may request the transmission of your data to another entity that will become responsible for the processing of your data.
- Right to object: the right to object to certain purposes, provided that legitimate interests do not outweigh your interests. One example of this right is to object to direct marketing purposes;
- Right to withdraw consent: a right that allows you to withdraw your consent, but which can only be exercised when your consent is the only condition of legitimacy.
How can you exercise your rights?
All the rights described above may be exercised, subject to the limitations provided for in the applicable legislation, upon written request, to be sent through our form. Likewise, you may send questions related to the processing of your data directly to the Data Protection Officer, through the e-mail indicated in point 2.
