Data protection

 

The data subjects have the right to receive concise and transparent information, in clear and plain language, about the processing of their personal data.

To exercise their rights for the processing of their personal data, data subjects should preferably contact the Service or Body to whom they gave their data. If contact with that Body or Service proves to be ineffective or inconvenient, University of Minho has a Data Protection Officer who will assist data subjects in the exercise of their rights.

The data subjects have the right to file a complaint with a Supervisor Authority, whenever they find that the processing of personal data concerning them violates the personal data protection regime.

The processing of Special Categories of personal data is prohibited and can only be carried out under the conditions set out in article 9 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

The Subcontracting of the processing of personal data does not diminish the obligations of the Controller, and must be formalized in a document that determines the object, the duration, the nature and purpose of the processing, the categories of personal data and the categories of data subjects, and the obligations and rights of the Controller.

The transfer of data to countries outside the European Union, or International Organizations must guarantee a level of data protection equivalent to that in the Union.

Security incidents involving personal data must be reported to the Data Protection Officer for registration and risk assessment.
