We appreciate your decision to use our website somani.pt and to trust us with your valuable personal information. In this document, we seek to explain in the clearest terms possible our privacy practices. We strongly encourage you to read this document (and any other related documents, such as our Cookie Policy) carefully before using the website. If there are any terms or conditions in this document that you do not agree with, please do not use the website, or in case you are already using it, please discontinue the use immediately. By using the website, you are accepting and consenting to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

What information do we collect about you?

When we collect information, we do so to ensure that you get to experience our service seamlessly. The personal information that we may collect about you is the following:

• Name
• Address
• Email address
• Identification number
• Location data
• Professional or employment-related information

How do we collect such information?

We may use any of the following three ways to get information about you:

• Information that you give us
• Information that we automatically collect from you
• Information that we collect from third parties

a. Information that you give us

When you contact us through the forms on our website (for example, to request a B2B quote or to send a spontaneous application), we ask for details such as your name, company and email address. This information is not limited to these examples and may vary according to the nature of your request.

b. Information that we automatically collect from you

When you access our service from a device, we may automatically collect information from your device, such as through the use of cookies. You will find more about the automatic collection of personal information in the next section.

c. Information that we collect from third parties

These third parties can be data aggregators, online directories, data marketplaces or exchanges, etc., from where we may collect information about you.

Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small packets of information that are placed on your device, so that we can retrieve information about you, such as your choices on our website and other information.

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies. Strictly necessary cookies keep the website working properly; analytics and advertising cookies are only used with your consent, which you can give, refuse or withdraw at any time through the cookie banner. For full details, including the list of cookies we use, please read our Cookie Policy.

“Do Not Track” requests

Our website does not currently respond to “Do Not Track” browser signals. You can, however, refuse or withdraw your consent to non-essential cookies at any time through the “Consent preferences” option described in our Cookie Policy.

Why do we collect information about you?

We collect information about you for a variety of reasons. It helps us, among other things, to serve you better. The following are the ways in which we use the information that we collect about you:

• To contact the user
• To comply with legal obligations
• To measure and improve our advertising, with your consent
• To send marketing and promotional communications
• To examine the usage trends

How long do we retain your information?

We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements). No purpose in this notice requires us to retain your personal information for longer than is needed to answer your request and to manage any business relationship that results from it. Spontaneous job applications are kept for up to two years, as described on our Careers page.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymise such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

Do we share your information?

We may share your information with third parties in the following ways:

• Sharing with your consent: when you give consent, we may share your information with third parties for the purposes that are mentioned in the consent notification.
• Legal obligations: we may disclose information where we are legally required to do so in order to comply with applicable law, governmental requests, a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process, such as in response to a court order or a subpoena (including in response to public authorities to meet national security or law enforcement requirements).
• For business transfers: we may share your personal information in connection with, or during the course of negotiations regarding, any merger, sale of business assets, financing or acquisition of all or a part of our business by another entity.
• Service providers: we use providers for website hosting, email and analytics, who process data on our behalf and under our instructions.

Sale of information

We do not sell the information we collect from our users.

Consequences of non-consent

Upon verification that we have collected such information without parental consent, we will remove the information from our database.

Security of your personal information

We take reasonable measures to ensure that the information we collect from you is stored securely and protected to the best extent possible. However, no method of internet transmission or digital storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. While we use commercially reasonable and appropriate security measures to protect your information, we cannot promise that it will be 100% secure.
