In any case, there is a commitment to confidentiality in order to assure customers that they will not use the same data for any purpose.

2. Contract execution and pre-contractual procedures

or

3. Legitimate interest

When the processing of personal data corresponds to a legitimate interest of AFJ or of third parties. E.g.: to respond to a request for contact.

Your personal data are treated by AFJ only for the period of time necessary to achieve the defined purpose or, depending on what is applicable, until you exercise your right of opposition, right to be forgotten or withdraw consent. After the respective storage period has elapsed, AFJ will eliminate or anonymize the data when they are not to be stored for a different purpose that can be maintained.

AFJ treats and preserves your personal data according to the purposes for which they are processed.
There are cases in which the law requires the processing and preservation of data for a minimum period of time, namely: for 10 years the data necessary to informe the Tax Authority for accounting or tax purposes.

But, where there is no specific legal obligation, then the data will be processed only for the period necessary to fulfil the purposes that led to their collection and preservation and always in accordance with the law, guidelines and decisions of the CNPD. Thus, AFJ will treat and maintain your personal data for the period in which it has a contractual relationship with you.

AFJ may keep other personal data for periods longer than the duration of the contractual relationship, either based on your consent, or to ensure rights or duties related to the contract, or because it has legitimate interests that justify it, but always for the period strictly necessary to the fulfilment of the respective purposes and in accordance with the guidelines and decisions of the CNPD, namely the contact for marketing and sales purposes
.

The collection can be done orally, in writing or through the AFJ website. But your personal information may also be collected from sources accessible to the public or other sources.
