Data Protection and Terms of Use

Introduction

Article 9 of Supreme Decree No. 100 of 2006 of the Ministry General Secretariat of the Presidency states that the State Administration organizations must adopt, maintain, and declare a “Privacy Policy” for their corresponding websites which must be accessible in their main page. Although the application scope of the regulation is limited to the bodies of the State Administration and does not extend to other State bodies, this does not prevent them from adopting similar “Privacy Policies”, given the growing offer of online services. The inclusion of the information stated in a “Privacy Policy” at the home page of the website of public agencies aims to provide certainty to citizens regarding the processing of personal data that will be checked on the site as well as the rights they have and how they can exercise them, being the information’s availability subject to the use of the resources available online.

Next, Article 9 of the aforementioned Decree specifically states the “minimum” information that must be included in the “Privacy Policy”, being important to highlight that the information provided through SERNATUR’s portals seeks to exceed the legal standard in force, since through them the dissemination of citizens’ rights is emphasized, without undermining the powers of public agencies to treat personal data according to the applicable legal regulations. However, the decree itself admits the inclusion of additional information to the minimum content included therein.
