In this case, there may be two different situations resulting from the fact that the application was submitted spontaneously, or as a result of FFP’s market search. 

Being a spontaneous application, that is, the applicant presented on his/her own initiative his/her application, namely through the existing email address for this purpose (bolsadeemprego@fundacaofernandopessoa.pt), the following will be done:

• Being a spontaneous application, the applicant’s Curriculum Vitae (CV) may, with his/her consent, be considered for all open opportunities in the future. Applicant’s Personal Data are kept for one year, after which they will be deleted or, if it is in FFP’s interest, turn the data anonymous in such a way that the Applicant is not, or can no longer be, identified. The Applicant must submit a new application after this period if he/she wishes to continue to appear in FFP’s recruitment archives or, as an alternative, send us his/her written consent, on paper, or electronically by email, so that he/she can continue appearing in the recruitment file after the mentioned period of one year. In this case, he/she must expressly point out if the previously delivered CV is up to date, and if not, he/she undertakes to deliver a new one duly updated, otherwise his/her intention cannot be taken into account. The recipients or categories of recipients of his/her Personal Data are the following entities: Human Resources Department, the Administration and other Directorates and/or relevant roles to the analysis of the application which is being evaluated. The personal data may also be shared with other entities when required by law, or in response to a legal process, and also in situations involving the protection of lives, the security of services and the protection of FFP property rights.

• Being an application resulting from FFP’s market search to fulfill any role, the procedure will be as follows: The purpose of processing the Personal Data provided with the Applicant’s consent is to enable the implementation of the application process for the role or area to which he/she applies. If the Applicant does not include himself/herself in the vacancy to which he/she applied, but would like to have his/her CV reviewed in other opportunities open in the future, he/she must send us in writing, on paper, or electronically by email, his/her specified consent also allowing his/her personal data to be transferred to other department(s) within the FFP’s structure, when it is required to respond to other employment opportunities that may arise in the meantime. The Applicant’s Personal Data are retained for one year, after which they will be eliminated or, if in FFP’s interest, may be turned anonymous in such a way that the Applicant is no longer, or can no longer, be identified. The Applicant must submit a new application after this period if he/she wishes to continue to appear in FFP’s recruitment archives by giving us written, on paper or electronically, the consent to continue to be included in the recruitment archives after the mentioned period of one year. In this case, the applicant will need to update his/her CV, delivering a new version, without which this intention cannot be taken into account. The recipients, or categories of recipients, of his/her Personal Data are the Human Resources Department, the Administration and other Directorates and/or roles relevant to the analysis of the application which is being evaluated. The applicant’s personal data may also be shared with other entities when required by the Portuguese law, or in response to a legal process, and in situations involving the protection of lives, the security of services and the protection of the property rights of Foundation Fernando Pessoa. 

During the process of awarding research grants, we may collect and process applicant’s personal data. Personal data are those that appear in the publication of the competition, as well as any data that someone spontaneously decide to give us including name, surname, city, country, contact details, education and language information, employment history, and other that may be considered relevant.

UFP advertises on its website information regarding academic assessments, which includes the name of the applicant and of the members of the jury. 

UFP/HSH-FP may, within the scope of its tasks, use third parties, subcontracted, to provide certain services. Therefore, UFP/HSH-FP must ensure that the subcontractor or the third party to whom it is transmitting data, has sufficient implementing guarantees, whether technical or organizational, so that the processing meets the requirements of the legislation in force and ensures the defense of the rights of the data subject, in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation. Accordingly, data processing is governed by a contract or other regulation, which binds the subcontractor or third party to the rules established by UFP/HSH-FP as the data controller and defines the object and duration of the processing, the nature and purpose of the processing, the type of personal data and categories of data subjects as well as the obligations and rights of the controller.

Personal data processing operations are based on the provisions of Article 6 (Lawfulness of Processing) of the GDPR. This document seeks to clarify the use of personal data, even in situations where one would not need to obtain the consent foreseen in Article 6, nr. 1 (a) of the GDPR. This option aims at the transparency of the processing performed. 

UFP/HSH-FP does the following processing and use of personal data: ● The Applicant: • The name, the date of birth and the identification document are used to identify the Applicant.

However, can study certain characteristics of its community such as age distribution, school achievement, socio-economic indicators, always trying to make the data impersonal.

What is the basis for processing personal data

In order to provide certain services and thereby operate, FFP may have to make personal information available to third parties. This will only happen, however, in the specific circumstances specified below: a) With the express consent of the personal data subject; b) When in good faith we believe to be required by the Portuguese law; c) When in good faith we believe it comes from contractual stipulation; d) When in good faith we believe it is necessary to protect our rights or property.

The consent of the personal data subject will not be required for dissemination in the situations referred to in points (b) to (d). In any event, we will endeavor to inform him/her to the extent authorized by law.

Consent
The consent must be expressed – in writing, orally or through the validation of an option – and prior, freely, informed, specific and unambiguous; or

Specifically: consent by minors (18 years old)

In exceptional cases and to protect the data subject’s vital interests, as provided in Article 6, nr. 1 (d) of the GDPR, UFP/HSH-FP may give personal information to a healthcare professional, hospital entities, as well as to other entities with legitimacy, legal and judicial, to request them.

Policy implemented for data management and protection

At the physical level, our files are restricted to only a group of properly authorized and identified employees. Any document that leaves the archive is recorded, and its path is controlled in the protocol books until it returns to the archive. The document is only accessed by the authorized employee in compliance with his/her duties. An employee’s contract contains a confidentiality clause. This confidentiality clause binds the employee not to disclose nor use to his/her own or any third-party advantage, any FFP’s restricted information to which he/she had access, incurring civil and/or criminal liability before the Foundation, with respect to the damages caused, in case of breach of that obligation.

At the digital level, our network is subdivided and the access to each part is authorized depending on the user’s role. UFP/HSH-FP computers are protected by regularly updated antivirus. Computers also regularly receive operating system and application security updates. The servers are also protected by security updates and by the antivirus. The content of servers, namely databases, is protected by routine backups stored on magnetic tapes. The servers are distributed in three data centers with different physical locations. The servers with webpages, in terms of sensitive data, are minimalistic, i.e., do not have all the Institutional information, but only the one intended to serve the community. The complete information resides on separate servers, on their own networks, and are accessed internally. The information is accessed through applications that record, in case of personal data, the access date and the employee who accessed it. The only exception to this rule is the consultation of the Student’s name, photograph and number enrolled in a Curricular Unit (CU) by the teacher of that CU.

UFP/HSH-FP instructs its employees to use good security practices, such as not sharing passwords, shutting down or locking up the computer in their absence, foreseen in the manual of good practices of information security. UFP seeks to stay updated on new security strategies.
