1.INTRODUCTION

Future Healthcare Group, founded in 2003, is a private company with Portuguese capital, with headquarters at Avenida Marechal Craveiro Lopes nº 6 in Lisboa, whose mission is to provide its clients with access to the best health conditions, life and well-being.

Future Healthcare SA and UnlimitedCare SA (owner of the trademark Saúde Prime), hereinafter FH Group, are part of this group.

This Privacy Policy applies to the entire FH Group.

The aim of this document is to define a data protection policy that frames and publicises the principles of the protection and processing of personal data, respecting and following Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016, General Regulation on Data Protection. The FH Group has access to two types of data: personal data and health data.

Personal data can be defined as information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier, such as a name, an identification number, location data, electronic identifiers or one or more specific items to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

Health data is personal data relating to the physical or mental health of a natural person, including the provision of health services, which reveal information about his or her state of health.

2. DATA PROTECTION OFFICER

For data protection purposes, there is a Data Protection Officer (DPO) who should be contacted whenever necessary at one of the following addresses:

Avenida Marechal Craveiro Lopes nº6 – Campo Grande 1700-284 Lisboa

The DPO has several responsibilities, in particular to:

      • Inform and advise the data controller, subcontractors and all company employees handling personal data;
      • Check whether the General Regulation on Data Protection is being applied, as well as this Policy;
      • Cooperate with the supervisory authority.

The DPO always bears in mind the nature, scope, context and purposes of the operations to which the data collected by the FH Group is subject to.

3. DATA COLLECTION

The data collected by the FH Group is appropriate, relevant and limited to its activities. It may be collected in person, by telephone, e-mail or in writing, always with the consent of the data subject. Definition of consent: a free, specific, informed and explicit expression of will by which the data subject (or his/her legal representative) agrees, by a declaration or unequivocal positive act, that personal data concerning him/her will be processed.
In the context of client data management, the personal data collected is only transmitted to the entities in charge of providing the services covered by the contract, with the sole and exclusive purpose of carrying out and executing the services contracted by the data subject of the personal data.

4. CATEGORY OF PERSONAL DATA WE PROCESS

Some of the personal data that we request has a mandatory character, so without it, it will not be possible for us to provide the product and/or service. In these cases, the client will always be informed of this obligation.

For data of other insured persons and beneficiaries, you should ensure that the data has been transmitted because you were authorised to do so - similarly, you should share this privacy policy with them.

How we use your data:  

- Personal data (Name, identification and contact details)

At the time of a simulation

In the process of subscribing to a product

When you create an account on our website

5. DATA PROCESSING

Data processing is lawful, fair, transparent and secure and can only exist if at least one of the following situations occurs:

  • The data subject has given his or her consent to the processing of his or her data for the purposes to which it is subject to and may at any time withdraw it as easily as he or she has granted it;
  • The processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party;
  • The processing is necessary for the fulfilment of a legal obligation;
  • The processing is necessary in order to defend the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person;
  • The processing is necessary for civil service purposes;
  • The processing is necessary for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by the controller.

Since the FH Group deals with special categories of personal data - related to health, they are only processed in the following cases:

  • If explicit consent is given for one or more specific purposes, it may be withdrawn at any time, with the same ease with which it was given; it should be noted that withdrawal of consent does not compromise the lawfulness of data processing but may condition some future service.
  • If the processing is necessary for legislative purposes;
  • If the processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or natural person;
  • If the processing is carried out by a foundation, association or other body maintaining the appropriate guarantees;
  • If the processing relates to data which has been made public by the data subject;
  • If the processing is necessary for legal proceedings;
  • If the processing is necessary for public reasons;
