TM is the entity responsible for processing users' personal data. The personal data collected will be processed under the terms described here and for the purposes of providing the information, products and functionalities available, as well as for the purposes of complying with legal obligations.

1.2. Website use

Accessing and browsing the website does not imply the provision of personal data. However, the use of certain features of the website presupposes the provision of a set of personal data (for example, user identification when subscribing to the “TM Newsletter”). In this case, it will only be possible to take advantage of this functionality if you provide the requested personal data, which will be processed exclusively under the terms and for the purposes described here.

1.3. Participating in events and activities

Participating in events, conferences and activities held at TM, including the ones promoted by the Educational Service, may imply the collection of images (photography, video, or by other technical means) of the participants. The collection, use and diffusion of these materials are carried out with the express signed consent of the parties, in accordance with the specific Consent Declaration. The consent is not required if the image reproduction is framed in public places, public events of public interest or that have taken place publicly, in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 2 of article 79 of the Portuguese Civil Code (Right to image).

The images collected may be used exclusively for archival purposes, promotion of Teatro Micaelense's activities and dissemination on its digital platforms, including social networks and institutional website. The retention period will be defined according to the purpose of use and applicable legislation, with images being removed, when necessary, as per the formal request of the data subjects.

Teatro Micaelense guarantees that, before any collection of images, those responsible are informed in detail about the purposes of collection, the means of dissemination and the duration of their use. Teatro Micaelense ensures that, if the images collected include sensitive data (such as data related to health or religious beliefs), consent will also be treated with special care, respecting the rights and privacy of individuals.
