Policy on Data Protection and Privacy

Starting from May 25th 2018, a new EU wide policy in personal data handling will take place. This measure tries to circumvent all companies in handling personal data from its users and clients in the matter of privacy content. All data received and stored has to be consented by the user. Optimistic complies with such standards, and by taking these steps, ensures all data will be processed accordingly.

OPTIMISTIC PLUS complies with all the Community and national legal rules applicable to data protection, privacy and security of information. 

OPTIMISTIC PLUS is currently implementing a System of Protection of Personal Data and an Information Security System, in order to assure normative compliance and the demonstration or evidence of the institution's responsibility on matter of data protection and security of information. This involves implementing all the necessary technical and organisational measures, both for compliance with the general legal system of the Data Protection Law in force, and for compliance with the special legal system of the General Data Protection Regulation, applicable from 25 May 2018 onwards.  For any clarification or further information or for exercise of rights in this regard, please contact the Data Protection Office of OPTIMISTIC PLUS by electronic mail to info@optimistic.pt.
