Data Protection

When you visit our website, the browser used on your end device automatically transmits information to the server of our platform. This information is temporarily stored in a so-called log file. The following information is recorded without requir-ing any action on your part:

• the IP address of the requesting end device,
• the date and time of access,
• the name and URL of the retrieved file,
• the website from which access is made (so-called referrer URL),
• the browser used and, if necessary, the operating system of your computer and the name of your Internet access provider.

The above-listed data will be processed by us for the following purposes:

• to ensure a smooth connection of the website,
• to guarantee a user-friendly experience of our website,
• to evaluate system safety and stability,
• for other administrative purposes.

The data is stored in server log files in a format that allows the identification of the persons concerned, for a maximum period of 14 days, unless a security-relevant event occurs (e.g. a DDoS attack). When a security-relevant event occurs, server log files are stored until the security-relevant event has been eliminated and fully resolved.

The legal basis for data processing is our legitimate interest, which results from the above listed purposes for data collection. Under no circumstances will we use the data collected for the purpose of drawing conclusions about your person. The provision of this data is not required by law or contract or necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obligated to provide us with any personal information. If you choose to not provide such information, it will not be possible to access our website.

Furthermore, we use cookies and analytical services when you visit our website. You can find further information on this below.

We offer you the option of contacting us via a contact form which you can find by clicking on "Apply now" in the job-section of our website. You will need to provide us with your name, e-mail address, telephone number, birthday and information about your education, language-level, work-experience, the desired location of employment and a curriculum vitae. 

You also can send us an E-Mail to info@icando.pt using your preferred E-Mail server. When doing so, it is necessary to provide your name, a valid E-Mail address and a description of your concern so that we know who the request comes from and can appropriately address it. Additional information e.g. as in the application form may be provided voluntarily.

In the event that your enquiry concerns a contract to which you are a contractual party, or concerns the implementation of pre-contractual actions, the data processing will be carried out in accordance with Article 6 (1)(b) GDPR. For all other inquiries, data processing for the purpose of establishing contact is based on a balance of interests (Article 6 (1)(f) GDPR). In this case our legitimate interest is the processing of your request. 

If you are interested in our job-offers we store your information in order to find a suitable offer for you or to be able to send you such offers in the future based on the interests you have expressed.

You can find more information about applicant data protection at Can Do here.

The personal information collected by us in the course of contacting you will be deleted in accordance with the legal requirements after the inquiry you have made has been completed.

We have entered into data processing agreements with technical service providers which we use for the operation and maintenance of our website, as well as with the providers of tracking and web analysis tools listed in sections 2, 5 and 6 of this privacy policy, who process the data on our behalf for the purposes of user analysis and statistical evaluation. Service providers who process personal information on our behalf outside of the European Union (so-called third countries) will only be used if an adequacy decision by the European Commission or suitable or adequate safeguards are in place for this third country with respect to the recipient. Beyond that, we do not transfer or share your personal information with third parties, except for the purposes listed below. We will only disclose your personal information to third parties if the following is applicable:

• you have provided your explicit consent,
• the disclosure of information is necessary to protect our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party and there is no reason to assume that you have an interest worthy of protection in not disclosing your data,
• in the event that there is a legal obligation for disclosure, and
• a disclosure is legally permissible and required for the processing of contractual relationships.

Service providers who process personal data on our behalf outside the European Union (so-called third countries) will only be used without your consent in accordance with Article 49 (1)(a) GDPR if an adequacy decision by the European Commis-sion or suitable guarantees have been obtained from the recipient for this third country. If you consent to the transfer of your personal data to third countries, we will transfer your data to the USA in connection with the following services without suitable data protection guarantees:

• Google Analytics, Google Ads, Google Dynamic Remarketing, Google Mar-keting Platform (Google Ireland Limited / Google LLC)
• Facebook Pixel

The transfer of personal data to third countries that do not offer an adequate level of data protection (in particular to the USA) carries the risk that the data may be processed for the purposes of third parties without your knowledge and that the data may not be protected against access by third parties. In particular, there may be governmental access in the USA, for example, within the scope of intelligence investigation powers according to Section 702 FISA and Executive Order 12 333.

For the purpose of designing our platform to meet the needs of our customers and continuously optimizing it, we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) ("Google"). In this context, pseudonymized user profiles are created and cookies are used.

The information generated by the cookie about your use of this platform, such as

• browser type/version,
• the operating system used,
• referrer URL (the previously visited page),
• host name of the accessing computer (IP address),
• time of the server request,

are transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The information is used to evaluate the use of the platform, compile reports on the platform activities and provide additional services connected with the use of the platform and the internet for the purposes of market research and the design of this platform in line with the requirements. This information may also be transferred to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties process this information on our behalf. Under no circumstances will your IP address be merged with other Google data. IP addresses are made anonymous so that an assignment is not possible (IP masking). This means that your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the Euro-pean Economic Area before.

You can prevent the installation of cookies by means of a corresponding setting in the browser software; however, we would like to point out that not all functions of this platform can be used to their full extent in this case. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the platform (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing a browser add-on.

Further information on data protection in connection with Google Analytics can be found on Google Analytics Help.

We also use Google Analytics to evaluate data from AdWords and the double-click cookie for statistical purposes. You can deactivate this in the Ads Preferences Manager if you prefer.

We use Google Tag Manager, an application that allows us to manage website tags from a single interface. Tags are small pieces of code on our website that are used, to measure visitor traffic and behavior, measure the impact of online advertising and social channels, use remarketing and targeting, and test and optimize our website among other things. The Tag Manager tool itself (which implements the tags) is a cookie-free domain. The tool triggers other tags that can collect data on their own. Google Tag Manager does not access this data.

We also use Google Ads for remarketing purposes. This tool is used to show you interest-based ads on other websites and apps that participate in the Google advertising network. Your browser stores cookies that allow us to recognize you as a visitor when you visit sites that are part of the Google advertising network. These sites may then display advertisements to you related to content you have previously viewed on our website or other websites or apps that use Google's remarketing feature. In addition, the information collected is used by Google to compile visit statistics for our website. Through these statistics, we learn the total number of users who clicked on our ad and also which pages of our website were subsequently called up by the respective user. For this purpose, anonymous data about your use of the platform is stored and transferred to a Google server in the USA based on your consent and stored there. These cookies are not used for personal identification. However, if you do not want the Google Ad remarketing function to work, you can disable data collection for these purposes by making the appropriate settings here and disabling cookies in your browser or device settings. 

Further information on data protection in connection with website statistics can be found here and general information on Google Ads can be found here.

We use the Google Dynamic Remarketing tag (embedded in all pages of our website) as part of Google Ads. Google Dynamic Remarketing allows us to not only display interest-based ads on other websites and apps for past visitors to our website, but also to display ads that include specific products and services that users have viewed on our website. For this purpose, we have created a feed with details of the services we wish to display as ads (Remarketing List). The Google Ads Product Referral Tool extracts individual services from this feed and determines the best variety of services for each ad based on the popularity and what visitors have viewed on our site. 

The information collected and used for remarketing includes details such as the URL and referral URL for the website that triggers a tag hit and any resulting remarketing list memberships. Remarketing data is used to match users with Google accounts, add users to remarketing lists, generate similar audiences, serve dynamic ads, and ensure that Google Ads remarketing campaigns comply with Google's policies. In addition, reports including user information are available in our Google Ads account. Google may also use remarketing data to optimize the performance of our campaign, identify other audiences relevant to us, and gain specific insight into the composition of our remarketing lists. Google also uses aggregated and anonymous remarketing data for the benefit of all advertisers, including, for example, to im-prove similar audiences.

Google will not share this information with third parties or other advertisers, and Google will not use our remarketing lists to promote its own products.

You can opt-out of Google's use of device identifiers by visiting Google's ad settings (click here). Alternatively, you can disable cookies in your browser or device settings.

Additional information on data protection in connection with Google Dynamic Remarketing can be found here and here.

We also use the Google Marketing Platform (formerly "Google DoubleClick" and "Google Analytics 360 Suite"), a unified advertising and analysis platform. For advertising and analysis purposes, cookies are used to display ads that are relevant to you, to improve reports on campaign performance or to prevent a user from being shown ads more than once. 

Google uses a cookie ID to record which ads are played in which browser and can prevent them from being shown more than once. In addition, Google can use cookie IDs to record so-called conversions, i.e. whether a user has seen an advertisement and later visits the advertiser's website to make a purchase. If you are registered with one of Google's services, Google can assign the website visit to your user account.

In addition, the Google Marketing Platform enables us to understand whether you perform certain actions on our website after you have viewed or clicked on one of our ads on Google (conversion tracking) or another platform ("floodlight"). In this way, we are able to display personalized advertising to you in the future. 

If you do not want your end device to be recognized on your next visit, you can refuse the use of cookies by not giving us your consent or by changing the settings in your browser to "block cookies". You will find the respective procedure in the operating instructions of your browser. 

Information on how to deactivate personalized advertising by Google can be found here or when you visit the deactivation page of the Network Advertising Initiative. However, if you choose to decline the use of cookies, you may be limited in your use of some areas of our website.

More information about the Google Marketing Platform, can be found here and information about the use of cookies within the Google Marketing Platform, can be found here. For more information please visit the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI).

We are operating retargeting via Facebook pixel.

For retargeting we use Facebook pixel of Facebook Inc. (1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA) or if you are located in the EU, Facebook Ireland Ltd. (4 Grand Ca-nal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland) ("Facebook"). For the United States, the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision (EU/US Privacy Shield) according to which Facebook is certified.

The purpose of Facebook Pixel is to present interest-based ads to visitors of the website within the social network Facebook or when visiting websites that partici-pate in the Facebook advertising network, based on information about their use of this website ("Facebook Ads").

Facebook Pixel is a program code implemented on this website. When you access the website, the program code can trigger the storage of certain details on your end device in the form of cookies, as well the transmission of certain information to Facebook. This includes information that is generated when you access the web-site via hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) for technical reasons, for example your IP address. This may also include other information that is already stored in cookies on your device, such as your Facebook user-ID. Therefore, when you visit the web-site, Facebook recognizes that you have visited this website previously, as well as the type of website content you have accessed. If you have a user account with Fa-cebook, Facebook may associate this information with your user account. 

If you do not want Facebook to associate the collected information with your Facebook user account, you can disable the remarketing feature here. To do so, you must be logged in to Facebook. You can also disable cookies in your browser or device settings. You can also make appropriate settings in our Cookie-Policy (see section 4).

You can find additional information on how to protect your privacy on Facebook here in the Facebook privacy policy. More specifically, what content and information you have shared through your use of Facebook can be managed through the "Activity Log" tool or can be downloaded from Facebook via the "Download Your Information" tool.

Our website uses the Indeed Conversion Tracker Snippet by Indeed Ireland Opera-tions Limited 124 St. Stephen's Green, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Indeed"). In order to ana-lyze how applicants use this site, certain usage data provided by your browser is collected and analyzed by Indeed. Indeed uses cookies to collect this usage data. In addition, the IP address assigned to your device at that time and a browser-specific identifier are transmitted. The IP address is used solely for session identification and geolocation (as far as city level).

The Conversion Tracker Snippet counts how many visitors actually applied for a job via an Indeed website. We have no knowledge of whether a specific application was submitted to Indeed as a result of a job advertisement.
