Marimoldes is committed to safeguarding the privacy of all those who interact with it. As such, its Privacy and Personal Data Processing Policy is intended to specify which data may be collected under a professional and/or business relationship, and how this data is processed and protected.

What is personal data?

“Personal data” means any information, regardless of its nature or format, including sound and image, related to an identified or identifiable individual (data owner). A person who can be identified directly or indirectly, namely by reference to an identification number or other specific aspects of his or her physical, physiological, psychological, economic, cultural or social identity, is considered “identifiable”.

What data may be collected?

As an employer, the company will collect all personal data solely and exclusively needed to fulfil its obligations under the contractual relationship.

As a customer and/or supplier, the company will collect data needed to validate the compliance of other companies’ activities, along with contact information and other identification data needed for the business relationship between the parties.

This data will be collected at the start of the contractual relationship, or at the time of unsolicited application for purposes of recruitment, with the assurance that this data will only be used for the purposes described at the time of its collection.

This data is processed manually or by computer, in compliance with applicable legislation and the conditions laid out by the Portuguese Data Protection Authority (“CNPD”).

Employee data can be shared with outside companies under the situations referred to in the declaration of consent.

The companies with which Marimoldes interacts as a customer/supplier, pursuant to legislation governing the processing of personal data, are obliged to maintain confidentiality and ensure security with regard to data accessible by them for this purpose, and may not use this data for any other purpose or to their own benefit, nor link it to other data in their possession.

Personal data may also be transmitted to the courts and other competent authorities, in strict compliance with the law, namely when needed for settling disputes or investigating criminal offences.

What is the retention period for personal data?

TESTS / PRODUCTION

All of the moulds we produce are tested – to perfection – using machinery equivalent to that of the customer. For this purpose, if we do not have machinery at our facilities to meet all of these needs, we have partnerships with companies specializing in plastic injection with regional testing centres to provide this machinery, peripherals and technicians highly qualified for this purpose. As such, we have access to injection machinery up to 1,600 t clamping force and a 10 kg injection capacity to test our moulds.

REPAIRS

Since a mould’s useful life can be extended for a long time with proper maintenance, we offer resources to carry out scheduled maintenance or make modifications to our customers’ moulds, whether produced by Marimoldes or by any other manufacturer.
