2. Personal data, processing purposes and legal basis
The personal data collected through the form(s) on the websites (such as name and email address) is used to send email newsletters about the EDP Foundation's activities, according to your choices and subject to consent. These include the Museum's cultural programme (“MAAT Notícias” & “MAAT Escolas” newsletters, regular promotion of exhibitions, conferences, workshops and other Museum activities), Electra magazine (published by the EDP Foundation), and other EDP Foundation activities, namely those related to social intervention/innovation projects. You may withdraw your consent to the processing of personal data for these purposes at any time, with no retroactive effects.
The personal data collected in connection with the purchase of Museum tickets or the Maat Membership card, which in the latter case includes sending the card by post, is processed with a view to completing those purchases. Such processing is therefore necessary to fulfil the contract between the data subject and the EDP Foundation.
The EDP Foundation may also process personal data with a view to conducting marketing campaigns within the scope of the EDP Foundation's activities, subject to consent. You may withdraw your consent to the processing of personal data for these purposes at any time, with no retroactive effects.
The EDP Foundation may also process personal data in connection with educational activities and workshops conducted through the Museum, some of which are aimed at the public and Museum visitors and others at minors. Such processing is necessary to fulfil the contract between the data subject/minor's guardian (where applicable) and the EDP Foundation; if the educational activities involve taking photographs or recording videos, the personal data will be processed subject to consent. You may withdraw your consent to the processing of personal data for these purposes at any time, with no retroactive effects.
3. Recipients
Users’ personal data may be communicated to an appropriate service provider contracted by the EDP Foundation, which will process the data exclusively for the purposes established by the EDP Foundation and in compliance with its instructions, observing the laws on personal data protection, information security and other applicable regulations.
4. International data transfers
The data collected when you browse the websites, namely through cookies and other similar technologies, may be transferred outside the European Economic Area (EEA) if you give your consent to the placement of certain categories of cookies (e.g., analytics or advertising cookies). These cookies are placed by third parties that may transfer your data to countries outside the EEA (e.g. the United States of America), such as the website analysis and optimisation service “Google Analytics”, provided by Google Ireland Limited. By way of example, sharing data with service providers outside the EEA (such as Google LLC) could imply disproportionate access to your data by the government authorities and intelligence services of the country importing the data. For more information on the use of these cookies, please consult the websites' Cookie Policies.
If the Data Subject wishes to obtain further information regarding the processing of personal data performed outside the EEA, including regarding the safeguards adopted in the transfer of data, they may contact the EDP Foundation via the contacts provided in this Policy.
The websites use cookies and other tracking technologies, as described in the Cookie Policy(ies).

The EDP Foundation will only retain subjects’ personal data for as long as it takes to achieve the aims for which they were collected, i.e. while the cultural and social activities of the EDP Foundation/MAAT - Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology remain the same as when consent was given.
Personal data collected by the EDP Foundation in order to send the newsletter will be kept for as long as the newsletter continues to be sent, or until the data subject cancels the newsletter subscription.
