This document supplements the site’s general Privacy Policy (navigation, cookies, and modules accessible without an account such as AdapVeille or the public list of outings), and specifically concerns the data processed as part of your status as a private-area member.

Who processes your data

François Wilman, an individual based in Portugal, publisher of the adap.pt website. As ADAP is not a legally registered association in the strict sense, this identification matches what appears in the Legal Notice. Applicable law: Portuguese law and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

What data we collect

• First name, last name, email address (required at registration)
• The pseudonym you choose when you first log in, which is both your display name on the site and your login username
• Phone number and WhatsApp contact preference (if provided)
• Your interests declared at registration
• The content you publish or exchange on the platform (internal messages, comments, contributions)
• Technical data linked to your account (registration date, logins, and the IP address used for your registration request)

Why we collect it

• To let you access the private area and its member-only features (internal social network, AdapGuide, outings)
• To verify that there is a real person behind every account. Your first and last name are known only to ADAP and are not displayed on the site: other members only see your pseudonym (see the Terms of Use and The Little ADAP Pact)
• To ensure the security and moderation of the platform
• To contact you, if you’ve authorized it, by phone or WhatsApp

What we never do

• We never share your email address with another member. All exchanges between members go through the platform’s internal messaging.
• We never sell or share your data with third parties for commercial purposes.
• We don’t keep unfinished registration requests indefinitely: an incomplete request (unconfirmed email, request still awaiting validation, or documents not signed) is automatically deleted after 7 days. To prevent abuse, we keep a minimal record of it, which also applies to a rejected request: the email address, the stage reached, the IP address and the date. This record is automatically erased after 90 days.

Your commitment as a member

By joining ADAP, you also agree not to reuse, collect, or pass on to third parties the personal data of other members that you might have access to through your use of the platform (pseudonym, contact details voluntarily shared by another member, content of your exchanges), outside the normal scope of using the internal messaging.

Retention period

Your data is kept for as long as you remain an active member of the platform. If your account is deleted, your data is erased within 30 days, except for what the law requires us to keep.

Every new registration request, every completed registration and every automatic deletion of an incomplete request triggers an internal email sent to a mailbox reserved for managing registrations. These emails include the information from the request and are automatically deleted no later than 90 days after they are received.

Your rights

In accordance with the GDPR, you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, and object to the processing of your data. You can exercise these rights by contacting us at dpo@adap.pt. As the data controller is based in Portugal, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with the CNPD (Comissão Nacional de Proteção de Dados, www.cnpd.pt), the competent data protection supervisory authority.

By checking this box, you confirm that you have read and understood the terms above, and you accept them.
