7. Health data and special categories of data
Information relating to your fitness to undertake physical activity constitutes a special category of data (health data), benefiting from enhanced protection under Article 9 of the GDPR.
This processing is limited to what is strictly necessary to ensure that you can safely undertake physical activity and is based on your explicit consent, given at the time of registration. In the event of a medical emergency on the premises, we may also process health data to protect your vital interests or those of third parties (Article 9(2)(c) of the GDPR).
Access to this data is restricted to those who strictly need it, and it is not used for any other purposes, in particular marketing. You may withdraw your consent at any time, although doing so may affect the safe provision of the services.
8. Minors
The minimum age to enter into a contract and attend Studio Legacy is 16 years. Data subjects under 18 years of age may only register when duly accompanied and authorised by their legal representative, who signs the contract and the corresponding authorisation.
Under Article 16 of Law no. 58/2019, the processing of children’s personal data on the basis of consent, in the context of information society services, is only lawful from the age of 13; below that age, consent must be given by the child’s legal representatives.
We do not knowingly collect data from minors outside this framework. If you become aware that a minor has provided us with data without the proper authorisation, please contact us so that we can delete it.

a) Service providers (processors) acting on our behalf and under data processing agreements (Article 28 of the GDPR), namely:

Some of our service providers (in particular the providers of the website, payment and analytics platforms) are based in, or process data outside, the European Economic Area (EEA), namely in the United States of America.
Whenever this occurs, we ensure that the transfer is carried out with appropriate safeguards, in accordance with Articles 44 to 49 of the GDPR, namely:

through the conclusion of Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, supplemented, where necessary, by additional security measures.
You may request further information about these safeguards, or a copy of the applicable mechanisms, using our contact details.
12. Data retention periods
We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and in compliance with applicable legal obligations, namely:
Contractual and customer account data: for the duration of the contractual relationship and, after its termination, for the limitation period applicable to the establishment or defence of legal claims (generally up to 20 years for the ordinary limitation period, with data usually retained only for the strictly necessary period).
Billing and accounting data: 10 years, as required by Portuguese tax and commercial law.
Direct debit payment data (SEPA mandate): for the duration of the mandate and for the period legally required after its cancellation.

Browsing data and cookies: for the validity period of each cookie or until consent is withdrawn.
Communications and support requests: for the period necessary to handle them and, where relevant, for evidentiary purposes.
Once the applicable periods have elapsed, the data is securely deleted or anonymised.
13. Information security
Studio Legacy implements appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, destruction, alteration or improper disclosure, taking into account the state of the art and the nature of the data, namely access control, the use of passwords, the encryption of sensitive communications and the engagement of providers that offer security guarantees.
Despite the efforts undertaken, no system is entirely secure. In the event of a personal data breach likely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms, we undertake to notify the Portuguese Data Protection Authority (CNPD) within 72 hours and, where applicable, to inform the affected data subjects, in accordance with Articles 33 and 34 of the GDPR.

15. Automated decision-making and profiling
Studio Legacy does not make decisions based solely on automated processing of data, including profiling, that produce legal effects on you or significantly affect you in a similar way.
Should segmentation tools be used for marketing purposes, these will not be based on sensitive data, and the data subject may object to the processing at any time.
16. Marketing and commercial communications
We may send you commercial communications about Studio Legacy services, classes, campaigns and news through the contact details you have provided to us, as follows:
To customers: on the basis of our legitimate interest in promoting our own services similar to those you have already purchased (soft opt-in), with the right to object at any time.
To subscribers and prospective customers: only on the basis of your prior, express consent.
Sharing your data with commercial partners so that they can send you their own marketing communications always depends on your specific and separate consent, which you may freely refuse or withdraw, without any prejudice to the provision of the services.
All electronic marketing communications will include a simple mechanism to unsubscribe (opt-out). You may also request to unsubscribe at any time by e-mailing hello@studiolegacy.pt, indicating “Marketing Opt-out” in the subject line.
17. Video surveillance (include only if applicable)
Note: This section should only be kept if there are video surveillance systems (CCTV) on the premises. If there are none, it should be deleted.
Where the Studio Legacy premises are equipped with video surveillance systems, these are intended exclusively for the protection of persons and property and the security of the premises, on the basis of the controller’s legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR) and in accordance with Article 19 of Law no. 58/2019. The cameras do not cover areas of reserved privacy (such as changing rooms and toilets), no sound is captured, and the footage is retained for the legally permitted period (generally 30 days), with restricted access. The existence of video surveillance is indicated by visible signs on the premises.
18. Links to third-party websites
The Website may contain links to third-party websites or platforms (for example, social media such as Instagram, TikTok and Spotify). Studio Legacy is not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites, which are governed by their own policies. We recommend that you read them whenever you access those services.
19. Changes to this Privacy Policy
Studio Legacy reserves the right to update this Policy whenever necessary, in particular due to legal or technological changes or changes in the way we process data. The version in force will always be available on the Website, indicating its date of update.
Where the changes are substantial and involve significant modifications to the processing of your data — in particular where they depend on consent — we undertake to inform you in advance and, where required, to request fresh consent.
