Who we are

Cabobel Resort Group SA, with its registered office at 1312 – 2110 Mindelo – São Vicente – CABO VERDE, also referred to as ‘we’ or ‘us’ in this privacy policy, is responsible for processing your personal data.
The terms ‘processing’ and ‘personal data’ are both interpreted broadly.

Terminology

‘Personal data’ is understood to mean all the information we can link to an individual person, either directly or indirectly. This often means obvious data such as a name, e-mail address and phone number, but also data such as your IP address.
The term ‘processing’ covers a wide range of actions that can be carried out with or without the help of automated digital processes. Therefore, processing is understood to include the collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adjustment, alteration, requesting, consulting, usage, distribution or making available (in any way whatsoever), collation, combination, archiving, removal or definitive erasure of data.

Scope

This privacy policy applies to the personal data we collect from you through all our websites, the activities associated with this or (commercial) relationships resulting from this data or maintained using it.


Personal data

When do we ‘collect’ personal data?

We collect and process your data when you contact us, for example when you make contact through the website to ask any questions you may have or express an interest in our products or services, when you subscribe to our newsletter or register for one of the events we organise, participate in a competition, apply for a job, etc.

Why do we store your data?

  1. To keep you informed
    Informing you of interesting news, providing a better service or more relevant product offers is part of the package of services we want to offer you. To make this happen, we need insight into your preferences and interests.
  2. Marketing purposes
    By tracking the website you were on before you visited ours, what you read during your visit to the website and what information you request, we can gain better insight into what really interests you. This enables us to reach you later with relevant products and services through various advertising channels.
  3. Statistical purposes
    We also use your data for statistical purposes so that we can adjust our range and services to better suit your expectations. See also the ‘Cookies’ section further on in this privacy policy.

What data do we store?

We process data that we have obtained from you personally. You may have given us the information on the telephone, in an online form, by e-mail or during a personal conversation at one of our offices. This mainly means data such as:

  • Your name
  • Your e-mail address
  • Your phone number
  • Your address

If we want to use the aforementioned data to send personalised newsletters (digitally or by post), we always ask for your explicit consent.
Furthermore, we also store personal data that is necessary to fulfil a contract you have entered with us, or if we have a legitimate interest in processing this data. This includes data such as:

  • Your national registration number (to enter a contract)
  • Your financial or payment data (this mainly means bank details, and in certain cases it can also mean information about loans, mortgages and credit)
  • Your professional data (position, the sector you work in)
    With a view to the ongoing improvement of our services and communication, we also store analytical data about your browsing behaviour. This is always anonymous and only used to improve the functionality and performance of our website. Examples of such analytical data include:
  • the pages you look at,
  • what you click on,
  • when you visit our website,
  • the browser you use to visit our website.

In doing so, we invoke the legitimate interest in constantly evaluating and improving our services.
If you apply for a job with us, we also process the data on your work experience and level of education.
In certain cases, your data may also be enriched with information that is publicly and openly available or with data we receive from third parties with whom we have signed a cooperation agreement. Of course, you can always object to this by sending an e-mail to sales@cabo-bel.com.

How long do we store your data?

We will continue to contact you until you withdraw your permission for us to do so, and we will not store your data for longer than necessary for the purpose for which the data has been processed.

With whom is the data shared and why?

We can pass on your data to third parties (including government bodies) if we are legally obliged to do so, if you consent to our doing so, when it is necessary to achieve one of our aforementioned goals, or if we are obliged to do so based on court decisions.

How is your data protected?

Data protection is particularly important to us, and we are committed to taking the necessary physical measures and suitable technical and organisational (precautionary) measures to protect your personal data against loss or any form of inappropriate processing.
If we work with third parties or deploy third parties to process data, we will always sign a contract with the party so that also they commit to act in accordance with the conditions of the GDPR, or General Data Protection Regulation.

Who has access to your data?

We limit access to your data to the employees who are strictly necessary for the processing of personal data.
Furthermore, our staff sign a staff policy obliging them to take all due care of your data (not to process it incorrectly, not to sell it, not to remove it unless requested to do so, and to avoid all other forms of inappropriate processing of your personal data).
