GDPR

The General Data Protection Regulation gives you a set of rights over the personal data you entrust to us. This page explains what they are and how to exercise them.

Last updated in August 2026

Right of access

You can find out what data we hold about you, where it came from, what we use it for and who it has been disclosed to, and ask for a copy of that information.

Right to rectification

If any data is wrong or incomplete, you can ask for it to be corrected at any time.

Right to erasure

You can ask us to delete your data when it is no longer needed for the purpose that justified it and there is no legal obligation to keep it.

Right to restriction

You can ask us to pause the use of your data while we check whether the information is accurate or while we review an objection you have raised.

Right to portability

You can receive the data you provided in a commonly readable format, or ask us to transmit it to another organisation where that is technically possible.

Right to object

You can object to processing based on legitimate interest. We then stop processing the data, unless there are compelling grounds that override your objection or the data is needed for legal proceedings.

How to exercise your rights

Write to geral@bwater.pt stating the right you wish to exercise. We may need to confirm your identity before proceeding, so that nobody can access your data on your behalf.

Response time

We reply within 30 days at most. If the request is complex, we tell you that an extension is needed and why. Exercising these rights is free of charge.

Complaints

If you are not satisfied with our reply, you can lodge a complaint with the Comissão Nacional de Proteção de Dados, the supervisory authority in Portugal.
