Significa Client Data: Significa securely stores all Client-related data, including contracts, signatures, and contact information, within its internal knowledge management system (e.g., Notion). Access to this data is strictly limited to personnel who require it for specific, authorised purposes. Significa does not use Client data for any purposes beyond those necessary to fulfil contractual obligations, such as invoicing and the delivery of agreed-upon services.
In the course of delivering services, Significa may utilise various tools for communication, messaging, and data storage. These tools may rely on third-party service providers; however, Client data is only used as required to support the agreed services. Significa remains committed to maintaining the confidentiality and security of Client data at all times.
In order to deliver its services, Significa relies on a number of third-party service providers (“Sub-Processors”). These tools are used to facilitate communication, messaging, and data storage. While Significa uses these Sub-Processors to support its operations, Client data is handled strictly in accordance with its intended purpose—limited to fulfilling contractual obligations and providing agreed-upon services. Significa ensures that all Sub-Processors adhere to industry-standard practices for data security and privacy. A list of the Sub-Processors used by Significa is provided below:

End Customer Data: End Customer data is processed and managed exclusively through the applications ("Products") developed by Significa for its Clients. In instances where these Products handle End Customer data, the responsibility for the management, control, and ownership of such data resides solely with the Client. Significa does not possess or claim ownership over End Customer data; its role is limited to developing and maintaining the tools necessary to support the storage and handling of this data on behalf of the Client.
At all times, the Client retains full authority and discretion over End Customer data, including the ability to revoke Significa’s access, as this data is hosted entirely on platforms, servers, or services owned or controlled by the Client (e.g., the Client's cloud provider). While Significa offers guidance and adheres to best practices to assist the Client in ensuring the security of End Customer data, ultimately Significa does not own these hosting environments.
We take precautions to protect the security of your information. We have physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to help safeguard, prevent unauthorised access, maintain data security, and correctly use your information. However, neither people nor security systems are foolproof, including encryption systems. In addition, people can commit intentional crimes, make mistakes or fail to follow policies. Therefore, while we use reasonable efforts to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
We won’t share any of your information unless we must comply with a legal obligation.
Significa will respect your legal rights to your data. Below are the rights that you have under the law, and what Significa does to protect those rights:
The right to be informed: Significa is publishing this Legal Statement to keep you informed as to what we do with your information. We strive to be transparent about how we use your data.

The right to erasure: This is sometimes called ‘the right to be forgotten’. If you want Significa to erase all your data and we do not have a legal reason to continue to process and hold it, please contact Significa at: office@significa.co.
The right to object: You have the right to object to Significa processing your data even if it is based on our legitimate interests, the exercise of official authority, direct marketing (including data aggregation), and processing for the purposeless of statistics. If you wish to object please contact Significa at: office@significa.co.
The right to complain to a Supervisory Authority: You have the right to complain to the CNPD if you feel that Significa has not responded to your requests to solve a problem. You can find their contact details here: https://www.cnpd.pt.
