COLLECTION OF PERSONAL DATA
The Personal Data we collect depends on the context of your interactions with MB and MB with you, within the scope of its municipal activity and in fulfillment of its legally assigned duties. The Municipality of Braga uses your Personal Data to respond to your requests, to process your cases, for statistical purposes and to carry out studies to support the definition of municipal public policies.
This data can be provided through a request, communication, complaint, participation and through the service channels provided by the municipality: in person, by telephone or electronically. We also collect the information you provide and the content of the messages you send us, such as comments, suggestions, criticisms or complaints, with a view to constant improvement.
As part of the processing of your personal data, MB safeguards that it will only be accessible to those people in the municipal universe who have a need to know it, in the exercise of their functions and to the strict extent necessary for the pursuit of the purposes for which the personal data was collected, or for purposes compatible with the initial purpose(s).
Some personal data is necessary and, in the event of the absence, insufficiency or inaccuracy of this data, MB may be unable to provide the service in question, and will therefore inform the data subjects of the essential nature of the provision of the data.
Collection and processing of minors’ Personal Data

These may concern, in particular, the racial or ethnic origin of the data subject, their political opinions, religious beliefs, sexual orientation or their health (Personal Data relating to the physical or mental health of a natural person, including the provision of health services and/or revealing information about their state of health).
The processing of special categories of data deserves greater protection under the GDPR and is subject to specific technical and organizational safeguards. In this sense, the collection of documentation incorporating special categories of data should only be carried out when such data is essential for the analysis of requests made to MB.
