Our Privacy Policy

CEsA (Centre for African and Development Studies), a non-profit organisation that is part of ISEG (Lisbon School of Economics and Management) at the Universidade de Lisboa and registered under corporate tax no. 503729604, undertakes economic, political, social and cultural research in the area of development studies, with an emphasis on countries in Africa, Asia-Pacific and Latin America. CEsA believes in the major importance of safeguarding the security, confidentiality and integrity of the personal data of its members (researchers and professors), subscribers and users, assuring that these will be used expressly for scientific research and distribution, not using these data for any other purpose or transferring them to third parties. The same is the case with the events it advertises when these are subject to information collection for subscription management purposes and CEsA guarantees that these data are not transferred to or used by third parties. CEsA processes only the minimum of data required for the intended purposes.

 

Picture and sound recording

CEsA reserves the right to make and keep picture, sound and voice records during its activities and events for the purpose of scientific dissemination, knowledge sharing and maintaining its activity, unless expressly indicated otherwise.

Guests at events are informed beforehand if the event is subject to this procedure and they may give their consent (or not) for the lectures to be made publicly available (on digital platforms).

The pictures and sounds used are exclusively recorded and processed by CEsA and are intended exclusively for scientific publication.

 

Data processing

Our Privacy Policy defines the terms and conditions of use and tells you about the measures adopted with regard to the use, processing and storage of your personal data, safeguarding your right to privacy and with the sole aim of facilitating the relationship between CEsA and its users.

When data subjects provide their data to CEsA, they acknowledge and consent to these being processed according to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

The data are stored only for the time necessary for the intended purpose and are strictly managed by the institution.
