• Do not process sensitive data (philosophical or political convictions, party or union membership, religious faith, private life, racial or ethnic origin, or health and sex life including genetic data) unless a legal provision permits it or the Agência de Protecção de Dados authorises it on one of its listed grounds, such as the data subject's unequivocal, express and written consent.
• Notify the Agência de Protecção de Dados of sensitive-data processing carried out under a legal provision, and carry it out with guarantees of non-discrimination and special security measures.
• Process health and sex-life data, including genetic data, only with the data subject's or their legal representative's unequivocal, express and written consent or the APD's authorisation, unless it is for preventive medicine, medical diagnosis, consented medical care, health-service management, a medical emergency, or the public interest, and only through a health professional bound by professional secrecy.
• Process personal data on suspected illicit activities, criminal offences, contraventions, penalties or security measures only as a public authority acting under a legal provision cleared with the APD's prior opinion or under the APD's own authorisation, and limit processing for police investigation to what a specific prevention or prosecution purpose requires.
• Post clear notice at any location with a video surveillance or electronic monitoring system that identifies people, stating that image or sound is captured and giving the controller's name, address, phone number and email.
