2.1 Data you provide directly

3) Purposes of processing and legal bases (GDPR)
| Purpose | Examples | Legal basis (GDPR) |
|---|---|---|
| Respond to inquiries | Reply to messages, proposals, and general questions | Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)) and/or steps prior to contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) |
| Provide services and execute contracts | Project communication, delivery of services, invoicing | Contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) and legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)) |
| Website security and abuse prevention | Server logs, rate limiting, detection of suspicious activity | Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)) |
| Analytics and performance measurement | Understand how visitors use the website to improve content and usability | Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)) for analytics cookies; or legitimate interests where cookie-less analytics are used in a compliant way |
| Marketing (if enabled) | Measurement of campaigns via pixels or similar technologies | Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)) |
Note: In the EU/EEA, non-essential cookies (analytics, marketing) generally require prior consent under GDPR and ePrivacy rules.
4) Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to ensure the website functions correctly, to maintain security, and (if enabled and consented) to measure performance and marketing. Details about specific cookies and how to manage them are provided in the Cookie Policy.
5) Who we share data with
We do not sell your personal data. We may share data with trusted service providers that help us operate this website and deliver services, such as:
- Hosting and infrastructure providers
- Email and communication providers
- Analytics and measurement tools (e.g., Google Analytics, if enabled)
- Cookie consent / CMP tools
- Security and performance services (e.g., CDN, firewall)
These providers act as processors and only process data according to our instructions and applicable data protection laws. We may also share data when required by law or to protect our rights, safety, or the rights of others.
6) International data transfers
Some of the above providers may process data outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Where this occurs, we seek to rely on appropriate safeguards such as adequacy decisions or Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), combined with additional measures where required by law.
7) Data retention
We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including legal, accounting, or reporting obligations. As a guideline:
- Contact requests: typically up to 12 months after the last interaction.
- Client and project data: for the duration of the contractual relationship and usually for up to 5 years thereafter.
- Invoices and accounting records: as required by applicable tax and accounting laws (often up to 10 years).
- Security and access logs: usually up to 12 months, unless needed longer for security/legal reasons.
8) Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data, including access controls, encryption in transit (HTTPS), backups, and the principle of least privilege. No system is completely secure, but we work to reduce risks and respond to potential incidents.
9) Your rights under GDPR
As an individual in the EU/EEA, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:
- Right of access
- Right to rectification
- Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten")
- Right to restriction of processing

10) Complaints
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority. In Portugal, this is the Comissão Nacional de Proteção de Dados (CNPD). You can contact your local authority or the authority where you live, work, or where the alleged infringement took place.
