1. Data controller

The data controller is Alexandre Silva. To exercise your rights or ask questions about privacy, please use the contact details available on the website.

2. Personal data we may collect

We may collect data provided directly by the user, such as name, email address, phone number, company, role, message content, project information, preferences, billing details and files or references submitted for review.

We may also collect technical data associated with browsing, such as IP address, device type, browser, pages visited, access date and time, visit source and cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie Policy.

3. Purposes of processing

Personal data may be processed to respond to contact requests, prepare proposals, provide contracted services, manage projects, issue billing documents, comply with legal obligations, provide support, improve the website, protect website security and, where consent exists, send informational or promotional communications.

4. Legal bases

Processing may be based on the performance of a contract or pre-contractual steps, compliance with legal obligations, legitimate interest in managing communications, protecting the website and improving services, or consent where required, for example for certain marketing communications or non-essential cookies.

5. Client data and project materials

As part of web design, WordPress, branding, graphic design, AI, 3D, motion graphics, video, automation or consulting services, the client may share content, technical access details, images, text, databases, visual references or working materials. These data are used only to execute the project, provide support or fulfil agreed obligations.

The client should avoid sending sensitive personal data or confidential information that is not necessary for the project. When such information is essential, the client should inform us in advance so that appropriate measures can be adopted.

6. Tools, platforms and processors

To provide services and maintain the website, tools for hosting, email, analytics, project management, invoicing, WordPress, plugins, creative platforms, artificial intelligence, cloud services and other technical suppliers may be used. These third parties should only process data to the extent necessary to provide their services.

Some tools may process data outside the European Economic Area. Where applicable, appropriate safeguards provided for under the GDPR will be used.

7. Artificial intelligence

When a project involves artificial intelligence tools, materials provided by the client may be used to generate, edit, analyse or improve content in the context of the contracted work. Where personal data or sensitive information is involved, the use of those tools should be assessed carefully and limited to what is necessary.

8. Data retention

Data are retained only for the period necessary for the purposes described in this policy, for contract performance, compliance with legal obligations, defence of rights or maintenance of a reasonable professional history. Billing data may be retained for the applicable legal period.

9. Data sharing

Personal data are not sold. They may be shared with technical, accounting, legal or operational suppliers when necessary, with authorities when legally required, or with third parties indicated by the client for the execution of the project.

10. Security

Reasonable measures are adopted to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, alteration or improper disclosure. Even so, no method of digital transmission or storage is completely infallible.

11. Data subject rights

Under the GDPR, data subjects may exercise, where applicable, the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, portability, objection and withdrawal of consent. They may also lodge a complaint with the Portuguese Data Protection Authority, Comissão Nacional de Proteção de Dados (CNPD).

12. Cookies

The website uses cookies and similar technologies for operation, security, analytics and improvement of the browsing experience. More information is available in the Cookie Policy.

13. External links

The website may contain links to third-party websites or platforms. This policy does not apply to those external services, so you should consult their own privacy policies.
