In respect of personal data processed through your usage of this guide, Teamstomediarostr Unipessoal Lda. functions as the Data Controller as defined under the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation EU 2016/679, "GDPR") and applicable Portuguese national data protection statutes (Lei n.º 58/2019).

2. Categories of Data Collected

We restrict data collection to what is strictly necessary to operate an educational guide and facilitate direct inquiries:

• Directly Supplied Data: When you complete our contact inquiry form, we collect your name, valid email address, phone number (if provided), and the textual content of your inquiry.
• Technical and Device Data: Our web servers automatically log standard network metadata including your IP address (anonymized at extraction), browser application type and version, language preference, operating system, referring URL, and server request timestamps.
• Preference Storage: Your local device stores your selected cookie consent preferences inside browser local storage so that your decision remains persistent across browsing sessions.

3. Legal Grounds for Processing (GDPR Art. 6)

We process collected data exclusively under the following lawful bases:

• Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)): For optional communication requests and any voluntary non-essential analytics cookies that you specifically authorize via our cookie management interface.
• Contractual & Pre-Contractual Steps (Art. 6(1)(b)): To respond to walking route bookings, tailored guide inquiries, and commercial partnerships requested by you.
• Legitimate Interests (Art. 6(1)(f)): To maintain network resilience, prevent abusive automated submissions, debug visual formatting across devices, and ensure baseline information security.

4. Data Retention Periods

Personal information submitted via the contact form is retained for no longer than eighteen (18) months from the date of final communication, unless ongoing contractual obligations or legal dispute preservation mandates extended storage. Server connection logs are purged automatically on a rolling thirty-day (30-day) cycle. Cookie consent choices stored locally on your device persist until you clear browser caches or for a maximum of 365 days.

5. Third-Party Processors & Cross-Border Transfers

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to data brokers or advertising exchanges. Any external technical infrastructure providers—such as web hosting nodes, domain registrar systems, and secure email routing networks—operate under strict Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) incorporating European Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) to guarantee an equivalent level of privacy protection if data transits outside the European Economic Area.

6. Your Rights Under GDPR & CCPA

Under Chapter III of the GDPR and equivalent provisions of the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), you enjoy comprehensive rights regarding your personal records:

• Right of Access: You may request formal confirmation of whether we hold data concerning you and obtain a copy.
• Right to Rectification: You may correct inaccurate or incomplete contact records.
• Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten"): You may demand deletion of your records where retention is no longer justified.
• Right to Restriction & Objection: You may restrict processing or object to processing carried out under legitimate interest grounds.
• Right to Data Portability: You may receive your provided data in a structured, machine-readable format.

To exercise any statutory privacy right, direct your inquiry to our Data Protection Officer at: [email protected]. We respond within thirty (30) days without charging administrative fees.
