Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 2026
1. Data controller
The controller responsible for processing your personal data is:
We have not appointed a data protection officer. For any question about your data, write to the address above.
2. Data we process
We process the following data, depending on how you deal with us:
- →Contact form: name, email address, company (optional), service of interest (optional) and message. The form is not saved in the site's database: it reaches us by email, and we send you an automatic confirmation.
- →Call bookings: your name, email and whatever you enter in the Cal.com booking form.
- →Client Portal (clients only): the contact person's email and name, company and tax details, contracts, projects and milestones, invoices, subscription status and the documents we share with you in the portal.
- →Accepting a contract in the portal: we keep the date, your email, the name you type, your IP address and the browser you use, as evidence of acceptance.
- →Payments: handled by Stripe. Your card details go straight to Stripe and never pass through our servers; we receive the payment status, the amount and the transaction identifiers.
- →Usage statistics: page visited, source of the visit, device type and country, through Plausible Analytics. Plausible reads your IP address and browser identifier to compute a daily code that cannot recognise you the next day, and does not store the IP. It uses no cookies.
- →Technical data: your IP address reaches the server on every visit, as on any website, and may appear in its technical logs. In addition, when you send the contact form or request portal access we use your IP to limit the number of submissions; that record deletes itself within hours.
- →Studies and surveys: if you take part in a NeoCompás study, the processing is explained in its own notice: privacy notice for the “Entre Sistemas” study.
We do not ask for special category data (health, racial origin, biometric data, etc.). We make no automated decisions and do no profiling.
3. Purpose and legal basis
We process your data for the following purposes and legal bases (GDPR Art. 6):
| Purpose | Legal basis |
|---|---|
| Responding to your inquiry or information request | Art. 6.1.b: pre-contractual steps at your request |
| Managing a call booking | Art. 6.1.b: pre-contractual steps at your request |
| Providing the contracted service and access to the Client Portal | Art. 6.1.b: performance of a contract |
| Invoicing and accounting and tax obligations | Art. 6.1.c: compliance with a legal obligation |
| Keeping evidence that a contract was accepted (date, IP, browser) | Art. 6.1.f: legitimate interest in being able to prove the agreement |
| Measuring use of the website | Art. 6.1.f: legitimate interest in understanding site use through aggregate, cookieless statistics |
| Security and prevention of abuse and spam | Art. 6.1.f: legitimate interest in protecting the service |
| Studies and surveys | Art. 6.1.a: consent (see each study’s notice) |
| Commercial contact | Art. 6.1.a: only if you have expressly authorised it |
Giving us your data is voluntary. Without a contact email we cannot reply to you, and without contract and billing details we cannot provide the service.
4. Retention periods
- →Contact form messages: 3 years from the last contact, or until you ask for deletion.
- →Bookings (Cal.com): per Cal.com's retention policy, at cal.com/privacy.
- →Client, contract and invoice data: for the duration of the contractual relationship and, afterwards, for the periods required by commercial and tax law.
- →Evidence of contract acceptance: while the contract is in force and for the period in which claims about it may be brought.
- →Usage statistics: Plausible data is aggregated and identifies no one; it is kept as site statistics.
- →IP used to limit submissions: deleted automatically within hours.
5. Recipients and data processors
To provide the service we use the following providers, which process data on our behalf under their data processing terms:
| Provider | Function | Data |
|---|---|---|

| Supabase (supabase.com) | Database, portal sign-in and document storage, in Frankfurt (Germany) | Client Portal data and study responses |
| Resend (resend.com) | Sending the site’s emails | Contact form messages, portal access links, invoice notices |

Stripe also processes part of the payment data as a controller in its own right, under its terms. We do not sell, rent or share personal data with third parties for their own commercial purposes. We would disclose it to authorities only where a law obliges us to.
6. International transfers
