The protection of your personal data is a top priority for me. This Privacy Policy explains how I collect, use, and protect your personal data when you visit this website, in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable Portuguese law.
The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:
Christiane Bode
Rua da Constituição 243 4T, 4200-198 Porto, Portugal

Server Log Files
The hosting provider of this website automatically collects and stores certain information in server log files that your browser transmits automatically. These include:
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR — legitimate interest in ensuring the technical stability, functionality, and security of the website.
Retention: This data is stored for 30 days and is then automatically deleted, unless it is needed for evidentiary purposes in the event of an attack on the website’s infrastructure.
Contact via Email or Contact Form
If you contact me — by email or via the contact form — the personal data you provide (e.g., name, email address, message content) will be stored for the purpose of processing your inquiry and in case follow-up questions arise. This data is not shared with third parties without your consent.
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (processing necessary for contractual or pre-contractual measures) or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in efficiently handling inquiries directed to me).
Retention: This data will be deleted once your inquiry has been fully resolved and there is no legal obligation to retain it further, unless you object to its erasure or it is needed to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
This website only uses strictly necessary cookies — small text files stored on your device that are required for the website to function correctly (e.g., to maintain basic technical operation). No analytics, marketing, tracking, or other non-essential cookies are used.
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR — legitimate interest in a functioning website. Because only strictly necessary cookies are used, no consent banner is required under the ePrivacy Directive or GDPR.
You can still configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set, to block them entirely, or to delete existing cookies at any time. Please note that blocking these necessary cookies may affect how the website functions.
If this ever changes — for example, if analytics or marketing cookies are added in the future — this Privacy Policy will be updated accordingly, and a consent mechanism will be implemented where required.
Google Web Fonts
This site may use web fonts provided by Google (“Google Fonts”) for consistent, uniform display of text. When you visit a page that uses these fonts, your browser may load them directly from Google’s servers, in which case your browser establishes a connection to Google and your IP address is transmitted to Google.
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR — legitimate interest in a uniform and professional presentation of the website.
If you prefer not to allow this connection, you can disable JavaScript or web font loading in your browser settings, though this may affect how the site is displayed.
Emojis and Other Static Content
Standard WordPress installations may load supplementary content — such as emoji graphics — from external domains (e.g., s.w.org, gstatic.com) to ensure correct rendering across devices. This involves the transmission of your IP address to these servers.
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR — legitimate interest in providing a fully functional and correctly displayed website.
Where this website relies on services provided by companies based outside the European Economic Area (EEA) — such as Google — your data may be processed in a country that does not offer the same level of data protection as the EU. Where this occurs, such transfers are carried out on the basis of appropriate safeguards recognized under GDPR (e.g., the EU Standard Contractual Clauses), where applicable.
This website is hosted by an external service provider:
Spaceship, Inc. are [4600 E Washington Street, Suite 300, Phoenix, AZ 85034, USA
The hosting provider processes data such as server log files and other information generated through use of this website on my behalf. Where required by law, this processing is governed by a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) concluded with the provider under Art. 28 GDPR.
Under the GDPR, you have the right to:
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. In Portugal, this is the:
Comissão Nacional de Proteção de Dados (CNPD) (www.cnpd.pt)
To exercise any of these rights, please contact me using the details in Section 2.
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content — such as inquiries you send to me — this website uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the “https://” prefix in your browser’s address bar and the padlock icon.
I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the website, legal requirements, or the services used. The current version, as published on this page, always applies.
