RD Studio respects the privacy of visitors to its website and processes personal data in accordance with applicable data protection legislation, including the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR / Regulation (EU) 2016/679).

This Policy explains what personal data may be collected when you use the RD Studio website, the purposes for which it is used and the rights you have as a user.

This Policy applies to personal data that may be obtained through the RD Studio website, including when you:

1. submit a contact form;
2. enquire about RD Studio services;
3. subscribe to news and other content;
4. place an order for services or digital products;
5. use other forms and features on the website.

The data controller is:

Self-employed professional, Portugal
Trading name: Rachell Design Studio
Rua Delfim Pinheiro 20, Soure, 3130-239, Portugal
Email: rachelle.design.lab@gmail.com

For questions relating to the processing of personal data, please contact the email address above.

Depending on how you interact with the website, RD Studio may process:

• your name;
• your email address;
• your telephone number, if you provide it;
• the content of your message or enquiry;
• information needed to provide the service you select;
• data provided when placing an order;
• files, photographs, floor plans and other materials you voluntarily provide for the service;
• technical information needed for the operation and security of the website, such as your IP address and browser information;
• information about your consent to receive the newsletter.

RD Studio aims to collect only the data needed for each specific purpose.

Personal data may be processed for the following purposes:

Messages and enquiries.
To respond to your message and discuss a project, consultation or another RD Studio service.

Providing services and fulfilling orders.
To process an order, receive the necessary materials, carry out the selected service, communicate with the client and deliver the result.

RD Studio newsletter.
To send users who have given the relevant consent RD Studio news, content about projects, interiors and home furnishing in Portugal, educational materials, and information about products and services.

Website operation and security.
To ensure the technical operation of the website and prevent spam, misuse and other security threats.

Depending on the circumstances, personal data is processed on one or more of the grounds provided for by the GDPR:

• the user's consent — for example, when subscribing to the newsletter;
• the need to perform a contract or take steps before entering into a contract — for example, when ordering a service;
• compliance with legal obligations applicable to RD Studio;
• legitimate interests, where permitted by law, for example to ensure website security and prevent misuse.

Consent to receive marketing emails is not a condition of purchasing RD Studio services.

When subscribing to RD Studio news, you voluntarily provide your email address and confirm your consent to receive the newsletter.

RD Studio uses the following service to manage subscribers and send email newsletters: Brevo.

You may unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in the emails or by contacting RD Studio at:

rachelle.design.lab@gmail.com

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before that withdrawal.

Your email address is retained for newsletter purposes until you unsubscribe or another ground for its deletion arises.

This is consistent with the CNPD's approach: for example, the CNPD states that email addresses for its own newsletter are used to manage the newsletter and that subscribers can unsubscribe through the relevant link. (CNPD)

When submitting a form on the website, you may provide your name, email address and the content of your message.

This data is used to handle your enquiry and communicate with you.

Submitting a contact form does not, in itself, constitute consent to receive marketing emails.

If you purchase a service or digital product, RD Studio may process information needed for:

• placing and fulfilling the order;
• payment;
• communication with the client;
• delivering the service result;
• complying with accounting, tax and other legal obligations.

If the client provides photographs, floor plans, dimensions or other materials for the service, they are used in connection with the relevant order.

To operate the website and provide certain features, RD Studio may use third-party services that process data to the extent necessary to perform their functions.

In particular, the website may use:

Brevo — subscriber and email newsletter management;
Fluent Forms — processing website forms;
WooCommerce — placing orders;
PayPal — processing the relevant payments;
CleanTalk — website protection against spam;
WP Mail SMTP and the relevant email service — technical delivery of emails.

Some service providers may process data outside the European Economic Area. In such cases, the data protection safeguards required by law must apply.

Personal data is retained for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it was obtained, taking into account applicable legal, accounting and tax requirements.

In particular:

• subscription data is retained until you unsubscribe or another ground for deletion arises;
• enquiry data is retained for as long as necessary to handle the enquiry and subsequent business communication;
• order and payment data is retained for the periods required by applicable law;
• materials provided for the service are retained for the period needed to complete the order and fulfil related obligations.

The GDPR requires users to be informed of the retention period or the criteria used to determine it. (EUR-Lex)

Under the GDPR, in the circumstances provided for by law, you have the right to:

• access your personal data;
• request the correction of inaccurate data;
• request the deletion of data;
• request restriction of processing;
• object to certain types of processing;
• receive your data in a portable format, where applicable;
• withdraw consent previously given;
• lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.

The CNPD also confirms, in particular, the rights of access and erasure in the circumstances provided for by the GDPR. (CNPD)

To exercise your rights, you may write to:

In Portugal, the supervisory authority is the Comissão Nacional de Proteção de Dados (CNPD). Official CNPD website
