• the contact, booking and registration forms available on the website;

• the newsletter and email communications;

• the purchase or booking of services through the website, including massage, therapy, mentoring, couples massage classes, programs and courses.

• purchases and subscriptions made through the Hotmart and Patreon platforms, to the extent that data is passed on to us.

The website may contain links to third-party sites (for example, partner shops or social networks). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and recommend that you read their policies.

​3. Definitions

• Personal data: any information that identifies, or can be used to identify, a natural person (e.g. name, email, IP address).

• Processing: any operation performed on personal data (collection, recording, consultation, use, storage, erasure).

• Data subject: the person the data relates to, i.e. the visitor or client.

• Processor: an entity that processes data on our behalf (e.g. a hosting or newsletter provider).

• Cookies: small files stored on your device when you visit the website.

​4. What data we collect

Data you give us directly:

• Contact and bookings: name, email, phone, message, requested service, booking date and time.

• Newsletter and free offers: name and email.

• Purchases and invoicing: name, tax number (NIF), billing address, service or product purchased, amount and date. Card or payment account details are handled directly by the payment providers and are never stored by us.

• Blog comments: name, email and comment content.

• Registration for programs, retreats, walks, classes or mentoring: data needed for the organization (e.g. emergency contact, dietary preferences for retreats).

Data collected automatically:

• IP address, device and browser type, operating system, pages visited, time spent, where the visit came from, and interactions with ads or affiliate links, through cookies and similar technologies (see section 10).

​5. Health data (special category)

To provide massage and therapy services safely, we may ask for information about your health (e.g. injuries, pain, contraindications, relevant medication). This data is a special category under Article 9 of the GDPR and is handled with extra care:

• it is collected only with your explicit consent, given in writing on the client form or a dedicated form;

• it is used exclusively to adapt and deliver the service safely;

• it is never used for advertising, marketing or profiling, nor shared with advertisers or partners;

• it is stored with restricted access and for the period stated in section 13;

• you may withdraw your consent at any time, bearing in mind that this may prevent certain services from being provided for safety reasons.

Please do not send health information through the blog comments, which are public.

​6. Why we use your data and on what legal basis

We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

​7. Monetization of the website and blog: advertising

The website and blog are monetized, which allows us to keep offering free content. To do so, we may show third-party ads, namely through Google AdSense and other advertising networks.

• These providers, including Google, use cookies to show ads based on your previous visits to this and other websites.

• Advertising cookies enable Google and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.

• Personalized ads are only enabled after you give your consent in the cookie banner. Without consent, non-personalized ads may be shown.

• You can opt out of Google's personalized advertising at adssettings.google.com and learn how Google uses data at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

• You can also manage preferences for many European advertisers at youronlinechoices.eu.

We do not control the content of ads served by third parties. The presence of an ad does not mean we endorse the product or service advertised.

​8. Affiliate links and sponsored content

Affiliate links. Some articles and pages contain affiliate links. If you click one of these links and make a purchase, we may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. To record the purchase, the partner (e.g. Amazon or other affiliate programs) may place cookies on your device and collect data about the click and the purchase, under that partner's privacy policy. We do not receive your purchase or payment data, only aggregated commission information.

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Sponsored content and partnerships. We may publish sponsored content or enter into paid partnerships with brands. This content is always clearly labeled (e.g. "Sponsored", "In partnership with" or "Advertisement"), in line with the Portuguese Advertising Code. The opinions expressed are always our own. We do not share your personal data with partner brands without your prior, explicit consent (for example, in a giveaway where this is stated).

​9. Sale of services and products

Services and products can be purchased or booked through the website, such as massage and therapy sessions, mentoring, walks, retreats, couples massage classes, programs, courses and other digital content. In that case we process the data needed to:

• process the order or booking and confirm payment;

• provide the service or give access to the purchased content;

• issue the invoice, as required by Portuguese tax law;

• provide customer support and handle refund requests or complaints.

Payments are processed by secure external providers (see section 11).

Hotmart and Patreon. Some courses, programs and digital content are sold through Hotmart, and exclusive content for supporters is made available through Patreon. When you buy or subscribe through these platforms:

• the purchase, payment, the platform's invoicing and the management of your account are handled by the platform itself, which acts as an independent controller of your data under its own privacy policy (Hotmart and Patreon);

• we only receive the data needed to give you access to the content and support, such as your name, email, product or membership tier, date and payment status;

• we never receive your card or payment account details;

• we use this data to deliver the service you purchased, communicate with you about it and, if you have given consent, send you news and offers;

• Patreon memberships can be canceled at any time from your Patreon account.

​10. Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies to make the website work, understand how it is used and fund it through advertising and affiliate links. Apart from strictly necessary cookies, we only set cookies after you give your consent, which you can give, refuse or change at any time in the banner or via the "Cookie preferences" link in the website footer.

You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block all cookies, some features of the website may stop working.

​11. Who we share data with

We only share data with entities that help us run the website and the business, and only as far as necessary. Depending on the tools in use, these may include:

• Website hosting and platform: WORDPRESS / NO.COMUNIDADES.NET / BLOGGER / HOSTINGER;

• Statistics: Google Analytics (Google Ireland Limited);

• Advertising: Google AdSense (Google Ireland Limited), Meta Platforms Ireland Limited (Meta Pixel) and other advertising networks;

• Affiliate programmes: AMAZON EUROPE CORE and other partners;

• Newsletter and email marketing: GMAIL / BLOGGER / WORDPRESS / HOSTINGER / MAILERLITE / BREVO / MAILCHIMP;

• Online bookings: CALENDLY / FRESHA / HOSTINGER / OTHER;

• Payments: STRIPE / PAYPAL / EUPAGO / IFTHENPAY para MB WAY e Multibanco;

• Digital content and membership platforms: Hotmart (Hotmart BV) and Patreon (Patreon, Inc.), which also act as independent controllers of their users' account and payment data;

• Invoicing and accounting: certified invoicing software and a certified accountant;

• Public authorities (e.g. the Portuguese Tax Authority), where required by law.

Processors only handle data on our instructions and are required to protect it. Advertising, social media and affiliate providers may act as independent controllers of the data they collect through their cookies, in which case their own privacy policies also apply.

​12. International transfers

Some providers (e.g. Google, Meta, Amazon, Patreon, Hotmart, newsletter or payment providers) may transfer data outside the European Economic Area, namely to the United States and Brazil. In such cases, transfers are made with appropriate safeguards under the GDPR, such as the European Commission's adequacy decision (EU-US Data Privacy Framework) or standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission.

​13. How long we keep data

After these periods, the data is deleted or anonymised.

​14. Your rights

Under the GDPR, you have the right to:

• access your personal data;

• rectify incorrect or incomplete data;

• request erasure of your data ("right to be forgotten"), unless the law requires us to keep it;

• request restriction of processing;

• object to processing based on legitimate interest and, at any time, to direct marketing;

• request portability of the data you gave us;

• withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing already carried out (e.g. unsubscribe from the newsletter using the link in each email, or change your cookie preferences).

To exercise these rights, email info@inessilvamassage.com. We will reply within one month at most and may ask for proof of identity to protect your data. Exercising your rights is free of charge.

​15. Minors

The website and services are intended for people aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect data from minors. If we learn that we have collected data from a minor without the consent of their parents or legal guardians, that data will be deleted.

​16. Security

We apply appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data against loss, unauthorized access or disclosure, including a secure connection (HTTPS), strong passwords and two-factor authentication on accounts, restricted access to client forms, and backups. If a data breach poses a risk to you, we will notify the CNPD and, where required, the affected individuals.

​17. Complaints

If you believe your data has not been handled properly, you can contact us first so we can resolve the matter. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority:

Comissão Nacional de Proteção de Dados (CNPD), the Portuguese Data Protection Authority Av. D. Carlos I, 134, 1.º, 1200-651 Lisboa www.cnpd.pt

​18. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy, for example when we add new tools, partners or forms of monetization. The date of the last update is always shown at the top. If the changes are significant, we will let you know through the website or by email.
