Everything Algarve ("we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what personal data we collect, how we use it, and your rights under the UK GDPR and EU GDPR.
Everything Algarve is operated as an independent website. Our contact email is hello@everythingalgarve.com.
Data you provide directly: When you use our contact form we collect your name, email address and message content. We use this only to respond to your enquiry and do not add you to any mailing list without your explicit consent.
Usage data: If you consent to analytics cookies, we collect anonymised information about how you use the site — which pages you visit, how long you spend on them, and broad geographic location (country/region level only). We do not collect personally identifiable information through analytics.
Technical data: Our web server automatically logs IP addresses, browser type, and pages requested as part of normal web server operation. These logs are retained for up to 30 days for security purposes and are not shared with third parties.
We process your data on the following legal bases:
Contract / legitimate interests: Server logs and essential cookies are necessary to operate the website.
Consent: Analytics and advertising cookies are only placed with your explicit consent, which you can withdraw at any time via our cookie settings.
Legitimate interests: We process contact form submissions to respond to enquiries.
We use cookies to operate the site and, with your consent, to analyse traffic and serve relevant advertising. For full details see our Cookie Policy. You can manage your preferences at any time using the Cookie settings link in the footer.
We may use third-party services including:
Google AdSense — if advertising cookies are accepted, Google may serve personalised ads and set their own cookies. Google's privacy policy applies: policies.google.com/privacy.
Analytics — we may use an analytics service to understand site usage. Any analytics data is anonymised before processing.
We do not sell your personal data to any third party.
Contact form submissions are retained for up to 2 years. Server logs are retained for up to 30 days. Analytics data is retained in aggregated, anonymised form indefinitely.
Under GDPR you have the right to: access the personal data we hold about you; request correction of inaccurate data; request deletion of your data; object to processing; and withdraw consent at any time. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@everythingalgarve.com.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority (in the UK: the ICO at ico.org.uk; in Portugal: the CNPD at cnpd.pt).
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, loss or disclosure. Our site is served over HTTPS. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last updated. Significant changes will be noted on the site.
