We are pleased that you are visiting our website. The protection and security of your personal information during the use of our website is very important to us. This Privacy Policy explains which personal data we collect when you visit our website and how we use this data.

This Privacy Policy applies to the online offer of Karina Klaus Unipessoal Lda, which is accessible under the domain karinaklaus.com and its subdomains (“our website”).

What is this about?

This Privacy Policy fulfills the legal requirements for transparency in the processing of personal data. Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. Examples include your name, age, address, telephone number, date of birth, email address, IP address, or user behavior when visiting a website. Information that cannot be linked to you personally (or only with disproportionate effort), for example through anonymization, is not considered personal data.
The processing of personal data (such as collection, storage, use, or transfer) always requires a legal basis and a defined purpose.
Stored personal data will be deleted as soon as the purpose of the processing has been achieved and there are no legal grounds for further retention. For each type of processing, we will inform you about the specific storage periods or the criteria used to determine them. Regardless of this, we may retain your personal data in individual cases for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims and where statutory retention obligations apply.

 

Who receives my data?

We only disclose your personal data processed on our website to third parties if this is necessary to fulfill the stated purposes and if the disclosure is covered by a legal basis (such as your consent or our legitimate interests). In addition, we may disclose personal data to third parties in individual cases if this serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims. Possible recipients may include law enforcement authorities, lawyers, auditors, or courts.
Where we use service providers for the operation of our website who process personal data on our behalf within the scope of a data processing agreement (Art. 28 GDPR), these service providers may also be recipients of your personal data. You will find further details on the use of processors and web services in the overview of the individual processing operations below.

 

Do we use cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are sent to your browser and stored on your device when you visit our website. Alternatively, information may also be stored in the local storage of your browser.
Some functions of our website cannot be provided without the use of technically necessary cookies or local storage. Other cookies, however, enable us to perform various analyses — for example, to recognize your browser on a repeat visit to our website and to transmit different kinds of information to us (non-essential cookies). Cookies can help us make our website more user-friendly and effective by tracking your usage patterns or remembering your preferences (such as country and language settings).
If third parties process information through cookies, this information is collected directly via your browser. Cookies do not cause any damage to your device, cannot execute programs, and cannot contain viruses.
You can find detailed information about the cookies we use in the cookie settings or consent manager on this website. For each service that uses cookies, we provide further details in the specific processing sections below.

  • Right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR): Where the processing is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) or on a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) and carried out by automated means, you have the right to receive your data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format or to have it transmitted directly to another controller, where technically feasible.
  • Right to object (Art. 21 GDPR): You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing. You also have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes.
  • Right to withdraw consent (Art. 7(3) GDPR): You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future.

To obtain your valid consent for the use and storage of cookies in the browser you use to access our website and to properly document this we use a consent management platform: CookieFirst. This technology is provided by Digital Data Solutions BV, Plantage Middenlaan 42a, 1018 DH, Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Website: https://cookiefirst.com referred to as CookieFirst.

When you access our website, a connection is established with CookieFirst’s server to give us the possibility to obtain valid consent from you to the use of certain cookies. CookieFirst then stores a cookie in your browser in order to be able to activate only those cookies to which you have consented and to properly document this. The data processed is stored until the predefined storage period expires or you request to delete the data. Certain mandatory legal storage periods may apply notwithstanding the aforementioned.

CookieFirst is used to obtain the legally required consent for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is article 6(1)(c) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Data processing agreement

We have concluded a data processing agreement with CookieFirst. This is a contract required by data protection law, which ensures that data of our website visitors is only processed in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

This analysis begins automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the page/form containing reCAPTCHA. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates several pieces of information (e.g., IP address, time spent on the form, mouse movements, browser information, and potentially the reading speed of the text).
