About this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how fred.pt (“we”, “us”, “our”) operated by Frederico collects, uses and shares personal information about visitors and subscribers (“you”). By using the website you agree to this Policy and our Terms of Use.

What Information We Collect

We collect the following types of personal information when you interact with the site:

  • Name and email address (e.g. when you subscribe or contact us)
  • Payment information (processed securely by our payment processor – we do not store full card numbers)
  • Account / subscription status
  • Any information you choose to provide in comments or messages
  • Technical data such as IP address, browser type, device information and referring pages (collected via cookies and similar technologies)

How We Use Your Information

We use personal information to:

  • Provide the website, newsletter and any paid memberships you request
  • Process payments and manage subscriptions
  • Respond to enquiries or support requests
  • Improve and secure the site (analytics, troubleshooting, preventing abuse)
  • Send administrative or marketing emails (you can unsubscribe at any time)
  • Comply with legal obligations

We process your personal data only where we have a legal basis under GDPR: performance of a contract, consent, legitimate interests (site security/analytics) or compliance with legal obligations.

Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with:

  • Service providers needed to run the site (hosting platform/Ghost, email delivery, analytics, payment processor such as Stripe)
  • Legal authorities if required to comply with law or protect our rights
  • A buyer/merger partner if the business is transferred

International Transfers

Our service providers may store or process data outside Portugal/the EU. Where this happens we rely on appropriate safeguards (e.g. Standard Contractual Clauses) to protect your data.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information. However, no system is completely secure; please use a strong, unique password.

Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the site and understand usage. Essential cookies are required for the site to function. You can control non‑essential cookies via your browser settings. Disabling cookies may limit some features.

Your Rights (GDPR)

You may request access, correction, deletion, restriction or portability of your personal data, and object to certain processing. Where processing is based on consent you may withdraw consent at any time.

Retention

We keep personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes above or to comply with legal/financial record keeping requirements. When no longer needed it is deleted or anonymised.

Children

The site is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. Contact us if you believe we have such information.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last Updated” date shows the latest revision.
