Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how André Carpinelli Advogados processes the personal data of people who visit this website or contact us through it, in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable legislation.

1. Data controller

The data controller is André Carpinelli Advogados, with offices at Av. D. João II, 17, 2.º Piso, Serv. 3, 1990-078 Lisbon, Portugal. For any question about your personal data, you can contact us at atendimento@andrecarpinelliadvogados.pt.

2. Data we process

We process the data you provide voluntarily when you fill in a form, send us an email or contact us by WhatsApp or phone: name, email, phone number, country of residence, preferred language, area of interest and the description of the matter you choose to share. Please do not include in these messages sensitive information that is not needed for an initial assessment.

With your consent, we also collect browsing data through analytics and marketing cookies, as described in the Cookies section.

3. Purposes and legal bases

We use your data to respond to contact and case assessment requests and to prepare any provision of legal services, on the basis of pre-contractual steps taken at your request (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR). Browsing data collected through analytics and marketing cookies is processed on the basis of your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). We may also process data to comply with legal obligations to which the firm is subject (Article 6(1)(c) GDPR).

4. Data sharing

Your data is processed by the firm's team and is not sold or transferred for commercial purposes. We use service providers that process data on our behalf, such as the form submission service (Formspree), website hosting and, only with your consent, Google and Meta analytics and marketing tools. When a matter involves other jurisdictions, and with your knowledge, the necessary data may be shared with local colleagues and partners. Data may also be disclosed to authorities where required by law.

5. International transfers

Some service providers are located outside the European Economic Area, in particular in the United States. In such cases, transfers take place on the basis of a European Commission adequacy decision or standard contractual clauses. When a request is also handled by the São Paulo office, the necessary data is shared with the appropriate safeguards provided for in the GDPR.

6. Data retention

We keep contact request data only for as long as necessary to respond and, if a professional relationship results, for the legal periods applicable to the practice of law. Data collected through cookies is kept for the periods set by each tool and is no longer collected once you withdraw your consent.

7. Your rights

You may at any time exercise your rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, objection and data portability, and withdraw any consent you have given, without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing. To do so, contact us at atendimento@andrecarpinelliadvogados.pt.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Portuguese Data Protection Authority (CNPD), www.cnpd.pt.

8. Cookies

We use essential cookies, which are required for the site to work and do not depend on consent.

With your consent, we also use analytics cookies (Google Analytics), which help us understand how the site is used, and marketing cookies (Google Ads and Meta), which let us measure and improve our campaigns. These tools are managed through Google Tag Manager and are only activated after you accept them.

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time through the “Cookie preferences” option in the site footer.

9. Security

We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against loss, unauthorized access or improper disclosure, including an encrypted (HTTPS) connection across the entire website.

10. Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated to reflect legal changes or changes in the services we use. The current version is always available on this page.
