Last updated: 14 October 2026

Email

When you send me an email, I receive your name, email address and message. This information is only used to reply to you and to discuss a possible project (legal basis: steps taken at your request prior to entering into a contract, and legitimate interest). I keep it only for as long as needed for our communication. It is never sold or shared for marketing.

Analytics cookies

With your consent, this site uses Google Analytics 4 (Google Ireland Ltd.) to understand how visitors use it, for example which pages are visited and how people arrive here. Google Analytics is only loaded after you click Accept in the cookie banner. If you click Reject, no analytics cookies are set.

Your cookie choice itself is saved in your browser's local storage (rq-cookie-consent), so the banner is not shown on every visit. This is strictly necessary and contains no personal data.

Data collected by Google Analytics may be transferred to and processed in the United States. Google is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. More information: Google Privacy Policy.

You can change your choice at any time: Cookie settings.

Third-party content

Fonts and all other files are served from this site itself; no third-party content is loaded unless you accept analytics. Links to external sites (GitHub, LinkedIn, band websites, etc.) are governed by their own privacy policies.

Hosting and server logs

This site is hosted by Netlify, Inc. (USA), which acts as a data processor. Like any web host, Netlify automatically records technical information (IP address, date and time, page requested, browser) in log files. These are used only for security and to keep the site running, and are deleted periodically by Netlify. Netlify may process this data outside the EU, under the safeguards set out in its data processing terms. More information: Netlify Privacy Policy.

Your rights

You have the right to access, correct or delete your personal data, to restrict or object to its processing, to data portability, and to withdraw your consent at any time. To exercise any of these rights, email rqcenter-web@yahoo.com.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Portuguese data protection authority, CNPD – Comissão Nacional de Proteção de Dados.
