Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 2026

1. Data controller

The website www.miguelsaleslopes.com belongs to Miguel Sales Lopes, who is the controller of the personal data described in this policy. For any privacy question, you can contact me at miguel@miguelsaleslopes.com.

2. What data is processed

This website is a professional portfolio. It has no user registration, forms or comments, and it does not use advertising or analytics cookies.

  • Visitor statistics: I use Koko Analytics, which runs on the website’s own server, uses no cookies and does not store IP addresses or any other data that could identify visitors. The data consists only of aggregate counts (pages viewed, where visits come from) and is not shared with third parties.
  • Technical logs and security: like any website, the server automatically records technical data for each request (IP address, date and time, browser, page requested). The website also uses Wordfence, a security system that analyses this data to block attacks and unauthorised access attempts. This data is processed on the basis of the legitimate interest in keeping the website secure and is kept only for as long as necessary for that purpose.
  • Contact: if you write to me by email or WhatsApp, the data you send me (name, contact details and the content of your message) is used only to reply to you and is not shared with third parties.

3. Embedded videos (YouTube)

The work shown on this website includes videos hosted on YouTube (Google Ireland Limited), embedded in privacy-enhanced mode. When you open a page containing one of these videos, your browser connects to YouTube, which may receive your IP address; when you play the video, YouTube may also set its own cookies. That processing is the responsibility of Google, under its privacy policy:

4. External links

The website contains links to LinkedIn, Instagram, WhatsApp and other sites. If you follow them, the privacy policies of those services apply.

5. Cookies

This website does not set cookies on visitors. The only cookies used are the technical cookies of WordPress and the security system, and only for people who log in to the administration area. The third-party cookies described in section 3 are set only by YouTube itself.

6. Your rights

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right to request access to, rectification, erasure or restriction of processing of your data, as well as to object to processing and to request data portability. To exercise these rights, simply write to miguel@miguelsaleslopes.com.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority, the Portuguese Data Protection Authority (Comissão Nacional de Proteção de Dados, www.cnpd.pt).

7. Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated whenever the way the website works changes. The date of the last update is shown at the top of this page.
