Your Rights Regarding Personal Data.
As a user, you have the right to full transparency and control over your personal data. Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you are entitled to exercise the following rights
Right to Access.
You have the right to obtain confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning you is being processed, and, where that is the case, access to the personal data and the following information:
- The purposes of the processing.
- The categories of personal data concerned.
- The recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, particularly recipients in third countries or international organisations.
- Where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period.
- The existence of the right to request rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing of personal data concerning you or to object to such processing.
- The right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
- Where the personal data are not collected from you, any available information as to their source.
- The existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for you.
Right to Erasure ("Right to Be Forgotten").
You have the right to request the erasure of your personal data without undue delay if one of the following grounds applies:
- The personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
- You withdraw consent on which the processing is based, and there is no other legal ground for the processing.
- You object to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR, and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) of the GDPR.
- The personal data have been unlawfully processed.
- The personal data must be erased for compliance with a legal obligation in Union or Member State law to which I am subject.
- The personal data have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Article 8(1) of the GDPR.
Right to Rectification.
If your personal data is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request the rectification of inaccurate data and to have incomplete data completed.
Right to Restriction of Processing.
You have the right to obtain from us restriction of processing where one of the following applies:
- You contest the accuracy of the personal data, for a period enabling us to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
- The processing is unlawful, and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of their use instead.
- I no longer need the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but you require them for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.
- You have objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR pending the verification whether my legitimate grounds override yours.
Right to Data Portability.
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from us, where:
- The processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) or Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR; and
- The processing is carried out by automated means.
In exercising your right to data portability, you have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from us to another controller, where technically feasible.
Right to Object.
You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions. I will no longer process the personal data unless I can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights, and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.
Where personal data are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.
Right to Withdraw Consent.
Where the processing of your personal data is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
Right to Lodge a Complaint.
If you believe that the processing of your personal data infringes the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement.

Google Services.
This section outlines how F. Linhares UX/UI Design integrates Google services, including Google Analytics, Google Maps, and Google Fonts. It details data collection, processing, and user privacy measures in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG).
Google Analytics.
Overview.
Our website utilises Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Analytics employs cookies—small text files stored on your device—to analyse website usage. The information generated by these cookies about your use of the website is typically transmitted to and stored on Google servers.
IP Anonymisation.
To adhere to European data protection standards, I have activated IP anonymisation. This process truncates your IP address within EU member states or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmission to Google. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address sent to a Google server and shortened there.
Data Processing Agreement.
I have entered into a Data Processing Agreement with Google to ensure that your data is handled in accordance with GDPR requirements. Google processes this information on my behalf to evaluate website usage, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website and internet usage.
Legal Basis.
The use of Google Analytics is based on Article 6(1)(a) GDPR, which allows data processing with the user’s consent. I obtain your explicit consent before activating Google Analytics during your website visit.
Opt-Out Options.
You can prevent the collection of data generated by cookies related to your website use (including your IP address) by Google by downloading and installing the browser add-on available at: Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on.
Google Maps.
Overview.
Our website incorporates Google Maps, a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, to display interactive maps and provide location information. When you access a page with an embedded Google Map, your browser may transmit personal data, such as your IP address and location data, to Google.
Legal Basis.
The integration of Google Maps is based on Article 6(1)(a) GDPR, relying on your consent. I ensure that Google Maps is only activated after you have provided explicit consent.
Data Processing Agreement.
I have a Data Processing Agreement with Google to ensure that your data is processed in compliance with GDPR standards.
Opt-Out Options.
If you prefer not to have your data processed by Google in connection with Google Maps, you can disable JavaScript in your browser settings. However, this may affect the functionality of my website.
Google Fonts.
Overview.
Our website uses Google Fonts to enhance visual presentation. Previously, fonts were fetched from Google servers, which involved transmitting your IP address to Google. To comply with GDPR requirements, I now host Google Fonts locally on my servers, eliminating the need to connect to Google servers and ensuring that no personal data is transmitted to Google.
Legal Basis.
The use of locally hosted fonts is based on my legitimate interest in providing a consistent and visually appealing website, in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
External Links Disclaimer.
I may link to external websites. However, I am not responsible for their content or privacy policies. If I become aware of legal violations, I will remove such links immediately.
