Who we are
Siir & Rui Ventures, LDA ("we"), a company registered in Portugal with NIPC 519256344, is the controller of personal data collected through this website. Contact us about privacy at softwareconsultancy@siirandruiventures.com.
What we collect and why
| What | Why | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|
| Name, email and message content when you email us | To reply and discuss a potential engagement | Steps before a contract; our legitimate interest in responding |
| Name, email and any notes when you book a call | To hold the call | Steps before a contract |
| Technical data (IP address, browser, pages visited) in server logs | To run and secure the site | Our legitimate interest in security |
We don't sell your data or use it for advertising.
Who we share it with
We use a few service providers who process data on our behalf: Lovable for website hosting and visitor statistics (running on Cloudflare infrastructure), and Google for email (Google Workspace) and call booking (Google Calendar). Some may process data outside the EU; where they do, transfers are covered by the EU–US Data Privacy Framework or the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses. We may also disclose data where the law requires it.
How long we keep it
Enquiries that don't lead to an engagement: deleted 24 months after our last contact. Client records: as long as the engagement lasts, plus any period required by Portuguese tax and accounting law. Server logs: as set by our hosting provider, typically a few weeks.
Cookies
We use no advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. The site sets two cookies:
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
| __cf_bm | Cloudflare | Security: distinguishes people from bots | 30 minutes |
| session-id | Lovable | Anonymous visitor statistics (page views), no names or emails | 30 minutes |
The site also keeps your scroll position in your browser's session storage; it never leaves your device. When you book a call you go to Google's booking page, which is covered by Google's own privacy and cookie policies.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time; the site works fully without them.
Your rights
You can ask us to access, correct, delete or restrict your data, object to how we use it, or receive a copy in a portable format. Email softwareconsultancy@siirandruiventures.com and we'll respond within one month. You can also complain to the Portuguese data protection authority, the CNPD.
