• Event registration — name and contact details when you sign up for readings or launches.

3. Purposes and legal bases

We process personal data to:

• Fulfil purchases, reservations, and shipping (Art. 6(1)(b));
• Manage event registrations (Art. 6(1)(b) or (a));

Enquiry emails are kept as long as needed to complete the conversation and for a reasonable follow-up period, normally up to 24 months, unless a longer period is required for accounting or dispute handling. Order and invoicing records are retained in line with Portuguese tax and commercial rules (typically up to 10 years where applicable). Cookie consent choices are stored in your browser until you clear them or change your preference.

5. Recipients and transfers

We may use service providers for email hosting, web hosting, and (if enabled) analytics. Such processors act on our instructions under data processing agreements. We do not sell your personal data. If data is transferred outside the EEA, we ensure appropriate safeguards (e.g. EU Standard Contractual Clauses).

6. Your rights

Under the GDPR and Lei n.º 58/2019 you may request access, rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability, and object to processing based on legitimate interests. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw consent at any time without affecting prior lawful processing. To exercise your rights, contact [email protected].
