This policy explains what personal data Barreira Architecture collects on this website, why, and how to exercise your rights, in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR, Regulation (EU) 2016/679) and the amended French Data Protection Act (Law no. 78-17 of 6 January 1978).

Data collected and purposes

“Project consultation” form

  • Data: name, email address, phone number (optional), profile, type of project, location, estimated budget, timeline, message.
  • Purpose: to respond to your request and prepare any future collaboration.
  • Legal basis: your consent, given by ticking the box on the form, and pre-contractual measures taken at your request (Article 6(1)(a) and (b) GDPR).

Protection against abuse

To limit automated submissions, a non-reversible fingerprint of your IP address is kept on the server for no more than 24 hours. It cannot be used to identify you and is used for no other purpose.

The form is also protected by ALTCHA: your browser solves a small calculation that our server checks. This uses no cookies or third-party services and collects no personal data.

Technical logs

Like any host, Hostinger records connection logs (IP address, date, page requested) needed for the security and proper operation of the service. Retention period: set by the host, no more than 12 months.

Cookies and trackers

This website sets no cookies and uses no audience measurement tools, advertising pixels or embedded third-party services. Typefaces are hosted on the website itself: no data is sent to an external provider when you visit. No consent banner is therefore required.

Recipients

Your data is intended exclusively for Barreira Architecture. It is not sold, rented or transferred. It passes through the following technical providers, acting as processors:

  • Hostinger International Ltd. (Cyprus) — website hosting;
  • Google Ireland Ltd. (Google Workspace) — the studio’s email. Google may transfer certain data outside the European Union, subject to appropriate safeguards (standard contractual clauses, Data Privacy Framework).

Retention period

Requests received through the form are kept for three years from the last exchange and then deleted, unless a contractual relationship begins; documents relating to the contract are then kept for the applicable legal periods.

Your rights

You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, object to and port your data, as well as the right to withdraw your consent at any time and to set out instructions regarding your data after your death.

To exercise these rights, write to contact@barreira-architecture.fr or by post to Barreira Architecture, 3 impasse du Crampon,40530 Labenne, France. You will receive a reply within one month.

If you believe your rights have not been respected, you may lodge a complaint with the CNIL, the French data protection authority (cnil.fr).

Security

The website is served exclusively over HTTPS. Messages from the form are sent over an encrypted connection to the studio’s email and are not stored on the web server.
