Privacy & Data Protection

In one sentence: this site doesn't track you, has no third-party cookies, doesn't use Google Analytics, and form data is used exclusively to reply to you.

1. Who we are

Limen Lar is a sole-trader business based in Almada, Portugal, dedicated to the installation and maintenance of smart home and surveillance systems.

2. When you visit this site

This site is statically generated (pure HTML) and served via the Cloudflare network. We don't use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any other commercial tracking service.

What happens:

  • Cloudflare may collect aggregated traffic data (pages visited, country of origin, browser) for network operations purposes. This data is anonymised and aggregated — Cloudflare does not associate it with personal identifiers. Cloudflare privacy policy: cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.
  • We do not use tracking cookies, third-party cookies, or pixel tracking.
  • We use localStorage (browser local storage) to remember your light/dark theme preference. This is not shared with third parties and contains no personal data.

3. When you submit the contact form

When you submit the form, your data is sent to an intermediary server that validates the anti-spam request (via Cloudflare Turnstile) and forwards it to the email address ola@limenlar.pt.

Data collected: name, email, phone (if provided), property type, approximate location, priorities, and message.

Legal basis: pre-contractual steps at the data subject's request (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).

Retention: contact data is kept for as long as necessary to respond to the request and, if we proceed to contract, for the applicable legal period (generally 7 years for tax documentation). Messages from non-clients are deleted after 12 months.

Sharing: your data is not shared with third parties for marketing or analysis purposes. The email server used is European and GDPR-compliant.

Cloudflare Turnstile is used for anti-spam protection. It is privacy-friendly: it does not use persistent cookies, does not collect behavioural data, and is not reCAPTCHA. Cloudflare Turnstile policy: cloudflare.com/products/turnstile.

4. When you become a client

If we proceed to installation, the data required for the contract, proposal, and invoicing is processed in accordance with GDPR, on the basis of the contract concluded (Art. 6(1)(b)).

For installations with video surveillance, a CNPD annex is issued containing a camera map, fields of view, retention policy, and compliance procedures — delivered to the client as part of the installation documentation.

5. Sub-processors and third parties

The only third parties that may have access to personal data are:

  • Cloudflare — network infrastructure and anti-spam. GDPR-compliant, EU-based for European data.
  • Email provider — for sending and receiving email. European and GDPR-compliant (to be confirmed with chosen provider).

No other sub-processor has access to personal data of visitors or clients.

6. Your rights

Under GDPR, you have the right to:

  • Access — know what data we hold about you
  • Rectification — correct inaccurate data
  • Erasure — request deletion of your data
  • Objection — object to processing
  • Portability — receive your data in a readable format
  • Restriction — limit processing in certain circumstances

To exercise any of these rights, write to privacidade@limenlar.pt. I will respond within 30 days (GDPR deadline).

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the CNPD — Comissão Nacional de Proteção de Dados (the Portuguese data protection authority).

7. Cookies and local storage

We do not use tracking, advertising, or behavioural analytics cookies.

We use localStorage (browser local storage) to save your theme preference (light/dark). This preference:

  • Contains no personal data
  • Is not shared with third parties
  • Persists until you clear your browser storage
  • Does not require consent as it is strictly necessary for functionality

8. About installed surveillance systems

Surveillance systems installed by Limen Lar are configured in compliance with Portuguese law and GDPR:

  • Recording exclusively local (no cloud)
  • Retention limited to 30 days (by default)
  • Privacy masks on areas covering public space or neighbouring property
  • Mandatory signage at entry points (provided as part of residential installations; for commercial use, full documented process)

Each installation includes a CNPD Annex with full documentation. For commercial use (offices, clinics), a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) is carried out where applicable.

9. Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated occasionally. The last-updated date is visible at the top of the page. For significant changes, active clients will be notified directly.
