What data we collect and why
| Source | Data | Purpose and legal basis |
|---|---|---|

| Catalogue request (PDF) | Email (required); name, profile type (restaurant, shop, distributor or private individual) and chosen language (optional); marketing opt-in, if you tick it. | Recording the request, enabling the download and following up on it. Legal basis: legitimate interest in knowing who consults the catalogue. Commercial emails: only with your separate, optional consent. |
| Cookies and analytics (Google Analytics 4) | Pages visited, clicks, device and browser, approximate location and events such as catalogue downloads (source, language and whether an email was left — never the email itself). | Understanding how the site is used and improving it. Legal basis: your consent, requested in the cookie banner. Without consent, Google Analytics is not loaded. |

Marketing communications
We only send you commercial communications if you ticked the (separate, optional) consent box when requesting the catalogue. You can withdraw consent at any time by replying to any message from us or writing to geral@pedacodeminas.pt. We never sell your data.
Who we share data with
We use service providers who process data on our behalf, solely for the purposes above:
- Netlify — site hosting and form submissions (B2B contact and catalogue)
- Google (Google Analytics 4) — site analytics, only with your consent; may involve transfer of data outside the European Economic Area, with the safeguards required by the GDPR
The WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook buttons are external links: once you click, you are subject to the privacy policies of those platforms (Meta Platforms). The site does not embed content from those networks.
How long we keep your data
We keep contact and catalogue-request data for as long as needed to answer the request and maintain the commercial relationship history. Data processed on the basis of consent (marketing) is kept until you withdraw consent. You can ask for your data to be deleted at any time.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you have the right to access, rectify, erase or port your data, to restrict or object to processing and to withdraw consent. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at geral@pedacodeminas.pt. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the CNPD — the Portuguese Data Protection Authority.
