Privacy
This notice explains how Quinta Costa handles the personal information you share with us through this website, and the rights you have over it.
Who we are
Quinta Costa is a private family estate in Carrazedo de Montenegro, Portugal. The data controller is Leonore and Jose Costa, Estrada Nacional 314 N 30, 5445-109 Carrazedo de Montenegro, Portugal. You can contact us about anything in this notice at quintacostavacations@gmail.com.
What we collect
When you send an enquiry through our form, we collect your first and last name, your email address, your preferred dates, your estimated number of guests, where you live, how you heard about us, and anything else you choose to tell us. If you email us directly, we receive your email address and whatever you include in your message.
When you visit the site, our website provider, Squarespace, collects technical information such as your IP address, browser type and the pages you view. See "Cookies" below.
Why we use it, and on what legal basis
We use your enquiry to reply to you, check availability, and talk through how your wedding could work. This is processing at your request before entering into a contract (GDPR Article 6(1)(b)). If you book, we use your details to plan and deliver your event, and to keep the records we are required to keep by law (Article 6(1)(c)).
We do not use your information for marketing, and we never sell it.
Who we share it with
Matriz Weddings, our planning partner in Portugal, so they can help plan your wedding. Matriz Weddings handles your information as an independent controller, under its own privacy notice.
Squarespace, which hosts this website and stores form submissions on our behalf.
Google, which provides our email service.
Suppliers you choose, such as caterers, but only with your agreement and only what they need for your event.
Transfers outside the European Economic Area
Squarespace and Google store data on servers in the United States. Both companies are certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which the European Commission recognises as providing adequate protection for transfers to certified US companies.
How long we keep it
If you enquire but don't book, we delete your enquiry 24 months after our last contact. If you book, we keep your details for as long as Portuguese tax and accounting law requires, then delete them.
Your rights
You can ask us to:
give you a copy of the information we hold about you
correct anything that is wrong
delete your information
limit how we use it, or object to how we use it
send your information to you or to someone else in a usable format
Email quintacostavacations@gmail.com and we will reply within one month. If you are unhappy with how we have handled your information, you can complain to the Portuguese data protection authority, the Comissão Nacional de Proteção de Dados (CNPD), Av. D. Carlos I, 134 – 1.º, 1200-651 Lisboa, geral@cnpd.pt, or to the authority in the country where you live.
