5. How and Why We Use Personal Information

Professional Inquiries and Pre-Contractual Communication

We may use information you provide to review and respond to inquiries, discuss potential projects, understand project scope and requirements, prepare proposals and communicate about possible professional engagements.

Client and Project Administration

Where a professional relationship is established, information may be processed to manage communications, coordinate production, deliver services, maintain project records and administer the professional relationship.

Website Operation and Security

Technical information may be processed to operate and maintain the website, improve availability and performance, prevent misuse, detect suspicious activity, investigate security incidents and protect our systems and communications.

Website Analytics

Where analytics technologies are enabled, information may be used to understand website performance, traffic patterns and how visitors interact with content.

Where applicable law requires consent for non-essential analytics, such technologies will remain disabled until the appropriate consent has been obtained.

Legal and Business Administration

Information may also be processed where reasonably necessary to comply with legal obligations, maintain appropriate professional records, respond to lawful requests, prevent fraud or establish, exercise or defend legal rights.

6. Legal Bases for Processing

The applicable legal basis depends on the purpose, context and jurisdiction.

Where relevant, we may rely on:

Contract or Pre-Contractual Measures

Where processing is necessary to respond to your request, discuss a potential engagement or provide contracted professional services.

Consent

Where applicable law requires your permission, including for certain non-essential cookies and similar technologies.

Legitimate Interests

Where processing is reasonably necessary for legitimate professional purposes and those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms.

Our legitimate interests may include:

• operating and securing the website;
• responding to genuine professional communications;
• managing business relationships;
• preventing fraud and misuse;
• maintaining appropriate professional records;
• improving website performance;
• protecting or enforcing legal rights.

Legal Obligations

Legal Claims

Where information is reasonably necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal rights.

Where Brazilian law applies, personal data is processed in accordance with the Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados Pessoais — LGPD (Law No. 13,709/2018).

7. Is Providing Personal Information Mandatory?

You are not required to provide personal information simply to browse publicly available portfolio content.

However, certain information — such as a valid means of contact and sufficient information about a professional inquiry — may be necessary for us to respond, prepare a proposal or provide professional services.

If necessary information is not provided, we may be unable to respond to or fulfill your request.

8. Cookies and Similar Technologies

This website may use cookies, local storage, scripts and similar technologies for purposes including:

9. Sharing Personal Information

We do not disclose personal information indiscriminately.

Information may also be disclosed to professional advisers where reasonably necessary or to competent authorities where disclosure is required or permitted by law.

Service providers that process personal information on our behalf are expected to process it only for authorized purposes and subject to appropriate confidentiality and data-protection obligations where required.

10. Sale, Sharing and Targeted Advertising

We do not sell personal information in exchange for monetary consideration.

Certain privacy laws may define terms such as “sale” or “sharing” more broadly and may include some forms of advertising or cross-context behavioral tracking.

If technologies are used that fall within those definitions and applicable law provides an opt-out right, the appropriate privacy controls will be made available.

Where required and technically supported, recognized opt-out preference signals may also be honored.

11. International Data Transfers

Marcos Coelho is based in Brazil and works internationally.

Some service providers supporting this website may process or store personal information outside the country in which you are located.

Where international transfers are subject to data-protection requirements, appropriate lawful safeguards will be used where required.

Depending on the circumstances, these may include:

• adequacy decisions;
• contractual safeguards;
• standard contractual clauses;
• legally recognized international-transfer mechanisms.

Where European or United Kingdom data protection laws apply, appropriate EU or UK transfer safeguards may be used.

Where Brazilian law applies, international transfers are handled in accordance with the LGPD and applicable regulations issued by Brazil’s National Data Protection Authority.

You may contact hello@marcoscoelho.studio for further information regarding applicable safeguards.

12. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.

Retention periods may take into account:

• the nature of the information;
• the professional relationship;
• applicable legal obligations;
• limitation periods;
• security requirements;
• legitimate recordkeeping needs.

Professional inquiries that do not result in an engagement may be deleted when they are no longer reasonably necessary for follow-up or legitimate professional purposes.

Communications and records relating to completed professional engagements may be retained where necessary to comply with legal, administrative or accounting obligations or to establish, exercise or defend legal rights.

Technical, analytics and cookie-related retention periods may vary according to the technology involved and are described where applicable in the Cookie Policy.

When information is no longer required, reasonable measures are taken to delete, anonymize or otherwise appropriately dispose of it.

13. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against:

• unauthorized access;
• accidental or unlawful loss;
• misuse;
• alteration;
• unauthorized disclosure;
• destruction.

Depending on the systems involved, these measures may include encrypted connections, access controls, authentication mechanisms, security monitoring, software maintenance and protected infrastructure.

No website, internet transmission method or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

14. Security Incidents

If a security incident involving personal information occurs, we will assess the incident and take reasonable measures to contain, investigate and remediate it.

Where applicable law requires notification to a data-protection authority or affected individuals, notifications will be made in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
