Website analytics
Vercel hosts this website and provides anonymous, aggregated Web Analytics without cookies. These statistics include page views, referring pages, approximate country, device type, browser and operating system. They are used to understand the overall performance of the portfolio and cannot be used by us to identify an individual visitor.
Google Analytics 4 is optional and loads only after you select Accept in the analytics notice. When enabled, it measures visits, engagement, traffic sources, page navigation and successful project-enquiry submissions. Advertising storage, Google Signals and ad-personalisation features are disabled. The legal basis for this processing is your consent.
Google Analytics may set first-party cookies named _ga and _ga_*. Their lifetime on this website is limited to approximately 13 months and is not renewed on every visit. You can refuse analytics without affecting access to the website, or change your choice at any time through in the footer.
Contact enquiries
If you submit the contact form, the details you provide are used only to receive, assess and reply to your project enquiry. The form is delivered through the website's email provider, Resend. Please do not include sensitive personal information that is unnecessary for the enquiry.
Messages may be retained as business correspondence for as long as reasonably necessary to manage the enquiry, a resulting project and applicable legal obligations. You may request deletion when those obligations no longer require retention.
Embedded media and external links
Portfolio videos are delivered through Gumlet, Vimeo or YouTube. Gumlet's video analytics operate without cookies. Vimeo embeds use its Do Not Track setting, and YouTube embeds use privacy-enhanced mode. Loading or playing external media may still send technical information such as your IP address and browser details to the relevant provider.
Links to Instagram, WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook, Comuna and other external websites are governed by the privacy terms of those services after you follow the link.
Your rights
Under applicable data-protection law, you may ask for access, correction, deletion, restriction or portability of your personal data, and you may object where that right applies. Consent can be withdrawn at any time without affecting earlier lawful processing.
Send requests to golovmaxim@gmail.com. You may also lodge a complaint with Portugal's data-protection authority, the Comissão Nacional de Proteção de Dados (CNPD).
