2. General Information

The protection of your personal data is taken seriously. This privacy policy describes what data may be processed when you visit charifyt.com and how it is used. We comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR / EU 2016/679) and applicable Portuguese data-protection law.

3. Data Processing on this Website

This is the Charifyt teaser/waitlist page. It is hosted on our own server infrastructure at Hetzner Online GmbH (Germany), operated via Coolify (nginx). When you access this website, the web server may automatically process server log files transmitted by your browser. This may include: IP address (potentially personally identifiable), browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, date and time of the request.

This processing is based on our legitimate interest in the stable and secure operation of the website infrastructure (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Connections are encrypted via SSL/TLS (Let's Encrypt).

We do NOT use analytics tools, advertising networks, tracking pixels, or third-party cookies on this website. Web fonts are self-hosted; no third-party font requests are made.

4. Waitlist Sign-up

When you enter your email address to join our waitlist, we process it to keep you informed about the launch of Charifyt and related product updates.

• Data processed: your email address, plus the date, time and IP address of your sign-up as proof of consent.
• Purpose: sending you the launch announcement and the product updates you requested.
• Legal basis: your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). We use a double opt-in procedure — you receive a confirmation email, and your address is only added to our list after you confirm.
• Processor: We use Brevo, operated by Sendinblue SAS (France, EU), to manage our mailing list and send these emails. Brevo processes your data on our behalf within the EU under a data processing agreement (Art. 28 GDPR) and may record whether emails are opened or links are clicked, to help us improve our communications.
• Withdrawal: You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future — every email contains an unsubscribe link, or you can contact us at hello@charifyt.com. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
• Retention: We store your email address until you unsubscribe or withdraw your consent.

5. Hosting

Hosting provider: Hetzner Online GmbH, Germany, acting as a processor on our behalf. A data processing agreement (Art. 28 GDPR) applies.

6. Retention

We do not retain personal data ourselves beyond what is technically unavoidable for page delivery. Server log data is kept only as long as necessary for secure operation and is then deleted or anonymised.

7. Your Rights under the GDPR

You have the following rights with regard to your personal data: right of access (Art. 15), right to rectification (Art. 16), right to erasure (Art. 17), right to restriction of processing (Art. 18), right to data portability (Art. 20), right to object (Art. 21), and the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Art. 77). To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at hello@charifyt.com.

8. Supervisory Authority

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. The lead authority for the operator is the Portuguese authority: CNPD — Comissao Nacional de Protecao de Dados (www.cnpd.pt). If you reside in another EU/EEA country, you may also contact your local supervisory authority.

9. Changes to this Policy

We reserve the right to update this privacy policy at any time to reflect changes in legal requirements or the structure of this website. The current version is always available at this URL.
