Privacy & Cookies

Last updated: 10 September 2026

The short version This site doesn't use tracking or advertising cookies, doesn't run analytics, and doesn't store the personal data you submit in any database of its own. The only reason it asks for your email is so a real reply can reach you.

Who's responsible for your data

This site is run by Gabriel Carlos, an individual based in London, United Kingdom. For anything on this page, contact gabgabrielgab@gmail.com.

What personal data this site collects

The only personal data collected is what you choose to submit through one of the two forms on the site:

Nothing is collected automatically. There's no analytics script, no advertising pixel, and no fingerprinting on this site.

Why, and on what legal basis

Data submitted through the forms is used only to respond to you — to reply to an enquiry, or to send a requested download. This relies on legitimate interest in responding to messages sent directly to Gabriel (UK GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)), or, where a contract discussion follows, on steps taken at your request prior to entering a contract (Art. 6(1)(b)). It is never used for marketing, profiling, or sold or rented to anyone.

Who your data is shared with

This site has no server or database of its own — form submissions are delivered by two third-party services acting as data processors:

Both may process data on servers outside the UK/EEA. Beyond that, your message simply arrives as an email in Gabriel's own inbox — it isn't copied anywhere else.

How long data is kept

This site doesn't retain anything itself — there's nothing here to delete a record from. Emails that reach Gabriel's inbox are kept only as long as needed to handle your enquiry, then deleted at his discretion, subject to his own email provider's standard retention.

Cookies and local storage

This site does not set any cookies. It does use one small piece of local storage in your browser — a flag remembering that you've seen the privacy notice banner, so it doesn't reappear on every visit. That flag stays on your device, is never sent anywhere, doesn't identify you, and isn't used for tracking. Under UK/EU rules this counts as "strictly necessary" and doesn't require consent — but you're free to clear it any time via your browser's site data settings, and the notice will simply reappear.

If that ever changes — for example, if analytics are added later — this page and the notice banner will be updated first, and any non-essential cookie will only be set after you actively agree to it.

Your rights

Under UK and EU GDPR, you have the right to:

To exercise any of these, email gabgabrielgab@gmail.com directly.

Children

This site is a professional portfolio and isn't directed at children. It doesn't knowingly collect data from anyone under 16.

Changes to this page

This policy may be updated as the site changes. Material changes — anything that changes what's collected or why — will be reflected here with an updated date at the top.
