2. Data we process

  • Identity and contact: name, email, phone or WhatsApp, country or area of interest.
  • Enquiry or booking data: division of interest, message, consultation topic, date and time, language.
  • Payment metadata: provider, order and capture identifiers, amount, currency and status. We never store full card credentials.
  • Technical and security data: usage logs, plus values pseudonymised with HMAC-SHA256 derived from IP address and email, used solely to limit form abuse.

We recommend that you do not send sensitive data or confidential documentation through open web forms. We will arrange a suitable channel for that.

3. Purposes and legal bases

  • Responding to your request, enquiry or download (informed consent given in the form).
  • Managing the booking, payment and delivery of the professional service engaged.
  • Complying with applicable legal, professional, tax and due-diligence obligations.
  • Site security, abuse prevention and traceability of consents.
  • Commercial information or follow-up: only if you tick the specific optional box. It is never inferred from another action.

4. Processors and providers

To operate the site and services we rely on providers that may process data on our behalf:

  • Lovable — site hosting and publishing.
  • Supabase — database and authentication.
  • PayPal — international payment processing.
  • The email and WhatsApp channels you choose to communicate with us.

These services may involve international processing of data and operate under their own contractual terms and applicable security measures. FG limits the information shared to what is strictly necessary for each purpose and seeks to select and configure such providers with confidentiality and security criteria in mind.

5. Retention

  • Requests and downloads (leads): 24 months from the last interaction, unless a professional relationship or legal obligation requires longer.
  • Marketing authorisation: until withdrawn.
  • Case files, bookings and payments: as required by applicable legal, professional and anti-money-laundering duties.
  • Form abuse-control hashes: 48 hours maximum.

6. Your rights

You may request access, rectification, deletion, withdrawal of consent and objection to processing where applicable. To protect your information we will reasonably verify your identity before acting on the request.
