Privacy policy

1. Who is responsible

Alexandra Mourato, owner of Navega Portugal, is responsible for the operation of this editorial food guide and for the processing described on this page. Privacy enquiries may be sent to contact.navegaportugal@gmail.com.

2. Data used by the website

The core guide can be used without creating an account. If you choose the “near me” feature, your browser asks for location permission. The coordinates are used in the browser only to identify the nearest place and are not stored by Navega Portugal.

When Google Analytics is enabled, Google processes pseudonymous usage and technical information, such as visited pages, route changes, device and browser information, and referral data, to produce audience and performance reports. Navega Portugal does not send names, email addresses or account identifiers to Analytics.

3. Advertising and Google AdSense

When advertising is enabled, third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies or similar technologies to serve, limit, personalise and measure ads. Google’s advertising cookies allow Google and its partners to serve ads based on visits to this and other websites. Depending on your consent and region, ads may be personalised, non-personalised or limited.

You can manage ad personalisation in Google Ads Settings and learn how Google uses information from partner sites in Google’s partner-sites notice.

4. Legal basis and consent

Analytics and advertising scripts remain blocked until you give consent through the website’s consent interface. You may refuse consent and continue to use the guide, or withdraw a previous choice at any time.

5. Sharing and international transfers

Analytics and advertising data may be processed by Google and by the advertising technology providers listed in the consent interface. Those providers may process data outside your country under the safeguards described in their own policies.

6. Retention and your rights

Analytics retention is configured in the Google Analytics property, while advertising providers determine the retention periods for data they process. Subject to applicable law, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability or object to processing, and may lodge a complaint with your data protection authority.

7. Your choices

You may change or withdraw an analytics or advertising consent decision at any time. Withdrawal does not affect processing already carried out lawfully.

8. Changes

This policy may be updated when the website, advertising partners or legal requirements change. The latest version is always published on this page.
