Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 1, 2025

1. Introduction

At BSLT, Lda., we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal information when you visit our website or interact with us.

Our website is hosted on Squarespace, which provides built-in, anonymised analytics and other technical services. This policy explains both the personal information you provide to us directly and the anonymised or pseudonymised data collected automatically by Squarespace.

We comply with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable Portuguese data protection laws.

2. Information We Collect

We only collect the information that is necessary for our legitimate purposes, as described below. We collect the following information:

a) Personal Information You Provide

  • Contact Form: First name and email address when you submit an inquiry.

  • Newsletter Subscription Form: Email address when you subscribe.

We collect and process this information solely to respond to your inquiry or to send newsletters if you have subscribed.

b) Data Collected Automatically

Squarespace, which hosts our website, automatically collects anonymised information about website usage, including:

  • Pages visited and time spent on pages;

  • Device type and browser;

  • Approximate geographic location (country or region);

  • Referring websites or search terms.

This data is aggregated and does not identify individual visitors.

Squarespace’s activity log helps us understand how visitors interact with our website (for example, page views, clicks, and navigation paths). This information is used to improve website performance and is stored anonymously or pseudonymously. It cannot be used to identify individual users.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your personal information for the following purposes:

  • To respond to enquiries submitted via the contact form;

  • To send newsletters and updates to users who have opted in;

We do not sell or share personal data with third parties for marketing purposes. However, if you engage our professional services, we may need to share certain personal information with trusted business partners and relevant government entities, strictly for the purpose of processing your application or fulfilling contractual and legal obligations.

4. Analytics and Performance Data

We collect and analyse aggregated, anonymised data about how visitors use our website. This information is collected automatically through Squarespace and may include:

  • Pages visited and time spent on each page;

  • Device type and browser;

  • Approximate geographic location (country or region);

  • Referring websites or search terms;

  • Interactions such as page views, clicks, and navigation paths.

This data is used solely to understand website usage, improve content and performance, and optimise user experience. Because the data is anonymised or pseudonymised, it cannot be used to identify individual visitors.

5. Legal Basis for Processing

  • Consent: By submitting your data through our contact or newsletter forms, you explicitly consent to its processing for the purposes described above.

  • Legitimate Interest: Using aggregated, anonymised or pseudonymised analytics data to understand website usage and improve its content and performance.

6. Data Sharing

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.

Your personal information may be shared only with service providers who process data on our behalf, such as Squarespace, email providers for newsletters, and only to the extent necessary to provide our services, or fulfil contractual obligations.

Some data collected via our website may be processed by Squarespace in countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Squarespace ensures that such transfers comply with GDPR through approved legal mechanisms, including standard contractual clauses or other safeguards.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as needed to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected or to comply with legal obligations.

If you unsubscribe from the newsletter or request deletion of your data, we will remove it within a reasonable timeframe, in accordance with GDPR requirements.

8. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you;

  • Request correction of inaccurate personal information;

  • Request deletion of your personal information;

  • Request restriction of processing;

  • Request portability of your personal information (where applicable);

  • Withdraw your consent at any time;

  • Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

To exercise your rights, please contact us at info@basalto.fund.

9. Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Squarespace, which processes data on our behalf, also applies security measures to protect this information.

While no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure, we strive to protect your personal information using commercially reasonable measures.

10. Third-Party Services

Some features of our website may include content from third-party services, such as embedded videos, maps, or social media feeds. These services may collect personal information or use cookies. We are not responsible for their privacy practices, so we recommend reviewing their privacy policies for more information.

11. Updates to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.

Changes will not apply retroactively to personal information collected before the update.
