For the purposes of data protection law (EU GDPR, Spanish LOPDGDD and, where applicable, UK GDPR for UK visitors), we are the data controller for personal data collected through this website.

What personal data we collect and why

Enquiry data

When you contact us (forms, email, phone) we collect identification data (name, company, phone, email) and project details to respond, provide proposals and manage pre-contractual or contractual relationships. Lawful basis: pre-contract or contract; legitimate interest in responding to professional enquiries.

Client data

If you become a client we process billing data, project documentation, architectural drawings, site photography and contact details to deliver contracted services, manage suppliers and comply with legal obligations (tax, accounting). Lawful bases: contract; legal obligation.

Comments (if enabled)

We collect the data shown in the comment form, your IP address and browser user agent to help spam detection. After approval, the comment and your public avatar (if using Gravatar) appear on the site. Lawful basis: consent (submission) and legitimate interest (spam prevention).

Media uploads

If you upload images, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF). Site visitors could download and extract that location data. Uploading implies consent to display the file publicly if published.

Technical data

We use essential technical cookies and logs (IP, device, browser, pages viewed) to secure the site, prevent abuse and ensure service continuity. Lawful basis: legitimate interest in site security and performance.

Analytics & performance (where consented)

We may use privacy-friendly analytics or Google Analytics with Consent Mode to understand aggregate site usage and improve content. Data is collected only after consent where required. Lawful basis: consent.

Marketing communications (optional)

If you opt in, we may send news, updates or project highlights. You can withdraw consent at any time via unsubscribe links or by contacting us.

Automated decision-making

We do not carry out automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects.

How long we keep data

Enquiries not converted to projects are kept up to 12 months for follow-up unless you ask us to delete sooner.

Client and project records are retained for the duration of the project and then archived to meet professional, contractual and legal record-keeping duties (generally up to 6 years for tax/accounting; architectural records may be retained longer where liability periods apply).

Comments are kept indefinitely unless removed.

Cookies follow the durations listed in the Cookies section.

Who we share data with

Service providers who support our operations (hosting, email delivery, website maintenance, professional IT/security, project collaboration platforms) under data processing agreements.

Professional advisers (tax, legal, accounting) where necessary.

Public authorities when legally required (tax agency, courts, regulatory bodies).

We do not sell personal data.

International transfers

Our website hosting and core services are located in the EU/EEA where possible. Some tools (for example cloud email, backup or analytics providers) may store data outside the EU/EEA. Where this occurs we rely on adequacy decisions, Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent safeguards.

Your data protection rights

You may exercise the following rights (subject to legal limits): access; rectification; erasure; restriction; objection; portability; withdraw consent; complain to a supervisory authority.

Spain: Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (AEPD) www.aepd.es

UK visitors: Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) www.ico.org.uk

To exercise rights, email [email protected] indicating “Data Protection Request” and the right you wish to exercise. We may need proof of identity.

Security

We implement technical and organisational measures appropriate to the risk: encrypted transport (HTTPS), access controls, role-based permissions, secure backups and processor agreements.

Cookies

This website uses cookies and similar technologies. Some are essential to make the site work. Others (analytics, embedded content, maps, social media) require your consent under EU ePrivacy rules.

You can review or change your consent at any time via the Cookie Settings link in the site footer. Refusing non-essential cookies will not affect access to the core content of the site.

Categories of cookies we may use

Strictly necessary

Needed for core site functions, security, form submission. Always active. No consent required.

Preference / functionality

Remember language, layout or user choices. Disabled unless you accept “Preferences”.

Analytics / measurement

Help us understand how the site is used. May include Google Analytics run in Consent Mode. Disabled until consent.

Marketing / third-party

Used by embedded services (YouTube, Vimeo, Google Maps, Meta/Instagram feeds, LinkedIn). These providers may set tracking cookies if you accept Marketing.

Google Consent Mode (v2)

If you grant consent, Google tags (Analytics, Maps, Ads) can collect data in line with your choices. If you refuse analytics/marketing cookies, Consent Mode sends cookieless pings that provide basic, aggregated measurement without storing personal marketing identifiers.

Managing cookies

First visit: You will see a banner asking you to accept, reject or manage categories of cookies.

Change later: Use the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer to adjust your choices.

Browser settings: You can also delete or block cookies through your browser; doing so may affect some site functions.

Do Not Track: We honour consent selections over browser DNT signals (industry standard remains inconsistent).

Third-party embeds

Content from external sites (videos, social feeds, map embeds) behaves as if you visited that external site. Those services may set cookies and collect interaction data. Review their privacy policies (e.g. Google, Meta, LinkedIn, Vimeo).

Children’s data

Our services target professional clients. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a minor has submitted data, contact us and we will remove it.
