Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Magín Studios collects, uses and protects personal information when you visit maginstudios.com, apply for a Strategy Session, purchase a service, complete an intake form, book a session or otherwise interact with us.

1. Who is responsible for your data

Magín Studios is operated by Pablo Barrera in Portugal. For the purposes of applicable data protection law, Magín Studios is the controller of the personal data described in this Privacy Policy.

2. Information we collect

Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect information including:

• your name, email address and business information;
• information about your services, offers, clients, marketing, advertising and client acquisition;
• information you provide in application and intake forms;
• booking and appointment information;
• payment and transaction information;
• communications you send to us;
• website usage information, device information, approximate location derived from technical data, referral information and analytics data; and
• campaign parameters such as UTM parameters or advertising click identifiers where applicable.

3. How we use your information

We may use personal information to:

• review Strategy Session applications and determine whether the service appears suitable;
• prepare for and deliver Strategy Sessions and other services;
• process payments and maintain transaction records;
• schedule and manage appointments;
• communicate with applicants, clients and prospective clients;
• understand how our website and client acquisition process perform;
• improve our website, services, messaging and marketing;
• measure advertising and marketing performance where you have provided the required consent;
• protect the security and integrity of our website and services; and
• comply with accounting, tax, legal and regulatory obligations.

4. Legal bases for processing

Where the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies, we process personal data under one or more of the following legal bases:

• Consent, including for optional analytics or advertising technologies where consent is required.
• Steps taken at your request before entering into a contract, such as reviewing an application for a Strategy Session.
• Performance of a contract, including processing needed to provide services you purchase.
• Legal obligations, including accounting, tax and record-keeping requirements.
• Legitimate interests, where appropriate, including operating and securing the business, responding to communications and improving our services, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.

5. Cookies and analytics

We use Cookiebot to manage cookie and tracking preferences.

Necessary technologies may operate without optional consent where they are required for the website to function. Optional analytics or advertising technologies are used according to the consent choices available through our cookie banner.

We currently use Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics to help measure website usage and the performance of our client acquisition journey. Google Consent Mode is used to communicate your consent choices to supported Google services.

You can change or withdraw your cookie preferences at any time using the cookie settings control available on the website.

6. Forms

We use Tally to provide application and intake forms. Information you enter into those forms may be processed by Tally on our behalf so that we can review applications, prepare for sessions and deliver our services.

7. Payments

Payments are processed using Stripe. Stripe processes payment information required to complete the transaction.

Magín Studios may receive transaction information such as your name, email address, payment status, amount and transaction reference. Full payment card details are handled through Stripe's payment systems rather than collected directly through this website.

8. Scheduling

We use Cal.com to schedule Strategy Sessions and other appointments. Information such as your name, email address, selected appointment time and related booking information may be processed through Cal.com for this purpose.

9. Video content

Our website may display video content hosted by YouTube. When you choose to load or play embedded video content, Google or YouTube may receive technical information associated with your interaction with the video player.

10. Advertising

When paid advertising campaigns are active, we may use advertising and conversion-measurement technologies provided by platforms such as Google or Meta.

Where required, these technologies are activated or provided with advertising consent signals according to the choices you make through our consent management system.

11. Service providers

We use third-party providers to operate different parts of the website and service. These may include:

• Google and Firebase for hosting, analytics, tag management and related infrastructure;
• Cookiebot for consent management;
• Tally for forms;
• Stripe for payments;
• Cal.com for appointment scheduling;
• YouTube for video hosting; and
• Meta or Google advertising services when advertising campaigns and associated measurement technologies are in use.

These providers process information according to their respective roles, services and privacy terms.

12. International data transfers

Some service providers may process personal information outside Portugal or outside the European Economic Area. Where required by applicable data protection law, appropriate safeguards are used for international transfers, such as adequacy decisions or contractual safeguards.

13. How long we keep information

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including providing services, managing our relationship with you, evaluating applications, resolving disputes, maintaining security and complying with accounting, tax and legal obligations.

Retention periods may therefore vary depending on the type of information, the nature of our relationship with you and applicable legal requirements.

14. Your rights

Depending on the applicable law, and in particular where the GDPR applies, you may have rights including:

• access to personal data we hold about you;
• correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
• deletion of personal data in certain circumstances;
• restriction of processing in certain circumstances;
• data portability where applicable;
• objection to certain processing;
• withdrawal of consent at any time where processing is based on consent; and
• the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant data protection supervisory authority.

If you are in Portugal, the supervisory authority is the Comissão Nacional de Proteção de Dados (CNPD).

15. Automated decision-making

We do not use solely automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects in relation to Strategy Session applications or service delivery. Applications are reviewed by a person.

16. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information. However, no method of transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

17. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our services, technology providers or legal obligations change. The date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last updated.
