4. Contact Form

When you fill out the contact form, we collect your name, email, phone number, company (optional), and interest. This information is stored in our secure database and used exclusively to respond to your request, send tourist information about Barreirinhas, and, if authorized, for business contact. Your data is not shared with third parties without your explicit consent.

Submitting the form implies consent to the processing of your data as described in this policy.

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law. When we no longer need your data, we will securely delete or anonymize it.

• Right to Restrict Processing: You can request that we limit the processing of your data.
