How We Collect Your Information
- Direct Interactions: You provide data when you contact us, request our services, subscribe to our newsletter, or fill out forms.

Legal Basis for Processing Your Personal Data (Primarily for GDPR & LGPD Compliance)
We will only process your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:
- Consent: Where you have given us explicit consent to process your personal data for a specific purpose (e.g., marketing communications).
- Contractual Necessity: Where processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or to take steps at your request before entering into such a contract (e.g., providing architectural services).
- Legal Obligation: Where processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject (e.g., tax or regulatory reporting).
- Legitimate Interests: Where processing is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests (e.g., improving our services, website security, direct marketing to existing business contacts where permitted). We will identify these legitimate interests and balance them against your rights.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect or receive:
- To provide and maintain our services, including responding to your inquiries and fulfilling your requests.

Disclosure of Your Information
We may share your personal data with:

- With Your Consent: We may disclose your personal information for any other purpose with your explicit consent.
We do not "sell" your personal information in the traditional sense. However, under definitions like the CCPA, some data sharing with third-party analytics or advertising partners might be considered a "sale" or "sharing." Please see the section "Your U.S. Privacy Rights" for more details if you are a California resident.
International Data Transfers
Your information, including personal data, may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction.
- For individuals in the EEA (including Italy) or Brazil: If we transfer your personal data out of the EEA or Brazil to countries not deemed to provide an adequate level of data protection, we will ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission or the Brazilian National Data Protection Authority (ANPD), or other legally recognized transfer mechanisms.
Data Security
We have implemented appropriate administrative, technical, and physical security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered, or disclosed. We limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors, and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Data Retention
We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, the purposes for which we process it, and applicable legal requirements.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to access or store information. Specific information about how we use such technologies and how you can refuse certain cookies is set out in our Cookie Policy [Link to your separate Cookie Policy if you have one, or detail here].
