Privacy Policy

Who is responsible

This website is operated by Alejandro Morales under the artistic name Ali Capa Foto, from Portugal. For questions about this policy or personal information handled directly by Ali Capa Foto, contact alicapafoto@gmail.com.

Information collected

The website does not use its own account system, contact form, advertising tracker, or analytics service. Ali Capa Foto may receive personal information when you:

• send an email, including your name, email address, message, and any information you choose to include;
• make a one-time contribution through Stripe, including limited transaction, contact, and payment-status information made available to the account holder;
• follow an external link to Patreon, Instagram, LinkedIn, Stripe, or another third-party service.

Ali Capa Foto does not receive or store your complete card number or card security code.

Hosting and external services

GitHub Pages

The site is hosted by GitHub Pages. GitHub states that visitors’ IP addresses are logged and stored for security purposes. GitHub handles that information under its own privacy terms.

Google Fonts

The site requests typefaces from Google Fonts. When those files are requested, Google may receive technical information such as your IP address, browser details, and the requested resource.

Stripe

One-time contributions are completed on a Stripe-hosted checkout page. Stripe collects and processes payment and identity information under its own privacy policy and legal obligations. Ali Capa Foto receives only the information Stripe makes available for administering the transaction, issuing refunds, keeping records, preventing fraud, and responding to support requests.

External links

Patreon and social-media links take you to services operated by other organisations. Their privacy practices and cookies are governed by their own policies.

Why information is used

Personal information is used only as reasonably necessary to process and administer requested payments, respond to messages, prevent fraud or misuse, maintain accounting and transaction records, and comply with legal obligations. It is not sold to advertisers.

Retention and sharing

Email correspondence is retained only as long as reasonably needed for communication and record-keeping. Transaction records may be kept for the periods required by tax, accounting, fraud-prevention, payment-network, or other legal obligations.

Information may be shared with service providers such as Stripe, GitHub, Google, email providers, professional advisers, or authorities where necessary to operate the site, process payments, protect rights, or comply with law.

Your rights

Depending on applicable law, including the GDPR, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or objection concerning personal information handled directly by Ali Capa Foto. You may also lodge a complaint with the Portuguese data-protection authority or another competent supervisory authority.

To make a request, email alicapafoto@gmail.com. Identity may need to be verified before a request is completed.

This policy may be updated when the website, payment setup, or legal requirements change. The date at the top shows the latest revision.
