Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2, 2026

1. Data controller

The website monteiro.consulting is operated by Valentin Monteiro, Individual Entrepreneur registered in Georgia, acting as data controller for the personal data collected through the website. Contact: valentin@monteiro.consulting. This policy describes the data processed, the purposes pursued, the legal bases and your rights, in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

2. Data collected and purposes

The website processes personal data in the following cases:

Audience measurement — Google Analytics: with your consent (cookie banner), Google Analytics cookies measure site traffic and usage (page views, traffic source, device type). Data processed by Google Ireland Ltd / Google LLC.
Advertising — Google Ads: with your consent, Google advertising cookies are used to measure conversions from our campaigns (for example a booked appointment). No data is sold to third parties.
Cookieless audience measurement — Umami: a self-hosted Umami instance records certain navigation events (IP address, user agent, country) without setting cookies and without cross-site tracking, for aggregated statistics only.
Conversational assistant: the messages you type into the home-page chat are sent to Anthropic (USA) to generate responses. They are not stored by the website and are not used to train Anthropic's models. Avoid entering sensitive data in the chat. Your IP address is used temporarily to prevent abuse (rate limiting), and the Cloudflare Turnstile anti-bot service may be applied.
Appointment booking — Cal.com: if you book a call, the data you provide (name, email address, booking details) is processed by Cal.com Inc. (USA) to organize the appointment.
Hosting — Vercel: the website is hosted by Vercel Inc., 440 N Barranca Ave #4133, Covina, CA 91723, USA. Technical logs (IP address, requests) may be processed to ensure the operation and security of the website.

3. Legal bases

Audience measurement and advertising cookies (Google Analytics, Google Ads) rely on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR), collected through the cookie banner and withdrawable at any time. Cookieless audience measurement, website security (rate limiting, anti-bot) and technical logs rely on the publisher's legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f)). The processing of chat messages and booking data relies on pre-contractual steps taken at your request (Article 6(1)(b)).

4. Cookies

On your first visit, a banner lets you accept or decline cookies by category: necessary (storing your consent choice, always active), analytics (Google Analytics) and marketing (Google Ads). No analytics or advertising cookie is set without your consent (Google Consent Mode v2, denied by default). You can withdraw or change your consent at any time:

5. Data retention

Google Analytics audience data is retained for a maximum of 14 months. Umami statistics are stored as pseudonymized events for as long as necessary to analyze site audience. Booking data is kept for the duration of the pre-contractual or contractual relationship. Your consent choice is stored locally in your browser until you change or delete it.

6. Transfers outside the European Union

Some service providers are located in the United States (Google, Vercel, Anthropic, Cal.com, Cloudflare). These transfers are governed by mechanisms recognized under European regulations, in particular the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and/or the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.

7. Your rights (GDPR)

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

Right of access: obtain a copy of your personal data
Right to rectification: correct inaccurate data
Right to erasure: request deletion of your data
Right to restriction: limit the processing of your data
Right to data portability: receive your data in a structured format
Right to object: oppose the processing of your data
Right to withdraw your consent at any time (via the "Manage my cookies" button above)

To exercise these rights, contact me by email at valentin@monteiro.consulting. I will respond within one month. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, such as the CNIL (cnil.fr) if you reside in France.
