Privacy Policy

Nazaré Big Waves is an Oeste Surf editorial project at nazarebigwaves.live. This policy covers information handled through this website. Other websites, including linked Oeste Surf pages, have their own privacy information.

For questions about your personal data or to exercise your rights, contact Oeste Surf at contact@oestesurf.com.

When you browse

You can read the site without creating an account. Delivering pages involves processing connection information such as your IP address, browser details and requested URL. Hosting and security services may record this information to operate the site, diagnose errors and respond to abuse.

When you contact us

If you send an email, we receive your email address, the message and any information you choose to include. We use this to answer your request and manage the exchange. Please send only the information needed for your enquiry.

When you allow analytics

Google Analytics helps us understand which pages and features people use. It can measure page visits, language, device and browser categories, and interactions with forecasts and sharing controls. Our custom analytics events do not include the content of your messages or form fields.

Optional analytics cookies and the site’s own analytics events rely on your consent. Operating and protecting the website, and answering enquiries, serve our legitimate interests in providing a reliable service and responding to visitors, subject to your rights.

Your analytics choice is remembered in your browser. You can accept or reject optional analytics and revisit that decision using Cookie settings, available here and in the footer. Rejecting analytics does not prevent you from reading the site.

When you accept, Google Analytics may use cookies named _ga and _ga_… to distinguish visits and maintain session information. Advertising storage and advertising personalisation remain disabled in the site’s consent settings.

The current setup uses Google’s advanced consent mode. The Google tag can load before you make a choice and send limited signals without analytics cookies. Rejecting cookies therefore does not mean that no connection to Google occurs. Google explains how consent mode works.

Withdrawing consent stops the site’s consent-based analytics events and attempts to remove accessible Google Analytics cookies. It does not undo earlier processing. Browser storage also remembers preferences and may cache pages for offline access; you can clear it through your browser settings.

Hosting, security, email and analytics providers process information as needed to provide their services. Google provides the analytics service. Its Privacy Policy and Analytics data safeguards explain its handling of data, including international processing.

Camera imagery and other media may be delivered by an external provider. Loading that content can disclose connection information to that provider. Following an external link takes you to a service governed by its own privacy policy.

Some providers may process information outside your country, including outside the European Economic Area. Contact us for details of the providers and transfer arrangements applicable to your information.

Your consent preference stays in browser storage until it is replaced, cleared by you or removed by your browser. Clearing site data removes that saved choice on that device.

Correspondence is retained for the time needed to answer and manage your request, and to meet any applicable legal obligations. Analytics data and security logs are subject to the relevant service settings and operational requirements. Contact us for the current retention details or to request deletion where applicable.

Where applicable under data protection law, you can request access to your personal data, correction or deletion, restriction of processing, or a portable copy. You can object to processing based on legitimate interests and withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of earlier consent-based processing.

Email contact@oestesurf.com with enough detail to identify your request. We may need proportionate information to verify your identity before disclosing personal data.

You may also complain to a data protection authority. In Portugal, this is the Comissão Nacional de Proteção de Dados (CNPD). You can also contact the authority in your place of residence, work or the alleged infringement.

This policy may change as the website or its services develop. The date above identifies the latest revision. If a change requires new consent, we will ask for it through the relevant consent control.
