Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 12, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Dulceria collects and uses your personal information. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data responsibly. We want you to understand what information we gather, how we use it, and what rights you have regarding your personal data.

Information We Collect

We collect information in various ways to provide you with the best experience possible. When you register for our events, workshops, or literary discussions, we gather your name, email address, phone number, and information about your reading interests. We also collect data about how you interact with our website, including pages visited, time spent, and features used. Additionally, we may collect demographic information such as your age range and location within Portugal to help us tailor our content and events to our audience.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to provide, maintain, and improve our services. Your data helps us organize and promote our monthly reading discussions, author meet-and-greet events, creative writing workshops, and library lecture series. We use your contact information to send you event updates, registration confirmations, and information about upcoming literary gatherings. We also analyze usage patterns to enhance our website and better understand what content and events interest our community of readers and writers.

Your Rights and Choices

You have the right to access, update, and delete your personal information at any time. You may request a copy of the data we hold about you or ask us to correct any inaccuracies. If you wish to unsubscribe from our event announcements and communications, you can do so by contacting us directly. We will not share your personal information with third parties without your explicit consent, except as required by law. You have the right to withdraw consent for data processing at any time, though this may limit your ability to participate in certain events and services.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience and gather analytics about website usage. These cookies help us remember your preferences, keep you logged in during your session, and understand how visitors use our site. You can control cookie settings through your browser preferences. Some cookies are essential for our website to function properly, while others are optional and help us improve your experience. We do not use cookies to track you across other websites or share cookie data with third parties for marketing purposes.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. We use secure encryption protocols for transmitting sensitive data and maintain strict access controls over our databases. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. We encourage you to use strong passwords and notify us immediately if you suspect any unauthorized access to your account.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to provide our services and fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy. Event registration information is kept for the duration of your participation and for a reasonable period afterward to handle inquiries and maintain event records. If you request deletion of your account, we will remove your information within thirty days, except where we are required by law to retain certain data. We do not retain payment information longer than necessary for transaction processing and accounting purposes.

Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. When we make material changes, we will notify you by updating the last updated date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, by sending you an email notification. Your continued use of our website following the posting of revised privacy terms means you accept and agree to the changes. We encourage you to review this policy regularly to stay informed about how we protect your information.
