Who controls the data

Spare Beam is the controller of personal data collected through sparebeam.online. Requests relating to personal data are handled by email at [email protected].

What is collected

Correspondence

The email address a message is sent from, together with the content of that message and any information included voluntarily.

Purchase records

Where material is bought, payment is processed by a third-party payment provider. Spare Beam receives the transaction record, the billing email address and the status of the payment. Full card numbers are never received or stored by Spare Beam.

Technical data

Standard information generated by a web request, including IP address, approximate location derived from it, browser and device type, pages requested, and the referring address.

Analytics and advertising technologies

This site uses analytics tools and advertising measurement technologies, including tags supplied by advertising platforms, to understand how pages are reached and how advertising performs. These technologies set identifiers in the browser and may transmit event data to the platforms concerned, which act as independent controllers under their own policies.

Legal bases

Under the Brazilian General Data Protection Law (Law 13,709/2018), processing relies on consent, on the performance of a contract, on compliance with a legal obligation, and on legitimate interests, according to the purpose in question. Under the EU General Data Protection Regulation, the corresponding bases are Article 6(1)(a), 6(1)(b), 6(1)(c) and 6(1)(f). Analytics and advertising technologies that are not strictly necessary rely on consent where consent is required by the applicable law.

Purposes

• Answering correspondence and providing access to material that has been bought.
• Processing payments, refunds and payment disputes.
• Keeping the records required by tax and commercial law.
• Measuring how the site is used and how advertising performs.
• Protecting the site against abuse and fraudulent access.

Retention

Correspondence is kept for up to two years from the last message unless a longer period is required for a dispute or a legal obligation. Transaction records are kept for the period required by Brazilian tax and commercial legislation, which is generally five years. Technical and analytics data is kept in identifiable form for up to fourteen months and in aggregate form thereafter.

Sharing

Personal data is shared only with the service providers required to run the site and the business: hosting and content delivery, email delivery, payment processing, and analytics and advertising platforms. Data is not sold. It is disclosed to an authority only where a legal obligation or a valid legal process requires it.

International transfer

Servers and service providers used by this site are located outside Brazil and may be located outside the European Economic Area. Transfers are made on the bases permitted by Article 33 of the Brazilian General Data Protection Law and by Chapter V of the General Data Protection Regulation.

Rights

Data subjects have the rights set out in Article 18 of the Brazilian General Data Protection Law and in Articles 15 to 22 of the General Data Protection Regulation, including confirmation of processing, access, correction, anonymisation, blocking or deletion of unnecessary data, portability, information about sharing, withdrawal of consent, and objection to processing based on legitimate interests.

Requests are made by email to [email protected] and are answered within the time limits set by the applicable law. Complaints may be lodged with the Autoridade Nacional de Proteção de Dados (ANPD) in Brazil or with a supervisory authority in the European Economic Area.

Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies and comparable browser storage are used for basic site function, for analytics and for advertising measurement. Browser settings can be used to block or delete cookies, and advertising platforms provide their own controls for interest-based advertising.
