Effective Date: 21/04/2026

Your privacy is important to me. I am Cristina Chaplin-Rueda, a UX designer based in Barcelona, and I am the sole operator of this website. This policy explains what data I collect, why I collect it, and how I protect it when you visit my portfolio.

I collect only the minimum data necessary to provide you with a good experience:

• Automated Data: When you visit, my hosting provider automatically records standard log information (IP address, browser type, time of visit, and pages viewed). This is used solely to analyse traffic trends and ensure site security. It is not linked to your personal identity.
• Voluntary Data: If you contact me via email or a contact form, I collect the information you provide (name, email address, and message content). I only use this to respond to your inquiry.

I use your data for the following purposes:

• To maintain and improve the website.
• To respond to your professional inquiries or collaboration requests.
• To send occasional updates only if you have explicitly opted in (you can unsubscribe at any time).

I do not sell, trade, or rent your personal data.
I share data only with trusted third-party services essential to running this website:

• Hosting: My site is hosted by Infomaniak in Switzerland, which complies with strict European data protection standards.
• Analytics: I may use anonymized analytics tools to understand how visitors use my site. No personally identifiable information is shared with these services.
• Legal Requirements: I will only disclose data if required by law.

As a visitor in the EU/UK, you have full control over your data. You have the right to:

• Access: Ask what data I hold about you.
• Correct: Request corrections to any inaccurate data.
• Delete: Ask me to delete your data ("Right to be Forgotten").
• Withdraw Consent: Stop me from processing your data at any time.

To exercise these rights, simply email me at cristina@chaplin-rueda.com. I will respond within 30 days.

This site uses essential cookies to function correctly (e.g., to remember your preferences). If I use any non-essential cookies (such as for analytics), I will ask for your consent via a banner when you first visit. You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time.

I retain your personal data only as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected (e.g., keeping your email until our conversation is concluded). My site uses HTTPS encryption, and all data is stored on secure servers in Switzerland.

My portfolio contains links to external projects (e.g., live prototypes on Figma, LinkedIn, GitHub). These sites have their own privacy policies, and I am not responsible for their practices.

I may update this policy occasionally. Any changes will be posted on this page with a new effective date.

If you have any questions about this policy or your data, please contact me directly:
