Privacy Policy

Last updated: 1 November 2026

In short: this website does not store your booking form and uses no tracking cookies. When you send a request, it goes directly to Leila through WhatsApp or email and is used only to answer you, give you a quote and, if you book, provide the service.

1. Who is responsible for your data

The data controller is [Leila's full legal name], trading as Drive with Leila, tax number (NIF) [000 000 000], with address at [address, postcode, city], Portugal.

Contact for any privacy question: email or WhatsApp +351 963 499 676.

2. What data we collect

Booking requests

When you use the booking form, you choose to send the following to Leila by WhatsApp or email: your name, email address, mobile number, trip type, cities or route, date and time, last day of the journey, number of passengers, pickup place and any notes you add (for example flight number, luggage or child seats).

The form works entirely in your browser: it prepares the message, and you send it yourself from WhatsApp or your email app. The website does not save or transmit this information to any server of its own.

Conversations and bookings

Messages you exchange with Leila, quotes, booking details and, where applicable, billing information needed to issue an invoice.

Technical data

Like any website, the server that delivers these pages receives technical information such as your IP address, browser type and the pages requested. This is processed by our hosting provider for security and to deliver the website.

  • Email providers — yours and Leila's — if you choose email.
  • Hosting: Vercel Inc., which delivers this website.
  • Accountant, for invoicing, and public authorities when the law requires it.

5. Transfers outside the European Union

Some of these providers may process data outside the European Economic Area, for example in the United States. Where this happens, transfers rely on safeguards recognised by the GDPR, such as the EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework or the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.

6. How long we keep it

  • Requests that do not become a booking: deleted no later than 12 months after the last contact.
  • Booking and invoicing records: kept for the period required by Portuguese tax and accounting law.
  • Server logs: kept by the hosting provider for a short, limited period for security purposes.

7. Your rights

You have the right to access your data, to have it corrected or erased, to restrict or object to its processing, and to data portability. Where processing relies on your consent, you can withdraw it at any time.

To exercise any of these rights, contact Leila by email or WhatsApp. You will receive a reply within one month.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Portuguese data protection authority, the Comissão Nacional de Proteção de Dados (CNPD) — www.cnpd.pt.
