Privacy policy

Last updated: 25 August 2026

This policy explains what Vitarawells does with your personal data, why, and what you can do about it. It is written to meet the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) and Portuguese Law 58/2019.

1. Who is responsible for your data

The data controller is:

Raquel Filipa Rodrigues Canuto, sole trader (empresária em nome individual)
R. de Espinho 59, 3810-193 Aveiro, Portugal
Portuguese tax number (NIF): 298318970
Telephone: +351 915 219 886 (national landline rate, Monday to Friday, 09:00 to 18:00 Lisbon time)
Email: support@vitarawells.com

For anything about your data, write to privacy@vitarawells.com. We are not required to appoint a data protection officer, so that address reaches the controller directly.

2. What we collect

2.1 Data you give us

  • Account details: name, email address, WhatsApp number.
  • Health and wellbeing data: your intake answers and daily check-ins, including sleep duration and quality, stress, energy, mood, movement, steps, habits, and any notes you write. Under Article 9 GDPR this is a special category of data.
  • Coaching conversations: the questions you ask the coach and the answers it gives.
  • Messages you send us: contact form submissions, support emails, WhatsApp replies.

2.2 Data we receive from Stripe

  • Your name, email, billing country, telephone number, subscription status, and the last four digits and brand of your card. We never receive or store your full card number.

2.3 Data collected automatically

  • A session cookie so you stay signed in, and your cookie choice.
  • Server logs kept by our hosting provider, including IP address, browser type and the pages requested. These exist for security and troubleshooting.

We do not run advertising trackers, and we do not buy personal data from third parties.

3. Why we process it, and on what legal basis

PurposeLegal basis
Creating your account, sending your access link, running the platformPerformance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b))
Building your plan, your score and your reports from health data you logYour explicit consent (Art. 9(2)(a)), given when you complete the intake
Taking payment, preventing fraud, keeping invoicesContract and legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(b) and (c))
Answering support requests and complaintsContract and legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(b) and (f))
Keeping the service secure and availableLegitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f))
Product emails or messages you have asked forConsent (Art. 6(1)(a))

You can withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawing consent for health data means we can no longer build plans or reports, so the paid part of the service stops working; it does not affect processing carried out before the withdrawal.

4. Automated processing

Your plan, your score and your coaching answers are generated automatically from what you log. This is not profiling that produces legal effects or similarly significantly affects you, and no decision about you is taken solely by automated means. You can always ask a human: support@vitarawells.com.

5. Who we share it with

We use a small number of processors, each under a data processing agreement. We do not sell personal data, ever, and we do not share health data with advertisers.

ProcessorWhat it doesWhere
Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd.Payments, subscriptions, invoicesIreland, with transfers to the United States

Anthropic PBCGenerating coaching answers, when the AI coach is enabledUnited States

We may also disclose data where the law requires it, or to establish or defend a legal claim.

6. Transfers outside the European Economic Area

Where a processor is outside the EEA, transfers are covered by the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses together with additional safeguards, or by an adequacy decision where one applies. You can ask us for a copy of the safeguards used.

7. How long we keep it

  • Account and health data: while your account is active, and for 30 days after you delete it, after which it is erased.
  • Invoices and tax records: 10 years, as Portuguese tax law requires.
  • Support correspondence: 3 years.
  • Server logs: up to 12 months.

8. Your rights

You have the right to access your data, to have it corrected, to have it erased, to restrict or object to processing, to receive it in a portable format, and to withdraw consent. Write to privacy@vitarawells.com and we answer within one month. We may ask you to confirm your identity first. Exercising these rights is free.

If you think we have handled your data badly, please tell us so we can fix it. You also have the right to complain to the Portuguese supervisory authority, Comissão Nacional de Proteção de Dados (CNPD), Av. D. Carlos I, 134, 1.º, 1200-651 Lisboa, cnpd.pt, or to the authority in the country where you live.

9. Security

Traffic is encrypted in transit with TLS. Passwords are stored as salted scrypt hashes and are never readable by us. Access to production data is limited to the controller. We keep the number of people and systems touching health data as small as possible. If a breach ever puts your rights at risk, we notify the CNPD within 72 hours and tell you without undue delay.

10. Children

Vitarawells is for adults. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has created an account, write to privacy@vitarawells.com and we will delete it.

11. Cookies

See the cookie policy for what we store in your browser and how to change your choice.

12. Changes

If this policy changes materially we tell you before the change takes effect. The date at the top of the page shows the current version.
