Terms of Use

1. Acceptance and scope

By accessing or using this website, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.

These Terms govern the website and its informational, contact and configuration features. They do not replace the terms of a land sale, construction contract, brokerage arrangement or other transaction-specific agreement.

2. Our services and role

São Vicente Investimentos, Lda sells plots of land and provides construction services. Through this website, it also operates an informational and lead-generation platform, supplies non-binding property configuration estimates, provides marketing or consultancy services, and may introduce visitors to independent developers, sellers, agents or other professionals.

The identity and role of the relevant seller, builder, agent or service provider will be stated in the applicable offer or contract. Independent third parties remain responsible for their own services, representations and contractual obligations.

3. Property information and configurator estimates

Website content, property descriptions, availability, dimensions, plans, images, renderings, specifications, construction timelines, taxes, fees and prices are indicative and may change.

Configurator results and emailed summaries are preliminary estimates only. They are not an offer, reservation, guarantee or contract. Availability, title, boundaries, technical feasibility, planning approval, specifications, taxes and final pricing must be verified before any transaction.

No land sale or construction engagement becomes binding until the relevant parties sign a definitive written agreement and satisfy any conditions stated in it.

4. Eligibility and user responsibilities

You must be at least 18 years old to submit an inquiry or use the website in connection with a potential transaction.

You agree to provide accurate, current information and to use the website lawfully. You must not interfere with its operation, attempt unauthorized access, introduce malicious code, scrape it in a disruptive manner, impersonate another person or use its content fraudulently.

5. Inquiries and communications

When you submit a contact or configurator form, São Vicente Investimentos may contact you about your request, send the requested configuration summary, or arrange follow-up concerning land, construction, consultancy or relevant third-party services.

Marketing communications are sent on the basis described in the Privacy Policy. You may withdraw from marketing at any time by contacting us or using an unsubscribe method provided in the message.

6. Intellectual property

The website and its branding, text, designs, photographs, renderings, plans, videos, software and other materials are owned by or licensed to São Vicente Investimentos or the relevant rights holder. They are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

You may view and download materials for personal, non-commercial evaluation of our services. You may not reproduce, modify, distribute, sell, publish or commercially exploit them without prior written permission from the rights holder.

7. Third-party services and links

The website may include maps, links, content or services supplied by third parties. Their availability, accuracy and data practices are controlled by those providers. A link or introduction does not, by itself, mean that São Vicente Investimentos guarantees or accepts responsibility for an independent provider.

8. Website availability and liability

We aim to keep the website accurate, secure and available, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access or that every item is complete, current or error-free.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, São Vicente Investimentos is not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising solely from use of, or inability to use, this website or reliance on preliminary website information. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including mandatory consumer rights or liability for fraud, wilful misconduct, gross negligence, death or personal injury where applicable.

9. Changes and suspension

We may update, restrict, suspend or discontinue website content or features and may revise these Terms. The effective date at the top of this page identifies the current version. Material changes will be communicated where required by law.

10. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of Cabo Verde. Subject to any mandatory consumer-jurisdiction rights, disputes concerning the website fall within the jurisdiction of the competent courts of São Vicente, Cabo Verde.

Before starting formal proceedings, you are encouraged to contact us so that we can try to resolve the matter.

Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how São Vicente Investimentos, Lda processes personal data as the controller of this website. It also applies GDPR standards where they protect visitors in the European Economic Area.

1. Personal data we collect

Depending on how you use the website, we may process:

  • Contact data: name, email address, optional telephone number and message content.
  • Configurator and inquiry data: selected island, plot, house, finishes, optional features, estimated price, preferred language, consent choices, submission reference and timestamp.
  • Communications: correspondence, requested documents, follow-up notes and records needed to handle your inquiry.
  • Technical and usage data: IP address, device and browser details, approximate location derived from technical data, pages and features used, referral information, events, errors and session identifiers.
  • Anti-abuse data: reCAPTCHA token, risk score, expected action, hostname and IP address where available, used to assess whether a contact-form submission is legitimate.
  • Session-replay data: interactions such as clicks, navigation and rendered page state. Form fields may be masked according to the analytics configuration, but you should not enter sensitive personal data into free-text fields.
  • Browser storage: language preference and, after a configurator submission, name and email cookies used to prefill the form on a later visit.

2. Sources of data

We receive data directly from you, automatically from your browser or device, from analytics and hosting systems, and—where relevant—from an independent professional involved in responding to your inquiry.

3. Purposes and legal bases

We process personal data for the following purposes and legal bases:

  • To answer inquiries, prepare estimates, provide requested PDFs and take steps toward a possible land sale, construction or service contract: performance of a contract or steps requested before entering one.
  • To operate, secure and troubleshoot the website, prevent abuse, preserve evidence and improve our services: our legitimate interests in running a safe and effective business, balanced against your rights.
  • To assess contact-form submissions with Google reCAPTCHA and prevent spam or automated abuse: our legitimate interests in protecting the website and communications channels.
  • To measure website use, capture product events, diagnose errors and review sessions: consent where applicable law requires it, or legitimate interests where such processing is permitted without consent.
  • To send newsletters or other promotional communications: your consent, where required. You may withdraw it at any time without affecting earlier lawful processing.
  • To keep transaction, tax, compliance and dispute records: compliance with legal obligations and our legitimate interests in establishing, exercising or defending legal claims.

4. Analytics and session recording notice

The website uses PostHog for analytics, event measurement, error reporting and session recording. PostHog may use cookies or similar identifiers and receive technical usage data through a first-party proxy on our domain.

Analytics and session recording may currently initialize when the website loads. Where local law requires prior consent for non-essential tracking, this policy does not itself constitute that consent. You can use browser privacy controls, blocking tools or cookie deletion to limit this processing, although some controls may affect website functionality.

5. Recipients and service providers

We disclose data only as reasonably necessary to:

  • São Vicente Investimentos personnel and authorized collaborators who handle inquiries and services.
  • Google, for storage of configurator leads in Google Sheets.
  • Resend, for delivery of contact messages, configuration PDFs and related email.
  • Google reCAPTCHA, for automated risk analysis and protection of the contact form against spam and abuse.
  • PostHog, for analytics, product events, exception reporting and session replay.
  • MapTiler and OpenStreetMap-related map infrastructure, which may receive technical request data when maps load.
  • Independent developers, sellers, agents, consultants or professionals when an introduction is requested or necessary to handle your inquiry. We will identify their role where appropriate.
  • Authorities, courts, advisers, insurers, purchasers or successors where required by law or reasonably necessary for compliance, claims, professional advice or a legitimate business reorganization.

6. International transfers

We operate from Cabo Verde and use providers that may process data in other countries. This can involve transfers outside your country or the European Economic Area.

Where required, we rely on an adequacy decision, contractual protections such as standard contractual clauses, or another lawful transfer mechanism. Provider locations and safeguards may depend on the account region and infrastructure used at the time of processing.

7. Retention

We may retain data longer when required by law, a legal hold or an active dispute. Data may remain for a limited additional period in protected backups.

  • Configurator leads and related pre-contractual inquiries: normally up to 24 months after the last meaningful interaction.
  • Ordinary contact-form messages that do not progress to a configurator or transaction: normally up to 12 months after resolution.
  • Marketing data: until consent is withdrawn or after 24 months of inactivity, unless a shorter period is required.
  • Contracts, payments, tax, compliance and dispute records: for the applicable statutory period or as needed for legal claims.
  • Analytics, error and session-replay data: according to the retention period configured with the provider and no longer than reasonably necessary for the stated purpose.
  • Browser cookies and local storage: for the periods shown in the Cookie Policy below.

8. Your privacy rights

Subject to applicable law, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability or objection to processing. You may withdraw consent at any time and object to direct marketing without giving a reason.

To exercise a right, email [email protected]. We may need to verify your identity. You may complain to the Comissão Nacional de Proteção de Dados of Cabo Verde or, where GDPR applies, the supervisory authority in your habitual residence, workplace or place of the alleged infringement. In Italy, this is the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali.

9. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures intended to protect personal data. No internet transmission or storage system is completely secure, so absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

10. Automated decisions and minors

We do not use the information submitted through the website to make solely automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects. The configurator performs automated calculations, but its output is a non-binding estimate.

The website and its inquiry services are intended for adults aged 18 or over. We do not knowingly collect data from children through these services.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy to reflect legal, operational or technical changes. The effective date identifies the current version. We will provide additional notice of material changes where required.

Your controls

You can delete or block cookies and local storage through your browser. Blocking preference or functionality storage may prevent language and form-prefill features from working as expected.

The website does not currently provide a separate cookie-preference panel. Browser privacy settings, tracking protection and content-blocking tools can be used to limit non-essential analytics storage.
