COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES
The Fashion Issue may use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for the operation, security and functionality of the website.

EMBEDDED CONTENT AND THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
Articles and pages on The Fashion Issue may contain embedded content or links from third-party websites, including videos, images, social-media content and other external services. Embedded content may behave in the same way as if you had visited the third-party website directly.

The Fashion Issue is not responsible for the privacy practices of independent third-party websites or services.
HOW WE SHARE INFORMATION
We do not sell your personal information.

INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS
Some service providers used by The Fashion Issue may process information outside Portugal or the European Economic Area. Where personal data is transferred internationally, appropriate safeguards will be used where required by applicable data-protection law.
HOW LONG WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including responding to enquiries, maintaining appropriate business records and satisfying legal, accounting or regulatory requirements. Retention periods may therefore vary depending on the nature of the information and our legal obligations.
