4. How we collect your data
We collect data in three main ways:
- Directly from you when you complete a distributor application, contact us or reply to our team.
- Automatically when you use the website, through server logs and, only where required consent has been given, analytics or marketing technologies.
- From service providers that help us host the website, process forms, manage CRM records, measure campaigns or deliver communications.
5. Why we use your data and our legal bases

6. Distributor applications and automated routing
The application flow may use simple rules based on information you provide, including annual revenue range, to route the application, assign an application status or help our team prioritize review.
These rules are used for application administration and lead qualification. They are not intended to make solely automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects on you. RickiParodi may review applications manually and may contact applicants for further information.
7. Cookies and similar technologies
We use necessary storage to make the website work and to remember your privacy choices. Optional analytics and marketing technologies are disabled until you choose to allow them.
| Category | What it does | Examples on this B2B site | Consent |
|---|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Core functionality, security and storing your cookie choice. | First-party consent preference stored under rp_cookie_consent_v1; language and country preferences stored locally in your browser; security and form-processing functions. | Always active where strictly necessary. |
| Analytics | Helps us understand traffic, usage and website performance. | Google measurement or analytics tags deployed through Google Tag Manager where configured. | Off until you give Analytics consent. |
| Marketing | Campaign measurement, advertising attribution. | Meta Pixel and Google advertising tags where configured. | Off until you give Marketing consent. |
Google Consent Mode is initialized with analytics and advertising storage denied. When you save a choice, the website updates the consent state so tags configured to respect that state can act accordingly.
The exact names and lifetimes of third-party cookies can change when providers update their technology. Their current privacy information is available from the provider links in section 8 below.
8. Service providers and recipients
We may use trusted service providers to process personal data on our behalf or to provide website functionality. Depending on the page and the technologies currently enabled, these may include:
- HighLevel / LeadConnector for distributor application processing, CRM, automation and communications.
- Google for Google Tag Manager and, where configured and consented, analytics or advertising measurement.
- Meta for advertising measurement through Meta Pixel where marketing consent has been given.
- Hosting, CDN, email, phone and messaging providers used to operate the site and respond to applications.
- Professional advisers, regulators or public authorities where disclosure is required by law or reasonably necessary to protect legal rights.
We do not sell personal data. We do not give application data to unrelated third parties for their own independent marketing without an appropriate lawful basis.
9. International data transfers
Some technology providers may process data outside Portugal or the European Economic Area. Where personal data is transferred internationally, we use or require an appropriate lawful transfer mechanism where required, such as an adequacy decision, Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission or another valid safeguard under applicable data-protection law.
10. How long we keep data
We keep personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. Retention is determined using criteria such as:
- the time needed to review and follow up on a distributor application;
- whether a commercial relationship is created or remains active;
- the period needed to manage communications or marketing preferences;
- applicable accounting, tax, regulatory or record-keeping requirements;
- the need to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; and
- whether you validly request deletion earlier.
Cookie consent preferences are stored in your browser until you change them, clear browser storage or the consent system is replaced with a new version.
11. How we protect your data
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against accidental loss, unauthorised access, misuse, alteration or disclosure. These measures may include encrypted transmission, access controls, limited internal access and the use of established service providers.
No internet-based service can guarantee absolute security. If a personal-data breach occurs, we will assess and handle it in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
12. Marketing communications
If you separately agree to receive marketing communications, we may use your contact details to send information about RickiParodi products, distributor opportunities or related commercial updates. You may withdraw marketing consent at any time by using an unsubscribe method in the message or by contacting us.
Withdrawing marketing consent does not affect our ability to contact you about an active distributor application where another lawful basis applies.
13. Your GDPR rights
Subject to the conditions in applicable law, you may have the right to:
- access the personal data we hold about you;
- correct inaccurate or incomplete data;

- receive certain data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format and request portability;
- withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent; and
