Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 14, 2026.
Autopsias del Deseo is an initiative led by Ariel Pfeffer from Montevideo, Uruguay. This policy explains what personal data is collected through the website, why it is used, how it is protected, and which rights individuals may exercise.
The data controller is Ariel Pfeffer. For privacy questions or requests, contact: hola@arielpfeffer.com.
1. Data we may collect
We may collect:
Identification and contact information, including name, email, country, company, role and LinkedIn profile. Information voluntarily included in an application, such as organization size, approximate revenue, markets, participants, strategic problem, expected outcome, access to data, urgency and investment range. Name and email provided to receive Autopsias del Deseo. Communications sent directly by email. Minimum technical information required for security and operation, such as IP address, browser, device, date, time, pages visited and error logs. A local application draft when a visitor begins but does not complete the form.
We do not intentionally request sensitive personal data. Do not include medical, biometric, ideological, religious, union-related, sexual, criminal or third-party confidential information in the initial form.
2. Purposes
We use data to:
Receive, review and answer applications. Evaluate potential fit for a private Desire Autopsy. Request additional information. Prepare a conversation, proposal or pre-contractual relationship requested by the applicant. Send Autopsias del Deseo when separate consent has been provided. Manage opt-outs and communication preferences. Answer inquiries. Protect the website, prevent abuse and resolve errors. Analyze website performance in aggregate when an analytics tool has been enabled. Comply with legal obligations and retain reasonable evidence of consent or requests.
Application data will not be added to the newsletter unless the applicant expressly selects the separate optional checkbox.
3. AI-assisted evaluation
Artificial intelligence tools may help organize, summarize, translate or prioritize submitted information. They are not authorized to use that information for their own purposes.
Ariel Pfeffer makes the final decision regarding every application. No decision producing legal or similarly significant effects is made solely through automated processing.
Do not submit trade secrets or highly confidential information in the initial application. Such information should only be shared after an appropriate channel and, where relevant, confidentiality arrangements have been agreed.
4. Legal grounds
Depending on the context, processing is based on:
Consent. A request to take steps before a possible engagement. The need to answer a communication initiated by the individual. Legitimate interests relating to security, fraud prevention, administration and website improvement. Compliance with legal obligations. 5. Providers and international processing
Technology providers may be used for hosting, forms, storage, email, security, analytics or AI-assisted processing. They must act under instructions and use the information only to provide their services.
Some providers may process information outside Uruguay. Reasonable safeguards will be applied where required.
Personal data is not sold or disclosed to third parties for their independent marketing purposes.
6. Retention
As a general rule:
Applications that do not lead to an engagement: up to twelve months after the last interaction. Communications related to a possible engagement: up to twenty-four months, unless legal or contractual needs require otherwise. Newsletter subscriptions: until the individual unsubscribes. Minimum suppression record: for as long as needed to prevent unwanted future communications. Technical and security logs: for the period reasonably needed to investigate errors or incidents. Local drafts: no longer than seven days, or until deleted or submitted.
Where an engagement exists, client documentation will also be governed by the applicable agreement.
7. Rights
Individuals may request:
Information about processing. Access to their data. Correction, updating or inclusion. Deletion or blocking where applicable. Withdrawal of consent. Objection to marketing communications. Information about the criteria used in any automated assessment.
Requests should be sent to hola@arielpfeffer.com. Reasonable information may be requested to verify identity. Requests will be answered within legally applicable periods; under Uruguayan law, the general response period for exercising these rights is five business days.
Individuals may also contact or file a complaint with Uruguay’s Personal Data Regulatory and Control Unit.
8. Security
Reasonable measures are applied to prevent unauthorized loss, alteration, access, disclosure or use. No Internet-connected system can guarantee absolute security.
Relevant incidents will be handled in accordance with applicable law.
9. Cookies and local storage
The website may use storage strictly necessary for language preferences, operation, security and temporary form recovery.
Analytics or non-essential cookies should only be activated in accordance with applicable settings and consent requirements. This policy must be updated if additional tracking technologies are introduced.
10. Children
The website and service are intended for adults and organizations. We do not intentionally collect data from individuals under eighteen.
11. Changes
This policy may be updated to reflect operational, technological or legal developments. The current version will be published here with its effective date.
