We collect personal data in various ways when you interact with our Site. “Personal Data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.

3.1. Information You Provide Voluntarily

  • Comments: When you leave comments on the Site, we collect the data shown in the comments form (such as your name and email address), and also your IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection (e.g., via Akismet or similar services). An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture (if you use Gravatar) is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

    Legal Basis: Legitimate interest (to allow user interaction and prevent spam); Consent (for publishing the comment).

This information is used for system administration, to analyze trends, administer the site, track users’ movements around the site, and gather demographic information.

  • Embedded Content from Other Websites: Articles on this Site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

    Legal Basis: Legitimate interest (to provide rich content); subject to the policies of the third-party providers.

  • To understand and analyze how you use our Site (analytics).
  • To develop new products, services, features, and functionality.

5. Sharing Your Personal Data

We do not sell your personal data. We may share your personal data in the following situations:

  • With Service Providers: We may share your personal data with third-party vendors, service providers, contractors, or agents who perform services for us or on our behalf and require access to such information to do that work. Examples include: web hosting, data analysis (e.g., Google Analytics), email delivery (e.g., for newsletters), spam detection (e.g., Akismet), cookie consent management, and customer service. These service providers are contractually obligated to protect your data and can only use it for the purposes for which we disclose it to them.
  • With Affiliate Networks/Partners: When you engage with our affiliate links, certain information (often cookie-based and potentially pseudonymized) may be shared with affiliate networks or merchants to track referrals and calculate commissions. This is essential for the monetization of our Site. Please refer to their privacy policies for more details.
  • For Legal Reasons: We may disclose your personal data if we are required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency), to protect our rights, property, or safety, or the rights, property, or safety of others.
  • In Connection with Business Transfers: If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, asset sale, or other business reorganization, your personal data may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you before your personal data is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
  • With Your Consent: We may disclose your personal data for any other purpose with your explicit consent.

6. International Data Transfers

Your information, including personal data, may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction (e.g., if we use service providers based in the USA).

If you are located within the European Economic Area (EEA), we will ensure that any transfer of your personal data to countries outside the EEA is protected by appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, an adequacy decision by the European Commission, or by ensuring the recipient is certified under a relevant framework (e.g., EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, where applicable and valid). We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

7. Data Retention

We will retain your personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We will retain and use your personal data to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies.

  • Comments: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue. You can request the deletion of your comments.
  • Contact Form Submissions: We may keep contact form submissions for a certain period for customer service purposes, but we do not use the information submitted through them for marketing purposes unless you explicitly consent.
  • Analytics Data: Data collected for analytics purposes (e.g., via Google Analytics) is typically retained for a set period (e.g., 14, 26, 38, or 50 months, or indefinitely based on settings, with options for automatic deletion of user-level data). We aim to use retention periods that are appropriate for analyzing trends.
  • Newsletter Subscriptions: We retain your email address for newsletter purposes as long as you remain subscribed. You can unsubscribe at any time.

8. Your Data Protection Rights (Under GDPR)

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), you have certain data protection rights. We aim to take reasonable steps to allow you to correct, amend, delete, or limit the use of your Personal Data.

  • The right to access: You have the right to request copies of your personal data.
  • The right to rectification: You have the right to request that we correct any information you believe is inaccurate or complete information you believe is incomplete.
  • The right to erasure (right to be forgotten): You have the right to request that we erase your personal data, under certain conditions.
  • The right to restrict processing: You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data, under certain conditions.
  • The right to object to processing: You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data, under certain conditions, particularly where we rely on legitimate interests as our legal basis.
  • The right to data portability: You have the right to request that we transfer the data that we have collected to another organization, or directly to you, under certain conditions.
  • The right to withdraw consent: You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time where we relied on your consent to process your personal information.

If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the contact details provided in Section 2. We will respond to your request within one month. We may ask you to verify your identity before responding to such requests.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. If you are in Spain, the relevant authority is the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (AEPD) (www.aepd.es). For other EU member states, you can find your local supervisory authority here.

9. Data Security

We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. These measures include, but are not limited to, the use of SSL/TLS encryption for data in transit, security plugins, limiting access to personal data, and regular security reviews. However, please also remember that we cannot guarantee that the internet itself is 100% secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our Site is at your own risk. You should only access the services within a secure environment.

10. Children’s Privacy

Our Site is not intended for use by children under the age of 16 (or a different age as required by local law). We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 16. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Data from children without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with Personal Data, please contact us.

11. Links to Other Websites

Our Site may contain links to other websites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party’s site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.
