Privacy Policy

Last updated: 10 April 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how elespinazodelanoche.com (the “Site”) collects, uses, stores, and shares personal data when you visit or interact with our pages. We are committed to transparency and to processing data in line with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018, the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) where applicable, and related guidance issued by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). Please read this notice together with our Cookie Policy, which explains how cookies and similar technologies operate on the Site.

Data controller

The data controller responsible for personal data processed through the Site is the publisher operating elespinazodelanoche.com. You can contact the controller for privacy enquiries at info@elespinazodelanoche.com. If we appoint a data protection officer or EU/UK representative, updated contact details will be posted here. Where we act jointly with another controller (for example, in co-branded campaigns), we will identify each party’s responsibilities at the point of collection.

Categories of personal data

We do not require you to register an account to read editorial content. However, when you load pages, your browser automatically sends technical information that may constitute personal data, including Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type and version, operating system, device identifiers where exposed, language preferences, referring URL, requested path, HTTP status, and date/time stamps. If you email us, we process the address you supply, message content, and metadata needed to respond. If you use social widgets or embedded media, the relevant provider may collect data under its own policy. We do not knowingly collect special-category data through the Site.

Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies to remember age-gate and cookie-banner choices, maintain security, and understand aggregate traffic patterns. Non-essential cookies are deployed only where permitted by law, typically after you provide consent through our banner or browser settings. Detailed descriptions of each category, storage duration, and control mechanisms appear in our Cookie Policy. You may withdraw consent or adjust preferences at any time, subject to strictly necessary cookies that are required for basic functionality.

Purposes and lawful bases

We process personal data for the following purposes: (1) delivering and securing the Site, detecting abuse, and enforcing our Terms of Service—lawful bases: legitimate interests (network and information security) and, where relevant, legal obligation; (2) measuring audience size, referral sources, and content performance using aggregated or pseudonymous analytics—lawful bases: consent where required by PECR, otherwise legitimate interests balanced against your rights; (3) attributing outbound traffic to affiliate partners and fulfilling commercial reporting—lawful bases: legitimate interests and, where identifiers are used in cookies, consent as described in our Cookie Policy; (4) responding to correspondence—lawful bases: legitimate interests and, if you initiate a contractual discussion, steps prior to contract; (5) complying with court orders, regulatory requests, or defence of legal claims—lawful bases: legal obligation and legitimate interests.

Recipients and international transfers

We use infrastructure, security, and analytics vendors who process data on our instructions as processors. They may be located in the United Kingdom, the European Economic Area, or other countries. Where personal data is transferred outside the UK/EEA, we implement appropriate safeguards such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement, UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, or adequacy regulations, supplemented by technical and organisational measures. Operators you visit via outbound links act as independent controllers; their privacy notices govern processing after you leave the Site.

Retention

Server logs and security telemetry are retained for a limited period necessary to investigate incidents and meet legal requirements, typically between thirty and one hundred eighty days unless a longer period is justified by an active investigation. Analytics data is aggregated or pseudonymised; raw event data is deleted or minimised according to vendor settings. Email correspondence is kept for as long as needed to complete the thread and for a reasonable period thereafter to manage follow-up queries, subject to statutory limitation periods. Cookie maximum lifetimes are listed in the Cookie Policy.

Automated decision-making and profiling

We do not use personal data for solely automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects on individuals. Limited profiling may occur through analytics tools to understand content popularity; such processing does not determine eligibility for credit, employment, or gambling services on our part because we do not provide those services.

Your rights

Depending on your circumstances, you may have the right to: access a copy of your personal data; rectify inaccurate data; erase data in certain situations; restrict processing; object to processing based on legitimate interests (including direct marketing, where applicable); data portability for data you provided and that we process by automated means under contract or consent; and withdraw consent without affecting the lawfulness of earlier processing. You may lodge a complaint with the ICO (www.ico.org.uk). To exercise rights, email info@elespinazodelanoche.com; we may request reasonable information to confirm identity.

Children

The Site is directed at adults aged 18 or older. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If you believe we have received such data, contact us promptly so we can delete it where appropriate.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect legal, technical, or business developments. Material changes will be communicated via a notice on the Site or other appropriate channel, and the “Last updated” date will be revised. Continued use after changes indicates acknowledgement of the updated notice, where permitted by law.
