The data you directly provide us are used to contact you again and/or within the context of your request. Web analytics data are collected anonymously (recording anonymized IP addresses) via Google Analytics and allow us to measure our website audience, visits, and potential errors to continuously improve the user experience. These data are used by LUQUE Machines, the data processing controller, and will never be transferred to third parties nor used for purposes other than those detailed above.

Personal data is only collected after obtaining mandatory user consent. This consent is validly collected (buttons and checkboxes), freely given, clear, and unequivocal.

Data Retention Periods

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This allows automatic recognition and approval of subsequent comments instead of leaving them in the moderation queue.

For users registering on our site (if possible), we also store personal data indicated in their profile. All users can view, modify, or delete their personal information at any time (except their username). Website administrators can also view and modify this information.

Data will be retained for a maximum period of 3 years.
