This Privacy Policy explains how Build Archive (“we”, “this site”) collects, uses and protects your personal data, in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable Spanish data protection law.
In plain language, our commitments are simple: we do not sell your personal data, we do not collect personal information unless you voluntarily provide it, and we collect only what is needed to run this blog.
1. Data Controller
Cristóbal Tormo Fenoll (Spain)
Email: [email protected]
2. Data We Collect
Automatically collected data (only after you consent to statistics cookies via the cookie banner):
- Anonymized IP address
- Browser type and version
- Pages visited and time spent on them
- Referring URL
Data you provide voluntarily:
- Name and email address, when leaving a comment
- Message content, when contacting us by email
3. How We Use Your Data
- To understand which articles are useful, using aggregated, anonymized statistics (Google Analytics, loaded through Site Kit by Google)
- To display and moderate comments you choose to publish
- To reply to messages you send us
The legal bases for this processing are your consent (analytics cookies, comments) and our legitimate interest in operating and securing the website (server logs, spam and abuse prevention).
4. Cookies and Consent
We use a consent banner (Complianz) that lets you accept or reject each cookie category before anything non-essential is loaded. Details of every cookie we use are in the Cookie Policy.
5. Advertising
If this site displays advertising served by Google AdSense, Google and its partners may use advertising cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. You can opt out of personalised advertising at Google Ads Settings. Advertising cookies are only set if you consent to the marketing category in the cookie banner. See how Google uses cookies in advertising.
6. Data Sharing and Transfers
We do not sell or rent your personal data. Data may be processed by the following service providers acting on our behalf: Google (analytics, and advertising if enabled). Where these providers process data outside the EEA, transfers rely on the European Commission’s adequacy decisions or Standard Contractual Clauses.
7. Data Retention
- Comments and their metadata are retained while the article remains published, so follow-up comments stay in context.
- Contact emails are kept only as long as needed to handle your inquiry.
- Analytics data is retained for a maximum of 14 months.
8. Your Rights
Under the GDPR you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict or object to the processing of your personal data, and the right to data portability. To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected]. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority — in Spain, the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (AEPD).
9. Security
All traffic to this site is encrypted with SSL/TLS. Comments and stored data live on infrastructure we control, protected by a web application firewall and kept up to date.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top reflects the latest revision. Substantial changes will be highlighted on this page.
