Privacy Policy
This is a courtesy translation of our Privacy Policy, originally issued in Spanish and governed by the GDPR and Spanish data protection law. In the event of any discrepancy between this translation and the Spanish original, the Spanish version prevails.
1. Who we are
Our website address is: https://autoritas.net.
2. What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor's IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check whether you are using it. The Gravatar service's privacy policy is available at: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included, as visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Contact forms
Data submitted through the contact form is used solely to automate the sending of emails and to respond to the requests received. It is not stored in any database, and no record of this information is retained once the request has been answered.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you have an account and you log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select "Remember Me", your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
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 directly. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics and Matomo Analytics to collect data about visits and the length of time spent on our website. This allows us to improve the user experience and optimize our content.
3. Who we share your data with
We do not share your personal data with third parties, except in the cases described in this Privacy Policy or where necessary to comply with legal obligations.
4. How long we retain your data
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.
For registered users (if any), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. Users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
5. What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you, except for data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
6. Where we send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
7. Your contact information
If you need further information, you may contact us at: autoritas@autoritas.es or complete our contact form.
8. Additional information
How we protect your data
We implement technical and organizational security measures, such as encryption, firewalls, and physical and administrative access controls, to protect your personal data against loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
What data breach procedures we have in place
In the event of a data breach, we follow established procedures to identify, contain, and remedy the situation. This includes notifying affected users and the relevant authorities as required under applicable law.

Automated decision making and profiling

Regulatory disclosure requirements
We comply with all applicable privacy and data protection laws and regulations, including the obligation to disclose information where required by competent authorities.
