Welcome to Alphabey Spanish (“Alphabey”, “we”, “us” or “our”). We respect your privacy and are committed to handling personal information responsibly and transparently. This Privacy Policy applies to the website https://www.alphabeyspanish.com.
1. Who is responsible for your data?
The data controller is the owner and operator of Alphabey Spanish.
Contact email: info@alphabeyspanish.com
2. Information we collect
The newsletter subscription form asks only for:
- Your email address.
Our hosting and security systems may also generate limited technical logs, such as the date and time of a request, browser information or an IP address, where necessary to operate and protect the website.
3. Why we use your information
We use your email address to:
- Send updates and announcements about Spanish courses.
- Share news about books, podcasts and educational content.
- Manage your subscription and respond to related requests.
- Protect the website and prevent abuse or fraudulent submissions.
4. Legal basis
We process your email address on the basis of your consent. You give this consent when you voluntarily submit the subscription form. You may withdraw your consent at any time by using the unsubscribe option included in our emails or by contacting us.
5. Email service provider
We use Brevo to manage subscriptions and deliver email communications. Brevo processes subscriber information on our behalf as a service provider. We may also use our web-hosting provider for the secure operation of the website and its subscription form.
We do not sell or rent your personal information.
6. How long we keep your information
We keep your email address while you remain subscribed. When you unsubscribe or withdraw your consent, we will stop sending marketing communications. Limited information may be retained where necessary to record your opt-out, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes or prevent further unwanted messages.
7. Cookies and tracking technologies
At the date of this policy, Alphabey Spanish does not use analytics, advertising or marketing cookies. The website may use strictly necessary technical mechanisms if required for security or proper operation. These do not require consent where they are genuinely necessary.
If non-essential cookies or tracking tools are introduced in the future, this policy will be updated and an appropriate consent mechanism will be added before those technologies are activated.
8. International data transfers
Some service providers may process information outside Spain or the European Economic Area. Where this occurs, we rely on the safeguards required by applicable data-protection law, such as adequacy decisions or approved contractual protections.
9. Data security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information from unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure. However, no online service can guarantee absolute security.
10. Your data-protection rights
Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to:
- Request access to your personal information.
- Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
- Request deletion of your information.
- Request restriction of processing.
- Object to certain processing.
- Receive your information in a portable format where applicable.
- Withdraw consent at any time, without affecting processing carried out before withdrawal.
To exercise these rights, contact us using the email address stated above. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency (Agencia Española de Protección de Datos — AEPD) or another competent supervisory authority.
11. Children’s privacy
The subscription service is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children who cannot legally provide valid consent. If you believe that a child has submitted personal information without appropriate authorisation, contact us so that we can review and remove it where required.
12. External links
The website may contain links to third-party services, including podcast, membership or book-purchasing platforms. Those services operate under their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their data-processing practices.
13. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when the website, our services or legal requirements change. The latest version will be published on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
14. Providing your information is voluntary
You are not required to provide your email address in order to browse or use this website. If you choose to subscribe, you voluntarily provide your email address so that we can send you the communications described in this Privacy Policy. You may withdraw your consent and unsubscribe at any time.
