This Privacy Policy explains how spanishwithcelso.com ("we", "I") collects and uses your personal data, in line with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Spanish data protection law (LOPDGDD 3/2018).

  • Website usage: basic technical data and cookies needed for the website to work.

3. Why I use your data and on what legal basis

  • Sending you the free guide and my weekly email with Spanish tips and offers: Your consent (you can withdraw it at any time)

  • Students and customers: while the service lasts, then for as long as the law requires (e.g. tax records, usually 4–6 years).

5. Who I share it with

I don't sell your data. I use trusted providers that process data on my behalf:

  • Hostinger (website hosting and email marketing through Hostinger Reach)

  • Stripe (payments)

  • Skool (community platform)

  • Google (Gmail, Forms, Sheets, and Drive to host the free guides)

Some of these providers are based outside the European Economic Area, for example in the United States. In those cases, transfers are protected by the EU–US Data Privacy Framework or by the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.

6. Your rights

You can ask to access, correct or delete your data, object to or restrict its use, ask for portability, and withdraw your consent at any time. Email celsogilroman@gmail.com. Every marketing email also includes an unsubscribe link.

If you think your rights haven't been respected, you can complain to the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD): www.aepd.es

7. Children

These services are for adults. I don't knowingly collect data from children under 14.

8. Changes
