Last updated: October 12, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how ActiveBrainers collects and uses your personal data when you visit this website and when you request our free Caregiver Companion Bundle. We have tried to write it in plain language. If anything is unclear, email us at hola@activebrainers.com.

1. Who is responsible for your data

    • Who is responsible:  ActiveBrainers
    • What we collect through the form: your email address, your first name (optional) and your choices in the two checkboxes.
    • Why: to email you the download link you asked for and, only if you tick the optional box, to send you occasional resources for caregivers.
    • Who helps us: Brevo, our email provider, which stores contact data in the European Union, and our web hosting provider.
    • We never sell your data, ask for medical information or use advertising or analytics cookies.
    • Your rights: you can access, correct or delete your data, unsubscribe at any time and complain to a data protection authority. See section 10.

2. What data we collect

When you request the bundle

    • Email address (required): we need it to send you the download link.

    • First name (optional): only to greet you by name in our emails.

    • Your acceptance of this policy (required checkbox) and whether you opted in to our newsletter (optional checkbox), together with the date and time.

    • Technical data linked to the request: your IP address and, if we ask you to confirm your email address, the date, time and IP address of that confirmation.

When you browse the website

Like any website, our hosting provider’s servers automatically record basic technical data (IP address, browser type, date and time of the visit and the page requested) in server logs, which are used for security and to keep the site running.

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

a) Sending you the free bundle

We use your email address and, if you give it, your first name to send you the download link and to resend it if you ask us to. We may first send you an email asking you to confirm your address, to make sure nobody signs you up without your knowledge.

Legal basis: taking the steps you requested when you filled in the form (Article 6(1)(b) of the General Data Protection Regulation, “GDPR”). Without your email address we cannot send you the bundle.

b) Our newsletter, only if you opt in

If you tick the optional box “Also send me occasional gentle resources for caregivers”, we will send you occasional emails with resources, guides and news from ActiveBrainers. Not ticking it has no effect on receiving the bundle.

Legal basis: your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Article 21 of Spanish Law 34/2002 on Information Society Services). You can withdraw your consent at any time with the “unsubscribe” link in every email or by writing to us. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of emails sent before.

c) Protecting the form against abuse

To stop spam and automated sign-ups, the form includes a hidden field that only bots fill in, and our server temporarily keeps an encrypted (hashed) version of your IP address and email address to limit repeated submissions. This data expires automatically after one hour at most.

Legal basis: our legitimate interest in keeping the website and our mailing lists secure (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).

d) Running the website and proving consent

We use server logs to keep the website secure and working, and we keep a record of your choices in the form so that we can demonstrate that you asked for the bundle and, where applicable, agreed to receive our newsletter.

Legal basis: our legitimate interest in operating a secure website (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) and our legal obligation to be able to demonstrate consent (Article 7(1) GDPR).

We do not make decisions about you based solely on automated processing, and we do not create profiles about you.

4. Please don’t send us health information

Our resources are about caring for someone after a stroke, but we never need medical information about you or the person you care for, and our form does not ask for it. Please do not include health details when you write to us. If you do, we will only use them to answer your message and will delete them afterwards.

5. Who we share your data with

We do not sell or rent your personal data. We only share it with service providers that process it on our behalf, under a data processing agreement, and only for the purposes described above:

    • Brevo (Sendinblue SAS, 17 rue Salneuve, 75017 Paris, France): our email platform. It stores your contact details and sends our emails.

    • Hostinger: hosts this website and its server logs.

We may also disclose data when we are legally required to, for example to a court or public authority.

6. International transfers

Brevo stores contact data on servers located in the European Union. Some of Brevo’s own service providers may access data from outside the European Economic Area, for example from the United States or India. When that happens, the transfer is protected by appropriate safeguards, such as the Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission. You can ask us for more information about these safeguards.

7. How long we keep your data

    • Bundle requests: for up to 12 MONTHS after your request, so that we can resend the link if you need it. After that we delete your details, unless you are also subscribed to our newsletter.

    • Newsletter: until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete your data. After that we keep only your email address on a “do not contact” list, so that we never email you again by mistake.

    • Record of your choices and confirmation: for as long as we may need to prove them, up to the legal limitation period (generally three years).

    • Anti-abuse data: expires automatically after one hour at most.

    • Server logs: for the period set by our hosting provider, [NUMBER OF DAYS] days.

8. Email statistics

Brevo can record whether an email was delivered and opened and which links were clicked. We only use this information to check that our emails arrive and to improve them, never to build profiles about you. Most email apps let you block this by not loading images automatically.

9. Cookies

This website does not use analytics, advertising or social media cookies. The fonts it uses are hosted on our own server, so your visit is not shared with font services such as Google Fonts. WordPress only sets technically necessary cookies when someone logs in to manage the site. If we ever add other cookies, we will update this policy and ask for your consent first.

10. Your rights

Under the GDPR and the Spanish Data Protection Act (Organic Law 3/2018), you have the right to:

    • Access the personal data we hold about you.

    • Rectify data that is inaccurate or incomplete.

    • Erase your data (“right to be forgotten”).

    • Restrict how we use your data in certain cases.

    • Object to processing based on our legitimate interest.

    • Data portability: receive your data in a common, machine-readable format.

    • Withdraw your consent to the newsletter at any time, with the unsubscribe link or by writing to us.

To exercise any of these rights, email hola@activebrainers.com from the address you signed up with, with the subject “Privacy”. We will answer within one month. If we cannot be sure who you are, we may ask you for additional information to verify your identity.

If you think we have not handled your data properly, you can complain to the Spanish Data Protection Agency (Agencia Española de Protección de Datos, C/ Jorge Juan 6, 28001 Madrid, www.aepd.es) or to the data protection authority of the country where you live. We would appreciate the chance to sort it out with you first.

11. Children

Our resources are intended for adult caregivers. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If you believe a child has sent us their data, please contact us and we will delete it.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy if our services or the law change. We will always show the date of the latest update at the top of this page, and if the changes are significant we will let our subscribers know by email.

13. Contact

For any question about this policy or your data, write to hola@activebrainers.com.
