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.
2. What data we collect
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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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:
We may also disclose data when we are legally required to, for example to a court or public authority.
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.
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.
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.
Under the GDPR and the Spanish Data Protection Act (Organic Law 3/2018), you have the right to:
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.
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.
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.
For any question about this policy or your data, write to hola@activebrainers.com.
