I, JM Solanes, own and operate jmsolanes.es (the “Website”). I respect the privacy of visitors and take the protection of personal information seriously.
This Privacy Policy explains what personal information may be collected when you visit the Website, contact me, download free ebooks, or use the JM Solanes UX Audit tool. It also explains how that information is used, how long it may be retained, and how you can exercise your data protection rights.
Data controller: JM Solanes
Website: https://www.jmsolanes.es/
For privacy-related questions or requests, please use the contact details above.
Like most websites, jmsolanes.es may process technical information made available by web browsers and servers. Depending on the services and settings in use, this may include browser type, language preferences, referring website, date and time of requests, IP addresses, and technical logs.
This information may be used to operate the Website, maintain security, troubleshoot technical problems, and understand how the Website is used.
Where analytics or other tracking technologies are used, their operation and any applicable consent requirements are described in the relevant cookie information.
If you contact me through a form or by email, I may process the information you provide, such as your name, email address, message, and any other information you choose to include.
I use this information to respond to your enquiry, provide requested information, discuss potential projects, and maintain relevant business communications.
I retain enquiry information only for as long as necessary to deal with the enquiry and any subsequent relationship, subject to applicable legal obligations and the need to establish or defend legal claims.
Please avoid sending sensitive personal information unless it is genuinely necessary.
The Website may offer free ebooks or other downloadable resources. To request these resources, visitors may be asked to provide their name and email address.
I use the information provided to process the request and deliver the ebook or resource requested.
Requesting or downloading a free ebook does not, by itself, mean that you have agreed to receive unrelated marketing communications.
If I offer newsletters, updates, promotional material, or other marketing communications, any consent required for those communications will be requested separately, through a clear and optional choice. Refusing marketing consent will not prevent you from receiving a resource that you have otherwise requested.
Where marketing consent is given, it may be withdrawn at any time, including through an unsubscribe link where available or by contacting me.
Ebook request information is retained for as long as necessary to fulfil the request, manage the related service, maintain any necessary consent records, and meet applicable legal requirements. Where an email address is also used for a separately consented mailing list, it may remain on that list until consent is withdrawn or the information is otherwise no longer required.
The Website may provide an automated website review service called JM Solanes UX Audit.
To request an audit, a visitor may need to provide a website URL and an email address. The tool processes the submitted URL and retrieves website content for automated analysis.
The audit is based on the HTML that the tool can retrieve. It is an automated preliminary assessment and does not constitute a complete usability study, a full browser-based evaluation, or a guarantee of accessibility, security, or performance.
The submitted information is used to process the audit request, perform the analysis, generate the report, and deliver the requested report by email.
The plugin’s diagnostic information indicates that it stores report summaries and related operational information, rather than the raw HTML retrieved from audited websites.
The retention period for audit records is determined by the actual retention settings of the tool. Information is deleted according to those settings, subject to applicable legal obligations and necessary security or operational requirements.
The retention period and the specific information stored should be confirmed against the plugin’s live configuration.
Only submit website addresses that you are authorised to have analysed. The tool is intended to inspect publicly accessible website content and uses technical safeguards intended to restrict unsafe network requests.
The audit report is an automated assessment and should be treated as guidance rather than a definitive judgement of a website.
Depending on the particular interaction, personal information may be processed on one or more of the following legal bases:
Requested services and pre-contractual steps: to respond to an enquiry, deliver a requested ebook, or process and deliver an audit report.
Consent: where consent is required, such as for optional marketing communications or certain cookies and tracking technologies.
Legal obligations: to comply with applicable legal, tax, accounting, or regulatory requirements.
Legitimate interests: where appropriate and permitted by law, for example to maintain website security, prevent abuse, and troubleshoot technical issues, provided those interests do not override the individual’s rights and freedoms.
Where processing is based on consent, that consent may be withdrawn at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
I may send emails that are necessary to respond to enquiries, deliver requested resources, or provide a report that has been requested.
Marketing emails are a separate matter. Where consent is required, I will only send promotional communications after obtaining the appropriate consent. Such consent is not a condition for receiving a free ebook or requesting an audit.
You may unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time. Unsubscribing from marketing does not prevent essential service-related messages from being sent where they are necessary to fulfil a request.
The Website may use cookies or similar technologies to support essential functionality, remember preferences, maintain security, or measure website usage.
The cookies actually used depend on the Website’s configuration and any third-party services installed. Non-essential cookies or tracking technologies will be handled in accordance with applicable consent requirements.
For more information, please consult the Website’s Cookie Policy or cookie settings, where available.
I do not rent or sell personal information to third parties.
Information may be processed by service providers where necessary to operate the Website or deliver requested services. Depending on the actual configuration, these may include website hosting providers, email delivery providers, website maintenance providers, and security or technical service providers.
Such providers should only receive information necessary for their relevant services and must be subject to appropriate confidentiality and data protection arrangements where required.
Information may also be disclosed where required by law or where necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
The specific providers used and any applicable international data transfers should be assessed against the Website’s actual hosting, email, analytics, and plugin configuration.
If personal information is transferred outside the European Economic Area, any such transfer will be carried out in accordance with applicable data protection law and the required safeguards.
The actual hosting location, email providers, and other service providers should be reviewed to determine whether international transfers take place and which safeguards apply.
Personal information is retained only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law.
Retention periods may differ depending on the type of information:
Contact enquiries: for the time needed to respond and manage any resulting relationship.
Ebook requests: for the time needed to deliver the requested resource and manage necessary records.
Marketing subscriptions: until consent is withdrawn or the information is no longer required, subject to any necessary records of consent or suppression.
UX audit reports: according to the retention period configured in the audit tool.
Technical and security logs: according to the applicable server and security settings and any relevant legal requirements.
Information that is no longer needed will be deleted or otherwise handled in accordance with applicable data protection requirements.
I take reasonable technical and organisational measures intended to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
However, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to:
Request access to your personal information.
Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
Request deletion of your personal information.
Request restriction of processing.
Object to certain processing.
Request data portability where applicable.
Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
Lodge a complaint with the relevant data protection supervisory authority.
To exercise your rights, contact me using the contact details in Section 2. I may need to verify your identity before responding to a request.
If you are in Spain, you may also lodge a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency (Agencia Española de Protección de Datos, AEPD) at https://www.aepd.es/.
The Website may contain links to third-party websites or services. Those websites operate under their own privacy policies and practices. I am not responsible for the privacy practices of websites that I do not operate.
The Website’s services are not specifically intended to collect personal information from children. If you believe that a child has provided personal information inappropriately, please contact me so that the matter can be reviewed.
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes to the Website, its services, applicable legal requirements, or data processing practices.
The latest version will be published on this page, together with its update date. Visitors are encouraged to review it periodically.
