Privacy Policy
Last updated and effective date:
1. Introduction
Solareclipsespain.com takes your privacy seriously. We want you to feel confident that your personal data is handled responsibly, securely, and transparently.
This Privacy Policy explains:
- What personal data we collect
- Why we collect it and how we use it
- Who we share it with and why
- How long we keep it
- Your rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
Our aim is to make this clear and easy to understand—because protecting your privacy is just as important to us as protecting your eyes during a solar eclipse.
2. Data Controller
The data controller responsible for your personal data is:
Peitho Marketing LLC
539 W. Commerce St #4973
Dallas, TX 75208
United States of America
This means we decide how and why your personal data is processed, in line with the EU-GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation).
3. Access Data and Hosting
When you visit our website, our system automatically records certain technical information (“server log files”). This includes your IP address, date and time of access, pages viewed, files requested, the amount of data transferred, browser type/version, operating system, and the website that referred you to us.
We use this data to ensure the smooth operation of our site, to identify and fix technical problems, and to protect against cyber threats. For example, if we see unusual activity in the logs, we can take action to block potential attacks before they cause harm.
Legal basis: Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) in maintaining the security and functionality of our online services.
Retention: Logs are normally kept for up to 14 days and then deleted, unless we need them for security or legal reasons.
4. Web Hosting
Our website is hosted by professional providers in Europe who supply the server space and technology needed to run our site. All personal data collected through the website—including order forms, contact forms, and affiliate registrations—is processed on their secure servers.
We only work with hosting providers who meet GDPR security standards, ensuring that your data remains safe during transmission and storage.
5. Contact Form
If you get in touch via our contact form or email, we may collect your name, email address, phone number and any other details you choose to share depending on the method of communication.
We use this information to respond to your inquiries and follow up if necessary.
Legal basis: Contract performance if related to an order (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR), or legitimate interest in handling inquiries (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Retention: Inquiry-related emails are retained for as long as necessary to manage and document communications, typically up to 12 months. We may keep correspondence longer if it is relevant to an ongoing matter or future follow-up. Once no longer needed, the data is securely deleted or archived in accordance with our data-retention policy.
6. Discussion forum and Social Media
Our discussion forum allows users to comment or participate by logging in with a social-media or Google account. When you choose this option, authentication is handled directly by the selected provider (e.g., Google, Facebook, Instagram, X). We receive only the information necessary to create or recognise your user profile on our website—typically your name, email address, and a provider-specific user ID.
This information is stored securely on our web server within your WordPress user account so that you can post messages, manage your profile, and stay signed in. We do not gain access to your password or other personal details from your social-media account.
The legal basis for processing this data is our legitimate interest (Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR) in enabling convenient and secure login functionality and fostering community interaction on our site.
In the initial login process, Peitho Marketing LLC and the respective social-media platform act as joint controllers in accordance with Art. 26 GDPR, limited to authentication and data transmission. Each party remains independently responsible for its own subsequent processing activities.
You may delete your forum account at any time by contacting us.
Once deleted, your posts remain visible under an anonymised user name unless you request their removal.
For more information on how your login provider handles your data, please review their privacy policies (e.g., Google LLC Privacy Policy, Meta Platforms Inc. Privacy Policy, etc.).
