This policy explains what personal data IndexKite (“the site”, “I”, “me”) collects, why, and what rights you have.
Who is responsible for your data
The data controller is Unai Sampedro, based in Spain. Contact: contact@indexkite.com.
What data is collected
- Data you send me. If you email me or use the contact form, I receive your name, email address and whatever you write. Messages sent through the form are delivered to my email inbox; they aren’t stored on the website.
- Technical data. Like any website, the server records basic technical information (IP address, browser type, pages requested, date and time) in its logs for security and to keep the site running.
- Cookies and similar technologies. See the Cookie Policy.
The site has no user accounts, no comments and no newsletter, and it doesn’t sell anything.
Why it’s used, and on what legal basis
| Purpose | Legal basis (GDPR art. 6) |
|---|---|
| Answering your messages | Your consent, and my legitimate interest in replying |
| Security and operation of the site (server logs) | Legitimate interest |
| Measuring traffic and showing advertising through cookies | Your consent, given through the cookie banner |
Advertising (Google AdSense)
IndexKite uses Google AdSense to show ads. Google and its partners may use cookies to show ads based on your visits to this and other websites. You can manage personalized advertising at Google’s Ads Settings and learn more at How Google uses information from sites that use its services. If you’re in the European Economic Area, the UK or Switzerland, personalized ads are only shown with your consent.
Who else receives data
- Hosting: Namecheap, Inc. (United States), which hosts the site and its email.
- Google (advertising, and traffic measurement through Google Analytics, which only stores cookies in your browser with your consent). The site also loads one font file for its headlines from Google Fonts, so your browser sends Google your IP address when it fetches that file; Google Fonts doesn’t set cookies.
Some of these providers are outside the European Economic Area. Transfers rely on the European Commission’s adequacy decision for the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework where the provider is certified, or on standard contractual clauses.
How long data is kept
- Emails: for as long as needed to deal with your message, and no more than two years.
- Server logs: according to the hosting provider’s retention, normally a few weeks.
- Your cookie choice: stored in a cookie in your own browser for up to twelve months; it isn’t sent to any third party.
Your rights
You can ask to access, correct or delete your data, to restrict or object to its use, and to receive it in a portable format. You can withdraw consent at any time. Write to contact@indexkite.com. If you’re in the EU and aren’t satisfied with the answer, you can complain to the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD, www.aepd.es) or your local authority.
U.S. readers
IndexKite doesn’t sell or share personal information for money. Your browser’s privacy controls and the cookie banner let you opt out of advertising cookies.
Children
The site isn’t directed at anyone under 16, and I don’t knowingly collect their data.
