Privacy Policy

1. Introduction and Data Controller Details

  • Website: https://vitaldealers.com (hereinafter, the “Website” or the “Site”).
  • Data Controller: VITALDEALERS.
  • Contact email address: info@vitaldealers.com.

Accessing and using this Website implies acceptance of this Privacy Policy, which aims to inform users about data processing carried out in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR), Spain’s Organic Law 3/2018 on the Protection of Personal Data and the Guarantee of Digital Rights (LOPDGDD), and other applicable legislation.

2. Collection and Processing of Personal Data

What data do we collect?

  • Comments: When visitors leave comments on the Website, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string, to help detect spam.
  • Anonymous string (hash): An anonymous string created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to check whether you use it. Once your comment has been approved, your profile picture is visible to the public alongside your comment.
  • Images uploaded by users: If you upload images to the Website, you should avoid including location data (EXIF GPS) in those images, as visitors could download them and extract that information.
  • Cookies: The Website uses different types of cookies to improve the browsing experience. The dedicated [Cookie Policy] section (or a section within this policy) explains which cookies are used and their purposes.

Legal Basis for Processing
We process your personal data mainly on the basis of your consent (when you leave comments, accept cookies, etc.) and, on occasion, for legitimate interests such as detecting spam or providing a service you have requested, for example publishing a comment.

3. Purposes of Processing

  1. Comment Management: We collect the information necessary to publish comments on the Website, as well as additional data (IP address and user agent string) for security purposes, including spam detection.
  2. Interactive Services: If you create an account, your data will be collected to manage your user profile and enable you to access features reserved for registered users.
  3. Cookies and Analytics: We use cookies to store your browsing preferences, keep you logged in and collect Website usage statistics (see [Cookie Policy]).

4. Data Retention

  • Comments: Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely so that subsequent comments can be recognised and approved automatically instead of being held in a moderation queue.
  • Registered Users: Personal information provided by users in their profiles is retained while their accounts remain active. Users can view, edit or delete their personal information at any time, except for their username.
  • Cookies: Cookies have different expiry periods depending on their type and function (see [Cookie Policy]).

5. Data Recipients and Transfers

  • Spam Detection Services: Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. This may involve transferring certain data, such as IP addresses, to the providers of that service.
  • Gravatar Service: When you leave a comment, an anonymous string (hash) generated from your email address is sent to Gravatar to check whether you use that service. Gravatar’s privacy policy: https://automattic.com/privacy/.
  • Legal Obligations: We may disclose data to third parties when there is a legal obligation to do so, including public administrations and competent authorities.

We do not sell, rent or disclose your personal data to third parties, except in the circumstances described or with your express consent.

6. Users’ Rights

Under the GDPR and the LOPDGDD, you have the right to:

  1. Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  2. Rectification: Request the correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
  3. Erasure (“Right to Be Forgotten”): Request the deletion of data when it is no longer necessary or when consent is withdrawn.
  4. Objection: Object to the processing of your data on personal grounds or for direct marketing purposes.
  5. Restriction: Request that we restrict the processing of your data in certain circumstances.
  6. Portability: Receive your data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, or request its transfer to another controller.

To exercise these rights, send your request to [Contact email address for personal data matters], clearly stating which right you wish to exercise and attaching a copy of your national identity document or an equivalent document so that we can verify your identity.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD) if you believe that data protection legislation has been breached.

7. Data Security

We adopt appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against destruction, loss, alteration, disclosure or unauthorised access. However, you should be aware that complete security on the Internet cannot be guaranteed and that using the Website involves risks inherent in this environment.

8. Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this Website may include embedded content, such as videos, images or articles. This embedded content behaves in the same way as if the visitor had visited the other website.
Those websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website. We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of each external website.

9. Changes to the Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect legislative developments or changes in our activities. If significant changes are made, we will notify you on the Website or through other reasonable means so that you can be aware of them. The updated version will be published on this same page, indicating the date of its last review.
