This policy explains what information Barcelona Vibe (the "site", "we", "us") collects, how we use it, who we share it with, and the rights you have over it under the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). For the purposes of the GDPR, the operator of Barcelona Vibe is the data controller and can be reached at gotravelwithus101@gmail.com.

Information we collect

Automatic and analytics data: when you browse, we collect non-identifying information such as your IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed, access times and referring source, through cookies and traffic-analytics tools. This is used to run and improve the site.

Information you give us: your email address when you subscribe to the newsletter. We do not collect or store any payment card or payment details, as the site does not sell or process payments.

Legal bases for processing (GDPR)

  • Consent: for the newsletter and for analytics/marketing cookies. You can withdraw consent at any time.
  • Legitimate interests: to operate, secure and improve the site, in a way that does not override your rights.
  • Legal obligation: where we must retain or disclose information to comply with the law.

How we use your information

  • Operating, maintaining and improving the site and its content;
  • Sending the newsletter and updates to people who subscribed and consented;
  • Responding to enquiries and messages;
  • Statistical analysis of usage to improve the service;
  • Keeping the site and its users secure and preventing misuse;
  • Complying with the law and protecting legal rights.

Sharing with third parties

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with the service providers (processors) that make the site work:

  • Email: our newsletter provider (such as Brevo) to manage subscriptions and send emails.
  • Analytics and hosting: traffic-analytics and hosting providers (such as Google Analytics and Vercel), which process data under their own policies.
  • Where required by law, court order or a competent authority, and to protect legal rights;
  • In the event of a business change (such as a merger or transfer of activity).

International data transfers

Some of our providers are based outside your country, including in the United States. Where personal data is transferred internationally, it is protected by appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses or an adequacy decision.

Cookies

The site uses cookies and analytics technologies (such as Google Analytics and Vercel Analytics) to remember preferences, measure traffic and improve the experience. Analytics cookies load only after you accept them in the cookie banner. Most browsers also let you block or delete cookies in their settings; blocking them may affect some features.

Your rights under the GDPR

If you are in the EU or UK, you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict or object to the processing of your personal data, the right to data portability, and the right to withdraw consent at any time. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Your rights under the CCPA

If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect and how it is used, to request its deletion, and to opt out of the "sale" of personal information. We do not sell personal information. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights.

Data retention

We keep newsletter data for as long as you stay subscribed, and analytics data for a limited period. You can ask us to delete your data at any time by emailing gotravelwithus101@gmail.com.

Children

The site is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their personal data.

Links to third-party sites

The site contains links to sites we do not control and that are not covered by this policy. Those sites have their own privacy policies, which we recommend you read.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The version published on this page is the one that applies, and the update date is shown at the top.
