At YourAndalucia we recognize that privacy is important. This Privacy Policy applies to all of the products, services and information offered by YourAndalucia or its subsidiaries or affiliated companies; collectively, YourAndalucia’s “services.”
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please feel free to contact us through our website.
Information we collect and how we use it
We offer a number of services that do not require you to register for an account or provide any personal information to us. In order to provide our full range of services, we may collect the following types of information:
- Information you provide – When you sign up for information or other YourAndalucia service or promotion that requires registration, we ask you for personal information (such as your name, email address and an account password). For certain services, such as our special reports, we may also request credit card or other payment account information - these will NOT be stored by us. We may combine the information you submit under your account with information from other services or third parties in order to provide you with a better experience and to improve the quality of our services.
- Cookies – When you visit YourAndalucia, we may send one or more cookies – a small file containing a string of characters – to your computer or other device that uniquely identifies your browser. We may use cookies to improve the quality of our service or for storing user preferences. YourAndalucia also uses third party cookies in its advertising services. We may set one or more cookies in your browser when you visit our website.
- Log information – When you access YourAndalucia's services, our servers automatically record information that your browser sends whenever you visit a website. These server logs may include information such as your web request, Internet Protocol address, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your request and one or more cookies that may uniquely identify your browser.
- User communications – When you send email or other communications to YourAndalucia, we may retain those communications in order to process your inquiries, respond to your requests and improve our services.
- Links – YourAndalucia may present links in a format that enables us to keep track of whether these links have been followed. We use this information to improve the quality of our customized content.
- Other sites – This Privacy Policy applies to YourAndalucia services only. We do not exercise control over the sites displayed as search results, products or services, or links from within our various services. These other sites may place their own cookies or other files on your computer, collect data or solicit personal information from you.
YourAndalucia processes personal information on our servers in the United States of America and in other countries. In some cases, we process personal information on a server outside your own country. We may process personal information to provide our own services.
Choices for personal information
When you sign up for a particular service that requires registration, we ask you to provide personal information. If we use this information in a manner different than the purpose for which it was collected, then we will ask for your consent prior to such use.
If we propose to use personal information for any purposes other than those described in this Privacy Policy and/or in the specific service privacy notices, we will offer you an effective way to opt out of the use of personal information for those other purposes. We will not collect or use sensitive information for purposes other than those described in this Privacy Policy and/or in the supplementary service privacy notices, unless we have obtained your prior consent.
Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies, but you can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent.
You can decline to submit personal information to any of our services, in which case YourAndalucia may not be able to provide some services to you.
Information sharing
YourAndalucia only shares personal information with other companies or individuals outside of the YourAndalucia website in the following limited circumstances:
- We have your consent. We require opt-in consent for the sharing of any sensitive personal information.
- We provide such information to our subsidiaries, affiliated companies or other trusted businesses or persons for the purpose of processing personal information on our behalf. We require that these parties agree to process such information based on our instructions and in compliance with this Privacy Policy and any other appropriate confidentiality and security measures.
- We have a good faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of such information is reasonably necessary to (a) satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or enforceable governmental request, (b) enforce applicable Terms of Service, including investigation of potential violations thereof, (c) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues, or (d) protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of YourAndalucia, its users or the public as required or permitted by law.
If YourAndalucia becomes involved in a merger, acquisition, or any form of sale of some or all of its assets, we will ensure the confidentiality of any personal information involved in such transactions and provide notice before personal information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
We may share with third parties certain pieces of aggregated, non-personal information, such as the number of users or how many users clicked on a particular web page. Such information does not identify you individually.
Information security
We take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of data. These include internal reviews of our data collection, storage and processing practices and security measures, as well as physical security measures to guard against unauthorized access to systems where we store personal data.
We restrict access to personal information to YourAndalucia employees, contractors and agents who need to know that information in order to operate, develop or improve our services. These individuals are bound by confidentiality obligations and may be subject to discipline, including termination and criminal prosecution, if they fail to meet these obligations.
Data integrity
YourAndalucia processes personal information only for the purposes for which it was collected and in accordance with this Privacy Policy or any applicable service-specific privacy notice. We review our data collection, storage and processing practices to ensure that we only collect, store and process the personal information needed to provide or improve our services or as otherwise permitted under this Policy. We take reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information we process is accurate, complete, and current, but we depend on our users to update or correct their personal information whenever necessary.
Accessing and updating personal information
When you use YourAndalucia's services, we make good faith efforts to provide you with access to your personal information and either to correct this data if it is inaccurate or to delete such data at your request if it is not otherwise required to be retained by law or for legitimate business purposes. We ask individual users to identify themselves and the information requested to be accessed, corrected or removed before processing such requests, and we may decline to process requests that are unreasonably repetitive or systematic, require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of others, or would be extremely impractical (for instance, requests concerning information residing on backup tapes), or for which access is not otherwise required. In any case where we provide information access and correction, we perform this service free of charge, except if doing so would require a disproportionate effort. Some of our services have different procedures to access, correct or delete users’ personal information.
Enforcement
YourAndalucia regularly reviews its compliance with this Privacy Policy. Please feel free to direct any questions or concerns regarding this Privacy Policy or YourAndalucia’s treatment of personal information by contacting us through this web site.
