The Laralist respects your privacy and values your trust. This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes how we collect and use your information and explains your rights and options. This Policy applies to these services (which we call the “Services” in this Policy):

This Policy is grouped into these sections:

We encourage you to read this Policy carefully. If you have questions, please contact us at hello@thelaralist.com.

1. About This Policy And Us

(a) Who we are

Mario Juárez Polo (NIF 70823366H) (“The Laralist”, “Laralist”, “we”, “our” or “us”) operates the Services. This Policy supplements and is governed by our Terms of Service (“Terms”). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Policy are defined in our Terms. The Terms describe how the Services work in general and its conditions and requirements of use.

(b) When this Policy applies

This Policy applies when you use the Services, effective as of the Last Updated date above. By using or accessing the Services, you signify that you have read, understand and agree to be bound by this Policy and the Terms.

Because the Services change often, this Policy may change over time. Anytime we modify the Policy, we will post a revised version on the Services and update the Last Updated date above. If you have given us your contact information, we will notify you before any material changes take effect, so you have time to review them.

Certain parts of the Services work differently, and some information falls outside this Policy:

(c) Location-specific sections

The Services operates from the Spain, but this Policy applies worldwide. Our practices generally do not differ based on your location, but your rights and choices depend in part on the law where you live. For example, you may have rights under: (1) “GDPR”: implementations of the Data Protection Act 2018 and the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679; or (2) “CCPA”: the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended.

As a result, certain sections of this Policy apply to you only if you reside in a particular location:

Residents of jurisdictions where GDPR applies – such as U.K., EU and Swiss residents – should consult the Rights under GDPR and International Data Transfers sections.

Canadian residents should consult the Canadian users section.

California residents should consult the Rights under California law section. If you reside in a U.S. jurisdiction that has enacted a data privacy law similar to CCPA or GDPR, we extend the same rights CCPA grants to California residents to you, except where we specify otherwise.

If those sections apply to you, they override any contrary descriptions elsewhere in the Policy as they relate to you. Please contact us at hello@thelaralist.com if you have questions about your rights under other data privacy laws.

(a) Information you provide

You may use the Services without providing any information about yourself. However, to use some aspects of the Services, we will need information about you, such as if you:

Information you provide may include your name or email address (“personal identifiers”).

We generally don’t collect (or want!) your sensitive information, and we strive to limit the amount of sensitive personal information we collect.

For instance, make a purchase through our Services, your payment information, like your full credit card number and any payment-related security information, is only collected and processed by our payment processor.

In the event you provide sensitive personal information to us, we use it only for our operational business purposes, and we do not disclose it to others for any other purpose.

2. Our Disclosures Of Information To Others

Since our goal is to help you discover great products, content and services, the principal reason we disclose your information is to enhance your experience of the Services and present relevant content to you. This section describes how and why we exchange personal information with service providers and third parties. It also describes exchanges made for certain purposes, like advertising, legal reasons and consensual direct marketing. We also disclose deidentified and/or anonymized data for these purposes.

(a) With affiliates

Our corporate affiliates may access your information for the purposes listed here, always in accordance with the terms of this Policy.

In addition to the use of trackers described above, we contract with service providers to fulfill certain functionality and features of the Services, including payment processing, email and hosting services, software development, shipping and fulfillment, data management, and administration of contests and other promotions.

We may disclose information about you, such as Personal Identifiers, Commercial Information, Internet Activity and Device Information, to service providers as necessary for them to perform their services.

How long we need information for those purposes varies by category, and even within categories. These retention determinations always consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from its unauthorized use or disclosure, whether we can achieve those purposes without using the personal information.

For example, we delete some Internet Activity at some soon as you exit the Services, whereas we may retain records of your orders for services and products for several years as required by law or contract, such as agreements with our payment processors or under our accounting standards.

4. Your Rights

(a) In General

We want you to be in control of your information, so we want to remind you of the following options and tools available to you:

(b) Rights under GDPR

This subsection applies to you only if you reside in a jurisdiction where GDPR applies.

1. Lawful bases

If we are aware that you reside in a GDPR jurisdiction, we only collect, use or share information about you when we have a valid reason. This is called a “lawful basis.” Our lawful bases generally map to the Purposes above, but specifically include:

We have a legitimate interest in gathering and processing personal data, for example: (1) to ensure that our networks and information are secure; (2) to administer and generally conduct our business; (3) to prevent fraud; and (4) to conduct our marketing activities.

ii. GDPR rights

Depending on your jurisdiction’s enactment of GDPR, you may have these rights:

You may also withdraw your consent to the collection, use and disclosure of Personal Information at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions.

By providing your information to us, you consent to the processing of the information in the European Union. The transfer of this information to the European Union is necessary for the performance of our contract for use of the Services.

(f) Rights under California law

This subsection applies to you only if you reside in California or another U.S. state where applicable law provides for some or all of these rights, including any analogous rights. Except as noted in this subsection, we extend these California rights to residents of those other U.S. states regardless of whether applicable law in those states includes all of these rights.

1. Rights under CCPA

The California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) provides California consumers with additional rights regarding their personal information (as defined in CCPA).
The categories of personal information we collect depend on how you use the Services. They’re generally described in Information We Collect. See Purposes for a general description of the reasons we collect information. For clarity, we have collected personal information for these CCPA categories of business and commercial purposes in the last twelve months:

The categories of third parties to whom we disclose and sell or share personal information are under for personalized ads and with your consent or at your request above. The disclosures under Purposes describe with business purpose or commercial purpose for those disclosures of information.

Under CCPA, California consumers have the following rights:

A. Rights to Know, Access, Correct and Delete.

You have the right to request that we disclose, correct and delete personal information about you that we have collected. Your right to know includes the personal information we have sold or shared or disclosed for a business purpose or a commercial purpose. Finally, we may deny deletion requests, in whole or in part, with respect to information we reasonably need to:

B. Rights to Limit and Opt-Out of Sharing/Sale

You also have the right to direct us (1) not to share or sell your personal information and (2) limit our disclosure and use of your sensitive personal information to purposes necessary to provide the Services to you.
To opt out of the sharing of your information, please use contact us at hello@thelaralist.com. Because we do not maintain user accounts or other means of permanently logging your opt-out, your opt-out will be specific to the browser or device where you clicked ‘Do Not Sell/Share’ and will last until you clear your cookies (or local storage in apps) on that browser or device.
We do not currently offer a mechanism to exercise the right to limit our disclosure of sensitive personal information, as we limit our use of any sensitive information to the purposes you consented to. As of the Last Updated date, we have no knowledge of any use of personal information we collect from individuals under the age of 16 for ‘sale’ or ‘sharing’ purposes.

C. Right of No Retaliation

CCPA prohibits us from discriminating against you if you exercise rights under CCPA, except when you opted into a financial incentive involving certain of your personal information, and subsequently restrict our use of that personal information through a CCPA rights request.

D. Preference signals

The Services are designed to automatically recognize and honor any global opt-out preference signal sent from a California IP address through browser or device settings, provided the signal complies with CCPA’s requirements. Our goal is for the Services to automatically respond to compliant signals by opting California residents out of any sharing or sale of their data in a frictionless manner.
Please contact us at hello@thelaralist.com if you believe the Services collected or processed your information in a manner inconsistent with your opt-out preference signal.

E. Request process for CCPA rights

To submit a CCPA request relating to the foregoing rights, please contact hello@thelaralist.com with “California Privacy Rights Request” in the subject line. The process described under Requesting information generally applies to requests to exercise CCPA rights. However, in addition:

We will acknowledge your request within 10 days, and our goal is to fulfill your request within 45 days. However, we may you that we will require up to 45 further days to fulfill your request, along with an explanation of why our response is delayed.

ii. Other California law

Because we only give your information to third parties for direct marketing purposes with your consent, and always allow you to opt out of direct marketing communications after opting in, we believe we are not currently required to comply with California Civil Code Section 1798.83.

(g) Requesting information

1. Submitting requests

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@thelaralist.com. Your request must:

ii. Verifying requests

We verify requests by first confirming the source of the request and then by matching the information submitted to the information we maintain. If your request is unclear or we are unable to authenticate your identity, we will respond with direction on how to remedy the deficiencies, in accordance with law that applies to you. If we cannot verify the identity of the individual making the request, we may deny it, in full or in part.

iii. Responses to requests

We will respond to your request as quickly as we can, taking into account the nature of your request and the volume of pending requests. We will always respond in accordance with any deadlines or requirements specified by the laws that apply to you.

At times, we may be unable to provide responsive personal information. For example:

We reserve the right to retain an archive of any deleted information, to the extent permitted by law. We may also retain deidentified or aggregate data derived from information about you.

5. Security

The Laralist has implemented technical, administrative and physical security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. Still, no data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you provide, and you do so at your own risk. We cannot promise that your information will remain absolutely secure in all circumstances. We are not responsible for the circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures we may provide.

6. Use by Minors

The Services are intended for adult users. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under the age of majority in their jurisdiction (such as 16 in the UK or 18 in Spain), and we do not share or sell information about anyone under 16 without affirmative authorization. If we learn that we have collected information from a child under age 16, we will delete that information as quickly as possible.

7. Third Party Services

Some areas of the Services contain links to third-party websites, resources and advertisers. These third parties are not part of the Services. We do not control (and are not responsible for) third party content or privacy practices. Information you provide to them is not covered by this Policy. These third parties have their own policies and practices about data, which may include what information they share with us, your rights and choices on their services and devices, and where they store information. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with their privacy policies and terms of use.
