This Privacy Policy explains how BuyInmoSmart (“we,” “us,” “the site,” accessible at https://buyinmosmart.com) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website.
1. Who we are
BuyInmoSmart is a personal finance and real estate education website. The site is operated by Ferran Pujol Acosta, a self-employed individual (autónomo) based in Spain. For any privacy-related question, you can contact us at ferrantienda001@gmail.com.
2. Information we collect
Information you provide directly
If you leave a comment on an article, we collect the name, email address, and website (optional) you enter in the comment form, along with your IP address and browser user agent, to help detect spam. Your email is not published or shared publicly with your comment.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, we automatically collect certain technical information when you visit, including:
- IP address (anonymized or truncated where possible)
- Browser type and device information
- Pages visited, time spent, and referring URL
- Approximate location (country/region, derived from IP)
This is collected through cookies and similar technologies, described below.
3. Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use the following categories:
- Essential cookies: required for basic site functionality (e.g., remembering cookie consent choices).
- Analytics cookies: help us understand how visitors use the site (e.g., Google Analytics), so we can improve content and navigation.
- Advertising cookies: used by Google AdSense and its advertising partners to serve ads and measure their performance, and in some cases to personalize ads based on your browsing activity on this and other sites.
You can manage or withdraw your cookie consent at any time through the cookie banner/settings on this site, or by adjusting your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect site functionality.
4. Advertising: Google AdSense
This site may display advertising served by Google AdSense once the site is approved and monetization is enabled. Google and its advertising partners (including third-party vendors) use cookies — including the DoubleClick cookie — to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- You may also opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
- For EU/EEA/UK visitors, ads are served only after you provide consent through our cookie consent tool, in line with Google’s EU User Consent Policy.
For more information on how Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps, see: How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
5. Legal basis for processing (GDPR – EU/EEA visitors)
Where the GDPR applies, we process your data on the following legal bases:
- Consent — for analytics and advertising cookies, and any optional data you submit (e.g., comments).
- Legitimate interest — for essential site operation, security, and fraud prevention.
You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
6. How long we retain data
- Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely, so we can recognize follow-up comments and manage spam.
- Analytics and advertising cookie data is retained according to the retention periods set by the respective providers (e.g., Google), typically ranging from a few months to a couple of years.
7. Data sharing
We do not sell your personal data. We share limited data with:
- Google (AdSense/Analytics) — for advertising and site analytics purposes, as described above.
- Spam-detection/comment services, if used, to filter comment spam.
- Hosting providers, to operate the website.
We do not share data with third parties for their own independent marketing purposes.
8. Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have the right to:
- Request access to the personal data we hold about you.
- Request correction or deletion of your data.
- Object to or restrict certain processing.
- Request a copy of your data in a portable format.
- Withdraw consent at any time (this won’t affect processing already carried out).
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at ferrantienda001@gmail.com. EU/EEA residents also have the right to lodge a complaint with their local data protection authority; in Spain, this is the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (AEPD).
9. Children’s privacy
This site is not directed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
10. International visitors
This site is operated from Spain but is intended for an international, English-speaking audience, including visitors in the United States and elsewhere. By using this site, you understand that your information may be processed in Spain and other countries where our service providers (e.g., Google) operate.
