1. Legal notice — who we are
This website, spiritcuentos.com, is operated by Milton Maximiliano Himelsbach ("Spirit Cuentos"), residing in Florencio Varela, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina.
Contact: info@spiritcuentos.com
Spirit Cuentos is a publishing project dedicated to creating illustrated Christian children's books (the Sam Explores series), sold through Amazon.
2. Privacy policy
2.1 What data we collect and why
This site only collects data you voluntarily provide:
- Email address — when you subscribe to our newsletter. We use it exclusively to let you know when we publish a new book or important project news. We do not use it for any other purpose, and we never sell it or share it with third parties for commercial purposes.
- Language preference — associated with your subscription so we can write to you in your language (Spanish or English).
If you email us at info@spiritcuentos.com, we will process the data you send only to reply to you.
2.2 Legal basis
The legal basis for processing your email is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), freely given when you complete the subscription form. You can withdraw it at any time (see section 2.5).
2.3 Who processes your data (data processors)
| Provider | Role | Location |
|---|---|---|
| Brevo (Sendinblue SAS) | Subscriber list storage and newsletter delivery | France (European Union) |
| Cloudflare, Inc. | Website hosting, security and content delivery network | USA — certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework |
Both providers act as data processors under Art. 28 GDPR and apply appropriate technical and organizational measures.
2.4 How long we keep your data
Your email is kept for as long as your subscription remains active. If you unsubscribe, you are removed from mailings immediately and your data is permanently deleted from our systems within 30 days.
2.5 Your rights
Under the GDPR (if you reside in the European Union), you have the right to:
- Access the data we hold about you
- Rectify it if inaccurate
- Erase it ("right to be forgotten")
- Object to or restrict processing
- Receive it in a portable format
- Withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing
To exercise these rights, write to info@spiritcuentos.com. You can also unsubscribe directly via the "unsubscribe" link included in every email.
If you reside in the EU and believe our processing violates the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority — in Spain, the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (AEPD), www.aepd.es.
2.6 Children
Our books are for children, but this website is aimed at adults (parents, grandparents and educators). We do not knowingly collect data from minors. If you believe a minor has provided us with data, contact us and we will delete it.
3. Cookie policy
3.1 The short answer: we don't use tracking cookies
This site does not use advertising cookies, personally-identifying analytics cookies, or cross-site tracking. That's why we don't show you the typical cookie consent banner: under the ePrivacy Directive and EU data protection guidelines, the technologies we use are exempt from consent because they are strictly necessary or purely technical.
3.2 Exactly which technologies we use
| Technology | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
Cloudflare technical cookies (e.g. __cf_bm) | Strictly necessary | Site security and bot protection | Under 30 minutes |
localStorage (browser local storage) | Functional | Remembering your language preference and subscription state | Until you clear your browser data |
Site traffic analysis is performed with Cloudflare Web Analytics, a tool that uses no cookies, generates no identifiers and tracks no individuals — it only measures visits in an aggregated, anonymous way.
The site's fonts are self-hosted on our own server (we do not use Google Fonts or other third-party CDNs), so your IP address is never transferred to an external provider when the page loads.
3.3 How to control these technologies
You can clear local storage and cookies from your browser settings at any time. The site will keep working normally (it will simply forget your language preference).
4. Changes to this policy
If we modify this policy, we will update the date shown at the top. Substantial changes affecting how we process your email will be communicated to you by email before taking effect.
