Sharing Your Information

We keep your data within our organization whenever possible. Sometimes we need to work with trusted partners who help us deliver services. These third parties only process data according to our instructions and under strict agreements.

Service Providers We Work With

Cloud hosting providers for our website and learning platform infrastructure
Payment processors for secure transaction handling (they don't share full payment details with us)
Email service providers for course communications and updates
Analytics tools to understand how visitors use our website

All providers meet European data protection standards. When services involve data transfer outside the EU, we ensure adequate safeguards through Standard Contractual Clauses or other approved mechanisms.

We will disclose information only when legally required — such as responding to valid court orders or protecting rights and safety. We'll notify you about such requests unless prohibited by law.

Your Privacy Rights Under Spanish and EU Law

You have significant control over your personal data. Spanish residents enjoy strong protections under both GDPR and national legislation. Here's what you can do:

Access and Portability

Request a copy of all personal data we hold about you. We'll provide this in a structured, commonly used format within 30 days. If you want to transfer your data to another service, we'll help make that happen.

Correction and Updates

Found something wrong or outdated? Let us know and we'll fix it. You can update most basic information directly through your account settings once enrolled.

Deletion and Erasure

You can request deletion of your personal data in most circumstances. We'll honor this unless we have a legal reason to keep certain records — like financial documentation we're required to maintain for tax purposes.

Restriction and Objection

Ask us to limit how we process your data, or object to processing based on legitimate interests. For example, you can opt out of marketing communications anytime while still receiving essential course updates.

Withdraw Consent

When we process data based on your consent, you can withdraw it whenever you want. This won't affect any processing that happened before you withdrew consent.

How to Exercise Your Rights:

Email contact@clovariotromelid.com with your request. Include enough detail for us to locate your information and verify your identity. We typically respond within one month, though complex requests might take a bit longer.

If you're not satisfied with how we handle your request, you have the right to file a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency (Agencia Española de Protección de Datos - AEPD) or your local supervisory authority.

Data Security Measures

We take protecting your information seriously. Our security approach combines technical safeguards with organizational policies to prevent unauthorized access, loss, or misuse.

All data transmitted between your browser and our servers uses TLS encryption
Database access is restricted to authorized personnel only, with individual access logs
Regular security audits and updates to our systems and software
Staff training on data protection principles and handling procedures
Secure backups stored in encrypted format with access controls
Incident response procedures if we detect any security concerns

While we implement strong protections, no internet transmission is completely secure. Use strong passwords for your account and don't share login credentials. Contact us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access.

How Long We Keep Your Data

We don't keep information longer than necessary. Retention periods depend on the type of data and legal requirements:

Course enrollment records: Maintained for 6 years after program completion to verify credentials and provide transcripts
Financial records: Kept for 10 years as required by Spanish tax law
Marketing consent data: Retained until you withdraw consent or for 3 years of inactivity
Website analytics: Aggregated data retained indefinitely, individual data deleted after 26 months
Contact form inquiries: Deleted 2 years after your last interaction with us
Course materials and assignments: Available during your program plus 1 year, then archived or deleted

When retention periods expire, we securely delete or anonymize data so it can't identify you. Some statistical information might be kept in anonymous form for research and improvement purposes.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies — small text files stored on your device. They help the site function properly and give us insights about usage patterns. You control cookie settings through your browser, though blocking some types might affect functionality.

International Data Transfers

We primarily store data within the European Economic Area. Some service providers operate globally, which might involve transferring your data outside the EU. When this happens, we ensure appropriate safeguards:

Using providers with EU-US Data Privacy Framework certification where applicable
Implementing Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission
Conducting transfer impact assessments to verify adequate protection
Monitoring ongoing compliance with data protection obligations

Children's Privacy

Our programs target adults and professionals. We don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 16 without parental consent. If you're under 16 and interested in our courses, please have a parent or guardian contact us to discuss enrollment.

If we discover we've collected data from a child without proper consent, we'll delete it promptly. Parents can contact us to review, modify, or delete their child's information.

Changes to This Policy

We review and update this privacy policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The "Last Updated" date at the top shows when we last revised the document.

Significant changes will be communicated through email to enrolled students or a prominent notice on our website. We encourage you to review this policy occasionally to stay informed about how we protect your information.

Third-Party Links

Our website might link to external sites or resources relevant to game development education. We're not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties. When you leave our site, we recommend reading the privacy policy of any website you visit.
