INTRODUCTION:

Your privacy is important to us, so this document explains what data we collect from users, how we use it and for what purposes, among other points. Anyone over 14 years of age can register as a user without prior consent from their parents, guardians or legal representatives. For anyone under the age of 14 or identified as “legally incapacitated”, we will always require parental consent or that of their guardian or legal representative.

For your information, we will never ask for more information than we actually need for the services required; we will never share it with third parties, except under legal obligation or with prior authorization; and we will never use your data for any purpose not previously indicated.

As a user, you must carefully read this Privacy Policy on a regular basis and whenever you enter your personal data, as this document may be modified. The provider can modify any type of information that may appear on the website to comply with regulations or update the policy, and there is no obligation to advise users in advance of such changes or notify them. Publication on the provider's website is considered sufficient.
