The publisher of bhs.lauttainfo.com is Alberto R., based at Travessera de Gràcia 20, 08024 Barcelona, Spain ([email protected]). Because the publisher is established in the European Union, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) governs how the site handles personal data, and he is its controller. Visitors in The Bahamas are also protected by the Data Protection (Privacy of Personal Information) Act, 2003. The guide itself collects nothing from you: there are no accounts, subscriptions, comment forms or payments.
Personal data comes into play through advertising. The ads are provided by Google AdSense, and Google sets cookies or uses similar identifiers to deliver them, to stop the same ad appearing too often and to measure results; it uses them to personalise ads only if you agree. Spanish law on information society services (Article 22(2) of the LSSI) requires that agreement before such identifiers are stored on your device, and the GDPR treats it as the legal basis for the processing (Article 6(1)(a)). You may withdraw it whenever you wish, opt out of personalised advertising at adssettings.google.com, or have your browser refuse third-party cookies. The site runs no audience analytics today. If that changes, the tool will be Umami, hosted by us, which records only totals and sets no cookies.
Some data is created just by delivering pages. The hosting server and Cloudflare, the network in front of it, log each request with its IP address, browser type, time and the address requested. The logs are needed to keep the site online and to block attacks, and the GDPR allows them on the ground of legitimate interest, Article 6(1)(f). Advertising never draws on them, and they are removed once that work is done.
You can ask what data is held about you, have it corrected or deleted, limit or object to its use, and receive it in a portable form. Write to [email protected]; you will get an answer within one month. When Google or Cloudflare process data outside the European Economic Area, for instance in the United States, they rely on the European Commission's standard contractual clauses or a comparable safeguard.
If you are not satisfied with the answer, you can complain to the Spanish Data Protection Agency (aepd.es), to the supervisory authority in your EU country, or, in The Bahamas, to the Data Protection Commissioner appointed under the 2003 Act. Changes to this notice will be published here.
