1. Introduction

Your personal information is protected, according to this Privacy Policy, when you visit our site and when you sign up to learn Spanish with us. This Privacy Policy applies to the site RememberSpanish.com, and to all digital communcation with us, such as emails, chats, social media and online classes (video or audio conversations). We care about your privacy and use your personal information carefully, according to the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), which is required by law in the European Union. Even if you visit the website from another part of the world, we always respect the strict European data regulations.

2. How we collect your personal information

We only collect personal information that you choose to share with us for a specific purpose. Your email address is the only personal information that we ask for when you register on the site, and we are only allowed to use it for the purposes for which we collect it.

To protect your privacy, all email addresses must be verified before they are added to our email list. Therefore, when you sign up for our newsletter, you must confirm your email address by clicking a button in a confirmation email that we send to you. We will store and use your email address only if you click the confirmation button within 24 hours, to verify that you give us a valid email address, and to prevent others from registering your email address without your consent.

We do not collect unneccessary information without a specific purpose. You don't even have to tell us your name, because we only need an email address to communicate with you. However, if you do decide to share other types of information with us, then that information will also be protected according to this Privacy Policy.

When you communicate with us (written messages, video or audio conversations), we do not collect any personal information from you without your written consent. We do not record your voice or video when you talk with us online.

We do not collect any personal information from you if you visit the site anonymously (without registering your email address).

3. How we use your personal information

We only use your personal information for the specific purposes for which you give us the information. If you email us, then we use your email address only to reply to you, for example, to answer a question. But if you subscribe to our newsletters, then we will use your email address for the purposes that you accept when you sign up, which you are informed about before submitting the registration form.

If you subscribe to our newsletters, then you receive news, learning materials, and offers that we think are useful to learn and remember Spanish. We may email you to ask you how much Spanish you know and what you expect to learn, to be able to give you more personalized content that matches your Spanish level and goals. If you participate in our online classes, then we may also use your email address to send you invitations to the classes, spreadsheets and other teaching aids.

4. We do not share your personal information with others

We do never buy or sell personal information. Collecting your personal data is always based on your consent, which means that we only use your information for the specific purposes to which you give us your consent.

This also means that we do not share your personal information with others, unless you give your consent to share it for a specific purpose. When we email a group of people, then your email address is never visible to the other recipients.

5. How your personal information is stored and protected

To protect your personal information from unauthorized access, we store your personal data carefully on a reliable server. To build and publish this website, we use systeme.io, and the personal data that you share with us is safely stored in their system, according to their Privacy Policy. As your personal data is stored as safely as possible, unauthorized access is very unlikely, and we will always be as careful as possible to protect your personal information.
