Do We Sell Your Personal Data?

We do not sell personal data in exchange for money or share personal data with advertisers.

We use service providers such as Google Analytics and our web hosting provider to help us understand website visits and operate the Site. These services process information only as necessary to provide their services and according to their applicable terms and privacy practices.

We do not knowingly sell personal data to data brokers or disclose personal data to third parties for their own unrelated direct marketing purposes.

Data Retention

We retain analytics data, contact form submissions, and comment data, if applicable, for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described above, or as required by law, after which it is deleted or anonymized.

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal data, including CDN-level security and bot mitigation through Cloudflare. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children’s Privacy

This Site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If we learn we have collected such data, we will delete it.

Your U.S. Privacy Rights

Roughly twenty U.S. states now have their own comprehensive privacy laws, each with its own applicability threshold based on revenue, traffic volume, or data-sale activity.

We extend the rights below to all U.S. residents as a matter of company policy, regardless of which state’s law technically reaches us. Where a specific state imposes a stricter or additional requirement, we’ve called it out separately below so the baseline doesn’t quietly fall short of the strictest applicable standard.

Rights we provide to all U.S. residents:

  • Access — Confirm whether we process your personal data and access it.
  • Correction — Request correction of inaccurate personal data.
  • Deletion — Request deletion of personal data we’ve collected.
  • Portability — Request a copy of your personal data in a portable format.
  • Opt-out — Opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal data, targeted advertising, and profiling used for decisions with legal or similarly significant effects.
  • Non-discrimination — We will not deny service, charge different prices, or provide a different quality of service because you exercised any of these rights.

Sensitive data. We will not process sensitive personal data without your opt-in consent, and — matching Maryland’s stricter standard — we do not sell sensitive personal data under any circumstances, opt-in or not.

How to Exercise Your Rights: Submit a request via lena@aldanaferrergarcia.com. We will verify your identity before fulfilling a request. We will respond within 45 days of receipt, with one 45-day extension where reasonably necessary. If we decline your request, you may appeal by [appeal process], and we will respond to your appeal within 60 days.

Additional Rights for California Residents

The California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the CPRA (the “CCPA”), gives California residents rights beyond the nationwide baseline above.

Note on applicability: This section is provided regardless of whether we’ve independently confirmed that the CCPA’s statutory thresholds apply to us.

  • Right to know the specific categories and sources of personal data we collect, and our purposes for collecting it.
  • Right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal data, including for cross-context behavioral advertising, and out of automated decision-making technology (ADMT) that produces legal or similarly significant effects.
  • Right to limit the use of sensitive personal information.

“Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link. [Action item: this link needs to route to a working opt-out mechanism before it appears on the live site — an unhonored opt-out link is the single most common basis for CPPA enforcement actions.]

Enforcement context (informational, not a promise on our part): California is the only state on this list with a private right of action allowing consumers to sue directly over certain data breaches, and it has a dedicated regulator — the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) — that has actively pursued businesses over non-functional opt-out mechanisms.

Multi-State Privacy Rights

Residents of certain U.S. states may have additional rights regarding their personal data under applicable state consumer privacy laws.

This section applies, where and when the relevant law applies to us, to residents of Alabama, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, and Virginia (collectively, the “Covered States”).

Your Rights Under UK Data Protection Law

If you are located in the United Kingdom, UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018, and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) — as amended by the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 — give you the following rights.

  • Access, rectification, erasure, restriction, and objection to the processing of your personal data.
  • Data portability, where technically feasible.
  • Rights around automated decision-making, including human review where legitimate-interest processing is used for such decisions.
  • The right to lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at any time, independent of contacting us first.

International Data Transfers

Our servers and service providers (including Google and Cloudflare) may process personal data in the United States and other countries outside your home country.

Where required, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (for EEA-originating transfers) and the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) as the legal mechanism for transferring personal data internationally.

Do Not Track

Some browsers allow users to send a Do Not Track signal.

Because there is currently no universally accepted standard for responding to these signals, Aldana Ferrer Garcia may not respond to every Do Not Track request automatically.

Visitors can still manage cookies and tracking preferences through their browser settings and any privacy controls available on the site.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our website, services, technology, or legal obligations change.

When significant changes are made, the Last Updated date at the top of this page will be revised.
