Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 21, 2026

Our commitment to transparency: This policy follows the general principles of the main privacy laws currently in effect (EU GDPR, California's CCPA/CPRA, Brazil's LGPD, and equivalent frameworks). We review and update this document periodically together with specialized legal counsel, as our services and applicable regulations evolve across jurisdictions.

1. Who we are

El Diario Digital ("we", "the site") is a digital news outlet operating at eldiariodigital.org. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have over it, regardless of which country you visit us from.

2. What information we collect

Automatic technical data: IP address (used to determine your country and apply the appropriate cookie notice), device type, browser, and pages visited.
Cookies and similar technologies: see our Cookie Policy for full detail.
Data you provide directly: if you subscribe to a newsletter, leave a comment, or contact us, we only collect what you choose to share (e.g. email address).
We do not collect sensitive data (health, ethnic origin, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, etc.) unless you voluntarily share it in a contact form.

3. What we use your data for

Operating and maintaining the site
Understanding which content interests our readers most (analytics, only with your consent where required by law)
Showing the correct language and legal notice type based on your location
Responding to your inquiries if you contact us
Complying with legal obligations

4. Your rights depending on your region

🇪🇺 If you're in the European Union, United Kingdom, or EEA (GDPR/UK-GDPR)

Under the General Data Protection Regulation, you have the right to:

Access: request a copy of the data we hold about you
Rectification: correct inaccurate data
Erasure ("right to be forgotten"): ask us to delete your data
Restriction of processing and objection to processing of your data
Portability: receive your data in a structured format
Withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing
Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority

🇺🇸 If you're in California or other U.S. states with similar laws (CCPA/CPRA, and equivalent laws in Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, among others)

You have the right to:

Know which categories of personal information we collect and for what purpose
Request deletion of your personal information
Opt out of the sale or "sharing" of your personal information for targeted advertising
Not be discriminated against for exercising these rights

Limit the use of sensitive information

To exercise your opt-out right, use the "Do not sell or share my information" link available in the cookie notice or in the footer.

🇧🇷 If you're in Brazil (LGPD — Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados)

You have rights equivalent to those under GDPR: confirmation of processing, access, correction, anonymization, portability, deletion, and information on who we share your data with.

🌎 If you're anywhere else

Regardless of your location, we honor general privacy principles: transparency about what data we collect, data minimization, and the ability to contact us with questions about your information.

5. How to exercise your rights

You can exercise any of the rights above by writing to us at: contacto@eldiariodigital.org. We will respond within the timeframes required by the law applicable to your region (e.g., 30 days under GDPR, 45 days under CCPA).

6. Who we share your information with

We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited technical data with service providers (for example, hosting or analytics), only when necessary to operate the site and always under confidentiality agreements.

7. International data transfers

If your data is transferred outside your region (for example, to servers in another country), we take reasonable steps to ensure an adequate level of protection, in line with mechanisms recognized under applicable law (standard contractual clauses, adequacy decisions, etc.).

8. Minors

This site is not directed at children under 13 (or the applicable minimum age in your country), and we do not knowingly collect information from minors without the parental consent required by law.
