Privacy Policy

Last updated: Thursday, March 6, 2025

At Gesimatic.com, we use analytical tools to improve our services and optimize the user experience. Currently, we employ Matomo Analytics on a self-hosted installation, where data is stored and managed exclusively on our servers without third-party intervention. Additionally, in anticipation of future needs, we have also configured our website for the potential use of Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google.

We have reviewed and adapted our privacy policy to meet new legal requirements and to provide greater transparency regarding the processing of personal data. This ensures full compliance with current data protection regulations.

Carmelo Andrés is responsible for processing personal data of Gesimatic.com users, as well as any data collected through the website. As the administrator of Gesimatic, he is committed to protecting user privacy and ensuring the security of personal data. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information from users of our membership-based services and WordPress plugin distribution.

2. Information We Collect

The personal data you provide is the minimum required to grant access to Gesimatic’s software and services and to comply with legal obligations.

2.1 Data Collected

When registering on Gesimatic and using our software and services, we collect the following personal data:

  • Name (personal or business)
  • Email address
  • Payment details (processed through Stripe)
  • Domains where plugins are installed
  • List of registered plugins per domain

These data are essential for managing memberships and providing technical support.

2.2 Browsing Data

By using this website, the user explicitly agrees to the processing of information collected through cookies. We gather information about user navigation and interactions with our site, including data collected via cookies, always with user consent.

For more information on how we use cookies, please refer to our Cookies Policy.

3. Purpose of Data Collection

The collected data will be stored in a file owned by Carmelo Andrés and will be processed for the following purposes:

  • Managing and administering memberships.
  • Providing technical support and user assistance.
  • Analyzing plugin usage to improve the service through Matomo Analytics (hosted on our private servers) and potentially Google Analytics in the future.
  • Sending emails with news, updates, and relevant communications (email marketing). Users can manage their preferences in their profile settings.

4. Legal Basis for Data Processing

According to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the legal basis for processing personal data is the explicit consent of the user.

Registration and use of Gesimatic’s services require the user to accept this Privacy Policy and the Terms and Conditions of Use.

For more details, please refer to our Terms and Conditions of Use.

5. Data Retention Period

We will process personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which they were collected. Data will be retained for the duration of service provision and subsequently blocked for the legally required periods under tax, commercial, and data protection laws (up to a maximum of 5 years from the user’s last interaction with the platform), after which they will be permanently deleted.

If a user cancels all memberships, they may:

5.1 Retain Consent for Commercial Actions

  • We will continue processing their data for agreed commercial purposes unless they explicitly revoke consent.

5.2 Revoke Consent for Commercial Actions

  • If a user requests data deletion, their data will be blocked and only retained to fulfill legal obligations and defend against possible claims.
  • Once blocked, the data will only be available to meet legal requirements or respond to requests from public authorities, courts, or the Spanish Data Protection Agency in case of legal claims.
  • Data will remain blocked for the legally applicable periods or contractual obligations and will be permanently deleted once these periods have elapsed.

6. Sharing Data with Third Parties

Gesimatic.com ensures that any external provider with access to personal data has appropriate data protection measures in place and, where necessary, subscribes to data processing agreements in compliance with current regulations.

Specifically:

  • Payment Processing: We share data with Stripe to process membership payments.
  • Traffic Analysis: We use Matomo Analytics to analyze user activity without sharing data with third parties. In the future, we may implement Google Analytics, which may transfer data outside the European Economic Area (EEA). To comply with GDPR, Google Analytics (if used) will anonymize user IP addresses to reduce personal identification.

These services have their own privacy policies, which we recommend reviewing.

No further personal data will be shared with third parties unless required by law or when necessary for service provision under a contractual agreement with a data processor.

Carmelo Andrés follows strict selection criteria for data processors and is contractually committed to ensuring compliance with data protection regulations.

Users can manage their preferences regarding cookies and analytics in the privacy settings banner available on the website.

7. Data Storage and Security

To use the membership services, users must provide certain personal data. Carmelo Andrés processes these data automatically and applies appropriate security measures in compliance with GDPR.

User data is stored on a private VPS server managed by Carmelo Andrés and hosted on OVH or AWS. We implement security measures to protect the information, including:

  • Restricted access to databases.
  • Encryption and authentication mechanisms.
  • Security protocols to prevent unauthorized access.

8. User Rights

Users have the right to:

8.1 Data Portability

  • Users may receive their personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.
  • They may also request the transfer of their data to another service provider when technically feasible, provided processing is based on consent or contract execution.

8.2 Rectification and Deletion

  • Users can request confirmation of whether their personal data is being processed.
  • They have the right to access their personal data, request corrections of inaccurate data, or request deletion if data is no longer needed for the original purpose.

8.3 Restriction and Objection

  • Under certain circumstances, users may request limitation of data processing, in which case their data will only be retained for legal claims.
  • Users may also object to data processing based on their specific situation. In such cases, Gesimatic will stop processing unless there are compelling legitimate reasons or for legal claims.
  • These rights can be exercised by contacting Carmelo Andrés at the postal address: Apartado de Correos 260, 46185, La Pobla de Vallbona (Valencia), or via email at info@carmeloandres.com.
  • Users can also manage email subscription preferences in their account settings.
