Who we are and what this policy covers
CTRL Garquitectos is an editorial site that publishes articles about architecture and design. This policy explains what information reaches our servers when you read, email us, or interact with the site at ctrlgarquitectos.com, why we keep it, who else can see it, and the choices you have.
What comes to us and how
We do not run online stores, analytics trackers, advertising pixels, or newsletter sign-ups on this site. The ways information reaches us are limited to normal web requests, optional comments on posts, and any email you choose to send to our published mailboxes.
Visiting the site (server and CDN logs)
Our hosting and content delivery network keep standard server logs so the site can function and to help us diagnose problems or abuse. These logs typically include your IP address, the date and time of the request, the page or file requested, referrer, and your browser’s user agent. Logs are used for security, debugging, capacity planning, and to understand aggregate traffic patterns without profiling individual readers.
Caching layers may store copies of pages and media to deliver them quickly. They operate at the infrastructure level and may set strictly necessary cookies used to route traffic or balance load. We do not use these systems for behavioral tracking.
Comments on articles
Many posts allow readers to leave a comment. If you choose to comment, WordPress will receive the text you submit along with the name and email address you provide and, in the background, your IP address and user agent. Comments may be held for manual moderation before appearing. If you opt in, WordPress can store your name, email, and website in cookies on your device so you do not have to re-enter them next time.
Email you send us
If you write to one of our published addresses (for example, to ask a question, submit a tip, or request a correction), we will receive the contents of your message and the contact details you include. We use this information to respond and to keep a record of the correspondence. We do not add you to any mailing list.
Site administration accounts
Public registration is closed. Only our editors can sign in. WordPress sets authentication cookies for logged-in administrators so we can manage the site. These cookies are necessary for the service to operate and are not used to track readers.
Cookies and local storage
This site uses only a small set of cookies necessary for its operation:
- WordPress commenter cookies you may opt into when leaving a comment (to remember your details for next time).
- Session and authentication cookies for site administrators.
- Occasional infrastructure cookies set by the hosting or CDN to move traffic efficiently.
Why we keep information
We process the information described above to operate and protect the site, publish and moderate comments, answer messages you send to us, prevent spam and abuse, and comply with legal obligations.
Who can see your information
Within CTRL Garquitectos, only editors who need access to operate the site can see server logs, comment queues, or mailboxes. We share information with our hosting provider and content delivery network so they can provide their services to us. We do not sell personal information and we do not disclose it for advertising.
How long we keep it
Server and CDN logs are kept for a limited period needed for security and operations, then are routinely deleted unless we need to investigate an incident.
Published comments are kept as part of the public record of the site. Comments that are spam or never approved may be discarded during moderation.
Emails you send may be retained as long as needed to handle your request and maintain an editorial record.
Your choices and rights
You can browse the site without leaving a comment or sending us email. Commenter cookies are optional and set only if you opt in when commenting.
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you, to ask us to correct or delete it, to object to or restrict certain processing, or to receive a copy in a portable format. We will honor applicable requests and will ask you to verify your identity where needed. To make a request, email [email protected].
If you believe your data protection rights have been infringed, you may have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. We would appreciate the chance to address your concerns first.
Children’s privacy
Our content is aimed at a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
International transfers
Because we use hosting and content delivery infrastructure, your connection to the site may be routed through servers in countries other than your own. We rely on these services to deliver the site globally and take reasonable steps to limit data to what is necessary for this purpose.
Changes to this policy
If we change how we handle information, we will update this page. Substantive changes will apply going forward from the date of posting.
