Principles applied to the processing of data
When processing your personal data, the Owner applies the following principles, which meet the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation:
- Principle of lawfulness, fairness and transparency: the Owner will always seek consent for the processing of personal data, which may be for one or more specific purposes about which the User will be informed beforehand with complete transparency.
- Principle of data minimisation: the Owner will request only the data strictly necessary for the purpose or purposes for which they are requested.
- Principle of storage limitation: the Owner will keep the personal data collected for no longer than is strictly necessary for the purpose or purposes of the processing, and will inform the User of the retention period applicable to each purpose. In the case of subscriptions, the Owner will review the lists periodically and delete records that have been inactive for a considerable period of time.
- Principle of integrity and confidentiality: the personal data collected will be processed in a manner that guarantees their security, confidentiality and integrity. The Owner takes the necessary precautions to prevent unauthorised access to, or misuse of, its users' data by third parties.
Collection of personal data
You do not need to provide any personal data in order to browse the Website.
The cases in which you do provide your personal data are the following:
- When you get in touch through the contact forms or by sending an email.
- When you post a comment on an article or a page.
- When you voluntarily subscribe to the newsletters or request the download of free materials offered on the Website or in the Owner's books, by providing your name and email address.
Rights
The Owner informs you that, in relation to your personal data, you have the right to:
- Exercise your right of access to the data stored.
- Request their rectification or erasure.
- Request the restriction of processing of your data.
- Exercise your right to object to the processing.
- Request data portability, that is, to receive the data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, or to ask that they be transmitted directly to another data controller where this is technically feasible.
- Withdraw your consent at any time, without this affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out before its withdrawal.
The exercise of these rights is personal and must therefore be exercised directly by the data subject, by submitting a request to the Owner. Any customer, subscriber or collaborator who has provided their data at any time may contact the Owner and ask what data are held about them and how those data were obtained, request their rectification, object to the processing, restrict their use or request their erasure.
To exercise your rights, simply send your request to info@altamentesensible.com, stating which of them you wish to exercise. Where there are reasonable doubts about the identity of the person making the request, the Owner may ask for the additional information necessary to confirm it, and solely for that purpose.
The exercise of these rights does not extend to any data that the Owner is required to retain for administrative, legal or security purposes.
You have the right to an effective judicial remedy and to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority, in this case the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (the Spanish Data Protection Agency), if you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the Regulation.
Purposes of the processing of personal data
When you connect to the Website to send an email to the Owner, write a comment on an article or a page, or subscribe to the newsletter, you are providing personal information for which the Owner is the data controller. This information may include data such as your IP address, first name and surname, postal address, email address, telephone number and other data. By providing this information, you consent to its being collected, used, managed and stored on the terms described in this policy.
The personal data and the purpose of the processing carried out by the Owner differ according to the method used to collect the information:
- Contact forms: the Owner requests personal data which may include first name and surname, email address, telephone number and website address, for the purpose of responding to Users' enquiries. For example, the Owner uses those data to reply to messages, questions, complaints, comments or concerns relating to the information contained on the Website, to the processing of personal data or to the legal notices, as well as to any other enquiry the User may have.
- Comment forms: the Owner requests personal data which may include first name and surname, email address and website address, for the purpose of responding to Users' comments.

Purpose and legal basis of subscriptions. The data provided when you subscribe are processed in order to send you the material requested and to send you communications about the Owner's publications. The legal basis is your consent, which is obtained expressly by means of an unticked box. That consent may be withdrawn at any time, with no need to give reasons, through the unsubscribe link included in every communication or by writing to info@altamentesensible.com. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out beforehand. The Owner keeps a record of the date and of the exact wording accepted by each subscriber.

Publishing imprints and data controller
Zen Books and Zen Editorial de Ciencia y Bienestar LLC are the imprints under which the Owner publishes and distributes his works, and they are the names that may appear in commercial communications and in the footer of emails. The data controller for the personal data collected through the Website is the Owner, whose identification details are set out at the beginning of this policy.
Data processors and international transfers
The email marketing service is contracted through Wild Mail, a brand of Wild Audience S.L., a company domiciled in Spain and an official distributor of ActiveCampaign, which acts as a data processor and whose team operates from within the European Union.
The platform relies on sub-processors that cover different layers of the service. The data associated with your subscription, that is, the contact data, the automations and the content of the campaigns, are hosted in the ActiveCampaign, Inc. data centre located in Frankfurt, Germany. Wild Mail's own infrastructure, comprising the platform and the relaying of messages, is hosted with Amazon Web Services EMEA SARL (Luxembourg).
ActiveCampaign, Inc. is a company domiciled in the United States, and its multi-region hosting policy provides that, even where the account is hosted in the European region, data may occasionally be processed outside the European Economic Area in order to provide customer support, to investigate security incidents, and by its own sub-processors wherever those sub-processors operate. Those occasional processing operations constitute international transfers, covered by the adequacy decision for the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, to which ActiveCampaign, Inc. adheres, and, failing that, by the standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission.
As part of that service, the platform processes the subscriber's name and email address, an internal contact identifier, their IP address, their approximate location by country and city, any additional fields the subscriber has provided and the content of the communications sent.
