Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2024

1. Overview

This Privacy Policy describes how SpainClimate ("the site") handles information in connection with your use of this website. The site is a static informational resource. It does not collect, store, or process personal data through any server-side mechanism. No user accounts exist, and no databases are maintained.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

SpainClimate does not collect:

  • Names, email addresses, or contact details submitted through the contact form — the form operates client-side only and transmits nothing
  • IP addresses through any server-side logging mechanism controlled by this site
  • Location data, device identifiers, or browsing histories
  • Payment or financial information of any kind

3. Cookies

This site uses a single first-party cookie, stored in your browser's localStorage under the key cookie_consent, to record your response to the cookie consent banner. This value is:

  • Stored only on your own device
  • Not transmitted to any server
  • Used solely to avoid showing the consent banner on repeat visits

No third-party analytics cookies, advertising cookies, or tracking pixels are used on this site. No external analytics scripts are loaded.

You can clear this stored preference at any time by clearing your browser's local storage for this domain, or by using your browser's built-in privacy tools.

4. External Links

This site contains links to external websites including AEMET, Wikipedia, Climate-Data.org, and Wikimedia Commons. Clicking these links takes you away from SpainClimate. The privacy practices of those sites are governed by their own policies, not this one.

Images displayed on this site are loaded directly from Wikimedia Commons servers (upload.wikimedia.org). When your browser loads these images, your IP address is transmitted to Wikimedia Foundation's servers. Wikimedia Foundation's privacy policy applies to this data: foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Privacy_policy.

5. Hosting and Server Logs

Like all websites, this site is hosted on a web server. Web servers typically log technical information such as IP addresses, request timestamps, and file paths in standard server access logs. If this site is hosted on a third-party hosting provider, that provider's privacy policy governs how server logs are handled. SpainClimate itself does not access or process these logs for user tracking purposes.

6. Your Rights

Since SpainClimate does not collect or store personal data, there is no personal data held about you that could be subject to access, deletion, or correction requests. If you have questions about data handling, you may contact us using the form on the About page.

7. Changes to This Policy

This policy may be updated from time to time. Changes will be noted by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
