Linares Language Solutions (“we,” “us,” or “our”) provides language consulting services. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and share personal information when you visit linaresls.com, contact us, or submit an inquiry.

Information We Collect

We collect information you choose to provide when you contact us by email or through our contact form. This may include:

  • your full name;

  • email address;

  • phone number, if you choose to provide it;

  • the contents of your message;

  • documents or files you upload that relate to your request.

We may also collect limited technical information automatically when you visit our website, such as IP address, browser and device information, pages visited, and the date and time of your visit. This information may be collected through Squarespace and cookies or similar technologies.

How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

  • respond to your inquiry and discuss potential consulting services;

  • assess whether we can provide the services you request;

  • communicate with you about your request;

  • maintain the security and functionality of our website;

  • comply with legal obligations and protect our rights.

We do not sell your personal information or use it for automated decision-making.

Legal Basis for Processing

Where the GDPR applies, we process personal information because:

  • you have asked us to take steps related to a possible service agreement;

  • processing is necessary for our legitimate interests in responding to inquiries and operating our business;

  • you have given consent, where consent is required; or

  • processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation.

Documents and Sensitive Information

Please provide only documents that are relevant to your request. Do not submit highly sensitive personal information—such as passport details, government identification numbers, financial account information, health information, or information about another person—unless we have specifically asked you to do so and you have a lawful basis to share it.

How We Share Information

We share personal information only when necessary to operate our website and respond to your inquiry. Our service providers may include:

  • Squarespace, which hosts our website and processes contact-form submissions;

  • Google/Gmail, which we use to receive and respond to email inquiries;

  • Porkbun, which provides our domain-registration and related domain services.

These providers process information under their own terms and privacy practices. We may also disclose information where required by law or when necessary to protect our rights, safety, or security.

International Data Transfers

Our service providers may process information in countries outside your country of residence, including the United States. Where required by applicable law, we rely on appropriate safeguards for such transfers.

Data Retention

We retain inquiry information and uploaded documents only for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to your request, manage a potential or active client relationship, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes, and protect our rights. We securely delete or anonymize information when it is no longer needed.

Cookies

Our website may use essential cookies needed for the site to function, as well as other cookies or similar technologies where enabled. You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Where required by law, we will request consent before using non-essential cookies.

Social Media Links

Our website may include links to social-media platforms. If you choose to visit or interact with those platforms, their own privacy policies apply. We do not control how those platforms collect or use your information.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or a copy of your personal information. You may also have the right to object to or restrict certain processing, withdraw consent, or request data portability.

To exercise a privacy right, contact us at [privacy/contact email]. We may ask for information to verify your identity before responding.

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you may also have the right to complain to your local data-protection authority.

Security

We use reasonable measures to protect personal information. However, no online transmission or storage system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The revised policy will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
