Technical and browsing information: IP address, browser, device type, operating system, pages visited, date and time of access, referring URL and similar information generated during use of the website.

Information generated through cookies: browsing preferences, audience measurement information, advertising identifiers and statistical data, depending on the cookies accepted by the user and the services installed on the website.

WorldMythos does not request special-category or highly sensitive personal data through the contact form. Users should not submit health information, financial details, passwords, full identity documents, private religious information or other confidential personal data that is not necessary for the enquiry.

Personal data may be processed for the following purposes:

• Responding to enquiries submitted through the contact form.
• Managing correction requests, content suggestions, copyright notices and reports of technical problems.
• Maintaining the technical security of the website and preventing spam, abuse, attacks or unauthorised access.
• Analysing website performance and improving navigation and content.
• Managing technical, analytical or advertising cookies where applicable.
• Displaying contextual or personalised advertising through providers such as Google AdSense or similar services, where the required consent has been obtained.
• Complying with applicable legal obligations.

The processing of personal data by WorldMythos may be based on the following legal grounds, depending on the specific activity:

• User consent: when the user voluntarily submits a message, accepts optional cookies or authorises a specific form of processing.
• Legitimate interests: where necessary to maintain website security, prevent abuse, manage technical incidents or respond to communications, provided that these interests do not override the rights and freedoms of the user.
• Compliance with legal obligations: where data must be retained, processed or disclosed because of a legal, administrative or judicial requirement.

Where processing relies on consent, users may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

The website provides a contact form through which users may submit questions, correction requests, suggestions, technical reports, copyright claims or other communications related to WorldMythos.

The information submitted through the form will only be used to review the message, respond to the user and manage any necessary follow-up communication.

Contact form data will not be used to send unsolicited marketing communications and will not be sold to third parties.

Users must provide accurate and up-to-date information. WorldMythos is not responsible for problems caused by false, incorrect or incomplete information submitted by the user.

WorldMythos may display advertisements managed by external advertising platforms such as Google AdSense or similar providers. These providers may use cookies, identifiers or equivalent technologies to display advertisements, measure performance, prevent fraud and limit repeated advertising.

Advertising cookies or identifiers that are not strictly necessary will only be used where the applicable legal requirements and consent conditions have been met.

The appearance of an advertisement does not imply that WorldMythos recommends, verifies or guarantees the advertiser, product, service or content displayed.

Any purchase, registration, communication or contractual relationship established between a user and an advertiser is exclusively between those parties.

Further information about cookies and advertising technologies is available in the Cookie Policy.

WorldMythos may use first-party and third-party cookies for technical, analytical, security, personalisation or advertising purposes.

Strictly necessary cookies may be used without consent where permitted by law because they are required for the basic operation, security or functionality of the website.

Optional analytical, personalisation or advertising cookies will be activated only in accordance with the consent choices made by the user.

Users may accept, reject or configure cookies through the options provided on the website and through their browser settings. Further information is available in the Cookie Policy.

Information submitted through the contact form will be retained for the time necessary to respond to the enquiry and manage any subsequent communication relating to the same matter.

Once the enquiry has been resolved, the information may be retained for a limited period where necessary to deal with possible claims, demonstrate compliance or satisfy legal obligations.

Technical data, security records and server logs may be retained for the period reasonably necessary to investigate incidents, prevent abuse, protect the website and comply with applicable legal requirements.

Information associated with cookies will be retained for the period stated in the Cookie Policy or established by the relevant provider, unless the user withdraws consent or deletes the cookies earlier.

WorldMythos does not sell or rent users' personal data.

Certain service providers may have access to limited personal data where this is necessary for the operation of the website. These providers may include:

• Website hosting and server providers.
• Email providers used to receive and respond to messages.
• Website security, maintenance and technical support providers.
• Analytics providers, where the corresponding consent or legal basis applies.
• Advertising providers, where the user has accepted the relevant cookies or another valid legal basis applies.

These providers must process personal data only for the purposes required to provide their services and in accordance with the applicable contractual and legal obligations.

Personal data may also be disclosed where required by law, judicial order, administrative request or where necessary to protect the rights, security or legitimate interests of the website owner or third parties.

Some technology, analytics or advertising providers used by WorldMythos may be located outside the European Economic Area or may process data from countries outside that area.

Where an international transfer of personal data takes place, WorldMythos will seek to ensure that an appropriate legal mechanism applies, such as an adequacy decision, standard contractual clauses or another safeguard recognised under applicable data protection legislation.

Specific information about international transfers carried out by third-party providers may also be available in the privacy policies of those providers.

Users have the right to obtain confirmation as to whether WorldMythos is processing personal data concerning them.

Depending on the circumstances and the applicable legislation, users may exercise the following rights:

• Access: to obtain information about the personal data being processed.
• Rectification: to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Erasure: to request deletion of personal data where the legal requirements are met.
• Objection: to object to certain processing activities based on legitimate interests.
• Restriction: to request temporary limitation of processing in the circumstances established by law.
• Data portability: to receive personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format where this right applies.
• Withdrawal of consent: to withdraw previously granted consent at any time.
• Right not to be subject to certain automated decisions: where a decision produces legal or similarly significant effects and the legal requirements for this right are met.

To exercise these rights, users may write to hola@worldmythos.com, clearly identifying the right they wish to exercise and providing the information reasonably necessary to verify their identity.

Requests will be handled free of charge, except where the applicable legislation permits a reasonable fee or refusal because a request is manifestly unfounded or excessive.

Users may also lodge a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency if they believe that their personal data has been processed in breach of applicable legislation.

Users confirm that the personal information they submit through the website is truthful, accurate, complete and up to date.

Users are responsible for informing WorldMythos of any relevant changes to the information provided where this is necessary for the proper handling of their enquiry.

WorldMythos is not responsible for problems caused by false, outdated, inaccurate or incomplete information supplied by the user.

WorldMythos applies reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access.

These measures may include access restrictions, secure passwords, HTTPS communications, software updates, server security controls and technical monitoring.

However, no Internet-connected system can guarantee absolute security. Users must also take appropriate precautions, such as keeping their browser and devices updated, using secure connections and avoiding the submission of unnecessary sensitive information.

WorldMythos is a general informational website and is not specifically directed at children. The website does not knowingly seek to collect personal data from minors.

In Spain, a minor may generally provide their own consent to the processing of personal data from the age of 14. Where the user is under 14, consent must normally be provided by the holder of parental responsibility or legal guardianship, unless another legal basis applies.

Minors should not submit sensitive information, photographs, identification documents, private family information or other unnecessary personal data through the contact form.

If the website owner becomes aware that personal data has been submitted by a minor without the required authorisation, reasonable steps may be taken to delete the information.

WorldMythos may include links to third-party websites such as museums, libraries, archives, academic publications, cultural institutions, image repositories or other external sources.

This Privacy Policy applies only to WorldMythos. External websites are governed by their own privacy policies, terms of use and cookie policies.

Users should review the privacy information of each external website before submitting personal data or accepting cookies on those services.

WorldMythos does not use personal data submitted through the contact form to make decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal or similarly significant effects for users.

Advertising and analytics providers may carry out automated processing or profiling in accordance with their own services, policies and the consent choices made by the user.

WorldMythos may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in legislation, website functionality, service providers, cookies, advertising systems or data-processing activities.

When significant changes are made, the content and update date shown on this page will be revised.

Users are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically to remain informed about the current version.
