Last updated: 6 July 2026

1. INTRODUCTION AND LEGAL AND REGULATORY FRAMEWORK

This Privacy Policy and Comprehensive Cookie Statement sets out in detail the processes for the collection, storage, processing, analysis, protection and use of personal data collected from users, advertisers, contributors and visitors who access the Buenisísimo digital platform, which can be accessed via the main URL https://buenisisimo.com.

Our organisation operates with an unwavering commitment to transparency and legality, rigorously aligning all our data processing workflows with the legal framework of the European Union. This includes, but is not limited to, strict compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons), as well as the national provisions of Organic Law 3/2018 of 5 December, on the Protection of Personal Data and the Guarantee of Digital Rights (LOPDGDD), and Act 34/2002 of 11 July on Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce (LSSI-CE).

Accessing, browsing or using any of the interactive sections of this Platform automatically confers the status of user and implies an unequivocal understanding and acceptance of the terms set out in this policy.

3. COMPREHENSIVE BREAKDOWN OF DATA CATEGORIES AND PURPOSES BY SECTION

Buenisísimo does not collect data indiscriminately. All information processed adheres to the principle of data minimisation, requesting only those fields that are technically essential to carry out the activity the user is performing within each section of the platform:

A. «Living in Sitges» section (Premium Advanced Recruitment, Advice and Relocation Form) When a user actively interacts with the contact form in order to plan their residential or corporate relocation to Sitges, specific details are collected for commercial management purposes. These details include: the applicant’s first name and surname, telephone number (landline or mobile, including the automatic registration of international dialling codes), a valid email address, and a list of tick boxes where the applicant specifies their specific logistical requirements. These requirements cover the application for or allocation of a Foreigner’s Identity Number (NIE), technical assistance with opening current accounts at local financial institutions, a personalised search for and identification of properties on the rental or purchase market, the processing and taking out of general insurance policies (health, third-party liability, payment protection or home insurance) and the registration, cancellation or change of account holder for essential public utilities such as electricity, drinking water and natural gas.

  • Purpose of the processing: The information is processed for the sole purpose of assessing the technical and commercial feasibility of the request submitted by the user, establishing a direct channel of communication to address their initial queries, drawing up personalised service proposals, preparing detailed cost estimates and, should the request be accepted, coordinating the practical implementation of the tasks entrusted to us.

  • Retention period: The data will remain blocked or active within the system whilst pre-contractual discussions are ongoing and, should the contract be formalised, for the entire duration of the contractual relationship and for the subsequent years required by Spanish tax and commercial law in order to meet any potential legal liabilities of an administrative or judicial nature.

B. «Explorar» Business and Leisure Directory (Advertiser Management and Local Business Listings) To ensure the smooth operation of the directory, which focuses on recommending and promoting local businesses (such as restaurants, cafés, bars, hotels, tourist services and local shops), the Platform processes two distinct data streams:

  • Details of the owner or person placing the advert: We collect the full name of the manager or representative of the business, the company’s customer service telephone number, the internal management email address, the exact physical address of the premises for geolocation purposes on interactive maps, tax identification details (NIF/CIF), direct links to their social media profiles or external websites, photographic or audiovisual material of their premises, and a detailed textual description of the services or menus they offer. The purpose is to manage the registration, editing, technical maintenance and publication of the listing in the directory, as well as to process the relevant payments or subscriptions where premium advertising plans are available.

  • Directory Visitor User Details: We automatically log the searches carried out, the filters applied, the IP address used to connect, the exact date and time of access, and server performance data. The purpose of this process is purely statistical, to ensure IT security by detecting patterns of fraud or automated attacks, and to optimise the relevance of search results in order to provide an intuitive experience similar to that offered by major international metasearch engines.

C. «Discover Sitges» Editorial and News Blog» The section dedicated to publishing features, cultural guides, event calendars and useful tips on life in Sitges has public comments on articles completely disabled. As there are no text boxes or interactive discussion threads, readers of our blog do not provide any direct identifying information such as names, usernames or email addresses linked to posts. Data processing in this section is limited exclusively to the automated collection of anonymous browsing metadata obtained by the web server, with the aim of monitoring readership figures, identifying the most popular articles and correcting any loading errors or broken links within the website’s architecture.

4. LEGAL BASIS FOR THE PROCESSING OF YOUR DATA

The processing of personal data carried out by Buenisísimo is strictly based on the following legal grounds set out in Article 6 of the GDPR:

  1. The Data Subject’s Express and Unambiguous Consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR): By voluntarily ticking the box confirming acceptance of the legal notices included in the «Living in Sitges» contact form or in the registration forms for the «Explore» directory, and by submitting the form, the user grants free, specific and informed consent for us to process their data for the purposes described. This consent may be withdrawn at any time without retroactive effect.

  2. The Implementation of Pre-Contractual Measures or the Performance of a Contract (Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR): Where the information provided by the user is intended directly to request a detailed relocation quote or to subscribe to an advertising package within the business directory, the legal basis is the processing of such commercial measures prior to the signing of a formal contract.

  3. The data controller’s legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR): Applicable to the recording of technical logs, security IP addresses and server audits, with the primary aim of safeguarding the integrity of the Platform against cyber-attacks, spam, identity theft and unauthorised access.

5. POLICY ON RECIPIENTS, DISCLOSURE AND INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

Buenisísimo adheres to a policy of absolute confidentiality regarding its users’ personal information. The sale, rental, commercial exchange or unauthorised transfer of any database to third-party marketing companies, external advertising agencies or organisations outside our field of activity is strictly prohibited.

The personal information collected will only be shared or made accessible in the following two legal circumstances:

  • Data Processors under a Technical Agreement: Companies providing essential technology services that are necessary for the website to function correctly. This includes our web hosting provider, the developers of the form storage system (such as the WordPress Flamingo plugin) and cloud security infrastructure providers. All of them have data processing agreements in place, signed in accordance with Article 28 of the GDPR, ensuring that they operate using servers located within the European Economic Area (EEA) or in countries with an equivalent level of protection recognised by the European Commission.

  • Strict Legal Obligation: In the event that a formal request, court order or official summons is received from the State Security Forces and Authorities, the competent courts and tribunals, or the tax and data protection supervisory authorities, Buenisísimo will disclose only the information strictly required in accordance with applicable legislation.

6. DATA SUBJECTS’ ARCO-POL RIGHTS AND CONTROL OVER THEIR INFORMATION

European legislation guarantees citizens full and ongoing control over their personal data. Buenisísimo users may exercise the following rights recognised by the GDPR at any time, completely free of charge and without any administrative hurdles:

  • Right of Access: It enables users to find out whether we are processing their personal data and, if so, to obtain an exact copy of that data, together with detailed information on the purposes of the processing and the retention periods.

  • Right to Rectification: It enables the data subject to immediately correct any data within our systems that is inaccurate, incorrect, out of date or incomplete.

  • Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten): This allows you to request the permanent deletion of all your personal data from our databases when the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, consent is withdrawn, or the processing is deemed unlawful.

  • Right to Restrict Processing: This allows you to request the temporary suspension of data processing whilst the accuracy of an objection is verified, or where you would prefer us to keep your data blocked rather than deleted, in order to make or defend claims.

  • Right to Object: You have the right to object to us processing your personal data on grounds relating to your particular situation or where the purpose is direct marketing.

  • Right to Data Portability: This allows you to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, so that you can transfer it directly to another service provider.

To exercise any of these rights, the user must submit a formal written request by sending an email to info@buenisisimo.com or by post to the Data Controller’s address. The request must include the first name and surname of the data subject, a clear description of the right they wish to exercise and, for the sole purpose of verifying their identity beyond doubt and preventing unauthorised access to their data by third parties, a scanned copy of their identity document (valid national identity card, foreign resident identity number or passport). If the user considers that their privacy rights have been infringed or disregarded, they have the right to lodge a formal complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD) via its official online portal.

7. COMPREHENSIVE STATEMENT AND TECHNICAL BREAKDOWN OF COOKIES

Our Platform uses data storage and retrieval mechanisms on users’ devices, commonly known as cookies, as well as similar tracking technologies (analytics scripts and tracking pixels). These text files are downloaded to the user’s browser when they access certain web pages in order to collect basic technical information about their browsing patterns.

A. Classification of Cookies according to their Purpose and Impact on Privacy:

  • Technical and Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are essential for enabling the user to navigate the website and use the various options or services available on it. These cookies manage data traffic, identify the user’s session, allow access to restricted areas (such as the directory’s advertiser control panel), remember the details entered in a form submission, or manage security variables to prevent fraud. As they are vital to the functioning of the site, the law permits their automated use without the need for prior consent.

  • Personalisation and Preference Cookies: These are cookies that store information so that the user can access the service with certain features that may make their experience different from that of other users. Examples of this include the selected language, the number of results to be displayed when carrying out a search in the «Explore» directory, the website’s visual appearance depending on your browser, or the region from which you are accessing the portal.

  • Analytics Cookies (Optional): These are cookies which, whether processed by us or by third parties (such as Google Analytics, a service provided by Google LLC), enable us to accurately quantify the number of unique users visiting the website and to carry out a comprehensive statistical analysis of how visitors use the content. To this end, we analyse your browsing behaviour on our website in order to improve our range of products, services and blog articles, and to optimise the technical usability of the interface. These cookies are installed solely and exclusively if the user actively accepts them via the consent banner.

B. Cookie Management and Withdrawal of Consent by the User:

Users retain at all times the inalienable right to configure their web browser to accept or reject the installation of all or some cookies, or to request the deletion of those that have already been stored on their hard drive. The procedures for managing, blocking and deleting cookies vary depending on the software used; specific instructions can be found on each provider’s official support channels:

  • Google Chrome: Settings menu -> Privacy and security -> Cookies and other site data.

  • Mozilla Firefox: Settings menu -> Privacy and Security -> Cookies and site data.

  • Apple Safari: Preferences menu -> Privacy -> Block all cookies or manage site data.

  • Microsoft Edge: Settings menu -> Cookies and site permissions -> Manage and delete cookies.

Disabling or completely blocking secondary analytics cookies will in no way prevent you from browsing the blog’s content or submitting advice forms. However, completely restricting technical session cookies could impair your ability to access the editing sections of the business listings in the «Explore» business directory.
