What we measure, in plain English

Costa del Sol Compass is run by Vincent Viitala from Málaga province, Spain. This page explains exactly what happens to your data here. It is short because we collect little.

Analytics that runs for everyone

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count page views and see which guides are read and which sites link to us. It sets no cookies, does not fingerprint your device, and does not collect personal data. Because of that it needs no consent, and there is nothing here to opt out of.

If you email us or use a form

When you send your email address through a form on this site, we use it to reply and, if you asked for it, to send occasional updates when the rules change. We do not sell or rent your address. Every email has a one-click unsubscribe. If you ask us to introduce you to a professional partner (a lawyer, gestor, broker), we only pass on what you have explicitly asked us to pass on.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you can ask what data we hold about you, ask for a copy, ask for it to be corrected or deleted, or object to its use. Email [email protected] and we will handle it within 30 days. You also have the right to complain to the Spanish data protection authority (AEPD).

How this site makes money

Through clearly-labelled partnerships with local professionals and introductions to service providers. Partner placements are marked on the page where they appear, and paid links carry a sponsored attribute. Commercial relationships never decide what a guide says. Read the full editorial policy.
