The website thefreedomexperiment.com (the “Site”) is operated by Smartt Messenger S.L., a company incorporated in Spain (“we,” “us,” or “our”). We are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information in connection with your use of the Site.
1. Information We Collect
We do not collect personal data through forms or user accounts on this Site.
When visitors choose to request a free chapter, they are redirected to an external form hosted by Paperform. Through that form, we collect limited personal information, specifically name and email address, which is provided voluntarily by the user.
Like most websites, our servers may automatically process limited technical information (such as IP addresses, timestamps, and browser information) as part of normal website operation and security. This technical data is not used to identify individual users.
2. Purpose of the Site
The sole purpose of this Site is to provide information about a book promoted by Smartt Messenger S.L. and to redirect interested visitors to an external page where they may voluntarily sign up to receive sample chapters.
3. Purpose and Legal Basis of Processing
We process personal data (name and email address) for the sole purpose of sending requested free chapters and related communications.
The legal basis for this processing is the user’s explicit consent, provided at the time of submitting the form. Users may withdraw their consent at any time by using the unsubscribe link in our emails or by contacting us directly.
Where analytics cookies are used, the legal basis for processing is the user’s consent, provided via the cookie consent mechanism.
4. Use of External Services
To deliver free chapters and related materials, we use third-party services:
– Paperform, to host the external form where users submit their information
– MailerLite, to manage email delivery and communications
These service providers process personal data on our behalf and only in accordance with our instructions and applicable data protection laws. Appropriate data processing agreements are in place where required.
We encourage users to review the privacy policies of these providers for additional information.
5. Sharing of Information
We do not sell, trade, or rent personal information.
Personal data submitted via external forms is shared only with service providers (such as Paperform and MailerLite) strictly for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy and subject to appropriate data protection safeguards.
We may receive personal data from third-party services where users have voluntarily submitted their information, and such data will be processed in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.
6. Cookies and Tracking
This Site uses cookies and similar technologies for analytics purposes.
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to understand how visitors interact with the Site and to improve its performance. Google Analytics may collect information such as IP address (with IP anonymization enabled), browser type, device information, pages visited, and usage patterns.
Analytics cookies are used only with the user’s consent. You may accept or reject analytics cookies through the cookie consent banner displayed when you first visit the Site. You may also withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting your cookie preferences or through your browser settings.
For more information about how Google processes data, please refer to Google’s Privacy Policy.
We have configured Google Analytics to anonymize IP addresses and to minimize data collection where possible.
Google Analytics may involve the transfer of data to countries outside the European Union. Where such transfers occur, appropriate safeguards are implemented in accordance with applicable data protection laws, such as standard contractual clauses.
7. Data Security
Although no personal data is collected or stored directly on this Site, we have implemented security measures such as HTTPS and server-level backups to protect the integrity of the Site and any indirect interactions.
8. Data Retention
We retain personal data collected via external forms only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected (such as sending free chapters and related communications), or until the user withdraws consent, whichever occurs first. Data may be securely deleted or anonymized thereafter.
9. Your Rights
Under applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right to request access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, portability, and to withdraw consent in relation to your personal data.
These rights apply to personal data you provide via third-party services linked from this Site, as well as any limited technical data processed by the Site. You may exercise your rights by contacting us using the details below, or directly through the relevant third-party service.
For any inquiries, you may contact us at hello@thefreedomexperiment.com.
10. International Users
This Site is operated in Spain. If you access it from outside Spain, please note that personal data may be processed in connection with analytics cookies or when you choose to provide your information via external services, in accordance with this Privacy Policy and the applicable policies of those service providers.
11. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect legal, technical, or business changes. The updated version will always be posted on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date.
