Privacy Policy
Last updated: 9 October 2026
This policy explains what personal data we collect when you sign up on thedivona.com, why we collect it, and what rights you have. We keep it short and use only what we need.
Who we are
Divona, run by its founders in Barcelona, Spain, is responsible for your data (the "controller" under the EU General Data Protection Regulation, GDPR).
Contact for anything about your data: thedivona@gmail.com
What we collect
When you sign up for news and updates, we collect:
- your full name
- your email address
- your Instagram handle, if you choose to give it
- the date and time you signed up, and that you gave consent
We don't use cookies, analytics or advertising trackers on this website. Like every website, our hosting provider automatically records basic technical data (such as your IP address and browser type) in server logs to keep the site running and secure.
Why we use it
- To send you news and updates from Divona by email: new letters, new stories and what we're working on.
- To recognise you if you contact us or connect with us on Instagram, if you shared your handle.
Our legal basis is your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you give by ticking the box on the sign-up form. You can withdraw it at any time.
Who can see it
Only the founders of Divona. We never sell or rent your data. We use a small number of service providers to run the site and store sign-ups:
- Google (Google Sheets, through our Google account), where the sign-up list is stored.
- Our website host, which serves the website and keeps the server logs described above.
- If we later move our list to an email newsletter service, we'll update this policy to name it.
Some of these providers may process data outside the European Economic Area. When they do, they rely on legal safeguards approved under the GDPR, such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.
How long we keep it
We keep your details for as long as you're signed up. If you unsubscribe or ask us to delete your data, we remove it from our list within 30 days.
Your rights
You can ask us at any time to:
- see the data we hold about you
- correct it
- delete it
- stop emailing you (withdraw consent)
- restrict or object to how we use it
- receive a copy of it in a common format
Write to thedivona@gmail.com and we'll reply within one month. If you're unhappy with how we handle your data, you can also complain to the Spanish data protection authority, the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (aepd.es).
Age
Our sign-up is meant for people aged 16 and over.
Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top. For important changes, we'll let subscribers know by email.
