Effective 22 August 2026. This notice covers personal data handled by an editorial desk that writes about Spanish immersion weeks: enquiry mail, the form, and ordinary web serving. Schools and housing providers named in the notes publish their own documents, and those govern any enrolment you make with them.
The desk this notice applies to
This notice describes how the mesetabrief editorial desk (mesetabrief.pro) handles personal information when you read these pages, telephone the desk, or use an enquiry form. It covers the site on this host and the correspondence that follows a message. It does not cover language schools, camps or housing providers named in the articles; each of those is a separate controller, and any enrolment you make with them follows their papers, not ours.
Privacy contact: privacy@mesetabrief.pro, telephone +34 917 246 083, post Calle de Fuencarral 70, 28004 Madrid, Spain. Editorial mail: editorial@mesetabrief.pro.
We are a small editorial operation in Spain. Processing is narrow on purpose: we publish notes, we answer letters, and we keep the smallest record that lets us do both consistently.
Information you give us
From an enquiry form: your name, telephone number, email address, city and dates, any message text, and the fact that you ticked the privacy box. From a phone call: whatever you choose to say. From email: whatever you attach, including a confirmation or a certificate you would like us to read.
From ordinary hosting: technical server logs such as IP address, user agent, requested page and timestamps, kept so the host can stay secure. We do not run advertising trackers, we do not build reading profiles, and we do not try to name people who have not written to us.
Drafts while you type, and the copy after you send
Forms on this site validate in your browser and are not posted to a remote application server. While you type, a draft is written to local storage on your own device so a mistyped field does not erase the rest. After a successful send, that draft is cleared and a local copy of the submitted enquiry is stored on the same device. Those two items live on your computer or phone; they are not a second transmission to us. The on-screen card means the desk has the enquiry to answer. If you want a copy in a sent folder, write directly to the published address as well.
You can skip the form entirely and use email or the telephone. Both are fully effective.
Why we process it, and on what ground
To answer a question about a Spanish immersion week we rely on your consent and on the informal arrangement created when you ask us something. To keep the site available we rely on legitimate interests in security and reliability. To keep a letter that documents a correction we rely on legitimate interests in an accurate published record.
We do not use enquiry contents for automated decisions, and we do not profile readers for advertising. Nothing you send is added to a marketing list unless you have asked for that in so many words.
Who can see a message
Access is limited to the people at the desk who answer mail. Processors are the hosting company that serves the pages and the email provider that carries correspondence. Both act on instructions. Web fonts may be requested from a third-party font service; that request shows your IP address to the provider, as the cookie policy explains.
Enquiry contents stay inside the desk. They are not passed to a school or a language-travel agency. If you ask us to introduce you to someone, we will tell you what we would send before we send it.
Transfers outside Spain
Some processors may handle data outside the European Economic Area. Where that happens, transfers rest on an adequacy decision or on the European Commission's standard contractual clauses, plus the technical measures those clauses expect. If you want the current list of processors, ask and we will name them.
How long we keep a thread
Enquiry correspondence is kept for up to twenty-four months from the last message, long enough to recognise a follow-up about the same fortnight. Host logs last for a short operational window, usually weeks. A letter that documents a published correction is kept for as long as that correction remains relevant to the page.
Anything stored locally by the consent banner or the form remains on your device until you clear site data.
Your rights, and the AEPD
You may ask for access, correction, erasure, restriction and, where it applies, portability. You may object to processing based on legitimate interests, and you may withdraw consent; withdrawal does not undo work already done. Write in your own words to the address in the footer. We do not require a portal.
We answer within one month. If a request is complex we will say so. If you are unhappy you may complain to the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (AEPD), or to the supervisory authority in the country where you live. Regulation (EU) 2016/679 is the framework we work under.
Younger learners
Some notes concern teenage camps, so parents write often. The site is not aimed at children, and we ask that messages about a minor come from an adult. Age bands, levels or dietary notes are treated as sensitive context, kept inside the thread, and not repeated in published copy.
Keeping the record small
Pages travel over encrypted connections. Mail sits in accounts with strong authentication. Access is limited. The most reliable safeguard is still the narrow collection: information that was never taken cannot later be misplaced.
Comments we publish
Learner notes appear with permission, shortened rather than sweetened, and attributed by first name and city unless the writer asks otherwise. If you want a comment removed or further anonymised, write and it will be done.
Articles about named schools process organisational information. We do not publish the name of a private individual who appears in a complaint sent to us.
When this notice changes
If processing changes, this page changes with it. The current text is effective 22 August 2026.
