Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 22, 2026. This policy explains what personal data Balcony Sun Lab (https://www.balconysunlab.com) collects, why, and the choices you have. It is written for visitors in the United States and the United Kingdom.
Who is responsible
The site is operated by David Álvarez González, Valencia, Spain ("we"). Contact for privacy questions: hello@balconysunlab.com.
What we collect
- Technical data from our hosting provider. Like every website, our host processes your IP address, browser type and the pages you request in order to deliver the site and protect it from abuse. These logs are kept for a short period.
- Emails you send us. If you contact us, we use your email address and message only to reply, and delete them when no longer needed.
- Advertising data (when ads are active). We use Google AdSense to show ads. Google and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies to show ads, measure them and, where you allow it, personalise them based on your visits to this and other sites.
Our calculator runs entirely in your browser: the numbers you enter are not sent to us.
Why we use it (UK GDPR legal bases)
- Hosting and security logs: our legitimate interest in running a secure website.
- Replying to messages: our legitimate interest in answering you.
- Advertising cookies: your consent, collected through the consent message shown to visitors in the UK and the European Economic Area. You can change your choice at any time with the "Privacy choices" link in the footer.
Advertising and Google
Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet. You can learn how Google uses data at How Google uses information from sites that use its services, and opt out of personalised advertising in Google Ads Settings.
Your rights in the UK
You can ask to access, correct or delete your personal data, object to or restrict its use, and withdraw consent at any time. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).
Your rights in US states
Depending on where you live (for example California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia and other states with privacy laws), you may have the right to know what personal information we process, to delete or correct it, and to opt out of "sale" or "sharing" of personal information for targeted advertising. We do not sell personal information for money. Advertising cookies may count as "sharing" under some state laws; you can opt out using the "Privacy choices" link in the footer, your browser's Global Privacy Control signal, or Google Ads Settings. Email us to exercise any other right; we will not discriminate against you for doing so.
Children
This site is not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 in the UK), and we do not knowingly collect their data.
International transfers
Our hosting and advertising providers may process data in the United States and other countries, under the safeguards those providers offer, such as the UK International Data Transfer Addendum or the UK-US data bridge.
Changes
We will update this page if our practices change and show the new date at the top. More detail about cookies is in our cookie policy.
