Privacy policy

Last updated 2026-08-08

Who is responsible

Nil Masferrer Jiménez, an individual publisher located in 08310 Argentona, Barcelona, Spain, operating https://thedemandcharge.com. Contact: [email protected].

The publisher is established in Spain, so this site is operated under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation 2016/679) and Spanish Organic Law 3/2018 on data protection and digital rights, regardless of where a reader is.

What is collected, and why

Reading the site

Nothing is required of you to read anything here. There is no account, no registration, no paywall and no email capture.

Analytics

Google Analytics 4 is used to count page views and understand which articles are read. It only loads after you have accepted analytics cookies. Until you accept, Google Consent Mode v2 is set to denied in the head of every page, before any tag can run, and no analytics cookie is written.

What is processed: pages viewed, approximate location derived from IP at country or city level, device and browser type, referring site. IP anonymization is enabled. No attempt is made to identify an individual reader, and the site does not upload any user-provided data to Analytics.

• Legal basis: your consent (GDPR art. 6(1)(a)).
• Processor: Google Ireland Limited.
• Retention: as configured in the Analytics property, and no longer than 14 months.
• Withdraw at any time using Cookie settings in the footer.

Advertising

Display advertising through Google AdSense is planned but is not currently running on this site. When it is switched on, this section will describe the processing before the first ad is served, and consent for advertising purposes will be collected through a consent management platform certified against IAB TCF v2.2, as Google requires for readers in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland.

Advertising can involve personalization based on browsing behavior. Rejecting it does not remove the advertising; it removes the profiling behind it.

The contact form

If you write through the contact form, the message, the name and the email address you supply are transmitted through Web3Forms, which relays them to the publisher's mailbox. They are used to answer you and for nothing else. They are not added to any list, because there is no list.

• Legal basis: your request, as steps taken at your request prior to a possible engagement, and the publisher's legitimate interest in answering correspondence (GDPR art. 6(1)(b) and 6(1)(f)).
• Processor: Web3Forms.
• Retention: correspondence is kept while it is useful and deleted when it is not, and in any case within two years of the last message.

You can always write directly to [email protected] instead, which involves no third-party form processor at all.

Hosting and server logs

The site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare processes connection data — IP address, request time, user agent — to serve pages and to protect against attack. This is technically necessary to deliver a website to you.

• Legal basis: legitimate interest in operating and securing the service (GDPR art. 6(1)(f)).
• Processor: Cloudflare, Inc., under its data processing terms.

Fonts

Typefaces are served from Google Fonts, which means your browser makes a request to a Google server and Google receives your IP address as part of it. If you would rather avoid that, a content blocker will stop the request and the site will render in your system's default fonts without any loss of content.

What is not done

• No profiles are built for the publisher's own purposes.
• No data is sold. There is nothing to sell.
• No automated decision-making with legal or similarly significant effects.
• No special category data is collected, ever.
• The site is not directed at children under 16 and does not knowingly collect their data.

International transfers

Google, Cloudflare and Web3Forms may process data outside the European Economic Area, principally in the United States. Those transfers rely on the European Commission's adequacy decision for the EU-US Data Privacy Framework where the recipient is certified under it, and otherwise on Standard Contractual Clauses.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you can request access to your data, correction, erasure, restriction of processing, portability, and you can object to processing based on legitimate interest. Where processing rests on consent, you can withdraw it at any time without affecting what was lawful before.

Write to [email protected]. A reply is due within one month.

If you are not satisfied, you can complain to the Spanish supervisory authority, the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos, or to the authority in your own country of residence.

Cookies

Changes

Material changes to this policy will be reflected in the "last updated" date at the top. If a change alters what is done with data already collected, notice will appear on the site before it takes effect.
