Legal and privacy

Last updated: September 4, 2026

Legal notice

Pirobits is a website edited by Alberto Sola. You can contact the controller through the contact form.

Accessing and browsing pirobits.com implies acceptance of these terms of use. Its content is for informational purposes and reflects the author's experience and opinions; it does not replace professional advice tailored to a specific situation.

Reasonable care is taken to keep information correct and available, but the site cannot guarantee that it is error-free or continuously available. Pirobits does not control or accept responsibility for the content or practices of linked websites.

Intellectual property

Unless stated otherwise, the original text, images, design, and other content on Pirobits belong to Alberto Sola. You may link to the site and quote short excerpts with attribution. Please request permission before reproducing or reusing a substantial part of the content.

Third-party trademarks, names, and content belong to their respective owners and are used only for identification or informational purposes.

Privacy

Alberto Sola is the data controller. You can ask a privacy question or exercise your rights through the contact form.

Only the data needed for each purpose is requested. Personal data is not sold or used to build advertising profiles.

Newsletter

When you subscribe, your email address, the IP address associated with the subscription, and the data needed to demonstrate and manage your subscription are processed. The purpose is to send the newsletter and manage subscriptions, confirmations, and unsubscribes. The legal basis is your consent.

Buttondown manages subscriptions and delivery. Subscriptions require email confirmation, and every message provides an unsubscribe option. Data is kept while the subscription is active and afterwards only where necessary to meet legal obligations or demonstrate consent.

Enquiries

When you use the contact form, your name, email, message, and technical submission data are processed to answer your enquiry and, where applicable, take steps at your request before entering into a contract.

Formspree processes the form. Messages are kept for as long as needed to reply and maintain any resulting relationship, and afterwards for the periods required to address potential liabilities.

Operation and measurement

The server and infrastructure providers may process technical data such as IP address, date, browser, and requested resource to deliver the site, keep it secure, and diagnose errors. This is based on the legitimate interest in operating a secure and reliable service.

Pirobits uses Simple Analytics for aggregate audience statistics without cookies or personal identifiers. Fonts are served through Google Fonts, so the browser makes a technical connection to Google when loading the site.

Providers and international transfers

Buttondown, Formspree, and hosting and infrastructure suppliers act as technology providers. Some may process data outside the European Economic Area and use the safeguards required by law, such as Standard Contractual Clauses, where necessary.

Data may also be disclosed where required by law or where needed to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

Your rights

You may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, or portability of your data, and withdraw consent without affecting processing carried out beforehand. Use the contact form and state that your message is a privacy request.

If you believe your data has not been handled correctly, you may lodge a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency.

Cookies and external services

Pirobits does not use advertising or profiling cookies. Audience measurement uses Simple Analytics, which does not set cookies. Videos are not embedded: YouTube links only open the service when you choose to visit it, at which point its own terms and privacy policy apply.

If a technology requiring consent is introduced in the future, it will not be activated before consent is given, and this information will be updated.

Changes to this information

This page may be updated when the site, its providers, or the applicable requirements change. The date of the current version appears at the top.
