Welcome to our Privacy Policy for Spanish Learning Website. At Spanish NOW EDU, we value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how we ensure it remains safe while you engage in our Spanish learning platform.
Who We Are
Our website address is: https://spanishnow.org. Spanish NOW EDU is an educational platform designed to help learners around the world study Spanish through interactive exercises, cultural content, and curated learning tools.
What Personal Data We Collect and Why
Comments
When visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.
An anonymized string (hash) from your email may be sent to the Gravatar service to display your profile picture. You can read Gravatar’s privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy.
Media
If you upload images to the website, avoid including location data (EXIF GPS), as visitors may download and extract it.
Forms and Subscriptions
When you fill out contact forms or subscribe to updates, we may collect your name and email address. This helps us respond to your inquiries and send relevant updates about new exercises, blog posts, or learning tools — only if you opt-in.
Cookies
We use cookies to improve your experience on our site. For example, if you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name and email in cookies for convenience. Login and editing cookies are also used, as outlined in the default WordPress behavior.
Embedded Content
Some pages may include embedded content (e.g., videos, social media posts, articles) from other sites. This behaves as if you had visited those sites directly and may include tracking.
Advertising and Affiliate Links
Spanish NOW EDU may display third-party advertisements or use affiliate links to support the availability of free educational resources. These ads may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver content tailored to your interests.
We currently work with advertising partners such as Google AdSense. These partners may collect certain data (such as your IP address or device type) to serve relevant ads. For more information on how Google uses your data, please visit:
