Effective date: October 1, 2026
Marie de Caba respects your privacy.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect personal information when you visit mariedecaba.com, contact us, or subscribe to our updates.
It covers the public website and related enquiries. It does not cover data processing within the private collector app or the collector registry.

2. Information we collect
Information you provide
When you contact us or use a website form, we may collect your name, email address, message, and any other information you choose to provide, including your interest in particular editions or collections.
When you subscribe to updates, we collect your email address, any name you provide, and records of your subscription and consent.
Please avoid including sensitive personal information in messages unless it is necessary for your enquiry.
Information collected automatically
Our website and its service providers may collect technical and usage information, including:
browser, device, and network information;
IP address;
pages visited, clicks, and other website interactions;
timestamps and referring pages;
information needed to detect spam, abuse, or security threats.
Squarespace hosts this website and processes visitor information to deliver, secure, and support it, and to provide website analytics.
We also use Google Analytics to understand website activity, including traffic sources, pages visited, interactions, and approximate geographic location. Its use of non-essential cookies is subject to the consent requirements described below.
3. How we use your information
Where the General Data Protection Regulation applies, we rely on the following legal bases:
Enquiries: Our legitimate interest in receiving and responding to messages. When an enquiry concerns a possible purchase, processing necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a contract may also apply.
Subscriptions: Your consent to receive news about Marie de Caba, artworks, original songs, collections, and editions.
Website operation and security: Our legitimate interest in maintaining a reliable website and preventing spam, abuse, or unauthorized access.
Optional cookies and analytics: Your consent where required by applicable law.
Legal and administrative matters: Compliance with legal obligations, or our legitimate interest in establishing, exercising, or defending legal claims.
Contacting us does not automatically subscribe you to marketing emails.
You may withdraw consent at any time. This does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
4. News and updates
If you subscribe, we use your email address to send the updates you requested.
You can unsubscribe through the link in each marketing email or by contacting marie@mariedecaba.com.
We may retain a limited suppression record to respect your choice and prevent further marketing emails.
5. Cookies and analytics
We use cookies and similar technologies to support website functions, remember preferences, protect the website, and understand visitor activity.
Essential cookies support functions such as security and consent preferences. Non-essential cookies include those used for optional analytics and third-party tracking.
Where consent is required, non-essential cookies must remain disabled until you accept them. You may decline them and later change or withdraw your choice through the website’s cookie controls.
You can also manage cookies through your browser settings, although blocking essential cookies may affect some website functions.
6. Service providers and sharing
We do not sell your personal information.
We use service providers for website hosting, forms, email delivery, storage, analytics, and security. These include:
Squarespace, for website hosting, forms, and website analytics;
Google Analytics, for website usage analysis;
Squarespace Email Campaigns, for subscriptions and email updates.
Contact submissions may be stored in Squarespace and delivered to our email account. Email providers process messages to enable delivery and storage.
Providers may process data on our behalf or, for certain activities, under their own responsibility. Squarespace, for example, also processes some technical visitor information as an independent controller under its own Privacy Policy.
We may also disclose information to professional advisers or competent authorities when necessary to meet legal obligations or establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
7. Embedded content and third-party services
The website may contain embedded media, such as YouTube videos, and links to external websites or social platforms.
Embedded services may receive technical information and use cookies when their content loads or when you interact with it. Where consent is required, embedded content that uses non-essential tracking must remain blocked until consent is given.
External websites and platforms process information under their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review those policies before using their services.
8. International transfers
Our service providers may process information outside Spain or the European Economic Area, including in the United States.
Where European data protection law applies, transfers must be covered by a valid legal mechanism, such as an applicable adequacy decision or Standard Contractual Clauses, together with any additional safeguards required.
You may contact us for information about the safeguards applicable to your data and, where relevant, how to obtain a copy.
9. How long we keep information
We retain personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy:
Enquiries: For the time needed to respond, handle follow-up correspondence, and manage the resulting relationship.
Subscriptions: Until you unsubscribe or the mailing list is discontinued, subject to limited retention of consent and suppression records.
Technical and analytics information: For the retention periods configured in the relevant services.
Legal records: For any period required by applicable law or necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
Retention depends on the purpose, the nature of the information, and any applicable legal requirements.
10. Your rights
Depending on applicable law, you may have the right to:
access your personal information;
correct inaccurate information;
request deletion;
restrict processing;
object to processing based on legitimate interests;
receive eligible data in a portable format;
withdraw consent;
complain to a competent data protection authority.
You may object to direct marketing at any time.
To make a request, contact marie@mariedecaba.com. We may request information reasonably necessary to verify your identity.
If you are in Spain, you may lodge a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD). In other European Economic Area countries, you may contact your local supervisory authority.
11. Children
This website and its collector enquiries are intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us so that we can review and, where appropriate, delete it.
12. Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure.
No website, email system, or online service can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
