1. Hello and Welcome
Hi, I’m Luis D. Torres. Welcome to Movaterra. My work connects people and ideas from all over the world—from manufacturing hubs in Asia to resource economies in Latin America and regulatory centers in Europe. Because my audience is global, I believe your privacy should be protected regardless of where you are browsing from. Whether you are visiting from London, Santiago, New York, or Tokyo, this policy explains—in plain English—how I collect, use, and respect your data.
My Global Promise:
I do not sell your data.
I apply the high security standards of the UK & EU GDPR to all visitors.
You are in control of your information.
2. What Information Do I Collect?
I collect two types of information: information you give me and information that is collected automatically.
Information You Give Me
When you use the Contact Form, sign up for a newsletter, or email me directly, you are voluntarily sharing personal data. This typically includes: Your Name, Your Email Address, Professional details (like your company or job title) if you include them.
Information Collected Automatically
When you browse Movaterra, the technology behind the website collects technical data to help the site run smoothly. This happens in the background and includes:
Device Info: Whether you are on a phone or laptop, and which browser you use.
Usage Data: Which articles you read and how long you stayed.
Approximate Location: A rough estimate of your city/country based on your IP address (e.g., “User visiting from Chile”).
Note: This technical data is anonymised. It does not tell me who you are, just how the site is being used so I can improve it for everyone.
3. How I Use Your Information
I use your data for three logical reasons:
To Respond to You: If you write to me, I need your address to write back.
To Improve the Site: I analyze traffic patterns to see which research topics are resonating globally.
To Stay in Touch: If you subscribe to updates, I will send you newsletters or research findings.
I process your data based on Consent (e.g., you agreed to cookies) or Legitimate Interest (e.g., keeping the website secure).
4. Who Else Sees Your Data?
I do not sell, trade, or rent your personal data to anyone. However, I use trusted global service providers to keep this website running. These include:
Google Analytics: To understand website traffic.
CookieYes: To manage your consent preferences.
Hosting Providers: To store the website’s data securely.
These providers may process data in the United States or Europe. I ensure they are bound by strict confidentiality agreements and data protection laws.
5. A Note on International Data Transfer
The internet is global, but I this website is hosted in the United Kingdom. If you are visiting from outside the UK/Europe (for example, from Brazil, China, or the US), please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the UK or on servers in other countries. By using the website, you acknowledge that your data will travel across borders. However, I ensure it travels safely by using providers that adhere to strict international data security standards.
6. Your Rights (No Matter Where You Live)
Data privacy laws vary by country. However, I believe everyone deserves the same level of respect. Therefore, I extend the core rights of the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) to all my visitors globally:
Access: You can ask to see what data I hold about you.
Deletion: You can ask me to delete your personal data (“Right to be forgotten”).
Correction: You can ask me to fix incorrect information (like a wrong email address).
Opt-Out: You can unsubscribe from emails or revoke cookie consent at any time.
7. Cookies
I use “cookies” (small text files saved on your device) to make the site work.
Strictly Necessary: Essential for the site to load.
Analytics: Helps me see where in the world visitors are coming from.
You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the “Cookie Settings” button on the site.
