Privacy policy

Above Catalonia is operated by Kotiki Ltd (“we”, “us”), trading as part of the Catalonia media network. Our registered office is at 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, WC2H 9JQ, UNITED KINGDOM.

This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and protect personal information when you visit Above Catalonia or contact us.

Information you provide: when you subscribe to a newsletter, send a contact message, or otherwise reach out, we may collect your name, email address, and the content of your message.

Technical data: like most websites, we automatically receive standard server and device data such as IP address, browser type, referring pages, and approximate location derived from IP.

Cookies and similar technologies: we may use cookies or local storage for essential site operation, analytics, advertising measurement, and remembering preferences where applicable.

To operate and improve the site, answer enquiries, send newsletters you opted into, measure traffic and content performance, and show advertising where inventory is configured.

We do not sell your personal information. We may share data with service providers who process it on our instructions (for example hosting, analytics, email delivery, CAPTCHA, and advertising partners).

Where UK GDPR / EU GDPR applies, we rely on one or more of: consent (for example newsletter signup or non-essential cookies), legitimate interests (operating a secure, useful publication), and contractual necessity where you request a specific service.

We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purposes above, including legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Contact-form messages are retained for a reasonable period to handle follow-up, then deleted or anonymised.

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data, and to object to certain processing or withdraw consent. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details on our Contact page.

You may also lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority (in the UK, the Information Commissioner’s Office).

Our service providers may process data outside the UK/EEA. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses or equivalent mechanisms.

The site is aimed at a general adult audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe we have done so, please contact us so we can delete it.

We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of the page will change when we do. Continued use of the site after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised policy where permitted by law.

For privacy questions, contact Kotiki Ltd at the office address above or via the Contact page on this site.
