Privacy Policy

Last Updated: March 12, 2026

1. Introduction & Controller Identity

This Privacy Policy explains how ATG COMPUTER S.L. (“ATG COMPUTER S.L.”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal data when you visit our website at atgcomputer.com and when you interact with our educational programs, course information, and contact channels. We serve participants throughout Canada with technology education and digital skills training. We are committed to transparent data practices, responsible handling, and clear explanations about your choices.

Data Controller: ATG COMPUTER S.L., Av. de Alberto Alcocer, 38, Chamartín, 28016 Madrid, Spain. Contact email: [email protected]. For privacy inquiries, you may contact us using this email address. We do not appoint a Data Protection Officer at this time; privacy responsibilities are managed by our senior operations team.

Scope: This policy covers personal data processed through our website and communications relating to technology education, including course inquiries, enrollment interests, and resource downloads. It applies to visitors and participants located in Canada and other regions. Where the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR/UK GDPR) applies, we act as the controller of your personal data for the activities described here.

2. Personal Data We Collect

We collect only the information necessary to deliver educational content, respond to inquiries, and operate our site. Categories of data include:

• Identity and contact information: name, email address, and phone number that you provide through our contact form or communications.
• Enrollment context: selected course or service, learner goals, organization name (if applicable), and free‑text messages you submit.
• Technical information: IP address, device and browser type, operating system, language settings, and basic system identifiers collected through server logs and essential cookies for site operation and security.
• Usage information: pages visited, on-site navigation, date/time stamps, and referrer data. These may be processed in aggregate to understand website performance.
• Cookies and identifiers: essential cookies to keep the site functioning; optional analytics and marketing identifiers if you grant consent (see Section 4).
• Conversion events: non-sensitive events such as submitting the contact form or requesting course information, recorded to measure website effectiveness.

We do not intentionally collect special categories of data (for example, health information, political opinions, religious beliefs), financial account numbers, or government identifiers through this website. Please avoid including sensitive personal information in free‑text fields.

3. Why We Process Personal Data & Legal Basis

We process personal data for the following purposes and legal bases under GDPR/UK GDPR Article 6:

• Responding to inquiries and providing pre‑contract information about courses and services: Article 6(1)(b) performance of a contract or steps prior to entering into a contract; Article 6(1)(a) consent where required.
• Providing educational communications you request (for example, program guides or schedules): Article 6(1)(b) and, where applicable, Article 6(1)(a).
• Analytics to understand site usage and improve content: Article 6(1)(a) consent.
• Marketing and remarketing, where enabled by your consent: Article 6(1)(a) consent.
• Security, fraud prevention, and service integrity (for example, rate limiting and log review): Article 6(1)(f) legitimate interests.
• Legal, tax, and regulatory compliance: Article 6(1)(c) legal obligation.

Automated Decision‑Making: We do not engage in automated decision‑making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects within the meaning of GDPR Article 22.

4. Cookies & Similar Technologies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to operate the site, remember preferences, analyze performance, and—if you consent—support advertising relevance. You can manage your choices at any time using the “Manage cookie preferences” link in the footer or the cookie banner.

Cookie categories used on this site:

• Essential (no consent required): enable core functions such as page navigation, session continuity, and security protections. Examples include: _site_session (session continuity) and cookie_consent (stores your choice).
• Analytics (consent): help us understand which pages are visited and how the website performs. We use Google Analytics 4 with IP anonymization. Examples: _ga (2 years) and _ga_XXXXXXXXXX (2 years; GA4 property ID placeholder).
• Marketing (consent): support advertising relevance and measure the effectiveness of our ads. Examples: _gcl_au (Google Ads, 90 days), _fbp (Meta Pixel, 90 days), and _fbc (90 days when click ID is present).

Retention periods for analytics and marketing cookies are controlled by the third parties named above. You can withdraw consent at any time through our cookie preferences panel; withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal. Disabling analytics or marketing cookies may reduce measurement precision but will not affect access to educational content on the site.

5. Consent and Regional Considerations (Canada, EU/UK)

Canada: We follow principles consistent with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). We obtain your consent for the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information except where not required by law. For commercial electronic messages, our practices are aligned with Canada’s Anti‑Spam Legislation (CASL). You may withdraw consent for non‑essential communications or cookies at any time using our cookie panel or by contacting us at [email protected].

EEA/UK: Users in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom receive a consent notice for analytics and marketing cookies. Analytics and marketing cookies activate only after explicit consent. We store your preference in the cookie_consent cookie for up to 12 months. You can revisit choices via “Manage cookie preferences” or by clearing cookies in your browser.

6. Sharing with Service and Advertising Partners

We do not sell personal data. We share limited data with trusted service providers strictly to deliver our website and measure its effectiveness. Recipients include:

• Infrastructure and security providers (for example, content delivery networks and hosting vendors) for threat detection, caching, and uptime.
• Analytics and advertising vendors, where consent allows (for example, Google Analytics 4, Google Ads, and Meta advertising services) to analyze usage and support advertising relevance.
• Operational support providers (for example, email delivery and form processing vendors) to route inquiries and confirm receipt.
• Professional advisors (legal, tax, or compliance) where reasonably necessary to meet legal obligations.

These providers may process cookie identifiers, device information, page views, conversions, and audience membership signals according to the consents you choose. They are contractually restricted from using site data for their own independent commercial purposes.

7. International Data Transfers

Where personal data is transferred outside your jurisdiction (for example, to the United States), we rely on appropriate safeguards. For EEA/UK data, these may include the EU‑US Data Privacy Framework (and UK Extension), or Standard Contractual Clauses (EU 2021/914) and the UK International Data Transfer Addendum, as applicable. We apply proportional technical and organizational measures to protect data during transfer and storage.

8. Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy or as required by law. Typical periods include: contact submissions for up to 2 years from last interaction; analytics event data for up to 14 months; marketing identifiers for the cookie’s stated lifetime; email correspondence for the duration of the relationship plus 1 year; server logs for approximately 90 days; and consent records for up to 3 years to support audit requirements. Legal and tax documents may be retained longer where law requires.

9. Your Rights

GDPR/UK GDPR: Subject to conditions and exceptions, you may have the right to request access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and to object to certain processing. You can also withdraw consent at any time for processing based on consent (such as analytics or marketing cookies). To exercise rights, contact [email protected]. We will respond without undue delay, typically within 30 days, and may extend timelines for complex requests as permitted by law. You may lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.

Canada (PIPEDA): You may request access to your personal information held by us and seek corrections where information is inaccurate or incomplete. You can also inquire about our use and disclosure of your data and our policies for data handling. Contact us at [email protected] to submit a request.

10. Children’s Privacy

Our website and educational services are intended for general audiences and are not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16. If we discover that a child has provided personal information without verifiable parental consent, we will delete that information promptly.

11. Do Not Track

Some browsers transmit “Do Not Track” signals. Our website does not respond to these signals. Analytics and marketing technologies operate only with your explicit consent through the cookie preferences panel.

12. Account & Data Deletion Requests

We do not operate user accounts on this website. To request deletion of personal information provided via forms or emails, contact [email protected] with the subject “Data Deletion Request.” We will verify identity and complete requests within 30 days where feasible, retaining only the minimum necessary records required by law.

13. Business Transfers

If ATG COMPUTER S.L. undergoes a corporate transaction such as a merger, acquisition, asset sale, financing, or insolvency event, personal data may be transferred to a successor entity subject to this Privacy Policy or a policy with materially similar protections. We will provide a notice on our website if material changes to data use occur.

14. California Privacy Notice (CCPA/CPRA)

Categories disclosed in the past 12 months (as defined by California law) include: identifiers (name, email, IP address), internet and network activity (page views, interactions), and inferences (interests based on site usage for advertising). We do not “sell” personal information as defined by CCPA; we may “share” personal information for cross‑context behavioral advertising where you provide consent. California residents may exercise rights to know, delete, correct, and opt‑out of “sharing.” Use the cookie preferences panel to adjust advertising settings and email [email protected] to submit a verifiable request. We do not discriminate against individuals for exercising these rights. Authorized agents may submit requests with written permission and identity verification.

15. Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA)

Virginia residents may have rights to access, correct, delete, and obtain a portable copy of personal data, and to opt out of targeted advertising. We do not sell personal data as defined by the VCDPA and do not engage in profiling producing legal or similarly significant effects. Submit requests by emailing [email protected]. If we decline a request, you may appeal by emailing us with the subject “Appeal of Refusal — Privacy Request.” We will respond to appeals within 60 days. Unresolved concerns may be directed to the Office of the Attorney General of Virginia.

16. Nevada Notice

Nevada residents may submit a verified request to opt out of the sale of personal information by emailing [email protected] with the subject “Nevada Do Not Sell Request.” We do not currently sell personal information under Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 603A.

17. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. Material changes will be announced via a notice on our homepage at least 14 days before the new policy takes effect, unless immediate changes are required by law. The “Last Updated” date at the top of this page reflects the latest revision.
