At PBZ Guide we only process the personal data that is strictly necessary. This policy complies with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) and Spanish Organic Law 3/2018 on the Protection of Personal Data and Guarantee of Digital Rights (LOPDGDD).
1. Data controller
- Controller: FAQ Box, owner of PBZ Guide.
- Contact: contact form (choose the reason “Privacy and data protection”).
2. What data we process and why
| When | Data | Purpose | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Contact form | Name or alias, email address and message | Answering your question or report | Your consent (art. 6.1.a GDPR) |
| Browsing | Technical data (IP, browser) in the server logs | Security and operation of the site | Legitimate interest (art. 6.1.f GDPR) |
3. Cookies and browser storage
PBZ Guide does not use advertising or analytics cookies, or third-party tracking tools. We only use what is essential for the website to work and to remember your preferences. None of this is used to identify you or sent to our server.
| Name | Type | What it is for | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| cookie_notice_accepted | First-party technical cookie | Remembering whether you accepted or rejected the cookie notice, so it isn’t shown on every page | 6 months if you accept; 1 month if you reject |
| pbz-mapa-v1 | Local storage | Saving the markers you tick off and the layers you choose on the interactive map | Until you clear your browser data |
| pbz-trofeos-… | Local storage | Saving your progress in the platinum guide’s trophy tracker | Until you clear your browser data |
| pbz-creador | Local storage | Remembering the last build you put together in the build creator | Until you clear your browser data |
Local storage works like a cookie, but the data stays on your device and isn’t sent with every visit. If you reject cookies, the website works just the same; you’ll only see the notice again later.
YouTube videos load from youtube-nocookie.com and only when you press play; until then no Google cookie is set.
If you log in to the WordPress dashboard (editorial team only), WordPress uses its own session cookies.
How to delete them: you can delete cookies and local storage from your browser’s privacy settings, under site data or history.
4. How long we keep the data
Form messages are kept for as long as needed to answer you and for one year at most. Technical logs are deleted periodically according to the hosting configuration.
5. Recipients
We do not sell or share your data. Only the providers that serve us as data processors have access to it: the web hosting and the email service through which we receive the form messages. Some of these providers may be outside the European Economic Area; in that case, the transfer is covered by adequacy decisions or by the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses.
6. Your rights
You can exercise your rights of access, rectification, erasure, objection, restriction of processing and portability at any time, and withdraw your consent, by writing to us through the contact form.
If you believe we have not handled your request properly, you can file a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD).
7. Minors
If you are under 14, do not send us personal data without your parents’ or guardians’ consent.
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy to adapt it to legal or site changes. The date of the last review appears at the bottom of the page.
