3. Why

To schedule and teach lessons (including the free trial), manage packs and credits, contact you about bookings, process payments and keep required accounting records, improve the site, and answer requests and authorities. I don't sell your data and don't send advertising without separate consent.

4. Your authorization

By booking or contacting me after being shown this policy, you authorize the processing described here, including the international transfer to the providers listed. Authorization is not required in the cases of Art. 10, Law 1581.

5. Minors

Lessons are for adults (18+). A minor's data must be provided and authorized by a parent or legal representative; otherwise it will be deleted.

6. Your rights

Under Art. 8, Law 1581 you can know, update and correct your data; request proof of your authorization; ask how it was used; revoke authorization or request deletion (unless a legal or contractual duty requires keeping it); access it free of charge; and complain to the Superintendencia de Industria y Comercio (SIC, www.sic.gov.co) after using the procedure below.

Email [email protected]. Inquiries are answered within 10 business days (extendable by 5).

Incomplete claims: I'll ask for details within 5 days; after 2 months without reply the claim is considered withdrawn.

8. International transfers

The providers above may store or process data outside Colombia, mainly in the United States. Each processes data under its own terms and privacy policy.

9. Security and retention

HTTPS, strong passwords and two-factor authentication, access limited to me. Data is kept as long as needed for the purposes and for legally required accounting or tax periods, then deleted or anonymized.

10. Cookies

Your choice is saved in your browser (localStorage), and you can change it at any time with the Cookie settings link in the footer. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings.

11. Changes

Substantial changes will be announced on the site before they apply. The Spanish version of this policy prevails.
