Privacy Policy
Last updated: 23 October 2026.
This English translation is provided for information only. In case of any discrepancy, the Spanish version shall prevail.
At Home and History we respect your privacy. This policy explains what data we process, why, for how long and what rights you have, in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) and Spanish Organic Law 3/2018 (LOPDGDD).

- Address: Calle Algazul, 27, 04007 Almería, Spain

2. What data we process

- Order data: products, amounts, purchase and return history.
- Your conversations with us through the contact form, by email or on WhatsApp.

We do not process special categories of data (health, beliefs, ethnic origin, etc.). We do not store your card details: payment is handled directly by PayPal or the relevant payment provider.
3. Why we use it and on what legal basis
| Purpose | Legal basis |
|---|---|
| Managing your order: payment, delivery, invoicing, warranty and returns | Performance of the sales contract (Art. 6.1.b GDPR) |
| Managing your customer account | Performance of the contract (Art. 6.1.b GDPR) |
| Answering your enquiries by form, email or WhatsApp | Your request and pre-contractual steps (Art. 6.1.b GDPR) |
| Meeting our tax and accounting obligations | Legal obligation (Art. 6.1.c GDPR) |
| Analysing website use through analytics cookies | Your consent (Art. 6.1.a GDPR), which you can withdraw at any time |
| Protecting the website and preventing fraud | Legitimate interest (Art. 6.1.f GDPR) |
We do not currently send marketing emails or newsletters. If we do so in the future, we will ask for your consent first.
4. How long we keep it
We keep your data for 18 months from our last interaction with you (your last order or enquiry), unless you ask us to delete it sooner. After that period we delete it, except for data we must keep by law, such as invoices and accounting records, which are kept for 6 years as required by Spanish commercial law. Cookies are kept as described in the Cookie Policy.
5. Who we share it with
We do not sell your data. We only share it with providers that help us deliver our service and act on our instructions:
- PayPal, to process payments.
- DSV, the carrier that delivers your order.
- OVH, our website hosting provider, with servers in the European Union.
- Google (Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager), for web analytics, only if you accept the relevant cookies.
- WhatsApp (Meta), if you choose to contact us through that channel.
We may also disclose data to public authorities where required by law, for example the Spanish Tax Agency.
6. International transfers
Some of these providers, such as Google, Meta or PayPal, may process data outside the European Economic Area. In those cases, the transfer relies on appropriate safeguards: the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or the standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission.
7. Your rights
You may exercise your rights of access, rectification, erasure, objection, restriction of processing and portability at any time and free of charge, and withdraw any consent you have given. Write to info@homeandhistory.com or to the postal address in section 1, stating which right you wish to exercise. We may ask you to prove your identity.
If you believe we have not handled your request properly, you can lodge a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency (www.aepd.es).
8. Minors
Our website is not aimed at children under 14. If you are under 14, you need your parents' or guardians' consent to give us your data.
9. Security
The website uses an SSL certificate, so your data is transmitted encrypted. Access to personal data is restricted to the people who need it to handle your order or enquiry.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy to reflect legal changes or changes to our services. The current version will always be published on this page, with its update date.
