Privacy Policy

At AlphaMode, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose and safeguard your information when you visit our website. Please read this policy carefully. By using the site, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy notice, please do not access the site.

We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you contact us, subscribe to our newsletter or otherwise interact with our services. This may include your name, email address, postal address and any other details you choose to share. We also automatically collect certain information when you visit, use or navigate the site. This information does not reveal your specific identity (like your name) but may include device and usage information such as your IP address, browser type, device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, device name, country, location, information about how and when you use our site and other technical information. This data is primarily needed to maintain the security and operation of our site, and for our internal analytics and reporting purposes.

We use the information we collect to operate and improve the website, develop new content, communicate with you, provide support, analyze how the site is used and deliver advertising and marketing communications that may be of interest to you. When appropriate, we may send you promotional emails or newsletters if you have opted in; you can unsubscribe at any time by using the link in the email or contacting us directly. We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.

Like many websites, we use cookies and similar technologies to collect information. Cookies are small data files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow us to recognize your browser and capture certain information. We use cookies for a variety of purposes, including to keep our site secure, remember your preferences, understand how users interact with our content and measure the effectiveness of advertising. We may also use web beacons, tracking pixels and other tracking technologies to help customize the site and improve your experience. You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings; however, disabling cookies may affect the functionality of the site.

We integrate third‑party analytics services to understand how visitors use our site. These services—such as Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager—collect information about your use of the site and may use cookies or other tracking technologies to provide reports. Google requires that you disclose your use of these services and explain how data is collected and processed. We may also deploy session replay and heat mapping services like Microsoft Clarity to capture how you interact with our pages (for example, clicks, scrolls and mouse movements). According to Microsoft’s recommended wording, Clarity collects behavioral metrics, heatmaps and session replay data using first and third‑ party cookies to improve our products and advertising. Data captured by these analytics tools is subject to the privacy policies of their respective providers. To learn more about how Google and Microsoft handle your information, please refer to their privacy statements.

Advertising, Google AdSense and the DoubleClick DART cookie

Our site displays advertising and participates in affiliate marketing programs. We may use ad networks and partners such as Google AdSense, Taboola or other third parties to serve ads on this site. As required by Google, we disclose the following:

• Third party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our sites and/or other sites on the internet.
• Google uses the DoubleClick DART cookie to serve ads to our users based on previous visits to our site or other sites on the internet.
• Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings, or opt out of a third‑party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting aboutads.info.
• A full list of Google's certified ad-tech partners and details about how they use cookies is available at Google's ad partners page.

If we use Taboola's pixel or similar technologies to measure conversions and optimize campaigns, those services may collect information about your device and interactions with ads. We may also employ marketing and tracking platforms or analytics tools to count impressions and clicks. These tools help us measure performance and improve the relevance of our advertising offerings. Where required by law, including under the ePrivacy Directive and the GDPR for visitors in the EU/UK, we obtain your consent through our cookie consent banner before placing non‑essential advertising cookies on your device. You can change or revoke your choice at any time via the "Cookie preferences" link in the site footer.

Cookie categories

For transparency, we group cookies into the following categories:

• Essential. Required for the site to load and function (e.g., security tokens, the consent record itself). Always on.
• Analytics. Aggregated traffic measurement via providers such as Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity. Off until you opt in.
• Advertising. Personalized ads via Google AdSense and partners, including the DoubleClick DART cookie. Off until you opt in.

You can manage these categories via the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer at any time, or through your browser's cookie settings.

When you click on an affiliate link on our site, a cookie may be placed on your browser to track any purchases made on the merchant’s website. This allows us to earn a commission for purchases made through our links. Affiliate links will not result in additional costs to you. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of third‑party merchants whose products or services are advertised or linked on our site. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any external websites you visit.

We may share your information with service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as website hosting, analytics, advertising, email delivery and customer support. These providers have access to your information only to perform these tasks and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose. We may also share information to comply with applicable laws, respond to legal requests, enforce our policies, protect our rights or protect the rights, property or safety of others. In the event of a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, your information may be transferred to the acquiring entity.

You have choices regarding the data we collect and how it is used. Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, update or delete your personal information, and to withdraw consent for certain data processing activities. You may also have the right to object to the processing of your information for direct marketing purposes. To exercise these rights, please contact us at info@luba.media. You can manage cookies through your browser settings and opt out of personalized advertising as described above. Please note that we may need to retain certain information for legal or administrative purposes or to complete transactions you initiated.

We use administrative, technical and physical safeguards to help protect your personal information. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure; therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security. Should a data breach occur, we will notify affected users in accordance with applicable laws.

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting or other legal requirements). When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it.

Data controller and international transfers

AlphaMode is published by Luba Media, S.L., a company registered in Spain. Luba Media, S.L. is the data controller for personal information processed in connection with this site. The lawful bases on which we process personal data are: (a) consent, where you have opted in to non‑essential cookies or have subscribed to communications; (b) legitimate interests, for site security and aggregated analytics; and (c) compliance with legal obligations, for tax, accounting and regulatory record keeping. You may contact the controller about any of these matters at info@luba.media.

Because some of our service providers (analytics, ad‑tech, hosting) are located outside the European Economic Area, your information may be transferred to and processed in countries — including the United States — whose data‑protection laws may differ from those in your country. We rely on appropriate safeguards, including the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses and the EU‑U.S. Data Privacy Framework where applicable, to protect those transfers.

Your rights under the GDPR (EU/UK visitors)

If you are in the EU, EEA or UK, you have the right to (i) access the personal data we hold about you; (ii) request rectification of inaccurate data; (iii) request erasure; (iv) request restriction of processing; (v) object to processing based on legitimate interests; (vi) data portability; and (vii) withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data‑protection authority — in Spain, this is the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (AEPD) at aepd.es. To exercise any of these rights, email info@luba.media.

Your rights under the CCPA / CPRA (California residents)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), gives you the right to: (a) know the categories of personal information we collect, the sources, the purposes, and the categories of third parties with whom we share it; (b) request access to or deletion of your personal information; (c) correct inaccurate personal information; (d) limit the use of sensitive personal information; and (e) opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information for cross‑context behavioral advertising.

We do not sell personal information in exchange for money. However, the use of third‑party advertising cookies (including those set by Google AdSense and other partners) may be considered "sharing" of personal information for cross‑context behavioral advertising under California law. To exercise your right to opt out of this sharing, you can:

• Click "Reject all" in our cookie consent banner, or open it from the "Cookie preferences" link in the site footer and disable the Advertising category.
• Email us at info@luba.media with the subject "Do Not Sell or Share" and we will action your request without requiring you to create an account.
• Enable a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal in your browser — we honor GPC as a valid opt‑out request from your device.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA/CPRA rights.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements or for other operational reasons. When we post changes to this policy, we will revise the "Effective Date" at the bottom of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information.

If you have questions or comments about this notice, or if you would like to exercise your privacy rights, please contact us at info@luba.media.

Effective Date: May 15, 2026
