Collection of personal data
You do not need to provide any personal data in order to browse https://www.javiertorices.com.
You do provide personal data in the following cases:
- When you write through the contact form.
- When you request information about a commission through the form on the Commissions page.
- When you subscribe to the news newsletter.
- When you send an email directly to the Owner.
Purpose of the processing of personal data
The data requested and the purpose for which it is processed differ depending on the form:
- Contact form. Your name and email address are requested, both mandatory, and optionally your telephone number and the content of your message. Purpose: to reply to your enquiry — about available work, commissions, exhibitions or press — and to maintain any correspondence arising from it.
- Commissions form. Your name and email address are requested, both mandatory, and optionally the content of your message. Purpose: to deal with your commission request, inform you about the working process and maintain any correspondence arising from it.
- Newsletter subscription form. Only your email address is requested. Purpose: to send you the newsletter with the update on available work and the latest from the blog The gaze. Your address is not used for any other communication.
In addition, the Owner processes personal data for the following purposes:
- To analyse users’ browsing. The Owner collects non-identifying data by means of cookies, whose characteristics and purpose are detailed in the Cookie Policy. This processing only takes place if you accept analytics cookies in the cookie banner.
- To ensure compliance with the conditions set out in the Legal Notice and with applicable law.
Legal basis for processing
The legal basis for processing your data is your consent, in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. You give it by ticking the relevant box on each form and, in the case of analytics cookies, by accepting them in the cookie banner.
Each purpose has its own consent, independent of the others: subscribing to the newsletter is not a condition for writing to the Owner or requesting a commission, and writing to him does not subscribe you to the newsletter.
You may withdraw your consent at any time, without this affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before its withdrawal. You will find how to do so in the Right of withdrawal section.
Categories of personal data
The categories of personal data processed by the Owner are:
Identifying and contact data: name, email address and, if you choose to provide it, telephone number.
The content of the messages you send through the forms or by email.
Non-identifying browsing data obtained through cookies, if you accept them.
No special categories of personal data are processed.
Retention of personal data
Contact enquiries and commission requests: kept for as long as the correspondence lasts and, once concluded, for the period necessary to address any liabilities arising from it.
Newsletter subscription: your address is kept until you unsubscribe, which you can do at any time using the link included in every issue. The Owner also reviews the lists periodically and deletes records that remain inactive for a considerable time.
Sign-up record: the record of your subscription — date, source and confirmation — is kept for as long as the subscription lasts and for the limitation period of any possible liabilities, as evidence of the consent you gave.
In any event, your data will be kept until you request its erasure.

- Website maintenance and development. The Owner uses an external provider for the development, maintenance, updating and technical support of the website, established in Spain. These tasks involve access to the data held on it — in particular the messages received through the forms and the newsletter sign-up record — solely in order to carry out those tasks on the Owner’s behalf and under his instructions. It does not process the data for any purpose of its own, nor disclose it to third parties. You may request its identity by writing to info@javiertorices.com.
- Newsletter — Brevo (Sendinblue SAS), with registered office in Paris, France (European Union).

Apart from these processors, the Owner does not disclose personal data to third parties, except where required by law.
Security of personal data
To protect your personal data, the Owner takes all reasonable precautions and follows industry best practice to prevent its loss, misuse, improper access, disclosure, alteration or destruction.
The website is hosted by Webempresa Europa, S.L. (Spanish tax ID B65739856), registered at C/ Almagro 11, 6.º 7.ª 1, 28010 Madrid (Spain), which provides the hosting service as a data processor, on servers located in the European Union. The service is contracted directly by the Owner. You can consult its terms and privacy policy at https://www.webempresa.com/aviso-legal.html
Communication between your browser and the website takes place over an encrypted channel using an SSL certificate.
Web browsing
- When you browse https://www.javiertorices.com, non-identifying data may be collected, which may include your IP address, geolocation, a record of how the services and site are used, browsing habits and other data that cannot be used to identify you.
The website uses Google Analytics as a third-party analytics service, provided you have accepted analytics cookies. The Owner uses the information obtained to compile statistics, analyse trends, administer the site and study browsing patterns.
Content from other websites
Some pages on this website include videos hosted on external services, embedded through their respective players:
- Vimeo (Vimeo.com, Inc., United States), on the home page and on the Commissions and Trajectory pages.
- YouTube (Google Ireland Limited, Ireland), in the posts of the blog The gaze.
Embedded content from other sites behaves in exactly the same way as if you had visited that other website: it may collect data about you — including your IP address — and monitor your interaction with that content.
The two services are treated differently:
- YouTube videos are not loaded until you accept the corresponding cookies in the banner. Until you do, you will see a notice in their place and no connection is established with YouTube. Once you accept, they are loaded through the cookie-free domain youtube-nocookie.com.
- Vimeo videos do load when you open the page, as they form part of the site’s design, so Vimeo receives your IP address and your browser’s technical data even if you do not play the video. The player is configured in “Do Not Track” mode: it does not place tracking cookies on your device and does not record data about your viewing session. Only cookies strictly necessary for its operation and security may be used.
You can consult Vimeo’s privacy policy at https://vimeo.com/privacy and Google’s, which applies to YouTube, at https://policies.google.com/privacy
