Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 3, 2026

Welcome to creacosas.com (the “Site”), an editorial blog and content archive on entrepreneurship, product, agility and leadership, operated by Leandro Valencia Buitrago. This Policy explains what data we process when you visit the Site, why, and what rights you have.

If you disagree with these terms, please do not use the Site.

What this site is (and is not)

creacosas.com offers:

  • Blog articles and guides
  • A video archive for the associated channel
  • Informational pages (about, contact, legal)
  • A contact form by email

We do not offer user accounts, forums, internal chat, a store, orders or shipping. Mentions of those features in older versions of this policy were incorrect and have been removed.

Data controller

Information we collect

1. Data you send voluntarily

When you use the contact form or email us, we may receive:

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Message content

We use this only to reply and follow up. We do not sell it or use it to build advertising profiles outside that conversation.

2. Technical and usage data (automatic)

When you visit the Site, servers and tools may automatically log:

  • IP address (or a truncated/anonymous form depending on the provider)
  • Browser, device and operating system
  • Pages visited, timestamps and referrer
  • Session or measurement identifiers (cookies or similar), subject to your consent

3. Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and local storage for:

  • Essential: remembering your cookie preference (accept/reject)
  • Analytics: measuring visits and content performance (e.g. Google Analytics), only if you accept
  • Advertising: showing ads (Google AdSense) and measuring them, only if you accept

You can accept or reject non-essential cookies in the Site banner, and change your mind via “Manage cookies” in the footer. See the Cookie Policy.

How we use information

  • Operate and improve the Site and content
  • Respond to contact messages
  • Measure audience and performance (with consent)
  • Show ads and measure campaigns (with consent)
  • Comply with law or defend legitimate rights
  • Colombia (Law 1581 of 2012): processing with the data subject’s authorization when non-essential cookies or form data are required; technical data needed to deliver the web service.
  • EU/EEA visitors (GDPR): legitimate interest for basic security and operation; consent for analytics and personalized advertising.

Google AdSense and advertising

We use Google AdSense to display ads. Google and partners may use cookies, identifiers and similar technologies to:

  • Show ads (including interest-based ads when consent is given)
  • Measure performance and frequency-cap ads
  • Produce reports for advertisers

More: How Google uses data from sites using its services.

Manage personalized ads in Google Ads Settings and industry tools at aboutads.info.

Consent: by default we do not enable ad storage or personalization until you accept non-essential cookies. If you reject, we do not load the ads script in your browser.

Google Analytics

If you accept analytics cookies, we use Google Analytics (or equivalent Google measurement) in aggregate form. You can opt out via the browser add-on.

Who we share data with

We do not sell personal data. We may share information with:

  • Technical providers (hosting, email, analytics, ads) under instructions and security measures
  • Authorities when required by law
  • You, when you exercise access rights

Retention

  • Contact messages: as long as needed to handle the request, plus a reasonable archive period (up to 24 months unless law requires longer)
  • Technical logs: per hosting provider policies (typically days or weeks)
  • Cookie preference: up to 12 months or until you clear it
  • Data held by Google: per Google’s retention policies

Security

We apply reasonable measures (HTTPS, access controls, updated dependencies). No system is 100% secure; contact us if you believe an incident affects you.

Children

The Site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect their data. Contact us to delete any such data.

You may access, update, rectify and delete your data, and revoke processing authorization, by writing to leotransforma@gmail.com.
