Privacy Policy

Effective November 9, 2026. This policy explains what personal data we collect on andez.co, why we use it and how you can control it. We follow Colombian law (Law 1581 of 2012 and its regulations) and, for visitors elsewhere, the general principles of data protection laws such as the GDPR.

  • Technical data: IP address, browser, pages viewed and an approximate country derived from the IP, which we use to choose language and currency.
  • We do not ask for sensitive data (health, origin, beliefs, biometrics). If you send it to us on your own, we do not use it for any purpose.

3. Why we use your data

  • To measure, in aggregate, how the site is used so we can improve it.
  • To meet legal, accounting and tax obligations and answer authorities.

4. Legal basis and consent

Under Colombian law we process your data with your prior, express and informed authorisation, given when you tick the acceptance box at sign-up, purchase or subscription, or send us your data for a request. You can withdraw it at any time by writing to us, unless we must keep the data for a legal or contractual duty. If the GDPR applies to you, our bases are the contract with you (account, orders), your consent (newsletter, analytics cookies), our legitimate interest in running and securing the site, and legal obligations.

  • Ask for proof of the authorisation you gave.
