This Privacy Policy explains what information CubanPortal ("we", "us" or "the platform", reachable at cuban-portal.com) collects when you use our website, how we use it, with whom we share it and what choices you have. By using CubanPortal you agree to the practices described below.
1. Information we collect
Account information. When you create an account we collect your email address and a password. Authentication is handled by Amazon Cognito (an Amazon Web Services identity service); your password is never stored by CubanPortal directly.
Advertiser contact information. If you publish a property, we ask for the contact details you want to show to interested people: contact name, phone number, WhatsApp number and/or contact email. This information is displayed publicly on your listings — that is its purpose.
Listing content. The information you include in a listing — description, features, price, photos and the location you mark on the map — is public and visible to anyone who visits the site. Property photos are stored on Google Cloud Storage.
Technical and usage data. Like most websites, we and our service providers automatically receive technical data such as IP address, browser type, device, pages visited and approximate location, used for security, debugging and measuring how the site is used.
2. How we use your information
We use the information we collect to: operate the platform and your account; display your listings and their contact details to visitors; prevent fraud, spam and abuse; respond to your requests and messages; improve the site; and comply with legal obligations that may apply to us.
We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
3. Cookies and local storage
CubanPortal uses browser local storage to remember your preferences (for example, your language choice) and to keep your session active after signing in. These are necessary for the site to work correctly.
Third parties that provide services on the site — such as advertising or infrastructure providers — may set their own cookies as described below. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings; note that blocking all cookies may affect how the site works.
4. Advertising (Google AdSense)
CubanPortal displays advertising served by Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
Google's use of advertising cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings at adssettings.google.com. Alternatively, you can opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices. For more information about how Google uses data when you use our site, see policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
5. How we share information
Public content. Your listings — including photos, location and the contact details you chose to publish — are visible to anyone on the Internet and may be indexed by search engines.
Service providers. We rely on trusted infrastructure providers to run the platform: Amazon Web Services (Cognito) for authentication, Google Cloud Storage for images, Google Firebase for hosting and Google Maps for map display. These providers process data on our behalf under their own security and privacy commitments.
Legal reasons. We may disclose information when we believe in good faith that it is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, protect the rights, property or safety of CubanPortal, our users or the public, or investigate fraud or abuse.
6. Data retention and security
We keep your account information while your account exists, and your listings while they are published. You can unpublish a listing or request deletion of your account at any time.
We apply reasonable technical and organizational measures — encrypted connections (HTTPS), managed authentication and access controls — to protect your information. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. Your rights and choices
You can access and update your profile and contact details from your account at any time. You may also ask us to correct or delete your personal information, or to close your account, by writing to us at the contact address below. We will respond within a reasonable time.
8. Children
CubanPortal is not directed at children. You must be at least 18 years old to create an account or publish a listing. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors; if you believe a minor has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Substantial changes will be highlighted on the site. Continued use of CubanPortal after a change means you accept the updated policy.
