You don’t need to give any data to look at the universe and read the stars. This table lists what reaches the server, and only when you use the feature in each row.
| What | Why | Legal basis | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| Your star: what you write (280 characters at most), what it carries (what weighs on you, what you hope for or what you’re grateful for) and who it shines for (for you, for someone or for someone who is gone), its colour, the time it was lit (rounded to the hour) and whether it was at night, whether it was lit during one of the star nights (only that night’s number, and you can remove it when lighting it) or inside a group constellation (only the group’s number), and a fingerprint of your device’s code (the code itself is not kept) | So it shines in the universe, others can read it and keep it company, and your device knows it’s yours | Your explicit consent, when you tap “Light it” (Art. 6.1.a and 9.2.a GDPR, because what you write may say something about your health or someone else’s) | Seven days; longer if you correct it, keep it shining or give thanks. Then it is deleted completely. You can put it out sooner |
| What you share afterwards: how it’s going, whether you give thanks and whether you leave it in the thanks space | So those keeping you company know | Your consent, when you tap it (Art. 6.1.a and 9.2.a) | Same as the star; the copy in the thanks space, 30 days |
| Keeping a star company and the fixed phrases you send: the phrase number and a fingerprint of your device that is different for each star, so nobody can follow you from one to another | Counting how many times it has been kept company, showing the phrases it has received, without saying from whom, to whoever lit it and to whoever looks at it, and letting each person send each phrase once | The service you request by tapping it (Art. 6.1.b) | Same as the star |
| Reports: a fingerprint of your device for that star and the daily fingerprint of your connection | So a star reported by several people is hidden and Ramón reviews it | Legitimate interest in people’s safety (Art. 6.1.f) | Same as the star |
| Connection fingerprint: a daily code derived from your IP address, from which the IP cannot be recovered. It is kept with each star, act of company and report | Preventing abuse and bots: at most 12 stars shining at once and 12 a day per device, and a limit per connection | Legitimate interest in the security of the service (Art. 6.1.f) | Same as the star; the one for request limits, 5 minutes |
| Group constellations, only if you create one: the kind of group, what its stars will carry and who they will shine for, chosen from fixed lists (nothing is typed), the group’s code, a fingerprint of the code of the device that created it and the daily fingerprint of your connection | So the group’s stars appear joined in the universe, and to prevent abuse: at most 5 live groups per device and 20 a day per connection | The service you request by creating it (Art. 6.1.b); the fingerprints, legitimate interest in the security of the service (Art. 6.1.f) | Until the group’s last star goes out, or seven days if nobody lights one. Then it is deleted completely |
| Today’s count: how many stars have been lit today and how many times stars have been kept company, across the whole universe. Just two numbers per day, with nothing about anyone. What is shown on the star nights comes from counting that night’s stars, without keeping anything else | Showing on the home page how much company there is today | Legitimate interest in offering the service with data that identifies no one (Art. 6.1.f) | Three days |
| People: an approximate count, with no list of anyone, of the people who use the universe | Knowing how many people use it | Legitimate interest in offering the service with data that identifies no one (Art. 6.1.f) | 15‑minute counts, 1 hour; daily counts, 3 days; the total, while the service is in use |
| Device notifications, only if you turn them on: the address your browser gives to notify you, linked to the fingerprint by which your stars are recognised, and your language. If you ask to be reminded of an anniversary, that date too | Letting you know that someone has kept your star company even when the app is closed. The notification travels empty: your browser’s notification service (Google, Apple or Mozilla) only learns that your device must be woken, with no text and no star number | Your consent, when you turn them on (Art. 6.1.a). You can turn them off whenever you like in the menu | Until you turn them off, delete everything of yours or the browser cancels them |
| Blog comments and suggestions: the text you write and the daily fingerprint of your connection. No name or email is asked for | Publishing the comment once Ramón has reviewed it, and reading your suggestion, which reaches him by email. The fingerprint is only used so that no more than five messages a day are sent from one connection | The service you request by sending it (Art. 6.1.b) | The comment, while it is published; the suggestion, 90 days; the fingerprint, two days |
| Anti-spam count: how many things each device and each connection does per day (lighting, keeping company, leaving phrases, reporting), with a fingerprint that does not say who you are or which stars you touched | Detecting anyone who systematically behaves like spam and blocking them: the device, for seven days; the connection, until the day ends. Anyone blocked can still read | Legitimate interest in the security of the service (Art. 6.1.f) | The count, one day; the block, up to seven days |
| Visits, in aggregate: how many times each page is opened, which website people come from, the type of browser, system and device, the language, the time zone, the time of day and the time spent on the page. Only each day’s count is kept, never anyone’s visit. So as not to count the same person twice in a day, the daily fingerprint of your connection is used, and it is deleted the next day. If your browser asks “Do Not Track”, you are not counted | Knowing how many people arrive, from where and which pages help most | Legitimate interest in improving the service with data that identifies no one (Art. 6.1.f) | 13 months |
| Anonymous totals and usage count: how many stars are lit, how many times they are kept company and how many times each action from a fixed list is used. If your browser asks “Do Not Track”, the usage count doesn’t count you | Knowing how it’s used and improving it | Legitimate interest in improving the service with data that identifies no one (Art. 6.1.f) | Daily figures, 13 months; totals, while the service is in use |
| In your browser, not on the server: a random code for your device, the list of your stars with how many times they had been kept company, your language, light or dark mode if you change it, whether you have installed the app and which help and notices you’ve already seen (the welcome, the tips and the reading of the day), where you place the stars if you move them, how many times you have kept stars company and how many phrases you have left, the numbers of the last stars you kept company (to tell you if they give thanks), whether you have the sound on and, if you use the letter to someone who has died, the text of your letter, which never leaves your device. These are not cookies | Recognising your stars and telling you how many times you’ve been kept company since your last visit | Necessary for the service you request (Art. 6.1.b) | Until you clear your browser data or tap “Delete everything of mine” |
Anyone who opens the universe can read what you write, but nobody sees whose it is: not your name, your country or your device. That’s why I ask you not to write names or anything that reveals who you are or who you’re talking about. Phone numbers, emails, links and social media are not allowed.
If a star contains a word from a list (insults and similar words), it is still published, but it is flagged and Ramón receives an email with the star’s number and the word, never the text. Ramón can read it in his panel and delete it. If several people report it, it is hidden until he reviews it.
If what you write talks about ending your life, the star is still lit and the page shows you the helplines. Nobody is alerted and nothing extra is kept.
The numbers under “Helplines” and on the help page are public helplines. The page doesn’t call or alert anyone when showing them: you dial the number yourself.
There are no third-party analytics, maps, fonts or ads: the page loads nothing from anyone else. No data is shared with or sold to anyone.
Only the notices to Ramón (a star’s number and, if any, a word) and the suggestions you write to him reach Gmail (Google, a US company certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework). Nothing else leaves the European Union.
A shared universe is for people aged 14 and over.
You can request access to your data, rectification, erasure, objection, restriction and portability by writing to fandosrj@gmail.com. But since there are no accounts and I don’t know who you are, the quickest way is to do it yourself on the page: on each of your stars you can correct what you wrote or put it out, and it is deleted completely at that moment; in the menu, “Delete everything of mine” puts out and deletes all your stars and makes your device forget its code. Withdrawing your consent does not affect what came before. If you believe your rights have not been properly handled, you can complain to the Spanish Data Protection Agency (aepd.es).
No automated decisions are made about you and no profiles are built, and none of this is used for advertising. There are no profiles, photos, followers or private messages. Stars are answered only with fixed phrases.
A shared universe uses no cookies, first- or third-party, and no tracking tools. The only thing stored in your browser (in its local storage) is what appears in the last row of the table. Of all that, only your device’s code travels to the server, with each thing you do, so that your stars can be recognised; the server does not keep it. It is necessary for the page to work as you request and does not require separate consent. You can delete it whenever you like from your browser or with “Delete everything of mine”.
No system is invulnerable. If there were ever a breach affecting your data, it would be reported to the Spanish Data Protection Agency and announced on this page.
Until 29 September 2026, Compartiendo was something else (lamps, rooms and phrases). On that day it was withdrawn and all its data was deleted completely, with no copies.
If anything changes about what is processed or how, this page and the date below will be updated. If the change is significant, it will be announced on the website itself.
In case of doubt, the Spanish version prevails.
