Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Avanza Advisors SL (“we,” “our,” or “us”), an education and consulting services company incorporated in Barcelona, Spain. Avanza Advisors™ provides consulting services and proprietary workflow tools to streamline the college and university application process for students, including UniTrak™, our application-management tool for students. We do not guarantee admission to any institution; we operate solely in an advisory capacity. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal information is handled in a safe and responsible manner.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our websites at https://www.avanzaadvisors.com and https://www.unitrak.org (together, the “Service”), access any of our digital services and applications, including UniTrak™, any other service we offer under its own branding, and third-party partner sites.

2. Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information:

• Personal Information: Name, email address, postal address, phone number, and other contact details when you provide them to us.
• Device Information: IP address, browser type, operating system, device identifiers, and other technical information.
• Usage Data: Information about how you use our website, including pages visited, time spent, and interaction patterns.
• Cookies and Tracking Data: Information collected through cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies.
• Payment Information: Credit card details, billing address, and transaction history when you make purchases.
• Service Data: Academic records, application details, supporting documentation.
• Notification list: If you ask to be told when UniTrak opens, we store the first name and email address you give us, your answer to which kind of user you are, and, if you choose to give it, the countries you are interested in applying to. We also record the date you gave permission and the wording you agreed to. We use this only to email you when UniTrak opens and to decide which countries to support first. Joining the list does not create an account and places you under no obligation. We do not pass your details to anyone else. Ask us at info@avanzaadvisors.com and we will remove you.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for the following purposes:

• To provide, operate, and maintain our website and consulting services
• To improve, personalize, and expand our website
• To understand and analyze how you use our website
• To develop new products, services, features, and functionality
• To communicate with you, either directly or through one of our partners
• To process your transactions and manage your orders

4. Third-Party Services

We do not sell your data. We may utilize third-party services that collect, monitor, and analyze data. These services include:

• Cloudflare Web Analytics: We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to measure how our websites are used. It does not set cookies, does not collect personal data, and does not track individual visitors across websites. It records page-level information including the page viewed, the referring website, the visitor’s country, and the browser, operating system and device type, together with page performance timings. For more information, see Cloudflare’s Privacy Policy.
• Google Fonts: Our websites load typefaces from Google Fonts. Doing so sends your IP address to Google, which serves the font files. No cookies are set, and we receive nothing from Google. For more information, see Google’s Privacy Policy.
• Email Marketing Services: We use email marketing platforms to send reminders and informational content. These services store your email address and related information.
• Payment Processors: We use secure third-party payment processors to handle transactions. These services collect and process payment information securely.
• Subcontractors and service providers: We utilize third-party software service providers as well as subcontractors (bound by confidentiality agreements) for technology development services. These services are also bound by their own individual privacy requirements.

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our websites do not set cookies. We use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which measures site usage without cookies and without identifying individual visitors. Where our applications require cookies to function — for example to keep you signed in — we will describe them here before they are used.

You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our website.

6. Data Security

The security of your personal information is important to us; please remember, though, that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. Whenever possible, data is stored in encrypted systems with restricted access.

All accounts should be protected by strong passwords, selected by the user. Avanza Advisors™ will endeavor to enhance security measures, including through the implementation of dual authentication (without guarantee of timing).

7. Your Privacy Rights
