The website operates under the commercial name Benhaus Advisory and provides information about international education consultancy and related services.

Access to and use of this website confers the status of user and implies acceptance of the terms contained in this Legal Notice. Users agree to use the website, its content and services lawfully and in good faith.

Benhaus Advisory maintains or may maintain official profiles on LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook and TikTok. Interaction through those platforms is also subject to the terms and privacy rules of the relevant social network.

This Legal Notice is governed by Spanish law. Where legally permitted, disputes relating to the website shall be submitted to the competent courts of Seville, Spain, without prejudice to any mandatory consumer jurisdiction rules that may apply.

2. Privacy Policy

Data Controller
Safae Benhammou, NIF Y0445208B, Calle San Eloy 20, 41001 Seville, Spain. Email: benhausadvisory@gmail.com.

Purposes of processing
Personal data may be processed to respond to enquiries, manage contact requests, arrange Discovery Calls, assess prospective clients’ educational needs, provide requested consultancy services, manage pre-contractual or contractual relationships, comply with legal obligations, and send commercial communications where the user has expressly consented or another lawful basis applies.

Legal bases
Depending on the circumstances, processing may be based on the user’s consent, steps taken at the user’s request before entering into a contract, performance of a contract, compliance with legal obligations, or legitimate interests where permitted by applicable data protection law.

Data minimisation
Users should provide only information necessary for their enquiry or service. Benhaus Advisory may request additional academic or identification documentation only where it is necessary for a specific service.

Retention
Personal data will be retained for as long as necessary to fulfil the relevant purpose and, where applicable, for the statutory periods required to establish, exercise or defend legal claims and comply with legal obligations.

Recipients and service providers
Personal data will not be sold. It may be accessed by service providers acting on behalf of Benhaus Advisory where necessary for website hosting, communications, scheduling, IT, administration or other operational functions. When a client expressly engages Benhaus Advisory for an admission or education-related service, relevant data may also need to be communicated to educational institutions or other recipients involved in the requested process.

International transfers
Some technology providers or educational institutions may be located outside the European Economic Area. Where an international transfer of personal data occurs, Benhaus Advisory will seek to rely on an appropriate mechanism recognised under applicable data protection law.

User rights
Users may request access to their personal data, rectification of inaccurate data, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability where applicable, or object to certain processing. Where processing is based on consent, consent may be withdrawn at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing. Requests may be sent to benhausadvisory@gmail.com.

Users also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection supervisory authority, including the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD), where applicable.

Security
Benhaus Advisory will apply reasonable organisational and technical measures appropriate to the nature of the personal data processed.

This policy may be updated to reflect legal, technical or operational changes.

3. Cookie Policy

The website may use cookies and similar technologies necessary for its operation and, depending on the tools enabled on the website, analytics, preference or advertising cookies.

Strictly necessary cookies may be used without consent where permitted by law. Non-essential cookies should not be installed until the user has made the relevant choice through the cookie consent mechanism.

The cookie interface should allow users to accept, reject or configure non-essential cookies. Rejecting cookies should be presented as an accessible option comparable to accepting them.

The final cookie table published on the website should identify the cookies actually deployed, their provider, purpose, duration and whether they involve third parties. This section must therefore be reviewed whenever analytics, advertising, embedded video, social media pixels or other third-party tools are added or removed.

Users should be able to withdraw or modify their cookie consent at any time through an accessible cookie-settings mechanism.

4. Website Terms of Use

Users must use the website lawfully and must not interfere with its operation, attempt unauthorised access, introduce malicious software, infringe intellectual property rights, impersonate another person or use the website for fraudulent or unlawful purposes.

Benhaus Advisory may update, suspend or modify website content where reasonably necessary. Information published on the website is general in nature and may change as educational institutions, public authorities and other third parties update their requirements, deadlines, fees or procedures.

Users should obtain personalised confirmation before relying on website content for a specific admission, immigration, academic or financial decision.

5. Terms for Consultancy Services

Benhaus Advisory provides education consultancy, guidance and application-support services. The exact scope, price, deliverables and payment conditions of paid services should be stated in the individual proposal, engagement document, invoice or service agreement provided to the client.

Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing, Benhaus Advisory does not act as an educational institution, immigration authority, embassy, consulate, scholarship body or public administration.

No guarantee of outcome
Benhaus Advisory cannot guarantee admission, a place on a programme, scholarship funding, recognition or homologation of qualifications, issuance or renewal of a visa or residence authorisation, or any other decision made by an educational institution, public authority or third party.

Client responsibilities
Clients are responsible for providing complete, truthful and up-to-date information and documentation, meeting deadlines communicated to them, and promptly notifying Benhaus Advisory of any relevant change in their circumstances.

Third-party requirements
Admission criteria, tuition fees, deadlines, language requirements, available places and administrative procedures may be changed by institutions or authorities without Benhaus Advisory’s control.

Discovery Call
A free 30-minute Discovery Call, where offered, is intended as an initial consultation to understand the prospective client’s situation and explain potentially relevant services. Unless expressly stated otherwise, it does not include full case management, guaranteed eligibility assessment or submission of applications.

Paid services
Any paid service is subject to the scope and conditions accepted by the client. Where consumer cancellation or withdrawal rights apply, the client will receive the legally required information before contracting. If the client expressly requests performance to begin during an applicable withdrawal period, the corresponding legal consequences should be recorded in the contracting process.

Professional boundaries
Information concerning visas, residence permits, homologation, recognition or other regulated administrative procedures is provided as general educational or administrative support unless Benhaus Advisory has expressly agreed to provide a service that it is legally entitled to perform. Where specialist legal advice is required, the client should consult an appropriately qualified professional.

Articles and resources published on the Benhaus Advisory blog are provided for general informational purposes. They do not constitute a guarantee of admission, legal advice, immigration advice or an individual assessment of a reader’s circumstances.

8. Social Media Policy

Benhaus Advisory may operate official accounts on LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook and TikTok. Following, commenting on or otherwise interacting with these profiles does not by itself create a contractual relationship with Benhaus Advisory.

Each social network independently processes personal data under its own terms and privacy policies.

11. Implementation Checklist

Before publication, Benhaus Advisory should verify the technologies actually installed on the website so that the Privacy and Cookie Policies accurately name relevant providers and processing activities.

In particular, verify:
• Website hosting provider.
• Discovery Call booking provider.
• Contact-form provider and where submissions are stored.
• Analytics tools, if any.
• Meta Pixel, Google Ads or other advertising trackers, if any.
• Embedded YouTube, Vimeo, maps or social-media content.
• Newsletter/email marketing provider, if any.
• CRM or cloud-storage tools used for prospective clients.
• Whether users can make payments or contract paid services directly through the website.

The cookie banner should block non-essential cookies before consent and provide a genuine reject option.

Data-processing agreements should be in place with processors where required. Internal records should also reflect the main processing activities carried out by Benhaus Advisory.

Important: this pack is a practical website compliance draft and should be reviewed when the website’s actual technical configuration or service model changes. For high-risk processing, international data transfers, or complex consumer-contracting arrangements, professional legal review is advisable.
