Privacy notice

Who is responsible

The Fasted Society is a brand of Olguin Fast Evolving & Efficient Technologies FZCO, Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC), Dubai, United Arab Emirates. That company decides how your data is used: in legal terms, it is the controller.

To ask anything about your data, or to use any of the rights described below, write to us: the contact page of this site.

If we interviewed you in the street

TFS films short interviews in the street, mostly in Spain, and publishes them on its own channels. The question is always an open one: how do you look after your health? You tell your own story. We never ask you to recommend anything to anyone, and nobody at TFS will tell you to fast.

What we record: your image and your voice, what you say, and your first name if you give it. If you sign the release, also your full name, your signature, the place and the date, and your email if you want to hear from us. If what you tell us is about your own health, the law treats it as specially protected data, and we ask for your yes to that separately and explicitly.

We ask before we film. You say yes on camera, and we invite you to confirm it in writing on the short release on this site. We only interview adults. If we come to believe that someone is under 18, we do not publish the video, or we take it down.

What we do with it: we edit the interview for length, without changing what you meant, and publish it on TFS's channels on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube, on this website and on similar platforms. We may use excerpts to present and promote The Fasted Society. We do not sell your interview to anyone, and we do not use it to advertise other companies' products.

Why we are allowed to: because you said yes. Your consent is the legal basis for using your image and your voice (General Data Protection Regulation, article 6.1.a; in Spain, also Organic Law 1/1982, article 2), and your explicit consent is the basis for anything you say about your health (article 9.2.a).

Nobody is paid for an interview, in either direction. We are not obliged to publish it, and there is no date by which we must.

You can change your mind at any time, without giving a reason. Ask on the “Remove a video” page: we take the video down from every TFS channel within 7 days and confirm it by email. You can also ask us only to blur your face or to cut a part. Taking a video down does not undo what was lawful before, and we cannot erase copies other people made while it was public (downloads, duets, reposts), but we will help you report them to the platform.

If you only appear in the background: we frame our shots to avoid it, and when someone can still be recognised we blur them on request. Use the same page.

How long we keep it: a published interview stays up until you ask us to take it down or we close the channel. Footage we decide not to publish is deleted within 12 months. Your yes on camera and your signed release are kept while the video is public and for 5 years afterwards, as proof that you agreed.

TikTok, Instagram and YouTube handle what is published on them under their own privacy policies, and may do so outside the European Economic Area. Once a video is public, anyone can watch it and share it.

If you join our mailing list

We keep your email address, the language the site was in when you joined, and the date, time and wording of your yes. We use them for one thing: sending you The Fasted Society's letters, with news of the library, new interviews and the shop. If you asked to be told when your interview is published, we use your address for that message too.

The basis is your consent. Every letter carries a link to leave, and you can leave at any time on the “Unsubscribe” page. When you leave, we stop writing. We keep only your address on a do-not-write list, so that it is not added again by mistake. We never sell or lend the list.

If you ask us to remove a video

We keep your name, your email, the video's link and what you tell us, to do what you ask and to be able to show that we did. The basis is our legal duty to honour your rights. We keep the request for 3 years.

If you reserve something in the shop

The shop is in pre-launch. A reservation keeps your name, your email, the objects you chose and their total. We use them to write to you when the objects are ready. No payment is taken and no card details are asked for.

The basis is your own request, as a step before a possible purchase. We delete a reservation 12 months after it is completed or cancelled. Before the shop starts taking payments, this notice will be updated.

If you write to us

A message sent from the contact page keeps your name, if you give it, your email and what you wrote, so that we can answer. We delete it 12 months after the conversation ends.

If you talk to Atlas on this site

Atlas, the guide in the corner of this site, is an AI. The ready-made answers you see when you tap a question are part of the page: nothing is sent anywhere. If you are a signed-in member and you write your own question, it is sent to our server and to an AI model, through our hosting provider, so that the answer can be written. We do not store the conversations held on this site.

Atlas is not a doctor and cannot give medical advice. Please do not tell him things about your health that you would not want handled this way.

If you use the app

To join you create an account (your name and your email, through our hosting provider's sign-in service) and a profile: a handle, your country, the app's language and, if you want, why you started fasting and your year of birth.

In the app you keep your own records (fasts, water, eating window, notes), take part in the community (posts, replies, messages, photos) and talk with Atlas. The app stores all of that so that it can show it back to you. Records about your own fasting can say something about your health: you enter them yourself, by choice, and we use them only to run the app for you.

Your profile is visible to other members. You appear on the public wall of this site only if you turn that on, and then only as a number, an age and your own words; you can turn it off whenever you like. In your profile, “Delete my data” erases everything you stored. The app is for adults.

How the forms are protected

To keep robots from flooding the forms on this site, your browser does a moment of work before sending one, and the server counts how many forms arrive from the same internet address in a day. To count, it uses your address for an instant and keeps only a scrambled code made from it, never the address itself. The code is different every day. The basis is our legitimate interest in keeping the site working.

What this site keeps in your browser

No advertising cookies, and no trackers from other companies. The site keeps: your language (a cookie, for up to a year); your shop bag; whether you have already seen or answered the invitation to our letters; whether Atlas has already greeted you on this visit; and, if you sign in, the key of your session.

Our hosting platform (Base44) also keeps a visit identifier in your browser, and the address you came from, to count visits and detect errors. You can erase all of this from your browser's settings whenever you like.

Who else handles your data

Base44, which provides the hosting, the database and the sign-in, and the gateway to the AI model that writes Atlas's answers; the company that sends our letters, once they start, which will be named in each letter; and, for published interviews, the video platforms.

Some of them are outside the European Economic Area. Where the law asks for it, we rely on the safeguards it provides for those transfers, such as standard contractual clauses. We do not sell your data, and we hand it to the authorities only when the law obliges us to.

Your rights

You can ask us for a copy of your data, to correct it, to erase it, to stop or limit a use of it, and to receive it in a format you can take elsewhere. Where we rely on your consent, you can withdraw it at any time.

Write to us (the contact page of this site). We answer within one month, and it costs nothing. If you think we have got it wrong, you can complain to the data protection authority where you live; in Spain, the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (www.aepd.es).

Minors

Everything here is for adults. We do not knowingly keep data about anyone under 18. If you believe we have, tell us and we will delete it.

Changes to this notice

If we change this notice, we change the date at the top. If the change matters, we say so on the site or by email.
