Manage Your Cookie Preferences

Welcome to the absolute most thrilling page on the entire internet. We know you probably came to American Eurolife to figure out how to escape an IRS penalty or open a bank account without crying, but the European Union has some incredibly strict laws about digital data.

Because we believe in full transparency—and because we really don't want a massive fine from an EU data protection authority—we have written our privacy and cookie policy in plain, simple, jargon-free English.

Here is exactly how we look after your digital footprint while you hang out on our site.

1. Who Runs This Joint? (The Data Controller)

When you are browsing American https://www.google.com/search?q=Eurolife.com, the entity responsible for looking after your data (known in legalese as the "Data Controller") is:

• Website Name: American Eurolife
  
• Contact Email: hello@americaneurolife.com
  
• Our Core Mission: To save American expats from digital and financial madness.
  

2. The Data We Collect (And No, We Aren't Spying On You)

We only collect data that you explicitly give us, or basic technical data that helps our website load properly on your device.

• The Information You Give Us: If you sign up for our newsletter, download our fabulous Transatlantic Financial Checklist, or fill out a contact form, we collect your Name and Email Address.
  
• The Automated Technical Stuff: Like 99% of modern websites, our server logs your IP address, browser type, and the pages you visit. This helps us see which articles are actually helping people and which ones are putting readers to sleep.
  

⚖️ Our Lawful Basis for Processing

Under GDPR rules, we process your data under two main legal umbrellas:

1. Your Consent: When you explicitly type your email into a box to get our newsletter.
   
2. Legitimate Interest: To keep our website secure, functional, and running efficiently.
   

3. Cookies: The Non-Delicious Kind

Cookies are tiny text files dropped into your browser to help websites remember you. In alignment with strict EU compliance guidelines, we do not load any non-essential cookies until you actively click "Accept" on our cookie banner. Furthermore, we make sure that clicking "Reject All" is just as prominent and easy as clicking "Accept All"—because dark patterns are no fun.

We categorize our cookies into three simple buckets:

• Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary): These are native Odoo cookies that allow the website to actually work. They remember things like your layout preferences or whether you are logged in. You can’t turn these off, or the site breaks.
  
• Performance & Analytics Cookies: We use lightweight analytics tracking (fully integrated with Google Consent Mode v2) to see how visitors interact with our site. This data is entirely anonymous.
  
• Marketing & Funnel Cookies: These track how visitors move through our content buckets.
  

4. Third-Party Sharing 

We have a strict rule: We will never, ever sell, rent, or trade your personal data to random insurance salesmen, spammers, or third-party data brokers. We hate spam just as much as you do.

5. Your GDPR Power Moves (Your Rights)

Because you are accessing this site from the EU (or dealing with an EU-regulated platform), you hold all the cards. You have the right to execute any of the following power moves at any time:

• The Right to Access: You can email us and ask, "Hey, what data do you have on me?" and we will tell you.
  
• The Right to Rectification: If we misspelled your name, tell us and we will fix it.
  
• The Right to Be Forgotten (Erasure): If you want us to completely wipe your email address and digital record from our systems, just ask. We will hit delete immediately, no questions asked.
  
• The Right to Object: You can opt-out of our newsletters instantly by clicking the "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of any email.
