Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the information shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.
An anonymized string created from your email address, also known as a hash, may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine whether you are using it. The Gravatar privacy policy is available at:

Contact Forms and Service Inquiries
When you submit a contact form or inquiry through the website, we collect the information you provide so we can respond to your request, evaluate your inquiry, provide information about our services, and communicate with you.
Submitting a form does not create an attorney-client relationship unless and until a formal service agreement has been signed and accepted.
We may retain form submissions and related communications for administrative, legal, security, and business purposes.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data, including EXIF GPS information.
Visitors to the website may be able to download and extract location data from images uploaded to the website.
Cookies
This website may use cookies to improve functionality, remember user preferences, analyze website performance, and support security and spam prevention.
If you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are for your convenience so you do not have to enter the same information again when leaving another comment. These cookies may last for one year.
If you visit our login page, the website may set a temporary cookie to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.
When users log in, the website may set cookies to save login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies may last for two days, and screen options cookies may last for one year. If “Remember Me” is selected, login may persist for two weeks. When the user logs out, login cookies are removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie may be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article edited. It expires after one day.

This information helps us improve website performance, understand user behavior, monitor security, and improve our content and services.
Embedded Content From Other Websites
Articles on this website may include embedded content, such as videos, images, forms, maps, social media posts, or articles from other websites.
Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if the visitor had visited the third-party website directly.
These third-party websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional tracking tools, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, especially if you have an account with that website and are logged in.
Costa Rica Immigration is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites.
Third-Party Services
We may use third-party services to operate the website, manage communications, process forms, analyze traffic, prevent spam, or improve website functionality.
These services may collect or process certain information according to their own privacy policies.
Examples may include website hosting providers, analytics platforms, spam detection services, email platforms, form providers, or embedded content providers.
Who We Share Your Data With
We do not sell your personal information.
We may share limited information with trusted third-party service providers when necessary to operate the website, respond to inquiries, manage communications, provide services, improve security, or comply with legal obligations.
If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email.
We may also disclose information if required by law, legal process, government request, or to protect our rights, users, website, or services.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata may be retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
If you submit a contact form or service inquiry, we may retain the information for administrative, legal, security, and business purposes.
For users who register on the website, if any, we store the personal information provided in the user profile. Registered users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except they cannot change their username. Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account on this website, have left comments, or have submitted personal information, you may request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including information you have provided.
You may also request that we delete personal data we hold about you.
This does not include information we are required to keep for administrative, legal, security, or contractual purposes.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Information submitted through forms or website tools may be processed by third-party service providers used to operate the website, manage inquiries, prevent spam, or communicate with visitors.
Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect personal information submitted through the website. However, no method of online transmission or electronic storage is completely secure.
For that reason, we cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted through the website.
Children’s Privacy
This website is not intended for children under the age of 13.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child has provided personal information through the website, we will take reasonable steps to delete that information.
No Attorney-Client Relationship
Use of this website, reading website content, submitting a form, leaving a comment, or contacting us through the website does not create an attorney-client relationship.
An attorney-client relationship is only created through a formal written agreement signed or accepted by both parties.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
Your continued use of the website after changes are posted means that you accept the updated Privacy Policy.

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or would like to request access, correction, or deletion of your personal information, please contact us through the contact information or forms provided on this website.
