Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 20, 2025

We're parents too. We built Horaxtra because we got tired of waitlists, not because we wanted to collect your data.

Here's exactly what we do with your information. No legal jargon, no surprises.

What We Collect (And Why)

When you want to join an activity, we ask for:

  • Your email - So we can tell you if the session happens
  • Your phone number - So the educator can reach you directly
  • Basic activity info - Which sessions you're interested in

That's it. We don't ask for your child's name, age, or any other details. That's between you and the educator.

What Happens to Your Contact Info

Here's our process:

  1. You commit to an activity (we store your email and phone)
  2. If enough families join, we confirm the session
  3. We give your contact details to the educator
  4. The educator contacts you directly to arrange everything
  5. We step back

The educator handles everything from there - session details, safety info, what your child needs to bring. We're just the matchmaker.

How We Use Your Data

For the platform:

  • Send you session confirmations and updates
  • Let you know if a session gets confirmed or cancelled
  • Basic website functionality (login, account management)

Email updates (optional):

  • If you opt in, we'll email you when new sessions open that might interest you
  • You can unsubscribe anytime
  • We promise never to spam you or sell your email to anyone

What we DON'T do:

  • No tracking cookies (we use Plausible Analytics - it's privacy-first)
  • No advertising or marketing emails (unless you ask for activity updates)
  • No selling your data to anyone, ever
  • No social media tracking or retargeting

Payments

We use Stripe for payments. When you commit to pay for a session, we send you to Stripe's secure checkout. We never see or store your payment details - that's all handled by Stripe according to their privacy policy.

Your Rights (GDPR Stuff)

Since we're based in Barcelona, European privacy laws apply. You can:

  • See your data - Ask us what we have (spoiler: it's just your email and phone)
  • Delete everything - We'll remove all your data if you ask
  • Update your info - Change your email or phone anytime
  • Download your data - Get a copy of everything we have

Just email us at hola@horaxtra.com for any of these.

Sharing Your Information

With educators: When you join their session, they get your contact details. They're independent service providers, so they handle your data according to their own practices.

With others: We might share your data if required by law, but we'll fight it if we think it's unreasonable.

With companies: Never. We're not venture-funded, we don't have investors to please. Your data stays with us or the educators you choose to work with.

Keeping Your Data Safe

We use standard security practices to protect your information. Your data is stored on secure European servers. But honestly, since we only collect email and phone numbers, there's not much sensitive stuff to protect.

Third-Party Services

We use a few carefully chosen services to make Horaxtra work:

Video Hosting (Ignite Video)

We use Ignite Video, a European video hosting platform, to show you videos of our educators without any cookie tracking.

  • What they collect: Your IP address (stored for only 48 hours)
  • Where: European Union only
  • Why: To deliver videos properly and prevent abuse
  • Their privacy policy: https://ignite.video/en/privacy
  • Company details: Ignite Video GmbH Immermannstraße 59 40210 Düsseldorf, Germany

Analytics (Plausible)

We use Plausible Analytics to understand how people use our website - like which pages are popular and where visitors come from. We chose Plausible because it's completely privacy-first: it collects only anonymous, aggregate data and doesn't track you personally.

  • What they collect: Anonymous usage data (no personal information, no IP addresses stored)
  • No tracking: No cookies, no personal data, no way to identify individual visitors
  • All data: Completely anonymous and aggregated
  • Their data policy: https://plausible.io/data-policy

Payments (Stripe)

When you commit to an activity, payment processing is handled by our secure payment partner, Stripe. We do not store your payment information. Stripe's privacy policy governs how your payment data is handled.

Changes to This Policy

If we change this policy, we'll email everyone and post the updates here. We'll never make changes that weaken your privacy without telling you first.
