2. What this website is

portalecm.com brings together the stories of people who say they have had a near-death experience, the scientific studies on the subject, and an analysis of what can be checked in each case. It is an educational project with no religious, medical, or academic affiliation.

By using the website, you accept this legal notice, the privacy policy, and the cookie policy.

3. Not medical advice

The information here is for general educational purposes. It is not a diagnosis, a treatment, or a medical or psychological recommendation, and it does not replace a consultation with a health professional.

If you are going through a difficult time, in Spain you can call 024 (the suicide crisis line, free and available 24 hours a day) or 112 in an emergency.

4. Where the content comes from

• The texts on portalecm are our own. When we describe what someone went through, we base it on what that person published or stated in books, interviews, documentaries, or studies, and we always cite the source.
• Short quotations from books, articles, and interviews are reproduced for the purposes of analysis and research, with their author and source, as permitted by Article 32 of the Ley de Propiedad Intelectual (Spain’s Intellectual Property Act).
• The illustrations were created for portalecm with the help of artificial intelligence tools. They are not photographs and do not depict the real people in the stories.
• The downloadable documents are articles whose licence allows them to be shared (such as CC BY), always with their author, journal, and licence. Paywalled articles cannot be downloaded from here. Neither can articles that are free to read but lack such a licence. For those, we link to the journal’s website. If you hold the rights to any of them and object to its being here, write to us and we will take it down.

You may link to any page on portalecm and quote its texts, crediting the source. For any other use, such as reproducing them in full or for commercial purposes, ask for permission first.

5. Accuracy and errors

Every fact comes with its source, and we keep what has been checked separate from what only the experiencer reports. Even so, we can make mistakes. If you find an error, write to us: we will correct it and keep a record of the correction.

The owner does not guarantee that the website will always be available or free of technical errors, and is not liable for any damage its use may cause, except where the law provides otherwise.

6. Links to other websites

portalecm links to books, scientific journals, videos, and other websites. We do not control their content or their privacy or cookie policies, and we are not responsible for them.

We always link to the official source: the journal, the publisher, or the author’s or programme’s own channel. If you hold the rights to something we link to and believe that copy is unauthorised, write to us at contacto@portalecm.com and we will remove the link.

7. Governing law

This legal notice is governed by Spanish law. For any dispute, and unless the law provides for a different venue, the parties submit to the juzgados y tribunales de Cáceres (the courts of Cáceres, Spain).

8. Changes

This notice may change to keep up with the law or with new parts of the website. The date of the last update appears at the top.
