PRIVACY POLICY

A LEGAL DISCLAIMER

Effective date: August 4, 2026
Website: alanaaviel.com

This Privacy Policy explains how alanaaviel.com ("the Site," "I," "me," or "my") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit the Site or contact me through it. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.

1. Who I Am

The Site is operated by an individual (sole proprietor). If you have any questions about this policy or your personal data, you can reach me using the contact form on alanaaviel.com.

2. Information I Collect

I only collect the personal information you choose to give me. Specifically, when you fill out a contact or signup form, I may collect your name and email address.

I do not collect payment information, and I do not use analytics tools, advertising pixels, or third-party tracking services on the Site.

3. How I Use Your Information

I use the name and email you provide solely to:

- respond to your messages or inquiries,
- follow up on requests you have made, and
- send you information you have signed up to receive, if applicable.

I do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information, and I do not share it with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

4. How Long I Keep Your Information

I retain the name and email you submit indefinitely, unless you ask me to delete it. You may request deletion at any time (see "Your Rights" below), and I will remove your information unless I am legally required to keep it.

5. How I Protect Your Information

I take reasonable measures to safeguard the information you provide against loss, misuse, and unauthorized access. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, so I cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Cookies

The Site does not use analytics or advertising cookies. Any cookies present are limited to those strictly necessary for the Site to function. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings.

7. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights over your personal information. I honor these rights for all visitors regardless of location.

You have the right to:

- Restrict or object to how I process your data.
- Data portability — receive your data in a usable format.
- Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent.
- Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

My legal basis for processing your name and email is your consent (given when you submit a form) and my legitimate interest in responding to you.

If you are in California (CCPA/CPRA)

You have the right to:

- Know what personal information I collect and how I use it.
- Access a copy of the personal information I hold about you.
- Delete your personal information.

8. Children's Privacy

The Site is intended for a general audience and has no minimum age restriction. I do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or under 16 in the EU/EEA). If you believe a child has provided me with personal information, please contact me and I will delete it.

9. International Visitors

The Site is operated from the United States. If you access it from outside the U.S., your information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your country.

10. Third-Party Links

The Site may contain links to other websites. I am not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies.
