Privacy

In a nutshell

Thank you for visiting http://www.ylvatildalambrechts.be!

I am Ylva Tilda Lambrechts, an unpublished Belgian author of science fiction and fantasy.

I promise to take every reasonable precaution to keep visitors’ personal data safe. No such information be disclosed willingly to third parties, unless I am actually required to do so.

More specifically

  • This site is hosted on a server located in the EU.
  • To the best of my knowledge, it does not actively collect identifiable user information.
  • Any identifiable information that visitors themselves may transmit to the site – e.g. through messages sent in via the contact form, or through emails – will be stored for a period of five years.
  • Contact data or other personal details visitors may have submitted will only be used for the intended purpose – i.e. to respond to the user’s specific request and reply to any follow-on messages.
  • Visitors who have written in can request to receive details of any personal data I may hold about them.
  • Please note that the privacy policy for this site may change – notably, but not exclusively, as its functionalities evolve. However, the underlying spirit will remain: no identifiable data will be collected knowingly without user consent, and what identifiable visitor data I do hold won’t be disclosed voluntarily unless I am required to do so by law, or decide on a good-faith basis that this is necessary.

Caveats

  • Danger, Will Robinson! Despite my best efforts, I can’t be certain that I’ve covered all angles of the privacy issue – I’m no expert. If you have any concerns about the effectiveness of my approach, please do not use the site. I completely understand, and I hope we’ll find another way to connect. At a convention, maybe?
  • Visitors who have contacted the site may request that I erase any personal data I hold about them. This possibility does not, however, extend to any data I may be obliged to retain for administrative, legal or security purposes.
  • Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
  • Articles on this site may include embedded content (such as videos or articles) from other websites. This type of content behaves just as if the visitor had visited the other website. These websites may collect data about visitors, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor visitors’ interaction with that embedded content, including tracking their interaction with the embedded content if visitors have an account and are logged in to that website.
  • The site also includes links to other websites. I have no control over these websites, and I assume no responsibility for their content or practices, or for those of any third party service in general.
  • This site utilises caching in order to facilitate a faster response time and better user experience. Caching potentially stores a duplicate copy of every web page that is on display on this site. All cache files are temporary, and are never accessed by any third party, except as necessary to obtain technical support from the cache plugin vendor. Cache files expire on a schedule set by the site administrator, but may easily be purged by the admin before their natural expiration, if necessary. My site may use QUIC.cloud services to process & cache your data temporarily. Please see https://quic.cloud/privacy-policy/ for more details.
