    Privacy Policy

    Last updated: 8.11.2025
    Effective for: EU (GDPR) and international visitors

    Welcome, traveler of light and data.
    This website is a creative domain dedicated to art, storytelling, and some of my random thoughts.
    Here’s everything you need to know about how your information is handled — no corporate jargon, no fine-print sorcery.

    1. Who We Are

    This site is operated by Luxatelier, based in Poland, EU.
    You can contact me directly at luxluxianne@gmail.com for any privacy-related matters.

    2. What Data We Collect

    We collect only what’s necessary for the site to function and improve:

    • Technical data (browser type, device, IP address, screen size, language, etc.)

    • Analytics data (time spent on pages, navigation patterns — anonymous and aggregated)

    • Voluntary information (messages sent through contact forms, comments, or subscriptions)

    No unnecessary profiling, no personality dissection — just functional insight.

    3. Cookies & Tracking

    Yes, this site uses cookies.
    They keep the system stable, remember preferences, and help understand how visitors interact with the content.

    Types of cookies:

    • Essential cookies: Keep the site running (e.g., security, page navigation)

    • Analytics cookies: Measure performance and audience trends

    • Preference cookies: Remember your settings (like language or theme)

    You can disable or delete cookies anytime through your browser settings.
    Refusing cookies won’t lock you out — it may just make the interface a little less “personalized.”

    4. Legal Basis for Processing

    Your data is processed under:

    • Consent (when you accept cookies or send a message)

    • Legitimate interest (to maintain website security and performance)

    • Legal obligation (when certain data must be kept for tax or regulatory reasons)

    You can withdraw your consent at any time — no drama, no penalties.

    5. How We Use Your Data

    We use data solely to:

    • Keep the site functional and secure

    • Understand how visitors engage with the content

    • Respond to your messages or comments

    • Improve design, layout, and performance

    Your data is never sold, traded, or shared with third parties for advertising.
    Any third-party services (like analytics) are used responsibly, within GDPR and privacy-shield frameworks.

    6. Data Storage & Retention

    Data is stored securely on servers located in the EU (or other GDPR-compliant regions).
    Personal data is retained only as long as necessary for the purpose collected.
    When it’s no longer needed, it’s deleted — no archives of forgotten echoes.

    7. Your Rights 

    You have the right to:

    • Access your personal data

    • Request correction or deletion

    • Restrict or object to processing

    • Withdraw consent

    • Request a copy of your data (data portability)

    To exercise any of these rights, contact me.
    I’ll respond within 30 days — faster, if the stars align.

    8. Third-Party Services

    This site may use:

    • Analytics tools (like Google Analytics)

    • Embedded content (videos, social media widgets, etc.)

    Each of these services has its own privacy policy and may collect additional data through embedded elements.
    When you interact with them, their terms apply.

    9. Data Security

    Your data is guarded with reasonable technical and organizational measures — encryption, secure connections (HTTPS), and access control.
    No system is entirely invulnerable, but this one’s watched closely — think of it as a digital Genesis sentinel.

    10. International Transfers

    If data is transferred outside the EU, it’s done only to regions with adequate data protection (as defined by the European Commission) or through standard contractual clauses ensuring compliance.

    11. CCPA (for U.S. Visitors)

    If you’re visiting from California, you have similar rights:
    to request access, deletion, or information about what’s collected.
    This site doesn’t sell personal data — not even metaphorically.

    12. Updates

    This policy may evolve over time, as the website grows.
    Any changes will appear here, with the date updated.
    No hidden edits, no vanishing clauses.

    In short:
    Your privacy matters. This site collects the bare minimum to function, and your data stays yours.
    No manipulations, no secret archives — just a transparent system built on trust, creativity, and a bit of digital starlight.
