Privacy Policy

Information on how personal data is processed when you use this website.
At a Glance

This website is a personal author and worldbuilding site for the Aureth saga. Only the personal data necessary for the technical operation of the site is processed, plus anything you choose to provide (for example via e-mail or a contact form).

Below you will find details about what data may be collected when you visit and what rights you have regarding it.

Controller / Responsible Entity

The entity responsible for data processing on this website is:

Site owner:
Nikolaos Toussis
[Street / Number]
[ZIP] [City], [Country]
E-mail: info@world-of-aureth.com

The legal basis for processing is the GDPR (in particular Art. 6) together with applicable national law.

Server Log Files

When you access this website, your browser automatically sends information to the server that hosts it. This information is stored in so-called server log files and may include:

  • IP address (shortened or pseudonymised where technically feasible),
  • date and time of access,
  • requested URL / file,
  • referrer URL (the site you visited before),
  • browser type and operating system.

This data is processed in order to ensure the technical availability and security of the website (legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). This data is not combined with other data sources. Log data is usually deleted after a short period of time unless longer storage is required to investigate misuse or security incidents.

Cookies

Strictly Necessary Cookies

This website uses cookies that are technically necessary for it to function. This includes, in particular, a cookie to remember your language choice (de/en) and a cookie or localStorage entry to store your decision in the cookie banner.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in providing a functional and user-friendly site) and, where applicable, Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if the cookie is required to deliver content you requested.

Optional Cookies / Analytics

At the moment, no analytics or tracking cookies beyond what is technically necessary are used. If additional services (e.g. reach / audience analytics) are integrated in the future, this privacy policy will be updated and, where required, separate consent will be obtained.

You can delete or block cookies via your browser settings. Doing so may affect the functionality of this site.

Contact & E-mail Communication

If you contact me by e-mail or via a contact form, the data you provide (such as your name, e-mail address and the content of your message) will be processed for the purpose of handling your request.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where your request relates directly to a (pre-)contractual relationship (e.g. purchase of a book), otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in responding to enquiries).

Your data will be stored only as long as necessary to process your request or as required by statutory retention obligations.

Embedded Content & Third Parties

This website is currently designed to work without embedded third-party content (such as YouTube videos, external analytics tools or embedded social media feeds). If such third-party content is integrated in the future, this may result in data (such as your IP address) being transferred to those providers when you load a page.

If this becomes the case, this privacy policy will be updated accordingly and, where required, separate consent will be collected for the use of such services.

Your Rights

Under applicable data protection laws, you have in particular the following rights:

  • Access to the personal data stored about you,
  • Rectification of inaccurate or incomplete data,
  • Erasure (“right to be forgotten”), where no legal retention obligations apply,
  • Restriction of processing,
  • Objection to certain types of processing,
  • Data portability, where applicable.

To exercise any of these rights, you can contact me at info@world-of-aureth.com.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection authority if you believe that the processing of your personal data infringes data protection law.

Changes to This Policy

This privacy policy may be updated from time to time, for example if the technical setup of the website changes or new services are integrated. The version published here is always the current one.
