What we collect and why
Contact form
When you use our contact form, we receive your name, email address, and message by email. We use them only to reply to you. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in answering your message (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)). We keep these emails for [TODO: how long, e.g. 12 months] and then delete them.
Comments
If you leave a comment, we store the name, email address, and comment you enter, plus your IP address and browser user agent to help detect spam. Your email address is never shown publicly. Comments may be held for moderation.
Server logs and security
Like every website, our hosting provider automatically logs technical data when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, the pages requested, and the time of the request. This is used to keep the site secure and working (legitimate interest) and is kept only for a limited time by the hosting provider.
Cookies
We don’t use advertising or analytics cookies. WordPress may set strictly necessary cookies if you log in or leave a comment (for example, to remember your name for the next comment). Our hosting provider’s security system may set a technical cookie to protect the site from automated attacks.
Fonts
Our fonts are hosted on our own server, so loading this site sends no requests to Google Fonts.
Amazon affiliate links
When you click a link to Amazon, you leave our site. Amazon may set cookies to record that you came from our site so we can be credited for qualifying purchases. We don’t receive your personal details from Amazon, only aggregated reports of sales. Amazon’s own privacy notice applies on Amazon’s websites.

Some of these providers may process data outside your country, including in the United States, using appropriate safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses. [TODO: confirm where your hosting and email providers process data]
Your rights
If you are in the EU/EEA or the UK, you have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal data, to object to its processing, and to data portability. To use these rights, contact us. You also have the right to complain to a data protection authority: [TODO: name the authority where you are based, e.g. the Commission for Personal Data Protection in Bulgaria].
