Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 27, 2026

Tanarielis.com (the “Site”) is operated by Aletheia Ltd. Book-related communications may be sent under the author name L. Boyanova.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information when you visit the Site, read the supplementary stories published here, contact us, or subscribe to email updates about new stories, story continuations, behind-the-scenes material, and future Tanarielis book releases.

The free stories can be read on the Site without providing an email address or subscribing to updates. Where consent is required for processing personal information or using cookies and similar technologies, we request it separately.

1. Who We Are

This Site is operated by Aletheia Ltd.

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or about the way your information is handled, you may contact us at office@tanarielis.com.

2. Scope of This Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to personal information collected through or in connection with Tanarielis.com, including when you:

  • browse the Site or read its stories;
  • subscribe to email updates through the “Stay connected to Tanarielis” form;
  • contact us about the Site or your subscription;
  • interact with embedded forms, cookies, analytics, or security tools on the Site.

3. Information We Collect

3.1. Information You Provide

If you subscribe to updates, we may process your email address, your consent choices, and records relating to confirmation, delivery, subscription status, and unsubscribe requests. We may also process technical information needed to protect the form and prevent abuse, including information associated with reCAPTCHA verification.

The subscription covers notifications when new Tanarielis stories or continuations are published on the Site, together with the occasional behind-the-scenes notes, additional world details, and future book-release updates described in the sign-up form. You can unsubscribe at any time.

If you contact us by email, we may process your email address, the content of your message, and any information you choose to provide so that we can respond to your inquiry.

3.2. Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the Site, certain information may be collected automatically for technical, analytics, and security purposes. This may include:

  • your IP address;
  • browser type and version;
  • device type and operating system;
  • pages viewed and referring URLs;
  • date and time of access;
  • general usage and interaction data.

3.3. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Site may use cookies and similar technologies for functionality, analytics, security, performance, and consent management.

Some technologies are necessary for the operation of the Site. Other technologies, including analytics-related cookies and similar measurement technologies, are used only where permitted by applicable law and, where required, after you provide consent through the Site’s cookie banner or consent management tool.

For more information, please refer to our Cookie Policy.

4. How We Use Your Information

We may use personal information for the following purposes:

  • to operate, maintain, and improve the Site;
  • to manage your subscription and send related confirmation messages;
  • to send the story notifications and other updates you have subscribed to receive;
  • to maintain consent records and honor unsubscribe requests;
  • to respond to inquiries;
  • to understand usage, performance, and user experience, where the applicable requirements for analytics are met;
  • to protect the Site against spam, abuse, fraud, unauthorized access, and other security risks;
  • to comply with legal obligations and to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims where necessary.

5. Email Communications and Brevo

We use Brevo to process subscription information on behalf of Aletheia Ltd, send confirmation messages, manage subscriptions and consent records, deliver the updates you have agreed to receive, and process unsubscribe requests.

The main purpose of the “Stay connected to Tanarielis” subscription is to notify readers when new stories or story continuations are published on the Site. As explained in the sign-up form, emails may also include occasional behind-the-scenes notes, additional world details, and updates about future Tanarielis book releases.

Subscribing is optional and is not required to read the free stories. You may receive a confirmation email as part of the sign-up process. You can unsubscribe using the link in our update emails.

6. Legal Bases for Processing

Where the GDPR or similar privacy laws apply, the legal basis depends on the processing concerned:

  • Consent: to send subscription updates and to use cookies or similar technologies where consent is required.
  • Legitimate interests: to operate and secure the Site, prevent abuse, respond to inquiries, administer necessary records, and establish or defend legal claims, where those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.
  • Legal obligations: where processing is necessary to comply with applicable law.

Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

7. Third-Party Services and Tools

We may use third-party services and tools to operate and support the Site, including:

  • Brevo, for subscription management, email delivery, and related communications;
  • Google reCAPTCHA, to help prevent spam and abuse in forms;
  • Google Analytics, to understand general traffic and usage patterns;
  • CookieYes, for cookie consent management and banner functionality;
  • Wordfence, for site security, firewall, and malware protection;
  • UpdraftPlus, for website backup and restore functions;
  • WordPress, hosting providers, and related technical providers needed for the Site’s operation.

Providers may process information on our behalf or for their own purposes, depending on the service and their role. Their handling of information may also be governed by their own privacy policies and terms.

8. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share personal information where reasonably necessary:

  • with providers who help us operate the Site and its communications;
  • to protect the rights, property, or safety of the Site, its operator, users, or others;
  • to comply with law, legal process, or a lawful request from public authorities;
  • in connection with a business transaction or reorganization, where permitted by law.

9. Data Retention

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including managing subscriptions and inquiries, maintaining consent and unsubscribe records, meeting legal obligations, and resolving disputes.

If you unsubscribe, we may retain limited information needed to honor that request and prevent further subscription emails. Backup copies may remain for a limited period where reasonably necessary for security and recovery.

Any records still held from earlier requests or subscriptions remain subject to applicable data-protection requirements. An earlier request for material does not, by itself, constitute consent to receive marketing emails.

10. International Data Transfers

The Site may be accessed internationally. Some service providers may process information in countries other than your own, including the United States or other jurisdictions whose data-protection laws may differ.

Where required by applicable law, we use appropriate safeguards for such transfers. You may contact us for information about the safeguards applicable to your personal information.

11. Your Rights

Depending on the applicable law and the circumstances, you may have the right to:

  • request access to your personal information;
  • request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
  • request deletion or restriction of processing;
  • object to certain processing;
  • withdraw consent;
  • request portability of your information;
  • lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority.

To exercise your rights, contact office@tanarielis.com. We may need to verify your identity before responding to certain requests.

12. Children’s Privacy

The Site is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information through the Site, please contact us so that we can review the situation and take appropriate action.

13. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to help protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. No method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Policy to reflect changes in the Site, applicable law, or our practices. The updated version will be posted here with its effective date. If a change requires fresh consent, we will request it separately.
