Thank you for visiting my private website https://heartdoctrine.com. Your privacy is of the utmost importance to me. This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected and used when you interact with this site.
This website https://heartdoctrine.com is a strictly personal and non-commercial project. There is no advertising, no affiliate marketing, and no use of third-party tracking or analysis tools such as Google Analytics.
If you choose to contact me via the contact form on this website, the information you provide (such as your name and email address) will be used solely for the purpose of processing your inquiry and communicating with you.
- No Third-Party Sharing: Your data will never be shared with, sold to, or rented to third parties.
- Data Retention: I will keep your messages only as long as necessary to address your request or as required by personal record-keeping.
To ensure consistent, visually appealing presentations and share multimedia content, this website integrates the following third-party services:
- YouTube
To disable or enable the embedding of YouTube videos, click “Privacy Preferences” in the bar that appears at the bottom of the screen. This option is turned off by default, meaning that tracking does not start until you have given your consent. I embed videos from YouTube (a service provided by Google Ireland Limited). I use the “Enhanced Data Protection Mode” where possible. However, when you visit a page with an embedded video or click “play,” a connection to YouTube’s servers is established. YouTube will be informed which of my pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube can associate your browsing behavior directly with your personal profile. To prevent this, please log out of your YouTube account before visiting this website.
This website may use technical “session cookies” that are necessary for the basic functions of the site (e.g., the contact form). These do not track your behavior across other websites and are usually deleted when you close your browser.
Depending on your location (specifically within the EU under the GDPR), you have the right to:
- Request access to the personal data I hold about you.
- Request the correction or deletion of your data.
- Object to the processing of your data.
As this is a private site with no database of users, these requests generally only apply to the information sent via the contact form.
As this is a private, non-commercial website and I do not publish my direct contact details for privacy reasons, please use the contact form (https://heartdoctrine.com/contact/) on this website for any privacy-related enquiries.
