Privacy Policy

This policy explains what information erickoctavian.com collects, why it is collected, and how it is handled. Last updated 22 August 2026.

Information we collect

We only collect what you choose to send us. When you use the contact form, we store your name, email address, subject and message so we can reply.

Our hosting and analytics infrastructure may also record standard technical data such as IP address, browser type, referring page and time of visit. This is used to keep the site secure and to understand which pages are useful.

We do not collect payment details on this website and we do not knowingly collect information from children.

How we use your information

Your information is used to respond to enquiries, to fulfil requests such as press or collaboration materials, and to improve the content of this website.

If you explicitly opt in, your email address may also be used to send occasional updates about new books, articles or resources. You can withdraw that consent at any time.

We never sell your personal information, and we do not share it for third-party advertising.

Service providers

This website runs on third-party infrastructure for hosting, database storage, file storage and email delivery. These providers process data on our behalf and only to operate the service.

Some providers may store data on servers outside your country, including Australia, Singapore, the European Union or the United States.

Cookies

This website uses only the cookies and local storage entries required to remember your language preference and to keep an administrator signed in. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings; the public pages will continue to work normally.

Retention and security

Contact messages are kept only as long as needed to handle your enquiry and to keep a record of correspondence, then deleted.

Data is stored in access-controlled databases with row-level security, and only authorised staff accounts can read submissions.

Your rights

You may request access to the personal information we hold about you, ask for corrections, or request deletion. You may also object to certain processing or withdraw consent.

To make a request, email erickoctavian@hotmail.com. We aim to respond within 30 days.

Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated as the website changes. The revision date at the top of this page always reflects the current version.
