Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2025  ·  Applies to xorlaliopel.com

1. Who this policy applies to

This Privacy Policy applies to all visitors of the personal website of Xorlali Opel, accessible at xorlaliopel.com. By using this site, you agree to the practices described here.

2. What information is collected

This site collects two categories of information:

• Automatically collected data — When you visit, standard analytics tools (provided by Google, via Blogger) may log your approximate location (country/region), browser type, device type, pages visited, and time spent on pages. This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally.
• Voluntarily provided data — If you sign up for the newsletter, join a waitlist, or send a message via a contact form, you provide your name and email address. This is stored only to communicate with you.

This site does not collect your full name, physical address, payment information, or any sensitive personal data through passive browsing.

3. Why information is collected

The information collected is used to:

• Understand which content is most useful to readers
• Improve the quality and structure of the site
• Send newsletters and updates to subscribers (only if you opted in)
• Respond to messages and enquiries

Your data is never sold to third parties. It is never used for advertising purposes beyond this site.

4. Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. This site uses cookies to:

• Remember your cookie consent preference so you are not asked repeatedly
• Collect anonymous analytics data (via Google Analytics, embedded in Blogger)

You can choose to decline cookies when the consent banner appears. You can also clear cookies at any time through your browser settings. Please note that declining cookies will not affect your ability to read content on this site.

5. Third-party services

This site is built on Blogger (owned by Google) and hosted at a custom domain. As a result, Google's own Privacy Policy also applies. Additionally, the HERPLAN newsletter may be managed through a third-party email platform (such as Zoho Campaign or Substack), each of which has its own privacy policy.

Links to external websites are provided for your convenience. Once you leave this site, this Privacy Policy no longer applies.

6. Data retention

Analytics data is retained according to Google's default settings (typically 14 months). Email subscriber data is retained for as long as you remain subscribed. You may request deletion of your subscriber data at any time.

7. Your rights

You have the right to:

• Know what personal data is held about you
• Request correction or deletion of your data
• Unsubscribe from any emails at any time (every email includes an unsubscribe link)
• Withdraw cookie consent by clearing your browser's local storage

8. Children's privacy

This site is not directed at children under the age of 13. No personal information is knowingly collected from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through this site, please get in touch.

9. Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated from time to time. When it is, the date at the top of this page will be revised. Continued use of the site after any update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
