Legal framework
We handle your information under the rules of the data-protection law of your country and relevant standards in your country. If our wording ever conflicts with statutory law, the formal statute takes priority.
Data Collected
We collect information that you submit voluntarily, including your name and email address when you contact us with an editorial inquiry. Our servers also automatically collect technical log data, such as your IP address, browser type, referral source, and visit timestamp. In addition, we collect aggregated usage data through non-invasive analytics cookies.

We process contact inquiries based on legitimate interests in answering reader correspondence. Analytics cookies are processed strictly on the basis of your prior consent given via our consent interface.
Storage Period
Server log files are automatically cleared within ninety days unless needed for active security investigations. Inquiries sent via our contact form are retained for up to twelve months to maintain a record of editorial communications, after which they are securely deleted. Aggregated analytics data is kept only for the duration necessary to identify broad readership trends.

Hearthgrain Workshop Ltd. relies on selected third-party service providers, including cloud web hosts, technical infrastructure providers, and analytics vendors. These partners only access personal data to carry out specific technical duties on our behalf and are bound by strict confidentiality and data protection obligations.
