Introduction

Welcome to IntimateSagas.com (the “Site”), owned and operated by LOOREE ARTS SRL, a Romanian limited liability company (societate cu răspundere limitată), with its registered office in Iași, Romania (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). We provide romantic literature and adult erotic fiction while respecting and safeguarding the privacy of our visitors.

For the purposes of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (the General Data Protection Regulation or “GDPR”), LOOREE ARTS SRL acts as the Data Controller for personal data collected through this Site and our electronic newsletters. For any inquiries, rights requests, or concerns regarding your privacy, please reach our administrative desk at:

Email: legal@intimatesagas.com

(Note: A dedicated Data Protection Officer is not required for our operational scale pursuant to Article 37 of the GDPR).

This Privacy Policy sets forth:

1. What personal information we collect and process;
2. The legal bases and purposes for which we use that data;
3. How long data is retained; and
4. Your individual statutory rights regarding your personal information under European, Romanian, and international privacy laws.

By browsing the Site, confirming you are 18 years of age or older, or subscribing to our email newsletter, you acknowledge the data collection and processing practices described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

In adherence to the principle of data minimization (GDPR Art. 5(1)(c)), we collect only the personal information necessary to deliver our literary content, manage our newsletter, and secure our online infrastructure.

1.1 Information You Provide to Us Directly

We collect personal information directly from you only in the following voluntary scenarios:

• Newsletter Enrolment: When you subscribe to the Intimate Sagas email newsletter, we collect your email address and your affirmation that you are at least 18 years of age.
• Direct Correspondence: If you contact us directly via email (e.g., for legal, copyright, or editorial inquiries), we collect your email address, first name (if provided), and the contents of your message.

Note on Accounts and Payments: IntimateSagas.com does not provide user account registration, profile creation, or on-site payment processing. You will never be asked to create a password or submit credit card or financial account numbers on this Site. Outbound links to purchase books redirect you to third-party merchant platforms (e.g., Amazon, Kobo, Smashwords) that collect transaction data independently under their own privacy policies.

1.2 Information Collected Automatically

When you navigate the Site, our servers and analytics tools automatically collect standard technical information:

• Log and Device Data: Your Internet Protocol (IP) address, operating system, browser type and version, language preferences, referring/exit URLs, requested pages, and date/time stamps.
• Aggregated Analytics: We use privacy-conscious analytics services to collect aggregate, non-identifying metrics regarding site traffic and content engagement, helping us optimize website performance.

1.3 Sensitive Data and Minor Data

• No Special Categories of Data: Although our fiction explores adult themes, we do not solicit, require, or knowingly process “special categories of personal data” under GDPR Article 9 (such as data revealing racial origin, religious beliefs, health status, or specific sexual orientation).
• Strict Age Limitation (18+): The Site and newsletters are strictly intended for adults aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If we discover that a minor under 18 has submitted their email address, we will purge that data immediately from our systems.

2. Purposes and Legal Bases for Data Processing

Under GDPR Article 6, we only process personal information where a valid legal basis exists:

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small alphanumeric files placed on your device by your web browser. IntimateSagas.com minimizes cookie usage to the following categories:

• Essential / Technical Cookies: Necessary for the Site to function securely, such as storing session preferences (e.g., acknowledging the 18+ adult content warning banner or recording cookie consent choices). These cookies do not track you across third-party websites.
• Analytical Cookies: Deployed to measure visitor counts, bounce rates, and popular chapters. Where required by applicable e-Privacy regulations, non-essential analytics cookies are activated only after user consent.

You can configure your browser to decline, block, or delete cookies at any time. If you block essential cookies, certain functional elements of the Site (such as remembering your age verification response) may require re-entry upon every visit.

4. Third-Party Service Providers and External Processors

We share data with trusted third-party service providers solely to the extent necessary to support our operations. These providers act as data processors under contractual obligations compliant with GDPR Article 28:

• Hosting and Infrastructure Providers: Cloud server and content delivery networks (CDNs) that host our web files, graphics, and server architecture securely.
• Email Service Providers (ESPs): Specialized marketing platforms used to securely store our subscriber list, dispatch newsletter broadcasts, manage automated unsubscribe requests, and monitor email delivery metrics.
• Analytics Providers: Services that generate aggregate interaction metrics without building individual cross-site user profiles.

4.1 External Marketplaces and Affiliate Outbound Links

The Site contains hyperlinks to external marketplaces where our fiction is distributed for purchase, as well as affiliate links to partner products (e.g., lingerie, wellness goods, novelties). When you click an external link, you leave IntimateSagas.com. We do not transmit your personal data to these merchants. The third party collects information directly from you subject to its own independent terms and privacy notices. We encourage you to review their respective privacy policies before completing transactions.

4.2 Cross-Context Advertising & Data Selling

LOOREE ARTS SRL does not sell, lease, monetize, or rent personal data to third parties. We do not share your personal information with third-party data brokers or behavioural advertising networks for cross-context behavioural advertising under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA).

5. International Data Transfers

Personal data collected by LOOREE ARTS SRL is stored within the European Economic Area (EEA). However, some of our third-party infrastructure providers (such as email service providers or cloud hosting entities) maintain servers located in the United States or other third countries.

Whenever personal data is transferred outside the EEA, we verify that appropriate data protection safeguards are implemented pursuant to Chapter V of the GDPR, including:

• Transfers to jurisdictions recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of data protection;
• The execution of European Commission Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) (Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914); or
• Verifying that our service providers adhere to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF).

6. Data Retention Protocols

We preserve personal data only for the timeframe necessary to accomplish the operational purposes outlined in this policy, respecting the storage limitation principle (GDPR Art. 5(1)(e)):

• Newsletter Subscriber Records: Your email address and opt-in timestamp are retained for the duration of your active subscription. If you click “Unsubscribe,” your email address is removed from active broadcast lists and placed into a suppressed, inactive list to ensure no further promotional messages are dispatched to you. If you request complete erasure, your data is expunged entirely within 30 days, unless an ongoing legal dispute necessitates preservation.
• Web Server Technical Logs: Server access, IP, and security audit logs are retained for a rolling window of six (6) to twelve (12) months for diagnostics and cybersecurity threat analysis, after which they are permanently deleted or anonymized.
• Direct Legal Communications: Records of copyright notices, legal correspondence, and rights requests are archived for three (3) years to defend against potential statutory liabilities under Romanian civil law.

(Note: Because LOOREE ARTS SRL executes no direct consumer sales on IntimateSagas.com, we do not store customer billing records or fiscal invoice archives under Romanian Tax Law no. 227/2015 on this platform).

7. Data Security

We employ industry-standard administrative, organizational, and technical safeguards to preserve the confidentiality and integrity of your data:

• All web traffic and newsletter submission requests are secured using Transport Layer Security (TLS/HTTPS) encryption in transit;
• Administrative systems and email databases are protected by restricted, role-based access credentials and multi-factor authentication (MFA); and
• Server perimeters are defended by automated firewall rules to prevent brute-force intrusion and scraping.

While we enforce rigorous operational controls, transmission over the public internet is never entirely invulnerable; you access the Site and transmit information voluntarily at your own discretion.

8. Your Statutory Rights

8.1 European Union & United Kingdom Residents (GDPR / UK GDPR)

Under Articles 15 through 22 of the GDPR, you hold the following fundamental rights regarding your personal information:

• Right to Rectification (Art. 16): Request the correction of inaccurate or incomplete email or subscriber records.
• Right to Erasure / “Right to be Forgotten” (Art. 17): Request the permanent deletion of your personal information where retention is no longer legally justified.
• Right to Restriction of Processing (Art. 18): Restrict processing of your data under specific statutory conditions.
• Right to Data Portability (Art. 20): Receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
• Right to Object (Art. 21): Object at any time to the processing of your personal data based on legitimate interests or used for direct marketing.
• Right to Withdraw Consent (Art. 7(3)): Withdraw your newsletter consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

8.2 United States & California Residents (CCPA / CPRA)

If you reside in California or a US state with comprehensive privacy statutes, you possess rights to know what personal data is collected, request deletion, correct inaccurate details, and be free from discriminatory treatment for exercising privacy rights. Because LOOREE ARTS SRL does not sell or share consumer personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, opt-out mechanisms for data sales are not required. To submit an inquiry, email legal@intimatesagas.com with the subject heading “US Privacy Request.”

9. Modifications to this Privacy Policy

We may revise this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our operational procedures, technical stack, or evolving statutory frameworks. Whenever updates are enacted, we will modify the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. If we implement material modifications that impact how we handle existing subscriber data, we will provide conspicuous notice via an email broadcast to active subscribers prior to the change taking effect.
