WHO RUNS THIS SITE

This newsletter https://stories.terrasecreta.net and our site www.TerraSecreta.net are hosted on the Ghost platform and are operated by SMARTWAY GLOBAL LLC, 5830 E 2nd St Ste 7000, Casper, WY 82609, US.
For any question about your data, write to support@terrasecreta.net.

WHAT WE COLLECT

- Technical logs our hosts may keep to run the site (IP, browser, time) — not used to profile you.
- If you subscribe: your email address and session cookies so you stay signed in.
- If we send you an email: whether it was opened and whether links in it were clicked.
- If you visit the site: basic, aggregated traffic statistics — pages viewed, approximate country, referring site. This is not linked to you personally.
- If you buy something: the purchase is handled by Gumroad or Etsy, under their own terms and privacy policies.

Those are necessary for the service.
We never see or store your card information.
We do not sell personal data. We do not run advertising pixels.

WHY WE COLLECT IT, AND ON WHAT BASIS

- We use your email address to send you new newsletter stories you signed up for, deliver member content, deliver the free materials you signed up for, and occasionally inform you about a new publication. The legal basis is your consent, given when you subscribe.

- We collect site statistics to keep the site working, meet legal duties (tax, abuse, bookkeeping), and understand which writing finds readers. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in running the site.

WHO ELSE HANDLES YOUR DATA

We use the following services, which process data on our behalf:
• Ghost — hosting, membership, and newsletter delivery
• Carrd — hosting of www.terrasecreta.net
• Dreamweb — emails for the @terrasecreta.net domain
• Gumroad — sales and delivery of paid materials
• Etsy — sales and delivery of paid materials
Each holds its own privacy policy.
We never sell, rent, or trade your data with anyone.

HOW LONG WE KEEP IT

- We keep your email address on the list until you unsubscribe. When you unsubscribe, we remove it.
- Then we keep only what the law requires. We keep purchase records as long as tax and accounting rules require.

YOUR RIGHTS

- You can easily unsubscribe with one click at the bottom of every email — no explanation needed, and nothing is held against you.
- You can ask us at any time to show you what data we hold about you, correct it, or delete it entirely.
- To exercise any of these rights, write to admin@terrasecreta.net. We will respond within 30 days.
- If you believe your data has been mishandled, you also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.

COOKIES

This site sets only what is necessary to work:
- A session cookie when you sign in as a member, so you stay signed in and you can read members-only material;
- No tracking cookies, no advertising pixels, no cross-site profiling.

CHILDREN

This site is not directed at children under 16.

CHANGES

If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it. We will announce material changes by email.
