Privacy Statement

Information we process

Newsletter subscriptions use your email address, subscription status, confirmation and unsubscribe timestamps, and delivery history. Restricted administrator accounts use identity and security data. Server operations may record IP address, browser details, request time, and error diagnostics.

How information is used

Information is used to deliver and administer the newsletter, secure and operate the site, respond to contact, diagnose errors, and maintain audit records. We do not sell or rent newsletter addresses.

Analytics, comments, and providers

When enabled and permitted by your consent choices, Google Analytics may process page and device information and Disqus may process information needed to display comments. SendGrid or another selected email provider processes newsletter delivery. These providers may process information in other countries under their own privacy terms.

The Forum

The Forum at /Forums lets members discuss topics with each other. You sign in to the Forum with the same Google or Microsoft account you use for this site. We do not create a separate Forum password. The first time you use the Forum, we create a Forum account from your site account's display name and email address.

The Forum keeps your display name, your email address, any profile details you choose to add (signature, location, website, social links, date of birth, avatar and photo), your posts and private messages, images you upload, and security records that include IP addresses. Posts, topics and display names are public and can be seen by anyone who visits the Forum. We store only images uploaded to the Forum. Links to images hosted elsewhere are removed when a post is saved.

Paying clients receive a Client badge on their posts and access to a private Clients forum. The badge shows that you have booked and paid for a session with Princess Valerie. We use booking records only to decide these two things. You can hide the badge on your account page, and hiding it does not remove your access to the Clients forum.

When you delete your account, your site account and personal details are removed. Your posts stay in the Forum so conversations remain readable, but they show the author as "Former member". We also remove your Forum profile details, images, private-message name, and link to your site account. We clear the IP addresses recorded with your posts and security records.

The Forum uses no analytics or comment services of its own, so the analytics and comment consent choices above do not apply to it. YouTube videos embedded in posts use YouTube's privacy-enhanced domain, which sets no cookies until a video is played.

Cookies and choices

Authentication and security cookies are essential. Optional analytics and comment scripts should load only when the applicable consent choice permits them. You may unsubscribe through the link in any newsletter and may decline optional scripts without losing access to core site content.

Retention and security

Information is retained indefinitely for operational, security, legal, and recordkeeping purposes unless you ask us to delete it and we are not required to keep it. We use access controls, protected action tokens, encryption in transit, and other safeguards, but no system can guarantee absolute security.

Children

This site is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us information, contact Valerie@PrincessValerie.net and we will delete it.

California privacy rights

The California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the CPRA, applies to California residents. Subject to its limits and exceptions, you may request to know the personal information we have collected about you, request correction of inaccurate information, request deletion, and opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined by the CCPA, and we will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights. To make a request, contact Valerie@PrincessValerie.net; we may need to verify your identity before responding, and an authorized agent may submit a request on your behalf with proof of authorization.

Consent choices for optional analytics and comment scripts are offered to all visitors. We do not currently operate a separate consent program for the EEA, the United Kingdom, or other regions outside California.

Your requests

To ask about access, correction, deletion, or another applicable privacy right, contact Valerie@PrincessValerie.net. Updates to this statement will be shown by changing its effective date.
