Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Nachtljocht collects, uses, and protects information when you visit this website, subscribe to a newsletter, use a contact form, submit work, or follow links to related pages.

Who This Covers

This policy applies to nachtljocht.com and related Nachtljocht pages hosted through GitHub Pages, including pages under ysyvon.github.io/nachtljocht-site.

Information You Provide

You may choose to provide personal information such as your name, email address, website, social links, submission materials, message contents, or other details when you contact Nachtljocht, subscribe to the mailing list, submit work, or otherwise communicate with the journal.

If you submit creative work, contributor materials, author photos, biographies, or publication information, that material may be reviewed for editorial purposes and, if accepted or otherwise agreed, may be published on the site.

Information Collected Automatically

Like most websites, hosting, security, form, email, and infrastructure providers may automatically receive technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, referring pages, pages visited, dates and times, and basic diagnostic logs.

This site may use cookies, local storage, or similar browser technologies for basic site functions. Embedded third-party tools may use their own cookies or similar technologies.

How Information Is Used

Information may be used to operate the website, respond to messages, review and manage submissions, send newsletters or updates you requested, maintain security, troubleshoot technical issues, preserve editorial records, comply with legal obligations, and improve the visitor experience.

Third-Party Services

This site may rely on third-party services including GitHub Pages for hosting, Cloudflare for DNS, security, and redirects, Buttondown for newsletters, Tally for forms, and linked services such as social platforms and the Indie Press Webring. Those services may process information under their own privacy policies.

Sharing Information

Nachtljocht does not sell personal information. Information may be shared with service providers that help run the website, email list, forms, submissions, hosting, security, or analytics-like infrastructure. Information may also be shared if required by law, to protect rights or safety, or with your consent.

International Visitors

Nachtljocht is operated from the United States and may be visited from other countries. If you access the site from outside the United States, your information may be processed in the United States or in other places where service providers operate.

Your Choices And Rights

You can choose not to submit personal information. You can unsubscribe from newsletters using the unsubscribe link in the email. Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, or information about how your personal information is handled.

To make a privacy request, email hello@ysgoldt.com. I may need enough information to verify and respond to your request.

Retention

Information is kept only as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described above, including communication records, editorial records, publication records, legal obligations, backups, security logs, or legitimate operational needs.

Children

This site is not directed to children under 13, and Nachtljocht does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact me so it can be reviewed and removed where appropriate.

Security

Reasonable care and reputable service providers are used to help protect information. No website, email, or online service can be guaranteed completely secure.

Changes

This policy may be updated from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new "Last updated" date.
