Welcome to AlvaWings.Art! This Privacy Policy explains how I, Alva Wings, collect, use, and protect any information related to your visit to my website (“https://alvawings.art/”). My website is a personal gallery showcasing my artwork, writings, music and fanart. I value your privacy and am committed to keeping this website minimally intrusive.
1. Information I Collect
Cookies
- Language Selection Cookie: My website uses a single cookie to remember your preferred language (English or Russian). This cookie is essential for providing a user-friendly experience and does not track or store personal information.
- No other cookies, including tracking or advertising cookies, are used on this website.
IP Addresses
- My website uses a security system that may log IP addresses to protect against unauthorized login attempts. These logs are used solely for security purposes and are not shared or used for any other purpose.
No Other Data Collection
- Comments: Comments are disabled, so no information is collected through comments.
- Contact Forms: There are no contact forms on this website.
- Tracking: I do not use analytics tools, tracking scripts, or third-party services that collect personal data.
2. How I Use Your Information
- The language selection cookie is used only to display the website in your chosen language (English or Russian).
- IP addresses logged by my security systems in case of brute-force attacks are used exclusively to enhance website security. These logs are retained until I delete them.
3. Sharing Your Information
I do not share, sell, or disclose any information collected (IP addresses) with third parties, except in the unlikely event that I am legally required to do so (e.g., to comply with a court order).
4. Third-Party Services
This website does not use third-party services that collect or process personal data, such as analytics tools, advertising networks, or social media plugins.
5. Data Storage and Security
- The language selection cookie is stored on your device and expires after 1 year.
- IP addresses logged by my security systems are stored securely on the website’s server until deleted.
- I take reasonable measures to protect the website from unauthorized access, but no online system is completely secure. By using this website, you acknowledge this limitation.
6. Your Rights and Choices
- Cookies: You can disable or delete cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling the language selection cookie may prevent the website from remembering your language preference.
- Access or Deletion: Since I collect minimal data (only the language cookie and cyber attack IP logs), there is no personal data to access or delete. If you have concerns, please contact me at alvawingsworks@gmail.com.
7. International Visitors
This website is hosted in the United States of America. If you are visiting from another country (e.g., the European Union), please be aware that any data collected (e.g., IP addresses) may be transferred to and stored in the hosting country. I strive to comply with applicable privacy laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for EU visitors.
