Privacy Policy

Valyrian.net (“we,” “us”) runs this fan site for High Valyrian learners. This policy explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, and how third-party services may apply when you browse or use the contact form. It is not legal advice; if you need certainty for your situation, consult a qualified professional.

Information we collect

Contact form

If you use our contact form, you choose to send us your name, email address, and message. We use that information only to read your note and reply if appropriate.

We do not use contact submissions for newsletters, cold outreach, paid advertising lists, or other marketing purposes. We do not sell your data.

Submissions are delivered through a third-party form provider (Web3Forms). Their servers process the request before email reaches the site operator. See their documentation and privacy terms at web3forms.com for how they handle submissions.

Automatically collected data (browsing)

Like most sites, hosting and analytics tools may log technical data such as IP address, browser type, and pages requested. If we enable privacy-friendly analytics (for example Umami), we will use it only to understand aggregate traffic—not to profile individuals for marketing.

Cookies and similar technologies

We may use cookies or local storage required for site features (for example theme preferences). If we add Google AdSense, Google may set cookies or use similar technologies to serve and measure ads, including personalized ads where allowed. You can learn more in Google’s Ads policies and opt-out tools: How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

Planned monetization

We intend to support the project with Google AdSense display ads and, where relevant, Amazon Associates affiliate links. If affiliate links appear, we may earn a small commission on qualifying purchases at no extra cost to you. Amazon and other retailers operate their own privacy practices on checkout pages.

FTC guidance for U.S. visitors: when Amazon affiliate links are present, we will display a clear disclosure such as: “As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.”

Retention

Contact email and form content are kept only as long as needed to respond or to document a good-faith support thread (for example fixing a dictionary bug you reported). We do not aim to build long-term marketing profiles from the form.

Children

The site is aimed at general audiences interested in languages and fiction. If you believe a child has submitted personal data through the contact form, contact us and we will delete it where feasible.

International visitors

Visitors may access this site from many countries. Data you send may be processed in the United States or wherever our hosting and form providers operate. By using the contact form, you understand your message may cross borders.

Changes

When we turn on ads, affiliates, or new tools, we will update this page. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the revised policy for new practices we describe here.
