Version 1.0

1. Who is responsible for your personal data?

DraftRipple is an independent publishing project operated by Valeria Elena Pinsent, based in Santiago, Chile.

For purposes of applicable data-protection law, Valeria Elena Pinsent is responsible for the personal data processed through this website.

For questions or requests concerning your personal data, please contact:

books@draftripple.cl


2. What information may we collect?

DraftRipple is designed to collect as little personal information as reasonably necessary.

Information you provide

If you contact DraftRipple using the Reach Out form, we may receive information you choose to provide, such as:

  • your name;
  • your email address;
  • your message; and
  • any other information you voluntarily include in your communication.

Please do not include sensitive personal information in the contact form unless it is genuinely necessary for your enquiry.

Technical information

When you visit the website, certain technical information may be collected automatically by the website's hosting and technical infrastructure. This may include:

  • browser type and browser version;
  • operating system;
  • referring URL;
  • hostname of the accessing device;
  • time of the server request; and
  • IP address.

This information is primarily used to operate, maintain and secure the website.


3. Why do we use your information?

Information submitted through the Reach Out form is used to:

  • receive and respond to enquiries;
  • communicate with people who contact DraftRipple;
  • answer questions concerning DraftRipple books or the website; and
  • maintain necessary correspondence relating to an enquiry.

Technical information may be processed to ensure the proper functioning and security of the website and to understand general website usage.

Information submitted through the contact form is not automatically added to a marketing or newsletter list.


4. Legal basis for processing

Personal information is processed where necessary to respond to a request made by the person contacting DraftRipple, to operate and protect the website, to comply with applicable legal obligations, or where another lawful basis under applicable data-protection legislation applies.

Where consent is required for a particular type of processing, such processing will be based on the visitor's consent.

DraftRipple aims to collect and process only information that is reasonably necessary for these purposes.


5. Contact form

When you send an enquiry through the Reach Out form, the information entered in the form is used to respond to your enquiry and any necessary follow-up communication.

This information is not sold or provided to third parties for their own advertising or marketing purposes.

Contact-form information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to deal with the enquiry or meet applicable legal or record-keeping requirements.


6. Server log files

The website's technical infrastructure may automatically collect and store information transmitted by your browser in server log files.

This may include browser and operating-system information, referring URL, hostname, time of access and IP address.

Server-log information is used for purposes such as operating the website, identifying technical problems and maintaining website security. It is not intentionally combined by DraftRipple with information submitted through the contact form to create individual visitor profiles.


7. Analytics — Matomo

This website uses Matomo, an open-source web analytics service, to obtain statistical information about how visitors use the website.

Matomo may use cookies or similar technologies to help analyse website usage. According to the website platform's current configuration, IP addresses used for analytics are anonymised before being stored.

Analytics information is used to understand general visitor behaviour and improve the website. DraftRipple does not use Matomo analytics to identify individual visitors personally.


8. Cookies

The website may use cookies necessary for its operation, security and functionality, as well as cookies associated with Matomo analytics.

Some cookies are temporary session cookies and are automatically removed after a browsing session. Other cookies may remain on the visitor's device until they expire or are deleted.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Restricting certain cookies may affect some website functionality.

If DraftRipple introduces additional advertising, analytics or other non-essential tracking technologies in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated and any consent mechanism required by applicable law will be implemented.


9. Service providers

DraftRipple relies on third-party technical service providers for services necessary to operate and host the website.

These providers may process limited technical or personal information where necessary to provide their services.

DraftRipple does not sell personal information collected through this website.


10. Amazon and other external websites

DraftRipple contains links to Amazon and may occasionally contain links to other external websites.

When you follow an external link, you leave the DraftRipple website. Any information subsequently collected by Amazon or another third party is governed by that organisation's own privacy practices and policies.

DraftRipple does not control how external websites collect or process personal information.


11. How long is information kept?

Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including responding to enquiries, maintaining necessary records, resolving disputes or complying with legal obligations.

Information that is no longer required will be deleted or otherwise disposed of when reasonably practicable.

Technical and analytics information may be retained according to the settings and retention periods of the website's technical and analytics systems.


12. Security

Reasonable technical and organisational measures are used to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.

However, no website, internet transmission or electronic communication system can guarantee absolute security.


13. Your rights

Under applicable data-protection law, you may have rights concerning your personal information, including the right to:

  • request access to personal information held about you;
  • request correction of inaccurate or outdated information;
  • request deletion of personal information where applicable;
  • object to certain processing;
  • request portability where applicable; and
  • exercise any other rights provided by applicable law.

To exercise your rights or ask a question about personal information processed by DraftRipple, contact:
