This privacy policy explains how this website collects, uses, and handles any information when you visit maxsaintfestin.com. This is a personal blog; there is no product being sold, no user accounts, and no advertising platform. The goal here is to be straightforward about what limited data is involved and why.

1. Who runs this site

This website is operated by Max Saint-Festin as a personal blog. If you have any questions about this policy, you can reach out via the contact form on the About page.

2. What information is collected

This site does not require you to create an account or provide any personal information to read content. The only ways personal data may come into contact with this site are:

Contact form submissions — if you use the contact form on the About page, you’ll provide your name and email address. This information is used solely to respond to your message and is not stored beyond what the email service retains.

Comments — if the blog has comments enabled and you choose to leave one, WordPress may collect your name, email address, and IP address as part of that submission.

Analytics — this site may use a basic analytics tool (such as Google Analytics or WordPress Stats) to understand general traffic patterns — things like which posts are being read and where visitors come from geographically. This data is aggregated and not tied to individual identities.

3. Cookies

This site uses minimal cookies. WordPress sets a small number of functional cookies by default — these are technical in nature and are not used for advertising or tracking purposes. If you leave a comment, WordPress may also set a cookie to remember your details for future comments.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Doing so will not affect your ability to read content on this site.

4. Third-party services

This site is hosted via a 3rd party and may use third-party services, each of which has its own privacy practices.

No data is sold to third parties. No advertising networks are used on this site.

5. Embedded content

Posts on this site may include embedded content from other websites — for example, videos or linked previews. Embedded content from other sites behaves as though you have visited those sites directly and may collect data, use cookies, or track your interaction with that content. This site has no control over what those third parties collect.

6. Your rights

If you are located in the European Union, the UK, California, or another jurisdiction with applicable privacy laws, you may have rights regarding your personal data — including the right to access, correct, or request deletion of any information you have submitted through this site.

To exercise any of these rights, please use the contact form on the About page. Requests will be handled promptly and in good faith.

7. Data retention

Contact form messages are retained only as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry. Comment data, if applicable, is retained as part of the post unless you request removal. 

8. Children’s privacy

This site is not directed at children under the age of 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under that age.

9. Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated occasionally to reflect changes in how the site operates or to address new legal requirements. The date at the top of this page will always reflect when it was last revised. Continued use of the site following any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

10. Contact
