Who this is about
This site, noravasik.com, is run by Alex Horovitz. If you have any questions about your data, email me at hello@noravasik.com and I'll handle it personally.
What I collect, and why
- Your email address (and first name, if you choose to add it) — only when you sign up. I use it to send you the free prologue and occasional updates about the Cascade Series. The legal basis is your consent: you asked to be on the list.
- Basic, anonymous visit stats — like how many people visited a page. This contains no personal information and isn't used to identify you.
That's it. No tracking profiles, no advertising, no data sold or rented — ever.
Who else touches your data
I use a few trusted services to run the site. They only process your data to do their job, never for their own purposes:
- MailerLite — stores my email list and sends the emails.
- Google reCAPTCHA — checks the signup form isn't a bot (it may set a cookie to do this).
- Microsoft Azure — hosts the website.
Some of these are based in the United States, so your data may be processed there under standard data-protection safeguards.
How long I keep it
I keep your email address until you unsubscribe or ask me to delete it. After that it's removed from the active list.
Your rights
Wherever you live — and especially if you're in the EU or UK under GDPR — you can:
- See what data I hold about you;
- Correct it or have it deleted;
- Withdraw your consent at any time (every email has a one-click unsubscribe);
- Ask for a copy of your data;
- Complain to your local data-protection authority if you think I've got it wrong.
To do any of these, just email hello@noravasik.com.
Cookies
The site itself doesn't use tracking or advertising cookies. The only cookie that may appear is from Google reCAPTCHA on the signup form, which exists purely to block spam.
Changes
If this policy changes, I'll update the date at the top. Material changes will be obvious — I won't bury anything.
This is a plain-language summary written to be readable, not to be exhaustive legalese. It reflects how the site actually works. If your situation has specific legal requirements, consider having it reviewed.
