detect technical problems;
prevent misuse;
investigate suspicious activity;
improve website performance.

Where applicable, this processing is based on our legitimate interest in maintaining a secure and functional website.

Website Analytics

5. Legal Bases for Processing

Depending on the circumstances, Eryndor Publishing may rely on:

Consent

Where you have freely given permission for a specific type of processing, such as subscribing to certain marketing communications.

Contract

Where processing is necessary to enter into or perform an agreement with you.

Where processing is necessary for a legitimate business interest and those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms.

Examples may include:

responding to correspondence;
operating and securing our website;
maintaining business relationships;
protecting our rights;
preventing misuse of our services.

Where required, we assess whether our legitimate interests are proportionate and compatible with your privacy rights.

6. Contact Forms

If you use a contact form on our website, we may process:

your name;
email address;
subject;
message;
date and time of submission;
relevant technical information required to prevent misuse or spam.

This information is used to respond to your request and manage related correspondence.

Please do not submit sensitive or confidential personal information unless it is genuinely necessary for your enquiry.

When you email Eryndor Publishing, we process the information contained in your email and any associated correspondence.

Emails may be retained where reasonably necessary for:

handling your enquiry;
maintaining business records;
documenting agreements or decisions;
resolving disputes;

If a newsletter is available and you choose to subscribe, we may process:

your email address;

communication preferences;
unsubscribe information;
technical delivery information where necessary.

You can unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe option provided in our emails or by contacting:

info@eryndorpublishing.com

We will not require you to remain subscribed as a condition of accessing ordinary website content.

9. Cookies

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies.

Some cookies are necessary for the website to function.

Other cookies, including certain analytics, advertising or tracking technologies, may require your consent.

Where consent is legally required, those technologies should not be activated until you have made your choice.

You can find more information in our Cookie Policy and, where available, manage your preferences through the website’s cookie settings.

10. Social Media

Eryndor Publishing may maintain accounts on platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and other social networks.

If you interact with us through those platforms, the platform provider may independently process personal information under its own privacy policy.

This may occur when you:

follow our account;
comment on content;
send a message;
share a post;
interact with embedded social media content.

Eryndor Publishing does not control all processing performed independently by social media platforms.

We recommend reviewing the privacy information provided by the relevant platform.

11. Embedded Content

Some pages may contain content provided by third parties, such as:

videos;
social media posts;
retailer links;
music players;
external media;
other embedded services.

These services may collect information when you interact with them.

Where such technologies require consent, they should only be loaded after the appropriate consent has been provided.

Third-party providers process information according to their own privacy policies.

12. External Retailers

Our website may direct visitors to external retailers or distribution platforms where books can be purchased.

When you visit or purchase from an external retailer, that retailer generally processes your personal information independently under its own privacy policy.

Eryndor Publishing does not automatically receive your complete customer account or payment information merely because a purchase concerns one of our books.

The retailer’s own privacy terms apply to information collected directly by that retailer.

13. Payment Information

Unless expressly stated otherwise, Eryndor Publishing does not directly collect payment-card information for purchases made through independent external retailers.

Payment details provided to an external bookseller, payment provider or sales platform are handled according to that provider’s terms and privacy practices.

If direct sales are introduced in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated where necessary.

14. Service Providers

We may use third-party service providers to help operate our website and publishing activities.

Depending on the services used, these providers may assist with matters such as:

website hosting;
email services;
website security;
contact forms;
analytics;
newsletter delivery;
technical support;
file storage;
website administration.

Where a service provider processes personal information on our behalf, appropriate arrangements will be used where required by law.

Service providers are only permitted to process information for authorised purposes and subject to applicable legal requirements.

15. Sharing Personal Information

We do not sell personal information.

Personal information may be shared where reasonably necessary with:

service providers acting on our behalf;
professional advisers;
technology providers;
hosting providers;
email or newsletter providers;
business partners where necessary for a specific request;
public authorities where legally required.

We may also disclose information where necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal rights or protect Eryndor Publishing against fraud, abuse or unlawful activity.

16. International Data Transfers

Some service providers may operate outside the Netherlands or the European Economic Area.

Where personal information is transferred to a country outside the European Economic Area, we aim to ensure that an appropriate legal mechanism or safeguard is used where required.

Depending on the circumstances, this may include:

an adequacy decision adopted by the European Commission;
appropriate contractual safeguards;
another transfer mechanism permitted under applicable data protection law.

17. How Long We Keep Personal Information

We do not intend to keep personal information for longer than necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

Retention periods depend on the type of information and the reason for processing.

For example:

General Enquiries

Ordinary correspondence will generally be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to deal with the enquiry and any relevant follow-up.

Business Correspondence

Business correspondence may be retained for longer where necessary to maintain records of agreements, rights, licences, professional relationships or other business matters.

Newsletter Information

Subscription information may be retained for as long as you remain subscribed.

After unsubscribing, limited information may be retained where necessary to demonstrate that your opt-out request has been respected.

Legal and Financial Records

Information that must be retained under applicable legal, accounting or tax requirements may be stored for the legally required period.

Technical and Security Information

Technical information may be retained for a limited period where necessary for website security, troubleshooting and prevention of misuse.

When information is no longer required, it will be deleted, anonymised or otherwise handled in accordance with applicable requirements.

18. Security

Eryndor Publishing takes reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against:

unauthorised access;
accidental loss;
alteration;
disclosure;
misuse;
destruction.

However, no internet transmission or digital storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Visitors should therefore also take appropriate care when sending information online.

19. Your Privacy Rights

Subject to the conditions and exceptions contained in applicable law, you may have the right to:

Rectification

Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete personal information.

Object to Direct Marketing

You may object to the use of your personal information for direct marketing at any time.

20. Exercising Your Rights

Please clearly state which right you wish to exercise and provide enough information for us to identify the relevant records.

We may request reasonable information to verify your identity before completing a request where necessary to prevent unauthorised disclosure.

Requests will be handled in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

21. Complaints

If you have concerns about how Eryndor Publishing processes your personal information, you are encouraged to contact us first so that we can review the matter.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant data protection supervisory authority.

For organisations established in the Netherlands, the supervisory authority is:

Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens
(Dutch Data Protection Authority)

You can find current contact and complaint information through the official website of the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens.

22. Automated Decision-Making

Eryndor Publishing does not currently intend to make decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects on individuals solely through automated processing.

If this changes, this Privacy Policy will be updated as required.

23. Children’s Privacy

This website is intended as a general publishing and book-information website.

We do not intentionally use this website to collect unnecessary personal information from children.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information in circumstances where this should not have occurred, please contact:

info@theworldoferyndor.com

We will review the matter and take appropriate action where required.

24. Sensitive Personal Information

We do not generally need sensitive categories of personal information through this website.

Visitors should avoid including information concerning matters such as health, religion, political opinions, sexual orientation, biometric information or other particularly sensitive matters in ordinary contact forms or correspondence unless genuinely necessary.

25. No Sale of Personal Information

Eryndor Publishing does not sell personal information to data brokers or advertisers.

Where third-party services are used on the website, their independent processing may be subject to their own privacy policies and applicable consent requirements.

26. Links to Other Websites

Our website may contain links to external websites.

Eryndor Publishing is not responsible for the privacy practices of websites operated independently by third parties.

We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any external website before providing personal information.

27. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when:

our website changes;
we introduce new services;
our data-processing activities change;
we use new service providers;
applicable legal requirements change.

The current version will be published on this page.
