This policy explains how personal information is handled in connection with The Femme Code at femme-code.com. It covers browsing, contacting the publication, subscribing and following external links.
Who is responsible
The Femme Code is operated by Kamilla Csigás, based in Hungary, who is responsible for the purposes and use of personal data handled by the publication. For privacy questions or requests, use the Contact form and select a subject such as “Privacy request.”
Contact messages
When you use the contact form, you provide your name, email address, subject (if supplied) and message. WordPress.com processes the submission and sends a notification to the publication’s designated account email. Submissions can also be stored in the site’s administration area. Technical information may be processed to deliver the message and prevent spam.
Messages are used to answer inquiries and manage correspondence. The legal basis is the legitimate interest in responding to communications and running the publication; where an inquiry concerns a potential agreement with you, processing may also be necessary to take steps at your request before a contract. Sending a message does not sign you up for a newsletter. Required fields are identified in the form; without a reply address and message, an inquiry cannot be handled effectively.
Subscriptions and reader interactions
If you subscribe through WordPress.com, your email address and subscription preferences are used to send the updates you request. Subscription processing is based on your consent, which you can withdraw through the unsubscribe link in an email. WordPress.com may process delivery and engagement information as explained in its visitor notice.
Comments are currently closed by default. If comments are available on a particular article and you choose to comment, the submitted text, name and any public website link may appear publicly. Your email address is not published by the comment form. Technical and anti-spam information may also be processed.
Hosting, security and site statistics
This website is hosted on WordPress.com, a service provided by Automattic. Its infrastructure processes technical information such as IP addresses, browser and device information, referring pages, access times and interactions to deliver and secure the site and provide site statistics. The publication uses statistics to understand which articles are useful. See Automattic’s Privacy Notice for Visitors to Our Users’ Sites for its processing, recipients and service-specific details.
The publication’s legitimate interests include operating a secure website and understanding readership. Where consent is legally required for optional tracking, consent is the applicable basis. Automattic also has its own responsibilities and legal bases for processing under its policies.
Cookies and your choices
WordPress.com and enabled features may use cookies or similar technologies for necessary functions, preferences, statistics and, where applicable, advertising. Details of platform cookies and available controls are in Automattic’s Cookie Policy.
Use the privacy or cookie controls displayed by WordPress.com where available, together with your browser’s cookie settings, to manage choices. Blocking cookies can affect some features. This policy is information about processing; it is not itself a request for cookie consent.
Affiliate links and external websites
Articles contain affiliate links, including Amazon links. Clicking a link takes you to a separate website, whose operator may process referral information and use cookies to attribute a qualifying purchase. Purchases and payment details are handled by that retailer. See our Affiliate Disclosure and the retailer’s privacy notice.
The site also links to external services such as Pinterest. Following an external link is different from submitting information to this publication. The destination’s privacy policy applies. No personal contact messages are sent to an affiliate retailer as part of an ordinary inquiry.
Recipients and international processing
Information is accessible as needed to the site operator and the providers supporting hosting, forms, email delivery, subscriptions, statistics and spam prevention. It may also be disclosed when legally required or necessary to handle legal claims.
WordPress.com and its providers may process data outside Hungary and the European Economic Area. Automattic’s visitor notice and linked privacy policy describe its international processing and applicable transfer safeguards. External retailers and services explain their own transfers in their policies.
How long information is kept
Correspondence is retained for as long as needed to resolve the inquiry and any related follow-up, agreement or dispute, taking account of legal obligations. Subscription information is used while the subscription remains active, subject to records needed to honor an unsubscribe request. Public comments, where enabled, remain until removed or no longer needed. Provider logs, backups and service records follow the relevant provider’s retention rules. Retention depends on the purpose and applicable legal requirements rather than a single period for all data.
Your rights
Where applicable, you may request access, correction, erasure, restriction or portability of your personal data, object to processing based on legitimate interests, and withdraw consent without affecting earlier lawful processing. Use the Contact form. Identity verification may be necessary to protect your information. Requests are normally answered within one month; lawful extensions may apply.
You may complain to a competent data protection authority, including Hungary’s National Authority for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (NAIH), or the authority in the country where you live or work.
Changes to this policy
This policy will be updated when the publication’s data practices change. Any new advertising network or tracking service needs to be assessed and reflected here before activation. The date above identifies the latest revision.
