Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2025

The short version: This website collects only what you choose to share via the contact form. I don't track you, I don't sell your data, and I don't send unsolicited emails. Ever.

Who runs this website

This website is run by Silvia Piccinotti, author of Magical and Unusual Solar Eclipse. It is a personal author website, not a commercial platform. You can reach me via the contact form on the main page.

What information I collect

The only personal information this website collects is what you voluntarily provide through the contact form: your name, your email address, a subject line, and your message. Nothing is collected automatically — there are no tracking cookies, no analytics scripts, and no advertising pixels on this site.

How I use your information

I use the information you send me solely to respond to your message. I will never use your email address to send you newsletters, promotions, or any unsolicited communication. I will never share your contact details with any third party.

Where your data goes

Contact form submissions are processed by Formspree, a third-party form service. Formspree receives your submission and forwards it to my email inbox. You can read Formspree's own privacy policy at formspree.io/legal/privacy-policy. I do not store your submissions in any database of my own.

Cookies and tracking

This website does not use cookies. It does not use Google Analytics or any other analytics service. It does not contain any advertising or tracking scripts. The only external services loaded are Google Fonts (for typography) and Leaflet.js (for the interactive map) — neither of these tracks you personally.

Children's privacy

This website is designed for a general audience including families with children. I do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 13. If you believe a child has submitted personal information through this site, please contact me and I will delete it promptly.

Your rights

You have the right to ask me what information I hold about you, to request its deletion, or to correct it. Since the only information I could have is from a contact form submission you sent me, simply email me and I will take care of it immediately.

Changes to this policy

If I ever make meaningful changes to this policy, I will update the date at the top of this page. Given the simplicity of this site, significant changes are unlikely.

Questions

If you have any questions about this privacy policy, please use the contact form on the main page and I'll be happy to help.
