Privacy and Cookie Policy

1. Who we are

This Privacy Policy explains how Mianaralife handles personal data when you visit https://mianaralife.com/ or send us feedback. In short: the website has no user accounts, nothing is sold or used for marketing, and the only personal data we deliberately receive is what you choose to type into the contact form.

The website is operated by Timea Erdélyi, an individual based in Brno, Czech Republic, under the name Mianaralife. She is the data controller under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

2. What data is processed

Mianaralife is a public, non-commercial website with an international audience. It has no user registration, no login, no shop and no advertising. We do not use third-party analytics or tracking tools such as Google Analytics, and we do not build visitor profiles. The only statistics we see are aggregated visitor statistics generated by Bluehost’s server log analysis tools (such as AWStats or Webalizer). These tools work from server log files and do not use cookies or place tracking scripts in your browser. We use the statistics to understand overall traffic, not to identify individual visitors. We also use Google Search Console, which shows us aggregated information about how the website appears in Google Search. It does not place cookies or scripts on your device and does not identify individual visitors to us.

Personal data reaches us in only two ways:

Source Data Who handles it
Contact form (voluntary) Name (optional), email address (optional), feedback score, message text, plus anything else you write Mianaralife, via email
Visiting the website Technical data such as IP address, browser and device information, pages requested, date and time Bluehost (hosting provider)

If you do not use the contact form, we do not receive any personal data from you. We do not ask for sensitive personal data, and we ask you not to include it in your message.

3. Contact form and feedback

Using the contact form is entirely voluntary. Name and email address are optional; you can leave a score and message without identifying yourself. If you want a reply, you need to give an email address.

Purpose. We use submitted data only to read your feedback and, if you ask for one, to reply to you. We do not use it for marketing, newsletters, profiling or automated decision-making, and we do not share it with third parties for their own purposes.

Legal basis. Consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. By submitting the form you consent to us processing what you entered for the purpose above. You can withdraw consent at any time by asking us to delete your data.

Storage and deletion. Submissions are delivered to the email address mianaralife@gmail.com. We delete personal data submitted this way automatically every 90 days. If you want it removed sooner, ask through the same contact form (or by email) and we will delete it within 30 days. The 90-day deletion applies in any case.

Email service. Because submissions arrive in a Gmail mailbox, Google acts as our email service provider and processes the messages on our behalf.

4. Hosting and international transfers

The website is hosted by Bluehost (headquartered at 5335 Gate Parkway, Jacksonville, Florida, USA; servers in Utah, USA). Bluehost provides the infrastructure needed to run the site and may process and store information transmitted through or generated by it, including IP addresses, browser information and server logs, for operation, security and performance. The server logs are also the basis of the aggregated visitor statistics described in section 2.

Legal basis. Our legitimate interest in running a secure and functioning website, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We do not control how long Bluehost keeps its server logs. See Bluehost’s Privacy Policy for details.

Transfers outside the EU/EEA. The owner is in the Czech Republic, but the website’s servers are in the United States. Your technical data, and any contact form data processed on the site, may therefore be transferred to and stored in the USA, which may not offer the same level of data protection as the EU. Such transfers rely on the safeguards of the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF), under which the European Commission has found that certified US organizations provide an adequate level of protection, and on which Bluehost relies for such transfers. You can ask us for information about the safeguards in use by emailing mianaralife@gmail.com.

5. Social media plugins

The website embeds YouTube videos and has share buttons on blog posts, songs and poems for YouTube, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, Facebook and TikTok, so you can share content. Links to our profiles on these platforms are ordinary links: nothing is sent to the platform until you click one. These platforms are operated by third parties, mostly outside the EU.

When a plugin or embedded content loads, or when you click a share or follow button, your browser may connect to that platform and send it technical data such as your IP address and the page you are on. If you are logged in to the platform, it may link the visit to your account. We do not control or receive this data. Each platform is an independent controller under its own privacy policy, so please review those before using the buttons:

  • LinkedIn
  • Facebook (Meta)
  • Instagram
  • X
  • TikTok
  • YouTube (Google)

Cookies set by these plugins are covered in section 6.

6. Cookie policy

Cookies are small text files that a website or a third party stores on your device. Similar technologies, such as local storage or tracking pixels, work in comparable ways and are treated as cookies in this policy.

What we use. Mianaralife does not use advertising, tracking or analytics cookies, and does not add third-party analytics or marketing tools. The only analytics we see is the aggregated visitor statistics from Bluehost’s server log analysis tools, which work from server logs and use no cookies or scripts in your browser. These are the only categories that can appear when you use the website:

Category Purpose Set by Your consent
Strictly necessary Make the website and the contact form work and keep them secure Mianaralife, its hosting provider and the website software Not required
Third-party (social media) Load embedded content and share or follow buttons for YouTube, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, Facebook and TikTok. The platforms may use them to recognize you and, if you are logged in, link the visit to your account The respective platform Required

Legal basis. Under Art. 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive (Directive 2002/58/EC) and Section 89(3) of the Czech Electronic Communications Act (Act No. 127/2005 Coll.), cookies that are not strictly necessary need your prior consent, and strictly necessary cookies are exempt. Consent must meet the requirements of Art. 4(11) and Art. 7 GDPR, and you can withdraw it at any time.

Managing cookies. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, and you can avoid the social media features altogether. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the website from working. For cookies set by social media platforms, see the platforms’ own cookie and privacy policies listed in section 5.

Questions. Write to mianaralife@gmail.com.

7. Retention, sharing and security

Data Kept for
Contact form submissions Deleted automatically every 90 days; earlier on request, within 30 days
Server logs at Bluehost According to Bluehost’s own retention practices

Sharing. We do not sell or rent personal data. It is shared only with the service providers described above (Bluehost for hosting, Google for email) and where the law requires us to disclose it.

Security. We keep the mailbox that receives submissions protected and limit access to the site owner. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so please do not send sensitive information through the form.

8. Your rights

Under the GDPR you have the right to:

  • access the personal data we hold about you and get a copy of it
  • rectify inaccurate data
  • erasure of your data (“right to be forgotten”)
  • restrict or object to processing in certain cases
  • data portability where it applies
  • withdraw consent at any time, without affecting processing done before the withdrawal

To use any of these rights, write to mianaralife@gmail.com or use the website’s contact form. For a deletion request we act within 30 days, and in any case contact form data is deleted automatically after 90 days. We may need to confirm that a request comes from you before we act on it.

Complaints. You may lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, in particular in your country of residence. The authority responsible for the website owner is the Czech Office for Personal Data Protection (Úřad pro ochranu osobních údajů, https://uoou.gov.cz/). We would appreciate the chance to resolve your concern first.

9. Children, explicit content, changes and contact

Children. The website is not intended for children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their personal data. If you believe a child under 13 has sent us personal data, contact us and we will delete it.

Explicit content. Some poems and song lyrics on the website contain explicit content. Such pieces are marked in their descriptions.

External links. The website may link to other sites and platforms. We are not responsible for their privacy practices.

Changes. We may update this policy when the website or the law changes. The current version is always published on this page, with the date of the last update at the top.
