Privacy Policy

Effective Date: October 1, 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how Mark, operating the website VengaDragon.com (the “Site”), collects, uses, and protects any personal information you provide when you use the Site.

1. Information We Collect

We only collect minimal information necessary for the operation of the Site. This information generally falls into two categories:

a. Information You Directly Provide to Us (Voluntary Submission)

This is information you willingly and actively provide, primarily through contact forms or email sign-ups:

  • Email Address: Collected when you voluntarily subscribe to a newsletter, submit a comment, or use a contact form to reach Mark.

b. Information Collected Automatically (Usage Data)

When you visit the Site, certain data is automatically collected by our servers and third-party services (like website analytics or hosting logs). This data is often non-personally identifiable unless combined with other information:

  • Log Data: Information about your device and network, including your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, operating system, and the date and time of your visit.
  • Cookies and Tracking: We may use basic cookies or similar technologies to help the Site function (like remembering basic site preferences) and to gather limited, aggregated statistics about our visitors (e.g., which pages are most popular). These cookies generally track browsing behavior on the Site itself.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for the following specific purposes:

  • To Respond to You: To reply to your inquiries, comments, or requests submitted via email or a contact form (using the Email Address you provided).
  • To Send Communications (if subscribed): To send you newsletters, updates, or other information only if you have explicitly opted-in to receive them (using the Email Address you provided).
  • To Maintain and Improve the Site: To monitor the technical functioning of the Site, analyze user traffic and usage patterns (using Usage Data), and ensure the Site is stable and secure.
  • To Link to Other Content: As the Site is a hub, any links you click will take you to Mark’s content on third-party platforms (like YouTube, social media, etc.). These third-party sites have their own privacy policies.

3. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes. We only share your information in the following limited circumstances:

  • Service Providers: We may share data with trusted third-party services that perform functions on our behalf, such as website hosting, basic analytics (e.g., Google Analytics to see how many people visit), or email newsletter distribution. These third parties are obligated to protect your data and only use it for the purposes we specify.
  • Legal Requirements: If required by law, subpoena, or other legal process, we may disclose your information to government authorities or third parties.
  • With Your Consent: We may share information with other third parties when you explicitly consent to the sharing.

4. Children’s Privacy and Age Restrictions

The Site is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

  • If you are under 13, please do not submit any personal information through the Site. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without verification of parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information promptly.

4.a. Restriction on Use by Minors (Under 18)

By accessing or using the Site, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old or are using the Site with verifiable parental consent and supervision.

The Site is intended for use by individuals who are 18 years of age or older.

If you are between 13 and 18 years of age (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction), you may only access and use the Site with the consent and supervision of your parent or legal guardian.

5. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding the personal information we hold about you. You have the right to:

  • Opt-Out of Marketing: You can choose to stop receiving our newsletter or promotional emails by following the unsubscribe link included in those emails.
  • Access, Correction, or Deletion: You may contact us to request access to the personal information we hold about you, to correct any inaccurate information, or to request the deletion of your personal information.
  • Withdraw Consent: Where we rely on your consent to process your information, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the contact information provided below.

6. Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to help protect the limited personal information we collect from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no internet transmission is ever completely secure or error-free.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the new Privacy Policy on this page and update the “Effective Date” at the top of this policy. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
