Privacy Policy

1. Data Controller Identification

This website (operating under the domain fefebvre.fun) is owned and operated by ANNA GHAZARYAN ("Company", "we", "us", or "our"), located and incorporated in the United States. We serve as the data controller responsible for the lawful collection, stewardship, and processing of personal data gathered via this publication. For all privacy, data access, or correction requests, our designated privacy contact can be reached directly at [email protected].

2. Scope and Application

This Privacy Policy explains how ANNA GHAZARYAN collects, uses, shares, and protects information gathered from visitors, readers, and clients residing in the United States and international visitors who browse our online travel journal, utilize our expedition consulting forms, or interact with our digital features.

3. Information We Collect

We collect data under three distinct operational categories:

• Data Provided Directly by You: When you complete our contact or consultation forms, we collect your full name, email address, optional contact telephone number, and the textual content of your inquiry message.
• Data Collected Automatically: When you navigate our pages, our servers and analytics infrastructure record technical parameters including your Internet Protocol (IP) address, operating system, browser type and version, referer headers, timestamps, and page interaction telemetry.
• Third-Party and Measurement Data: When activated through consent, measurement tags provide aggregated insights regarding audience demographics and engagement trends.

4. Purposes of Processing & Legal Grounds

We process personal data strictly in compliance with applicable United States state consumer privacy statutes (including the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the CPRA, VCDPA, and related frameworks) and general fair information principles:

5. Cookie Management and Google Consent Mode v2

Our website utilizes Google Consent Mode v2 (advanced integration). By default, before any explicit user action is registered on our consent banner, all non-essential storage keys—including ad_storage, analytics_storage, ad_user_data, and ad_personalization—are set to 'denied'. Only strictly necessary operational cookies remain granted. Readers retain the continuous right to modify or revoke consent at any time via the "Cookie Settings" trigger located in our universal footer.

6. Disclosure of Personal Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. Data is shared only under strict contractual safeguards with:

• Technical hosting providers and database maintainers within the United States.
• Analytics and measurement processors (e.g., Google LLC) subject to privacy frameworks and standard consent parameters.
• Legal authorities only when compelled by valid subpoena, court order, or applicable federal or state law.

7. International Data Transfers

As ANNA GHAZARYAN operates from the United States, your data will be processed on servers located within U.S. jurisdictions. If you are accessing our journal from outside the United States, you acknowledge and agree that your data is transferred subject to industry-standard physical, organizational, and electronic safeguards.

8. Data Retention Durations

Inquiry communications submitted via our forms are preserved for up to twenty-four (24) months to facilitate continuous client service and itinerary follow-up, after which they are securely purged. Server telemetry logs are refreshed and deleted on a rolling ninety (90) day schedule.

9. Your Consumer Rights & Supervisory Authority

Under United States state privacy regulations (such as California's CCPA/CPRA, overseen by the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC)), eligible consumers enjoy specific rights:

• Right to Know / Access: Request disclosure of what personal information is held regarding you.
• Right to Correct: Request correction of inaccurate personal records.
• Right to Delete: Request deletion of collected personal data, subject to legal record-keeping exemptions.
• Right to Non-Discrimination: We do not penalize, limit service quality, or alter rates should you exercise your statutory privacy rights.

To exercise any of these privileges, please send an electronic request to [email protected]. We will authenticate and respond to your verified request within 45 calendar days.

10. Children's Privacy (COPPA)

Our publication is addressed to a general adult audience interested in cultural travel and expedition design. In accordance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), we do not knowingly solicit or collect personal information from individuals under the age of 13. If you believe a minor has submitted personal information to our desk, please contact us immediately for prompt deletion.

11. Security Architecture

We deploy HTTPS cryptographic transport layer security (TLS 1.3), restricted server credentials, and routine vulnerability scanning to mitigate unauthorized access or data exposure.

12. Amendments to this Policy

We may periodically revise this policy to reflect operational, regulatory, or technical changes. Any revisions will take effect upon publication with an updated effective date header.
