Privacy Policy

1. Who this website is for

Conan & Camila Rau is an independent author website presenting our fiction, research and editorial work to an international audience. We operate from Kazakhstan. RAU STUDIO is our publishing imprint; this draft does not describe it as a separately registered company.

For privacy enquiries, please contact couplewriterss@gmail.com. The responsible operator’s formal identification and any legally required contact particulars remain subject to confirmation before the final policy is adopted.

2. What the current website collects

The current website offers publicly readable pages, illustrations and links. It has no visitor account system, active newsletter registration, direct checkout or website payment form. The displayed Reader Letters controls are inactive and do not submit or store an email address.

The custom website code does not maintain a subscriber database and does not request payment-card details.

3. Contact enquiries

If you choose to email us, your email service sends us the address, message content and any information or attachments you include. We use correspondence to read and respond to the enquiry and to handle relevant follow-up. Please avoid sending sensitive information that is not needed for your enquiry.

The proposed policy is to keep contact correspondence separate from marketing subscriptions. Sending an enquiry will not, by itself, be treated as consent to receive Reader Letters.

4. Cookies, browser storage and analytics

No advertising pixels, audience-analytics services or cookie-consent platform have been added to the custom website code. That code does not set cookies or use local storage or session storage to save visitor information.

The hosting platform delivers the pages and may have its own security or operational technologies. The final policy must identify any platform-level cookies, logs or processing after those practices have been verified. This draft does not promise that a hosting platform processes no technical data.

5. Technical delivery and storage

Delivering web pages involves requests to the hosting platform. Those requests can contain technical information such as an IP address, browser information and the requested page. The precise logging, retention, processing roles and storage arrangements have not been established by this website-code review.

Correspondence sent to our contact address is handled through the email services used by the sender and recipient. The website itself does not save a copy of an email enquiry.

6. External services

Kobo is an external book retailer. Instagram and YouTube are external social platforms. Following their links takes you to those services, where their own privacy information and terms apply. Our pages do not complete a Kobo purchase or transfer an email signup to those platforms.

No newsletter provider or direct-payment provider has been activated. A future integration would require a separate review of its data flows, privacy information and consent process before activation.

7. Retention and deletion

The proposed approach is to retain enquiry information only for as long as needed to respond, resolve relevant follow-up and meet applicable obligations. A specific retention schedule and deletion procedure must be approved and implemented before they are represented as an established practice.

You may write to the contact address to ask about information connected with your enquiry or to request correction or deletion. We may need enough information to identify the relevant correspondence without collecting more identification than the request requires.

8. International handling and rights

The authors are based in Kazakhstan and the website is intended for readers in different countries. Hosting, email or external platforms may involve processing outside a visitor’s country. Exact processing locations and any required transfer arrangements must be confirmed before the final policy is adopted.

Requests concerning access, correction, deletion, consent or other applicable rights can be sent to couplewriterss@gmail.com. The applicable requirements, verification process and response procedures need jurisdiction-specific review. This draft makes no claim of blanket compliance with the GDPR or any other particular framework.

9. Policy updates

If the site’s functionality or data-handling practices change, the policy should be reviewed before those changes are activated. The approved policy will identify its effective version when published. No final effective date has been assigned to this draft.
