Privacy Policy

1) Who we are (Data Controller)

Calipso Universe is a creative mythological universe and IP project. This website presents official canon material, announcements, and information about the six-book saga, lore, music, and related releases.

The website is operated by Calipso Universe Studios, the creative production label of Calipso Universe SRL, a company registered in Bucharest, Romania. Calipso Universe SRL is the data controller responsible for personal data processed through this website.

2) What data we collect

We aim to collect as little personal data as possible. Depending on how you use the site, we may process:

• Contact form data: your name, email address, and message content when you contact us.
• Technical data: IP address, device and browser information, and basic log data used to keep the site secure and functioning.
• Analytics data: aggregated site usage metrics such as approximate location, country, and page views, when analytics is enabled.
• Media uploads, if enabled in the future: files you choose to submit through forms or uploads.

3) Why we use your data (purposes)

• To respond to messages and requests you send us.
• To operate, maintain, and secure the website.
• To understand how the site is used in aggregated form, and to improve performance and content.
• To comply with legal obligations when applicable.

4) Legal basis (GDPR)

Under the GDPR, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases:

• Consent: when you choose to contact us or accept optional cookies and analytics, where applicable.
• Legitimate interests: to keep the site secure, prevent abuse, and improve the user experience.
• Legal obligations: when we must comply with applicable laws or enforce our rights.

5) Cookies & similar technologies

Cookies are small files stored on your device. We may use essential cookies required for site functionality and security. If analytics or embedded media are enabled, additional cookies may be set by those services.

For full details on the cookies used and your control options, please see our Cookie Policy.

6) Sharing & third parties

We do not sell your personal data. We may share limited data only with service providers that help us operate the website, such as hosting, security, spam prevention, analytics, or email delivery, strictly as needed for their services.

Third-party platforms such as social networks or streaming platforms have their own privacy policies. If we link to them, your interactions on those platforms are governed by their rules.

7) International transfers

Some providers we use may process data outside the EU/EEA. Where this happens, we aim to use providers that apply appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses, to protect your data.

8) Data retention

• Contact messages: kept only as long as needed to respond and maintain a reasonable record of communication.
• Security logs: retained for a limited time to detect and prevent abuse.
• Analytics: stored in aggregated form when possible, and retained according to the analytics provider settings.

9) Your rights (EU/EEA)

If you are in the EU/EEA, you may have the right to:

• Request access to your personal data
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion in certain cases
• Object to processing in certain cases
• Request restriction of processing in certain cases
• Data portability in certain cases
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
• Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (in Romania: ANSPDCP)

To exercise these rights, contact us via Contact Us. We may ask for information to verify your request.

10) Security

We take reasonable security measures to protect this website and any data submitted through it. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11) Children

This website is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided data to us, please contact us to request removal.

12) Updates to this policy

This Privacy Policy may evolve as the Calipso Universe project grows and new features, sections, or releases are introduced. Any material changes will be reflected directly within this page to ensure continued clarity and transparency.
