Last updated: October 20, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Lurvan (“we”, “us” or “our”) collects, uses and shares information when you visit lurvan.com (the “Site”), subscribe to our emails, or contact us. By using the Site you agree to the practices described here.
1. Who we are
Lurvan is an independent publisher of tarot, astrology and psychic-reading content. We are the data controller for the personal information described in this policy. For any privacy question or request, contact us at contact@lurvan.com or through our contact page.
2. Information you provide to us
We only receive personal information when you choose to give it to us:
- Contact form or email. Your name, email address and the content of your message.
- Newsletter subscription. Your email address and, if you provide it, your first name.
- Comments. The name, email address and comment text you submit.
- Survey or quiz responses. Any answers you voluntarily submit.
We do not ask for, and ask that you never send us, sensitive information such as health data, government identifiers, or payment card details.
3. Information collected automatically
When you browse the Site, our hosting provider and third-party services record technical information, including:
- IP address (often truncated or anonymised before storage),
- browser type, version, language and operating system,
- device type and approximate location derived from IP (city or country level),
- pages viewed, time on page, referring URL and exit links,
- cookie identifiers and similar technical identifiers.
4. Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use them, and allow selected third parties to use them, for three purposes:
- Strictly necessary. Keeping the Site functional and secure, remembering consent choices.
- Analytics. Understanding which articles are read and how visitors move through the Site, so we can improve it. This data is used in aggregate.
- Advertising. Serving and measuring ads, and limiting how often you see the same ad.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect how the Site works. Where required by law, we ask for your consent before setting non-essential cookies and you can withdraw it at any time through the consent banner or your browser settings.
5. Advertising and Google AdSense
The Site is supported by advertising. We use Google AdSense to display ads.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this Site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- You can also opt out of third-party vendor cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info or Your Online Choices (EU/UK).
For visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, personalised advertising is served only where a Google-certified consent management platform has collected valid consent. Refusing consent does not remove ads; it means the ads you see are not personalised.
6. Analytics
We use privacy-respecting, aggregate analytics to understand readership. Analytics data is not used to identify you personally, and we do not attempt to link it to your identity.
7. Affiliate links and third-party platforms
Some outbound links on the Site are affiliate links. When you click one, the affiliate network may set a cookie on your device to attribute a resulting purchase to us. That processing is controlled by the relevant platform, not by us. See our Affiliate Disclosure for details.
8. How we use your information
- to reply to your messages and provide support,
- to send newsletters you have asked for (you can unsubscribe from any email),
- to operate, secure and improve the Site,
- to measure content performance and advertising,
- to comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Use.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share your email address with advertisers.
9. Legal bases for processing (EEA and UK visitors)
Where the EU or UK GDPR applies, we rely on these legal bases: your consent (non-essential cookies, newsletters); our legitimate interests (operating and securing the Site, aggregate analytics, preventing abuse) balanced against your rights; and legal obligation where we must retain or disclose information.
10. Sharing and disclosure
We share information only with service providers that help us run the Site (hosting, email delivery, analytics, advertising), under contracts that limit their use of it; with authorities where we are legally required to do so; and with a successor entity if the Site is sold or transferred. We do not otherwise disclose your personal information.
11. Data retention
Contact messages are kept for up to 24 months so we can handle follow-ups. Newsletter records are kept until you unsubscribe, plus a short suppression record so we do not email you again. Server logs are rotated automatically by our hosting provider, typically within 30 days.
12. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have some or all of the following rights:
- access to the personal information we hold about you,
- correction of inaccurate information,
- deletion of your information,
- restriction of, or objection to, processing,
- portability of information you provided to us,
- withdrawal of consent at any time, without affecting processing already carried out,
- the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
California residents. Under the CCPA/CPRA you have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request its deletion or correction, and to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information. We do not sell personal information and we do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising except through the advertising cookies described above, which you can control through the consent banner or your browser. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.
To exercise any right, email contact@lurvan.com. We may need to verify your request before acting on it and will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.
13. Children’s privacy
The Site is written for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16 (or under 13 in the United States). If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
14. International transfers
Our hosting provider and the third-party services we use may process information outside your country, including in the United States. Where required, transfers rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.
15. Security
The Site is served over HTTPS and we apply reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the information we hold. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
16. Links to other sites
Articles may link to third-party websites, including tarot and psychic-reading platforms. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices; please review their policies before providing personal information.
17. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the Site or applicable law changes. The “Last updated” date at the top always reflects the current version. Material changes will be announced on this page.
18. Contact
