• Direct Inquiries: If you reach out to our editorial desk via email or contact forms, we collect your contact details and correspondence contents solely to address your inquiry.

When you browse our website, certain technical usage data is collected automatically to ensure system stability, DDoS protection, and responsive viewport formatting:

• IP address (partially anonymized where applicable)
• Browser type and version
• Device type and operating system
• Pages visited and duration of visit
• Referring website URL
• Date and time of your visit

1.3 Information From Other Sources

We do not acquire, purchase, or trade third-party consumer profiling databases or commercial lead lists. We only transmit communications where we have a legitimate legal basis to do so under applicable laws.

2. Legal Bases for Processing

2.1 Consent

We collect and process your personal information when you have provided clear, affirmative consent, such as subscribing to our newsletter.

2.2 Contractual Obligations

We process your data to deliver the editorial content, services, and subscription features you have requested.

2.3 Legal Compliance

We may process your data when necessary to satisfy statutory obligations, including maintaining mandatory email suppression lists required by anti-spam statutes.

2.4 Legitimate Interests

We may process technical information to pursue our legitimate business interests, including network security, fraud prevention, and performance monitoring, provided such processing does not override your fundamental rights.

3. How We Use Your Information

• To deliver our newsletter articles, essays, and editorial publications
• To administer and maintain our website, including troubleshooting and performance analytics
• To protect our digital infrastructure from bot traffic, abuse, and malicious activities
• To measure and optimize readership engagement and content delivery
• To fulfill subscriber unsubscribe and data rights requests

We never sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third-party data brokers or advertisers.

4. Email Communications (CAN-SPAM Compliance)

By subscribing to our newsletter, you agree to receive editorial email communications from LunaRefine. In compliance with the U.S. CAN-SPAM Act and international anti-spam standards, every email we transmit will:

• Clearly and truthfully identify the sender as LunaRefine
• Display our operational legal address in every footer: Aurorabeat, 620 Market Avenue, Suite 805, San Francisco, CA 94105, USA
• Include an automated, clear, functional single-click unsubscribe link
• Never utilize deceptive subject headers or misleading routing data

You may unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link included in every email. Opt-out requests are processed automatically and honored promptly within statutory timelines, well under the 10 business days mandated by law.

5. Where Your Information Is Stored

Your data is processed and stored on secure cloud database clusters located in the United States and European Union. We employ robust administrative, technical, and physical safeguards, including TLS 1.3 encryption in transit and AES-256 encryption at rest, to guarantee high-level data security.

6. How Long We Keep Your Information

We retain personal information only for the duration necessary to satisfy the purposes set out herein and to comply with legal obligations. If you unsubscribe from our dispatches, your email address is transferred to a secure, cryptographic suppression list to guarantee that our delivery systems never send future communications to your address.

7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website utilizes minimal, strictly necessary local storage keys and technical cookies (such as sliding-window rate-limiting counters to prevent form abuse and accessibility preferences like reduced motion). We do not deploy invasive cross-site tracking cookies. You may configure your browser to disable cookies at any time.

8. Data Security

We implement comprehensive technical, organizational, and physical security measures designed to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, loss, alteration, or disclosure. All web communications are transmitted over end-to-end HTTPS/TLS.

Our website and newsletters may contain links to external websites, articles, or resources. We hold no control over, and accept no responsibility for, the content, privacy practices, or policies of any third-party websites.
