Effective Date: 17-July-2025
Last Updated: 17-July-2025

This Privacy Policy describes how Tamar Chanidze (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, stores, and protects your personal information when you visit or interact with tamarchanidze.com (the “Website”).

By using the Website, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We are fully committed to complying with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and protecting your privacy.

What Data We Collect

We may collect and process two types of data:

Information you voluntarily provide — for example, when you fill out a contact form, comment on blog posts, download free content, or subscribe to our newsletter. This may include your name, email address, and any content you submit.
Information collected automatically — such as your IP address, browser type, device information, referring URLs, and pages visited. This is collected via cookies and analytics tools and used to enhance the Website’s performance and user experience.

How We Use Your Data

We process your data for the following purposes:

To respond to inquiries or messages you send us.
To provide you with requested content such as newsletters or digital downloads.
To improve the Website’s performance, design, and functionality through usage insights.
To maintain Website security and reduce spam (e.g., using CAPTCHA or anti-spam filters).
To support features such as affiliate links or potential ads and promotions.
To meet any legal obligations.

All processing is done under a lawful basis as defined by the GDPR — typically through your consent, contractual necessity, or legitimate interest.

Third-Party Services, Sharing & External Links

To operate our Website and deliver services, we may use third-party tools and platforms that process some of your data. These third parties are selected carefully and only receive the data necessary to perform their services. They are required to keep your information secure and use it only for the agreed purpose.

We may share or disclose your data in the following ways:

With service providers such as email platforms (for newsletters), analytics tools (to understand Website traffic), and security tools (like anti-spam services).
For Website operations, including when embedding third-party features such as social sharing buttons, affiliate tracking links, or embedded media.
Some pages may include affiliate links, which track referrals and may result in a commission for us. Clicking these links may direct you to external websites with their own tracking and privacy policies.
Our Website may include links to other websites we don’t control. If you follow a third-party link, please note that we are not responsible for their privacy practices. Always review their policies separately.

We do not sell your data or share it for unrelated commercial purposes.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking tools (e.g., beacons, tags, scripts) to enhance your browsing experience and gather analytics. These tools help us:

Understand how visitors use the Website
Improve content and functionality
Track affiliate referrals and campaign performance

You can manage or disable cookies in your browser settings. However, some features may not function properly without them. For full details, please see our Cookie Policy.

Information Retention

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is required by law. Analytics and usage data are typically stored for a limited period unless needed for security or diagnostics.
