At Susannah Graven Beyond the Veil .com, we prioritize your privacy. This policy explains how we handle your data when you visit our site. Here’s the essentials.

1. Cookies for Age Verification

We use cookies and localStorage to store an ageVerified flag after you confirm you’re over 21. This prevents repeated verification and expires after one year. No personal data is stored.

2. Middleware for Access Control

Our middleware checks for the ageVerified flag to grant access to content. If not verified, you’re redirected to the age verification page. No identifiable data is retained.

3. Data Protection Measures

We safeguard your information with these steps:

Minimal Collection: Only your birthday is used briefly for verification, not stored long-term.
Secure Connections: Data is sent via HTTPS encryption.
No Sharing: We don’t share verification data with third parties.
Regular Updates: Our site stays secure with updated frameworks and practices.
User Control: Clear cookies or storage anytime via browser settings.

4. Your Rights

You can refuse to provide data (limiting access) or contact us with privacy concerns.
