The Violet Route · Your privacy matters

Privacy Policy

We respect your privacy and aim to explain clearly how information is handled when you visit The Violet Route.

Website: thevioletroute.com · Last updated: 17 October 2026

1. Who we are

This website, The Violet Route, is operated by Graciele Rodrigues Maciel, the person responsible for the processing of personal data described in this policy. For privacy-related questions, contact hello@thevioletroute.com.

2. Information we may process

You can browse our articles and product information without creating an account or submitting a registration form. When you visit the website, certain technical information may be processed automatically by our hosting provider, WordPress, security tools or other services enabled on the site. Depending on configuration, this can include IP address, browser and device information, visited pages, access times, and technical logs.

If you contact us by email, we process the information you choose to send, such as your email address and message, to respond to your enquiry.

3. Why we process information

Where applicable, we process information to operate and secure the website, deliver requested pages, respond to messages, meet legal obligations, and manage cookie preferences. Under the GDPR, the legal basis depends on the specific processing activity and may include legitimate interests, contractual necessity, legal obligations or consent. Optional technologies that require consent should not be activated before that consent is obtained.

4. Cookies and consent choices

Our website uses the Complianz consent-management plugin to present cookie choices where required. Cookies and similar technologies may be used for essential website functions and, only if configured and permitted, other purposes such as statistics or third-party content.

The precise cookies, providers, retention periods and categories depend on the services currently enabled on the website. Please refer to the cookie notice or cookie policy generated by the site's consent-management tool for the current details and available consent controls.

5. Affiliate links and external websites

Some pages contain affiliate links to third-party product websites. If you follow an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you. When you click such a link, the third-party website or affiliate network may process technical data and use tracking technologies according to its own privacy policy and applicable consent requirements.

We do not control the privacy practices of third-party websites. Please review their privacy information before providing personal or payment details. Purchases made on external checkout pages are handled by the relevant seller or payment provider, not directly by The Violet Route.

6. Embedded content and third-party services

Articles or pages may contain links to external resources. If embedded media, fonts, analytics, anti-spam services or other third-party features are enabled, they may involve additional data processing. Their use and any associated consent requirements must be reflected in the live cookie settings and this policy.

7. Data sharing and international transfers

Personal data may be processed by service providers needed to operate the website, such as hosting and technical security providers, or by third parties you choose to visit through external links. Some providers may operate outside your country. Where the GDPR applies, transfers outside the European Economic Area require an appropriate legal mechanism or other lawful basis.

8. How long information is kept

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose, including website security, answering enquiries, or meeting legal obligations. Actual retention periods for technical logs and cookies depend on the hosting provider and services in use and should be reflected in their relevant documentation.

9. Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live and the laws that apply, you may have rights to access, correct, erase or restrict the processing of your personal data, object to certain processing, request data portability, and withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with an appropriate data-protection authority.

To make a privacy request, email hello@thevioletroute.com. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests.

10. Security

We take reasonable steps to protect information handled through the website. However, no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.

11. Children

This website is intended for a general audience and is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from children through registration forms. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when our website, services, technologies or legal obligations change. The date at the top indicates the latest revision.
