Love at First Sketch is designed as a space for sharing anonymous love letters, messages, drawings, and hand-drawn hints.

We take the privacy aspect of that experience seriously. At the same time, users should understand that online anonymity cannot always be guaranteed.

This Privacy Policy is intended to provide information required by applicable privacy laws, including, where applicable, the EU General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR").

  • Date and time of access.
  • Browser type.
  • Operating system.
  • Device information.
  • Language preferences.
  • Referring website.

  • Approximate location derived from an IP address, where applicable.

The exact information collected depends on our hosting, security, analytics, and other technical providers.

3.3 Cookies and Similar Technologies

We may use cookies and similar technologies to:

• • Operate the website.
  • Maintain necessary functionality.
  • Remember preferences.
  • Protect the Service.
  • Understand website usage.
  • Measure performance.
  • Improve the user experience.

Where consent is legally required, non-essential cookies will only be used after obtaining the appropriate consent.

4. How We Use Personal Information

We may process personal information to:

• • Provide and operate Love at First Sketch.
  • Display and deliver User Content.
  • Process submissions.
  • Maintain accounts, where applicable.
  • Respond to support requests.
  • Moderate content.
  • Investigate reports.
  • Prevent spam, fraud, abuse, and security incidents.
  • Protect users and the Service.

  • Understand how the Service is used.
  • Comply with legal obligations.
  • Establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
  • Communicate important service-related information.

5. Legal Bases for Processing

Where the GDPR applies, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases:

Performance of a Contract

We may process information when it is necessary to provide the Service you request or to take steps at your request before providing the Service.

Legitimate Interests

We may process information where necessary for legitimate interests such as:

• • Securing the platform.
  • Preventing abuse and fraud.
  • Moderating content.
  • Maintaining and improving the Service.
  • Protecting users and our legal rights.

We consider your privacy interests when relying on this legal basis.

Consent

We may process information based on your consent where consent is legally required or appropriate, including certain optional cookies, marketing communications, or other optional processing.

You may withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent.

Withdrawal does not affect processing that occurred before withdrawal.

Legal Obligation

We may process information when necessary to comply with a legal obligation.

Vital Interests

In exceptional circumstances, information may be processed where necessary to protect someone's vital interests, where permitted by applicable law.

6. Anonymous Content

The platform may allow you to publish a message without publicly displaying your identity.

However, you should not assume that an anonymous submission is technically impossible to associate with you.

For security, abuse prevention, legal compliance, and operational purposes, technical information may be associated with a submission.

We will not describe a submission as "completely anonymous" unless we can technically and legally support that statement. However our moderators and site owners can not access any personal information, to truly view all technical data the website needs to contact third party technicians to retrieve such information. So despite that this kind of information isn’t at ‘’our’’ disposal, we may still be able to retrieve it if need be.

7. Sensitive and Special Category Data

Please do not submit sensitive personal information about yourself or another person unless it is genuinely necessary and you have a lawful basis to do so.

This includes information such as:

• • Health information.
  • Biometric information.
  • Political opinions.
  • Precise location.
  • Government identification information.
  • Financial information.
  • Information concerning children.

Because Love at First Sketch is not designed as a platform for collecting sensitive personal information, users should avoid including such information in letters, drawings, or messages.

If you submit sensitive information, we may remove it where appropriate or process it only where we have a lawful basis to do so.

8. Children's Privacy

Love at First Sketch is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children who are below the minimum age permitted by applicable law.

If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child without the legally required consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

If you believe a child has provided personal information to us improperly, please contact:

Loveatfirstsketch.contact@gmail.com

9. Who We Share Information With

We may share personal information with trusted third parties where necessary to operate the Service or fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

These may include:

• • Website hosting providers.
  • Cloud infrastructure providers.
  • Database providers.
  • Security and anti-abuse providers.
  • Content moderation providers.
  • Email providers.
  • Analytics providers.
  • Customer-support providers.
  • Professional advisers such as lawyers, accountants, or auditors.
  • Government authorities or law enforcement where legally required or permitted.
  • Successors or transaction counterparties in connection with a merger, acquisition, restructuring, financing, or sale of assets.

We do not permit third parties to use personal information for purposes incompatible with the services they provide to us.

10. Third-Party Providers

The specific providers used by Love at First Sketch may change over time.

Before publishing this Privacy Policy, we recommend maintaining an internal list of the actual providers used by the website, including:

• • Provider name.
  • Service provided.
  • Categories of information processed.
  • Processing location.
  • Relevant privacy policy.
  • Whether the provider acts as a processor or independent controller.

Where applicable, we enter into appropriate data-processing agreements with processors.

11. International Data Transfers

Some service providers may process personal information outside your country or outside the European Economic Area.

Where GDPR applies and personal information is transferred outside the EEA, we will use an appropriate legal transfer mechanism, such as:

• • An adequacy decision.
  • Standard Contractual Clauses.
  • Another legally recognized transfer mechanism.

Where appropriate, we will also implement additional safeguards required by applicable law.

12. How Long We Keep Information

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer period is required by law.

Retention periods may depend on the type of information and the reason we collected it.

As a general framework:

• • Legal/accounting records: As required by applicable law.
  • Consent records: For as long as necessary to demonstrate and manage consent.

We may retain limited information longer where necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims or to comply with legal obligations.

13. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

Depending on the Service architecture, these measures may include:

• • Access controls.
  • Encryption in transit.
  • Secure hosting.
  • Authentication controls.
  • Monitoring and logging.
  • Backups.
  • Security updates.
  • Staff or contractor access restrictions.
  • Incident-response procedures.

No internet-based service can guarantee absolute security.

14. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights including:

Right of Access

You may request confirmation of whether we process your personal information and request a copy of that information.

Right to Erasure

You may request deletion of personal information in circumstances where the law requires or permits deletion.

Right to Withdraw Consent

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time.

Right to Complain

If you believe your privacy rights have been violated, you may lodge a complaint with the data protection authority in your country.

15. How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise your privacy rights, contact:

Privacy Contact: Loveatfirstsketch.contact@gmail.com

Please provide enough information for us to understand your request and verify your identity where reasonably necessary.

We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.

We will not normally charge a fee for exercising your rights unless applicable law permits us to do so.

16. Automated Decision-Making and Profiling

Unless otherwise stated, we do not intend to make decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects on individuals solely through automated processing.

If this changes, we will provide the notices required by applicable law.

17. Marketing

If we send optional marketing communications, we will do so only where we have an appropriate legal basis.

You can unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time using the unsubscribe mechanism provided or by contacting us.

Service-related communications that are necessary to operate your account or provide the Service may continue where permitted by law.

18. Links to Other Websites

Love at First Sketch may contain links to third-party websites or services through ads and other means.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of independent third parties.

You should review the privacy policy of any third-party service you visit.

19. Data Breaches

If a personal-data breach occurs, we will assess and respond to it in accordance with applicable data-protection law.

Where legally required, we will notify the relevant supervisory authority and/or affected individuals. However since loveatfirstsketch does not use ‘’accounts’’ or sign-ups such data breaches will be very limited.

20. User-Submitted Personal Information

You are responsible for considering what information you include in a letter, message, drawing, or other submission.

Do not publish:

• • Another person's home address.
  • Private telephone number.
  • Private email address.
  • Passwords.
  • Financial details.
  • Government identification numbers.
  • Private medical information.
  • Confidential correspondence.
  • Other information that could reasonably put someone at risk.

If you accidentally publish private information, contact us promptly at loveatfirstsketch.contact@gmail.com

21. Deletion Requests for User Content

If you want to request deletion of content you submitted, contact: loveatfirstsketch.contact@gmail.com

We will assess the request under applicable law and our technical capabilities.

Some information may need to be retained where required by law or where reasonably necessary for security, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, or legal claims.

22. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date and, where appropriate, provide additional notice.
