Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 23, 2026
This page explains what personal information is collected on emma-riviere.com, why, and what you can do about it. It is written to be read, not just to exist.
Who is responsible for your data
emma-riviere.com is the author website of Emma Rivière, the pen name of the author of The Other Woman. The author is responsible for the personal information collected on this site.
For any question about your data, write to contact@emma-riviere.com.
What we collect
When you sign up for the free journal The Questions I Never Asked or for letters from Emma, we collect:
- your email address;
- your first name, if you choose to give it;
- your consent, with the date and time you gave it.
Nothing you write in the journal itself is ever sent to us. The journal is a PDF that stays on your device.
When you visit the site, technical information (such as your browser type and pages visited) may also be collected through cookies, only if you accept them in the cookie banner.
Why we collect it
- To send you the free journal you asked for.
- To send you occasional letters from Emma about her writing and her books. These letters are rare.
- To understand, in an anonymous and aggregated way, how visitors use the site, only if you accept analytics cookies.
We rely on your consent to do this. You can withdraw it at any time.
We never sell, rent, or share your personal information with anyone for their own marketing.
Who helps us process it
A few trusted services process your information on our behalf, only for the purposes above:
- MailerLite (UAB MailerLite, Lithuania, EU), which stores your email address and sends our emails.
- Hostinger, which hosts this website.
- Analytics tools such as Google Analytics, only if you accept analytics cookies.
Some of these providers may process data outside the European Union, including in the United States. When that happens, they rely on recognized safeguards such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses or the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.
Links to Amazon take you to Amazon’s own website, which has its own privacy policy.
How long we keep it
We keep your email address and first name for as long as you are subscribed. If you unsubscribe, you stop receiving emails immediately and your information is no longer used to contact you.
Copies of sign-up forms stored on the website are deleted regularly, and at the latest 12 months after you sign up.
Your rights
Wherever you live, you can ask us at any time to:
- see the personal information we hold about you;
- correct it;
- delete it;
- stop using it, or withdraw your consent;
- receive a copy of it in a usable format.
Just write to contact@emma-riviere.com. We will answer within 30 days.
If you live in the European Union, you can also file a complaint with your local data protection authority.
If you live in California or another U.S. state with a privacy law, please note that we do not sell or share your personal information, as those terms are defined by those laws.
Unsubscribing
Every email includes an unsubscribe link. One click is enough. You can also simply reply and ask.
Cookies
Non-essential cookies are only placed if you accept them. You can change your choice at any time through the cookie settings link at the bottom of the page.
