1. Personal Data We Collect

We aim to collect only the personal data necessary to operate Becoming 366 and provide the services you choose to use.

Newsletter information

If you subscribe to The Becoming Letter, we collect your email address.

The newsletter uses a double opt-in process. This means that after submitting your email address, you may be asked to confirm your subscription through a confirmation email before your subscription becomes active.

Technical information

When you visit the website, certain technical information may be processed automatically by our website infrastructure and service providers. This may include information such as:

  • IP address
  • browser type
  • device information
  • operating system
  • request and security information
  • date and time of access
  • information necessary to deliver and protect the website

This information is primarily processed through our website infrastructure provider, Cloudflare.

Local browser storage

Becoming 366 may use local browser storage, such as localStorage, for basic website functionality and user-experience features.

For example, local storage may be used to remember whether you have already seen certain website elements, whether an article has been marked as read, or similar preferences.

More information about cookies, local storage and similar technologies is available in our Cookie Policy.

2. How We Use Your Personal Data

We may use personal data for the following purposes:

  • to manage subscriptions to The Becoming Letter;
  • to send newsletter emails, welcome emails, Journal updates and other content you have chosen to receive;
  • to process subscription confirmations and unsubscribe requests;
  • to operate, maintain and deliver the Becoming 366 website;
  • to maintain the security, integrity and technical performance of the website;
  • to understand aggregated website usage, such as visits, page views and referrers, through privacy-friendly analytics;
  • to remember certain website preferences or interactions;
  • to respond when you contact us;
  • to comply with applicable legal obligations; and
  • to establish, exercise or defend legal claims where necessary.

We do not sell your personal data.

3. Legal Bases for Processing

Under the GDPR, we rely on different legal bases depending on the type and purpose of processing.

Consent

When you subscribe to The Becoming Letter, we process your email address based on your consent.

You may withdraw your consent at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in our emails or by contacting us at hello@becoming366.com.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.

Legitimate interests

Certain limited technical processing may be necessary for our legitimate interests in operating, securing, maintaining and improving the basic functionality of the Becoming 366 website.

Where we rely on legitimate interests, we consider those interests against your rights and freedoms.

Legal obligations

We may process or retain information where necessary to comply with legal obligations applicable to us.

4. The Becoming Letter and MailerLite

The Becoming Letter is managed using MailerLite, an email marketing service provider.

When you subscribe, your email address and information relating to your subscription may be processed through MailerLite for purposes such as:

  • recording and confirming your subscription;
  • managing your subscriber status;
  • delivering emails;
  • processing unsubscribe requests; and
  • maintaining information necessary for the operation and security of the mailing service.

MailerLite acts as a service provider in connection with these activities and processes personal data according to its applicable privacy and data-processing terms.

You are not required to subscribe to The Becoming Letter in order to browse the Becoming 366 website.

5. Cloudflare

Becoming 366 uses Cloudflare for website infrastructure, content delivery, DNS and security-related services.

When you access the website, Cloudflare may process technical information, including your IP address and request information, as necessary to deliver and protect the website.

This processing helps us provide a secure, reliable and functioning website.

We also use Cloudflare Web Analytics to measure aggregated website usage, such as visits, page views, referrers and basic page performance.

Cloudflare Web Analytics is designed to be privacy-friendly. It does not use cookies or localStorage for analytics on our website, does not build advertising profiles and does not sell visitor data.

Analytics data is reported to us in aggregated form so we can understand how the website is used and improve it.

6. Purchases, Etsy and Payment Providers

Becoming 366 products may be purchased through different channels, depending on the product.

Some products are offered through Etsy. Becoming 366 may contain links to those listings. If you follow a link from Becoming 366 to Etsy, you leave our website and interact with Etsy as a separate platform. Information you provide to Etsy, including information connected with purchases and payments, is processed according to Etsy’s own terms and privacy practices.

The Letter Vault may be purchased directly on becoming366.com. Direct Letter Vault checkout is processed by Stripe (Stripe Checkout). Stripe processes payment information as an independent payment provider according to its own terms and privacy practices.

Becoming 366 does not store full payment-card numbers on this website. Card details entered for direct Letter Vault purchases are collected and processed by Stripe. Card details for Etsy purchases are handled by Etsy.

How The Letter Vault processes purchaser and letter-related personal data is described in our Letter Vault Privacy & Safety notice.

7. Other External Links

The website may contain links to third-party websites or platforms.

Once you leave becoming366.com, the privacy practices of the destination website apply. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security or content of third-party websites.

We encourage you to review the privacy information provided by those services when appropriate.

8. How Long We Keep Personal Data

We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and as required by applicable law.

If you subscribe to The Becoming Letter, your subscriber information is generally retained while your subscription remains active.

If you unsubscribe or withdraw your consent, we will stop using your email address to send marketing communications. Limited information may be retained where necessary to record your unsubscribe request, demonstrate compliance with applicable law, resolve disputes or establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

Technical and security information processed through our service providers may be retained according to the relevant provider’s retention periods and our legitimate operational and security needs.

When personal data is no longer required for the relevant purpose and there is no legal reason to retain it, it will be deleted or otherwise appropriately handled.

9. International Data Transfers

Some of the service providers used by Becoming 366 operate internationally.

As a result, personal data may in certain circumstances be processed or transferred outside Croatia or the European Economic Area.

Where such transfers are subject to the GDPR, we rely on the safeguards provided by the relevant service provider and applicable data-protection law, which may include adequacy decisions, approved data-transfer frameworks, Standard Contractual Clauses or other legally recognised safeguards.

10. Your GDPR Rights

If the GDPR applies to the processing of your personal data, you may have the right to:

  • request access to your personal data;
  • request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data;
  • request deletion of your personal data where the legal requirements are met;

These rights are subject to the conditions and limitations provided by applicable law.

You may unsubscribe at any time by using that link.

You may also contact hello@becoming366.com if you would like us to address a subscription or privacy-related request.

Unsubscribing from marketing communications does not necessarily require us to delete information that we are legally entitled or required to retain for another legitimate purpose.

13. Providing Your Personal Data

Providing your email address for The Becoming Letter is voluntary.

You do not need to provide your email address to browse the website or read the Journal.

If you choose not to provide an email address, you simply will not be able to subscribe to The Becoming Letter or receive subscriber-only email communications.
