1. About this policy
This policy explains how Shraxellvod (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses and protects information when you visit our editorial website at shraxellvod.ddd. The site is a small independent publication based in Wellington, Aotearoa New Zealand, offering slow-paced reading on quiet pauses, calm daily habits and reflective lifestyle notes inspired by the still corners of New Zealand.
Shraxellvod is an editorial project only. It does not sell physical goods, dietary supplements, vitamins, food, beverages, cosmetics, or paid services. It does not provide medical, dietary, psychological, or any other professional advice. It does not target sensitive health conditions, diagnose anything, or promise outcomes.
The policy is written in plain English and aligns with the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020, the New Zealand Information Privacy Principles, and (where relevant to overseas readers) the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
1A. Site scope and audience
Geographic scope. Our editorial focus is New Zealand. The editorial team works from Wellington and writes about ordinary lifestyle settings around Aotearoa — homes, parks, bush walks, lakes, town belts, harbour edges and quiet streets. International readers are welcome, and we make a reasonable effort to apply equivalent privacy protections wherever you read from.
Topic scope. Our content covers everyday lifestyle reflections — slow living, unhurried mornings, short window pauses, reading rituals, walking ideas and simple at-home routines. We deliberately stay away from medical, clinical, diagnostic, or therapeutic topics, and we avoid sensitive personal-attribute targeting.
Audience. The site is written for adult readers (16+) interested in slow-paced editorial reading. We do not knowingly market to children, do not infer health conditions, and do not personalise content based on sensitive categories such as health, race, religion, sexual orientation, or political views.

3. Data we collect
The editorial nature of our site means we collect very little information. The table below summarises what is gathered, when, and for how long.

We do not knowingly collect special categories of data (such as health or political information) and we do not request such information through any of our forms.
4. Why we collect this data
- Replying to messages sent through the contact form;
- Improving the editorial pages by understanding which notes readers find useful;
- Maintaining the technical health of the site (uptime, error tracking, basic security);
- Meeting our legal duties (record-keeping, responding to lawful requests).
5. Legal basis for processing
Where the GDPR applies, we rely on the following legal bases:
- Consent — for analytics or marketing cookies, and for the contact form GDPR checkbox;
- Legitimate interests — for basic security logging and the smooth running of the site;
- Legal obligation — where laws require us to keep certain records.
6. How long we keep data
We keep information only for as long as needed for the purpose described, then delete or anonymise it. Specific timelines are listed in the table above. You can ask us to delete your data sooner, except where we are required by law to retain it.
8. Security measures
We use HTTPS across the entire site, restrict administrative access to a small number of editors, and review our hosting set-up regularly. While no online service can be guaranteed to be perfectly secure, we take reasonable steps to keep your information safe.
9. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Access the data we hold about you;
- Correct inaccurate or outdated information;
- Request deletion of your information;
- Object to or restrict certain processing;
- Withdraw consent at any time;
- Lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority (in New Zealand, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner).
To exercise these rights, please contact us.
11. Children’s privacy
The site is intended for adult readers. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can remove it.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Significant changes will be flagged on the site for a reasonable period.
