Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 19, 2026
Who we are
This website (mariax.gr) is owned and run by the artist Maria X. For anything related to privacy and your personal data, you can reach out at witchofflames25@gmail.com.
What data we process
This site currently has no sign-up forms, newsletter, or user accounts — we don't actively collect any personal data from you directly. We use Google Analytics for anonymized traffic statistics (see the section below). If that changes further in the future, this policy will be updated first.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand, in an anonymized and aggregated way, how many people visit the site, where from, and which pages they view. Google Analytics does not load automatically — it only loads if you click "Accept" on the cookie notice shown on your first visit. If you click "Decline," or make no choice at all, Google Analytics never loads.
If you consent, Google Analytics sets cookies (such as _ga,
_ga_*) on your device, typically lasting up to 2 years, and may process
data on servers outside the EU/EEA, under Google's own terms. You can read Google's
privacy policy at
policies.google.com/privacy,
or opt out via the
Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
You can also withdraw your consent at any time by clearing this site's data in your
browser (local storage) — your next visit will show the notice again.
Local storage
The site stores simple technical settings locally on your device (via localStorage, not a cookie): whether you've consented to loading the Spotify player, and your choice (accept/decline) for Google Analytics. This data stays only on your own device and is not used by us for any kind of tracking.
Embedded Spotify player
Song pages include an optional embedded Spotify player. The player does not load automatically — it only loads if you click the "Load player" button. Once you do that, Spotify may set its own cookies and process data according to its own privacy policy, which you can read at spotify.com/legal/privacy-policy.
Links to music platforms
Song pages contain links to external platforms (YouTube, YouTube Music, Deezer, Tidal, Amazon Music, KKBOX, iHeartRadio, etc.) where you can listen to the music. When you click one of these links, you leave mariax.gr and that platform's own privacy policy applies, not ours.
Fonts
The site's fonts (Fraunces, Inter) are hosted locally on our own server — no calls are made to external services like Google Fonts, so no information (e.g. your IP address) is shared with a third party through that mechanism.
Hosting
The site is hosted on third-party infrastructure (e.g. Vercel or Netlify). The hosting provider processes basic technical logs (e.g. IP address, user-agent, requested URL, timestamp) for the security and operation of its servers, under its own privacy policy. This data is not directly accessible or controlled by us.
Your rights (GDPR)
If you're in the EU/EEA, you have the right to:
- access any data we hold about you,
- correct inaccurate data,
- request erasure ("the right to be forgotten"),
- restrict or object to processing,
- data portability.
To exercise any of these rights, email witchofflames25@gmail.com.
Children
This site is not directed at children under 16.
Changes to this policy
If we materially change how we process data (e.g. adding a newsletter or analytics), we'll update this page and the date at the top.
