Privacy Policy

Welcome to Vivo in Margin. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit our website and use our services. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data in a transparent and lawful manner, in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

1. Who We Are

Vivo in Margin is a lifestyle blog covering food, travel, style, wellness, and everyday life. If you have any questions about this policy or how we handle your data, you can contact us at hello@vivoinmargin.com.

2. What Data We Collect

We collect only the minimum data necessary to operate the blog:

• Email address — only if you voluntarily subscribe to our newsletter. We do not collect your name, address, or any other personal information.
• Theme preference — we store your light/dark mode preference in your browser's localStorage. This data never leaves your device.

We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or third-party analytics that profile you. We do not use Google Analytics or Facebook Pixel.

3. Newsletter

If you subscribe to our newsletter, your email address is stored and processed by Resend, our email delivery provider. Resend acts as a data processor on our behalf and is GDPR-compliant.

Your email is used solely to send you new post notifications and occasional updates from Vivo in Margin. We will never:

• Sell or share your email with third parties
• Use your email for advertising purposes
• Send you unrelated commercial messages

Legal basis: We process your email address based on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you give by submitting the subscription form.

Under GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Right to access — you can request a copy of the data we hold about you

5. Data Retention

We retain your email address for as long as you are subscribed to our newsletter. When you unsubscribe, your email is deleted from our mailing list within 30 days.

6. Cookies

Vivo in Margin does not use cookies. The only browser storage we use is localStorage to remember your theme preference (light or dark mode). This is not a cookie and is not transmitted to any server. No cookie consent banner is required.
