2. Information you choose to provide
We collect only the information needed for the feature you choose to use:
- Newsletter: your email address when you voluntarily join Diana Lauren’s reader list.

Please do not send sensitive personal information through the contact form.
3. How the information is used
- To send requested book news, release updates, giveaways, and special promotions.
- To respond to reader messages and other inquiries.
- To protect the website and forms against spam, abuse, and automated submissions.
Newsletter subscription and contact correspondence are separate. Sending a contact message does not subscribe you to the newsletter.
4. Newsletter — MailerLite
Newsletter subscriptions are processed through MailerLite. If you subscribe, your email address and subscription-related information are processed by MailerLite to deliver messages and manage the mailing list. You may unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in newsletter emails.
MailerLite maintains its own privacy and data-processing terms: MailerLite Privacy Policy.
5. Contact form — Formspree
Contact form submissions are processed through Formspree, which provides the form backend used by this website. The information you submit may be processed and stored by Formspree so the message can be delivered and managed.
Learn more in the Formspree Privacy Policy.
6. Spam protection — Google reCAPTCHA
The newsletter form uses Google reCAPTCHA to reduce spam and automated abuse. When reCAPTCHA is loaded, Google may receive technical information in accordance with its own privacy policy and terms.
See the Google Privacy Policy and Google Terms of Service.
7. Cookies and analytics
Diana Lauren does not currently use a separate advertising or audience-analytics platform on this website. Third-party security or form services, including reCAPTCHA, may use cookies or similar technologies as part of their operation.
8. External links
This website links to third-party services such as Amazon and Instagram. If you follow an external link, that service’s own privacy policy applies. This website does not control how those third parties process information on their sites.
9. Data retention
Newsletter information is retained while you remain subscribed or as otherwise required for legitimate recordkeeping. Contact messages are kept only as long as reasonably needed to handle correspondence, maintain appropriate records, or comply with legal obligations.
10. International service providers
Some service providers may process information in countries other than your own. Where required, data transfers are handled under the safeguards and contractual mechanisms offered by the relevant provider.
11. Your privacy choices and rights
You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time. Depending on the law that applies to you, you may also have rights to request access, correction, updating, or deletion of personal information. If Uruguayan data-protection law applies, Law No. 18.331 recognizes rights including access, rectification, updating, and suppression of personal data.
To make a privacy request, use the Contact form and state that your message concerns privacy or personal data.
