Witch Blood

Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2026

Witch Blood respects your privacy.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we may collect when you use the Witch Blood website, why we collect it, how we use it, and the choices you have regarding your information.

We aim to keep this policy straightforward and understandable.

1. About Witch Blood

Witch Blood is an independent online project concerned with exploration, lore, astrology, the Witch Blood Grimoire and its continuing Working.

The website may provide both freely accessible material and material available through membership.

This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through the Witch Blood website and its associated services.

2. Age Restrictions and Membership

The public areas of the Witch Blood website may be viewed without creating an account.

However, Witch Blood membership is strictly restricted to people aged 18 and over, regardless of their country of residence.

This applies to both free membership and paid membership.

A person must therefore be at least 18 years old to:

  • Create a Witch Blood account.
  • Register for free membership.
  • Purchase or hold a paid membership.
  • Access members-only material or services.
  • Use any other service that requires registration with Witch Blood.

Witch Blood does not knowingly permit anyone under the age of 18 to create an account or become a member.

Because some areas of the website are publicly accessible, Witch Blood cannot guarantee that an under-18 person will never view a public webpage. The age restriction applies specifically to registration, membership and access to services or material requiring an account.

If we become aware that a person under 18 has created an account or provided personal information through a membership service, we will take reasonable steps to close the account and delete the associated personal information, subject to information we are legally required to retain.

3. Information We May Collect

Depending on how you use the website, we may collect some of the following information:

  • Your name or chosen display name.
  • Your email address.
  • Information required to create and maintain a membership account.
  • Information you provide when contacting us.
  • Information relating to your membership, such as whether your membership is active.
  • Technical information supplied automatically by your browser or device, such as IP address, browser type and basic device information.
  • Information relating to your use of the website, including pages visited and general website activity.
  • Cookie and similar technical information where these are used by the website or its services.

We aim to collect only information that is reasonably necessary for the service or interaction involved.

4. Membership

If you choose to create a free membership account, we will need sufficient information to create and maintain that account.

If you choose to take a paid membership, we may also need information necessary to administer your membership and confirm payment.

Payment information may be processed by an independent payment provider. Where this happens, your payment details may be handled directly by that provider rather than being stored by Witch Blood.

We will not collect or store complete payment-card details unless we specifically state otherwise and have appropriate arrangements in place.

5. How We Use Your Information

We may use your information to:

  • Create and manage your account.
  • Provide membership services.
  • Provide access to members-only material.
  • Process or administer membership payments.
  • Respond to enquiries and messages.
  • Maintain and improve the website.
  • Protect the website against misuse, fraud or security threats.
  • Comply with legal or regulatory obligations where required.

We will not use your personal information for purposes unrelated to the operation of Witch Blood unless we have a lawful basis to do so.

6. Email

If you provide your email address when registering or contacting us, we may use it to communicate with you about your account, membership or matters directly relating to the Witch Blood website.

We will not automatically add you to unrelated marketing lists simply because you create an account.

If we introduce optional newsletters or other promotional communications, you will be given an appropriate opportunity to choose whether to receive them.

7. Third-Party Plugins and Services

Witch Blood may use third-party plugins, software and services to provide certain website functions and features.

These may include services relating to:

  • Website functionality.
  • Membership and account management.
  • Payment processing.
  • Security.
  • Analytics.
  • Communication.
  • Other interactive features.

Some third-party services may process technical or personal information as necessary to provide their services.

Where appropriate, further information about significant third-party services will be included in this Privacy Policy or made available through the relevant service.

8. Cookies

The Witch Blood website may use cookies and similar technologies.

Cookies may be used for purposes such as:

  • Keeping members logged into their accounts.
  • Remembering website preferences.
  • Providing essential website functionality.
  • Understanding how the website is used.
  • Supporting security and preventing misuse.

Some cookies may be placed by third-party services used by the website.

Where consent is legally required for non-essential cookies, appropriate consent or preference mechanisms will be provided.

9. How Long We Keep Information

We will retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including where necessary to maintain an account, provide membership services, resolve disputes, maintain records or comply with legal obligations.

When information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to delete or securely dispose of it.

10. Your Rights

Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, you may have rights concerning your personal information, including the right to:

  • Ask what personal information we hold about you.
  • Ask us to correct inaccurate information.
  • Ask us to delete information where there is no legitimate reason for us to retain it.
  • Ask us to restrict certain processing.
  • Object to certain uses of your information.
  • Request a copy of information you have provided to us.
  • Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

Some rights are subject to legal exceptions and limitations.

If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the contact details provided on the Witch Blood website.

11. Security

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information against accidental loss, unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure.

However, no internet service can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should therefore avoid sending sensitive or confidential information through ordinary website forms unless specifically requested.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

Witch Blood is a continuing Working, and the website will develop over time.

This Privacy Policy may therefore be updated when the website, its services or its legal requirements change.

The latest version will always be published on this page, together with the date on which it was last updated.

13. Contact

If you have a question about this Privacy Policy, your personal information, or the way Witch Blood handles privacy, please contact us through the contact facility provided on the website.

We will do our best to deal with your enquiry clearly and fairly.
