4. How We Use Information

Personal information is processed for legitimate and specified purposes, including:

• Responding to enquiries and correspondence.

• Processing purchases and delivering digital products.

• Maintaining website functionality and security.

• Reviewing submitted paranormal investigation assessments.

• Evaluating observations and interpretations of recorded evidence.

• Improving website content and visitor experience.

• Understanding website usage and performance.

• Complying with applicable legal and regulatory obligations.

Investigation assessments are collected for evidence review, educational engagement and comparison of visitor interpretations.

We do not treat a visitor's interpretation as independent proof of paranormal activity.

5. Legal Basis for Processing

Depending on the activity, ProParanormal processes personal information on one or more of the following legal bases:

Contractual necessity: To process ebook orders, deliver purchased digital products and provide related customer support.

Legitimate interests: To respond to enquiries, maintain website security, administer voluntary investigation assessments and improve our services, where those interests are not overridden by individuals' rights and freedoms.

Legal obligations: To maintain records or comply with obligations arising under applicable law.

Consent: Where consent is legally required, including for non-essential analytics cookies and other optional tracking technologies.

Where processing relies on consent, individuals may withdraw that consent at any time, without affecting processing already lawfully undertaken.

6. Bohlandor Confidential Evidence Archive

The Bohlandor Confidential Evidence Archive allows visitors to examine selected recordings and submit their own interpretations.

Participation is voluntary.

Assessment responses are submitted through Formspree and delivered to ProParanormal for review.

Providing a name or investigator alias is optional. Visitors should not include sensitive personal information about themselves or other individuals.

Submitted assessments are not automatically published on the website.

ProParanormal will not publish personally identifying details from an individual assessment without an appropriate lawful basis and, where required, the individual's permission.

The archive may incorporate fictional narrative elements alongside material presented for investigative examination. Participation does not constitute scientific verification of paranormal activity.

7. Retention of Investigation Reports

Bohlandor EVP investigation reports will be retained for a maximum of 12 months from the date of submission.

After this period, reports and associated personal information will be deleted or irreversibly anonymised, unless longer retention is necessary to comply with a legal obligation or establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

This retention period applies to copies held by ProParanormal, including reports received by email and submissions stored in its Formspree account.

Other personal information, including purchase records and customer correspondence, will be retained only for periods appropriate to the purpose of processing and applicable legal requirements.

8. Third-Party Service Providers

ProParanormal uses third-party services to operate its website and provide functionality.

Hostinger

Our website is built and hosted using Hostinger services. Hostinger may process technical information necessary to deliver and maintain the website.

Formspree

Formspree processes submitted investigation assessment forms and delivers the information to ProParanormal.

YouTube

Some pages contain embedded YouTube videos, including paranormal investigation recordings. Playing or interacting with these videos may involve data processing by Google or YouTube under their respective privacy policies.

Google Analytics and website analytics

ProParanormal uses website analytics services to understand visitor activity and improve website performance. These services may process technical identifiers and usage information, subject to applicable consent requirements.

Online shop and payment services

Digital purchases may involve third-party payment processors and ecommerce service providers.

We recommend that visitors review the privacy policies of third-party services when using their features.

9. Cookies and Similar Technologies

ProParanormal may use cookies and similar technologies for website functionality, security, analytics and embedded content.

Strictly necessary cookies may be used where required for the operation of the website.

Where required by law, non-essential analytics and tracking technologies will be used only after the visitor has provided valid consent.

Visitors should be able to manage applicable cookie preferences through the website's consent controls and may also manage cookies through their browser settings.

Embedded third-party services may have their own data-processing practices.

10. Sharing and Disclosure

ProParanormal does not sell visitors' personal information.

Information may be shared with service providers where necessary to operate the website, process orders, receive assessment submissions, deliver content or provide technical services.

Personal information may also be disclosed where legally required or necessary to protect legitimate legal rights.

Investigation reports will not be made publicly identifiable merely because they have been submitted to ProParanormal.

11. International Data Transfers

Some third-party providers may process or store personal information outside Ireland or the European Economic Area.

Where international transfers of personal data take place, ProParanormal will seek to ensure that appropriate safeguards or lawful transfer mechanisms apply, as required by data protection law.

Information about specific provider arrangements may be requested using the contact details in this policy.

12. Data Security

ProParanormal takes reasonable measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, misuse, loss or disclosure.

These measures include using established website hosting and submission services, controlling access to received reports and limiting the retention of personal information.

However, no internet-based transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.

Visitors should avoid including passwords, financial details, medical information or other sensitive personal information in investigation assessment reports.

13. Your Data Protection Rights

Under applicable data protection law, individuals may have the right to:

• Request access to personal information held about them.

• Request correction of inaccurate information.

• Request deletion of personal information.

• Request restriction of certain processing activities.

• Object to processing based on legitimate interests.

• Request data portability where applicable.

• Withdraw consent where processing relies on consent.

These rights are subject to applicable legal conditions and exceptions.
