Contact form submissions are transmitted over an encrypted connection. Access to any retained contact data is restricted to the editorial team.

No method of data transmission over the internet is entirely secure. While Fralen Press takes reasonable precautions, the publication cannot ensure the absolute security of data transmitted to or from fralen.info.

Fralen Press uses a limited set of third-party services for site functionality. These include font loading services (Google Fonts, Fontshare) and page performance libraries loaded from public CDN providers.
