Privacy Policy

At Entitled Stories (entitledstories.com), we value your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our website.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information to provide a better experience for our readers and commenters. This includes:

Voluntary Information: When you post a comment or submit a form, we collect the name or username you provide, your email address, the content of your comment and any additional information you submit via forms on our website.
Automated Metadata: To maintain site security and functionality, we may collect technical data such as your IP address and browser type.

2. Analytics and Tracking

We use self-hosted analytics to understand how visitors interact with our site. Unlike third-party platforms, this data stays on our own servers and is not shared with outside companies for their own marketing purposes. This information is used to track page views, referral sources, and site performance.

3. Third-Party Services & APIs

To ensure a high-quality community environment, we may use external Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) when you interact with the site (such as posting a comment). These services help us:

Verify your country of origin or language.
Filter for spam or malicious content.

These third parties receive only the data necessary to perform these specific verification functions.

4. Advertising

Entitled Stories may host advertisements. We reserve the right to work with advertising partners who may use cookies or web beacons to serve ads based on your visit to this and other websites. These partners have their own privacy policies regarding the data they collect.

5. Cookies

We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience—for example, remembering your details so you don’t have to re-type them when leaving a subsequent comment. You can choose to disable cookies through your individual browser settings.

6. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information. However, please note that no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you or ask that it be deleted. If you wish to make such a request, please contact us at PLEASE ENABLE JAVASCRIPT.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date.
