Privacy Policy
Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains what information MythPost ("MythPost", "we", "us") collects when you visit mythpost.com (the "Site"), how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Site you agree to the practices described here. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
Information We Collect
Information you give us directly: if you email us, we receive your email address and the contents of your message. We do not operate user accounts and we never ask for passwords, payment details or government identification.
Information collected automatically: like most websites, our hosting and analytics tools automatically receive technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, the pages you view, the time of your visit and the website you came from. Analytics data is collected in aggregate form to understand which stories readers enjoy; we do not use it to build profiles of named individuals.
Cookies
The Site and third-party services we use (such as analytics and advertising partners) may place cookies — small text files stored on your device — to remember preferences, measure traffic and, where advertising is shown, to make ads more relevant. Our Cookie Policy explains the categories of cookies in use and how to control them. You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time; the Site will still work.
How We Use Information
We use the information we collect to operate and improve the Site, to understand which content readers value, to respond to messages you send us, to protect the Site against abuse and technical problems, and to comply with legal obligations. We do not sell your personal information.
Email Newsletter
If you subscribe to The MythPost Letter, our free weekly email digest, your email address is stored with our email service provider and is used only to send you that digest. Every email we send includes an unsubscribe link, and you can unsubscribe at any time. We never sell email addresses, and we do not share subscriber addresses with advertisers or other third parties.
Advertising And Third-Party Services
The Site may display advertising served by third-party partners, including Google AdSense. Advertising partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You can learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services, and opt out of personalised advertising, through Google's own Ads Settings and policies pages. Our analytics and advertising partners process data under their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.
Sharing Of Information
We share information only in limited circumstances: with service providers who help us run the Site (such as hosting and analytics providers) under their own confidentiality terms; when required by law, court order or a lawful request from authorities; or when necessary to protect the rights, safety or property of MythPost, our readers or the public.
Data Retention And Security
We keep email correspondence for as long as needed to handle your enquiry and maintain reasonable records. Technical logs are retained for a limited period. We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect information, but no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or restrict the personal information we hold about you, and to object to certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, email us at the address below and we will respond within a reasonable time. If you are in the European Economic Area, you also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.
Children's Privacy
The Site is written for a general adult audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13; if you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
Changes To This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new "Last updated" date, and continued use of the Site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
