These third parties may collect or process information according to their own privacy policies and contractual terms.

Talecraft Hub does not control the privacy practices of every third-party service, website, or platform. We encourage users to review the privacy policies of third-party services they interact with.

Talecraft Hub may use Google services, including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Google AdSense, Google Ad Manager, or other Google advertising and measurement tools.

Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies to collect or receive information from Talecraft Hub and other websites. This information may be used to provide analytics, measurement services, ad delivery, fraud prevention, personalized advertising where permitted, and non-personalized advertising where required or selected.

Users may be able to control personalized advertising through Google ad settings, browser settings, device settings, or consent tools made available on the website.

For users in regions where consent is legally required, Talecraft Hub will seek appropriate consent before using cookies or personal data for personalized advertising.

If Talecraft Hub serves ads to users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we may use a consent management platform to collect and manage user choices for cookies, personalized ads, analytics, and related technologies.

Users in these regions may be able to accept, reject, or manage certain data-processing choices through a cookie banner or privacy settings tool.

You may change your consent choices where such tools are available. Your choices may apply only to the device and browser you are using. If you use a different browser, clear cookies, or use another device, you may need to set your preferences again.

Articles on Talecraft Hub may include embedded content such as videos, images, social media posts, links, comments, or other third-party materials.

Embedded content from third-party websites may behave as if you visited that third-party website directly. These third parties may collect information about you, use cookies, embed tracking technologies, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, especially if you are logged into their platform.

Examples may include platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X, or other social media and video services.

We do not sell personal information for direct monetary payment.

However, we may share or disclose personal information in the following situations.

10.2 Advertising and Analytics Partners

We may share technical and usage information with advertising and analytics partners to serve ads, measure performance, prevent fraud, improve content, and understand audience behavior.

Some privacy laws may define certain advertising-related sharing through cookies, pixels, or similar technologies as a “sale,” “sharing,” or “targeted advertising,” even where no money is exchanged directly for personal information.

10.3 Legal and Safety Reasons

We may disclose information if necessary to comply with the law, respond to lawful requests, protect our rights, enforce our policies, prevent fraud, investigate security issues, or protect users and the public.

10.4 Business Transfers

If Talecraft Hub is involved in a merger, acquisition, restructuring, sale of assets, financing, or transfer of business operations, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

For users in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, we process personal information based on one or more of the following legal bases:

• Consent, where you have given permission for a specific purpose, such as certain cookies, newsletters, or personalized advertising

• Contractual necessity, where processing is needed to provide a requested service

• Legitimate interests, such as operating the website, improving content, understanding readership, securing the website, preventing fraud, and developing our editorial services

• Legal obligations, where processing is required to comply with applicable laws or lawful requests

You may withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. Withdrawal of consent does not affect processing that happened before consent was withdrawn.

Talecraft Hub is based in Kenya but may be accessed by users globally. Some service providers, advertising partners, analytics providers, hosting providers, or technical systems may process information in countries other than your country of residence.

Where required by law, we will use appropriate safeguards for international data transfers, such as contractual protections, consent, adequacy decisions, or other lawful transfer mechanisms.

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

Retention periods may depend on:

• The type of information

• The reason it was collected

• Legal or regulatory requirements

• Security and fraud prevention needs

• Whether the information is needed to resolve disputes

• Whether the information is needed to enforce agreements or policies

Analytics and advertising data may be retained according to the policies and settings of the relevant third-party providers.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

However, no website, server, database, or internet transmission is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we work to protect personal information using reasonable safeguards.

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the right to:

• Request access to personal information we hold about you

• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information

• Request deletion of personal information

• Object to certain processing

• Request restriction of processing

• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent

• Request a copy of your personal information in a portable format

• Opt out of certain targeted advertising or data sharing where applicable

We may need to verify your identity before responding to certain requests. We may also retain some information where required or permitted by law.

Where Kenya’s Data Protection Act applies, users may have rights relating to access, correction, deletion, objection, restriction, and protection against unlawful processing of personal data.

Talecraft Hub aims to process personal data lawfully, fairly, transparently, and only for legitimate purposes connected to operating, improving, securing, and monetizing the website.

Users may contact us with privacy-related questions or requests. Users may also have the right to raise concerns with Kenya’s Office of the Data Protection Commissioner where applicable.

Talecraft Hub is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 16.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us and we will take reasonable steps to delete the information where required.

Talecraft Hub may link to third-party websites, advertisers, sources, social media pages, video platforms, or other external services.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of third-party websites. Visiting third-party links is at your own discretion, and you should review their privacy policies.

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” signal. Because there is no universally accepted standard for responding to these signals, TaleCraftHub does not currently respond to browser “Do Not Track” requests.

You can still control cookies and tracking through browser settings, device settings, consent tools, and advertising opt-out mechanisms where available.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, services, advertising partners, legal requirements, or business operations.

When we update the policy, we will revise the effective date at the top of this page.

Continued use of Talecraft Hub after changes are posted means you acknowledge the updated Privacy Policy.
