This Privacy Policy explains what information The Royal Untold (theroyaluntold.com) collects when you visit the site, how it is used, and the choices you have.
Information we collect
- Contact form: if you send us a message, we receive your name, email address and message so we can reply.
- Comments: if you leave a comment, we store your name, email address, website (optional), comment and IP address to help detect spam. Your email address is never shown publicly.
- Usage data: like most websites, our server and analytics tools record information such as your browser type, device, pages visited, time spent and approximate location.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use them to remember comment details, keep the site working and measure how visitors use it. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, although some features may not work correctly.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use our site. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information such as pages visited and time on site. This information is processed by Google under its own privacy policy. You can learn more at How Google uses information from sites that use its services, and opt out using the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Advertising
We do not currently show advertisements. In the future we may display ads, including ads served by Google. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or www.aboutads.info. We will update this section when advertising is added.
Embedded content and links
Articles may include embedded content (for example videos) or links to other websites. Embedded content behaves as if you visited the other website, and those sites may collect data about you. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites.
How we use your information
We use the information we collect to reply to messages, publish and moderate comments, understand which stories readers enjoy, and keep the site secure. We do not sell your personal information.
How long we keep data
Comments and their details are kept indefinitely so that follow-up comments can be recognised. Contact messages are kept only as long as needed to respond.
Your rights
You can ask us to show, correct or delete the personal data we hold about you. To make a request, please use our contact page.
Children’s information
This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
