Privacy Policy
Last Updated: May 2025 | Effective Date: May 2025 | talesfromtime.com
Privacy policies are usually written to protect the site, not the reader. This one is written to actually tell you
what is going on. It is readable on purpose, because you should be able to understand what a website does
with your information without needing a law degree.
GOOGLE ADSENSE DISCLOSURE (Required): Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this website or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visits to talesfromtime.com and other sites on the internet. Users may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting adssettings.google.com. Alternatively, users may opt out of third-party vendor use of cookies by visiting www.aboutads.info.

2. What We Collect
Two kinds of information come through this site. The first is what you give us voluntarily, such as your name and email if you fill out a contact form. The second is what gets collected automatically when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, pages visited, time spent, and referring URLs. We do not collect sensitive personal data.
3. What We Do With It
Automatic data helps us understand how the site is used so we can improve it. That is genuinely all it is for. If you contact us, we use your details only to reply to you. We do not sell your information. We do not rent it. We do not trade it.
4. Cookies, Web Beacons and Third-Party Tools
This site uses cookies and may use web beacons (small transparent images that help track page visits and email opens). We use Google Analytics for anonymised traffic data and Google AdSense to serve advertisements. Third-party vendors, including Google, may place and read cookies on your browser or use web beacons to collect information as a result of ad serving on this site. Google’s privacy policy is available at policies.google.com/privacy. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking via the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

6. Links to Other Sites
Articles here sometimes link to external websites. Once you leave talesfromtime.com we have no control over what those sites do with your data. It is worth checking their privacy policies if you share anything with them.
7. How Long We Keep Data
Analytics data is kept for up to 26 months and then deleted. Anything you send through a contact form is kept only as long as it takes to respond to you.
8. Your Rights
Depending on where you are, you may have the right to see, correct, or delete the personal data we hold about you. Contact us via the Contact page and we will respond within 30 days. EU residents have rights under GDPR. California residents have rights under CCPA. We respect both.
