This Privacy Policy explains how MindRift Stories (“we”, “us”, “our”), available at mindrift.online, collects, uses and protects information when you visit our website.

Information we collect

• Information you send us. If you use our contact form, we receive your name, email address and message. We use this only to reply to you.
• Usage data. Like most websites, our server automatically records standard log information such as your IP address, browser type, pages visited and the time of your visit. We use this to keep the site secure and working properly.
• Cookies and local storage. We store your text-size preference in your browser. Our advertising and measurement partners may also use cookies, as described below.

Advertising

We use third-party advertising companies, including Google, to serve ads when you visit our website. These companies may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and other websites.

• Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info.
• To learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

Where required by law (for example, for visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland), we ask for your consent before personalized ads are shown.

How we use information

We use the information described above to operate and improve the website, respond to messages, measure how stories are read, show advertising, and protect the site against abuse. We do not sell your personal information.

Depending on where you live (for example, under the GDPR or U.S. state privacy laws such as the CCPA/CPRA), you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal information we hold about you, or to opt out of certain processing. To make a request, please use our contact page.

Children’s privacy

Our website is intended for adult readers and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
