Privacy Policy

1. Information we collect

We may collect:

• Name, if you choose to provide it through a form
• Email address when you contact us or join a mailing list
• Technical data such as IP address, browser type, device category, and general location (country/region level)
• Usage signals needed to run the site, prevent abuse, and measure content performance in aggregate

We collect personal data only where you voluntarily submit it or where common web technologies require it to deliver pages and measure reach.

2. How we use information

• Operate, secure, and improve the website and reading experience
• Respond to legitimate reader and business inquiries
• Understand which topics help readers so we can prioritize editorial quality
• Deliver and measure advertising where permitted and consented
• Maintain anonymous article metrics such as aggregate view counts and estimated reading engagement while a post is visible. These metrics are not used to build individual reader profiles for sale.

3. Cookies, local storage, and similar technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to remember display preferences (such as theme), support consent management, and help partners measure ad delivery. You can restrict cookies in your browser; some features may work differently if you do.

4. Google AdSense and third-party advertising

We may use Google AdSense to show ads. Google may use cookies (including advertising cookies) to serve and measure ads, including based on prior visits to this or other websites.

Learn how Google uses data from partner sites: How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

Third-party ad vendors may use cookies, JavaScript, web beacons, or similar tools subject to their own policies and your consent choices.

You can manage personalized advertising preferences through Google Ads Settings and industry opt-out tools where available.

5. Analytics

We may use privacy-conscious analytics to understand traffic volumes and content performance. Where required, analytics runs only after appropriate consent. We do not use analytics to make automated decisions with legal or similarly significant effects about you.

6. Legal bases (general)

Depending on your region, we rely on legitimate interests (running a sustainable publication), consent (non-essential cookies and certain ads), and contractual necessity (responding to messages you send). You may withdraw consent for optional processing where applicable without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

7. Data retention

We retain information only as long as needed for the purposes above, legal compliance, or dispute resolution. Server and analytics logs are rotated on a reasonable schedule. Email correspondence is kept only as needed to complete your request.

8. Security

We apply reasonable administrative and technical safeguards. No method of transmission over the Internet is completely secure; use the site with that understanding.

9. Children

CraftedAura is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have received such data, contact us and we will delete it where appropriate.

10. Third-party services

Links and embeds may lead to third-party sites with separate policies. We encourage you to read those policies before submitting personal data elsewhere.

11. Your choices

You may request access, correction, or deletion of personal data we hold where applicable law provides such rights. You can also use in-product consent controls where offered. For requests, email us using the address below with enough detail for us to verify and respond.

12. International visitors

Readers may access this site globally. If you visit from outside the operator’s primary region, your information may be processed where servers and service providers are located. By using the site, you understand this flow where permitted by law.

13. Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect legal, technical, or editorial changes. Material updates will be posted on this page with a revised date.
