Your privacy in plain English

1) Overview

TaleHarbor (“we,” “us,” “our”) provides a web experience designed to be respectful of your privacy. This policy describes what we may collect when you visit our pages, interact with features, or contact us, and how you can control certain processing.

This policy applies to this website at taleharbor.click and its pages, including this Privacy Policy page.

2) Data we may collect

Depending on how you use the site, we may collect:

• Contact data you provide (for example, name, email address, and message content) when you send us a request.
• Account-related data if you choose to create or access an account through on-site dialogs (for example, email and authentication tokens stored in your browser).
• Usage data such as pages viewed, approximate device type, and interaction events (e.g., clicks on UI elements). This helps us improve navigation and reliability.
• Technical data including IP address (often shortened/aggregated where feasible), user agent, and timestamps for security and diagnostics.
• Cookie/local storage data for essential functionality like theme preference, consent state, and session continuity.

We do not intentionally collect sensitive categories of personal data (such as precise geolocation, biometric identifiers, or government IDs) through this website.

3) How we use data

We use information to:

• Provide site features (including preferences like dark/light theme and consent settings).
• Respond to requests and support inquiries.
• Maintain security, prevent abuse, and troubleshoot issues.
• Measure performance and improve user experience (only when allowed by your cookie choices, where applicable).

We do not sell your personal information. If we use analytics or marketing tools, we will do so only according to your preferences where required.

4) Legal bases (GDPR-style)

Where applicable, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases:

• Consent (for example, optional cookies or communications when you opt in).
• Legitimate interests (such as securing our services and improving performance, balanced with your rights).
• Contract (if you request features that require account functionality).
• Legal obligations (where recordkeeping or compliance is required).

5) Cookies & similar technologies

We use cookies and local storage to keep the site reliable and comfortable. Some are essential (they keep preferences and protect sessions). Others may be optional (analytics, performance insights), depending on your region and settings.

• Essential: required for core functionality like remembering consent and theme settings.
• Analytics (optional): helps us understand usage trends and improve content and navigation.
• Marketing (optional): used to measure campaigns or personalize promotions, if present and enabled.

You can review or change your choices anytime via Cookie preferences.

6) Data retention

We keep data only for as long as necessary:

• Support messages: retained long enough to resolve your request and maintain an audit trail of support outcomes.
• Security logs: retained for a limited period to investigate abuse and maintain service integrity.
• Preference data (theme/consent): stored in your browser until you clear it or change preferences.

Retention periods may vary depending on legal requirements and operational needs, but we aim to keep them as short as practical.

7) Sharing & third parties

We may share limited information with service providers who help operate the website (for example, hosting and email delivery). These providers are expected to protect data and use it only for the services they perform for us.

If a business transfer occurs (such as a merger or acquisition), information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to standard confidentiality protections.

8) Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information. No system is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you believe your interaction with TaleHarbor has become unsafe, contact us promptly.

9) Your rights & choices

Depending on your location, you may have rights including:

• Access to the personal data we hold about you.
• Correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Deletion (where applicable) and restriction of processing.
• Data portability (where applicable).
• Objection to certain processing and withdrawal of consent.

You can also control cookies via the site’s preference center. For requests, contact us using the details in the Contact section below.

10) Children’s privacy

TaleHarbor is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child provided data to us, please contact us so we can take appropriate steps.

11) Changes to this policy

We may update this policy to reflect product, legal, or operational changes. The “Last updated” date at the top indicates when the latest version took effect. If changes are significant, we may provide an additional notice on the website.
