This Privacy Policy describes how Chronicles of Shell (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, and shares your personal information when you visit our website, www.chroniclesofshell.com (“Site”). By using the Site, you consent to the data practices described in this policy.

- Disable cookies through your browser settings.

Please note that if you disable cookies, some features of our Site may not work as intended.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Security
We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, and use. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the security of your information.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Suggested text: Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, and we will post the updated policy on our Site with the effective date. We encourage you to review the policy periodically to stay informed about our data practices.
