This privacy policy explains how Songoftruth.org (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses and protects personal information when you visit https://songsoftruthorg.com. We have tried to write it in plain language so you can see exactly what happens to your data.

We do not sell your personal information. You can ask to access, correct or delete your data at any time by emailing contact@songsoftruthorg.com.

When you browse the site, our servers and third-party tools may record technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring page, pages viewed and the date and time of your visit.
Comment systems may also store your IP address and browser user agent to help detect spam.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to keep the site working, understand how it is used and, where applicable, show advertising. Details are in our cookie policy.
How We Use Your Information
- To operate, maintain and secure the website.
- To respond to your messages, corrections and inquiries.
- To display and moderate comments.
- To understand which content is useful so we can improve it.

Legal Bases for Processing (GDPR)
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or a similar jurisdiction, we rely on the following legal bases:
- Consent for non-essential cookies, analytics and personalised advertising, and for newsletters. You can withdraw consent at any time.
- Legitimate interests for running and securing the site, preventing spam and replying to messages you send.
- Legal obligation where we must retain or disclose information under applicable law.
Analytics
We may use analytics services, such as Google Analytics, to understand how visitors find and use the site. These tools collect information like pages visited, time on page and general location derived from your IP address. Where possible we use settings that limit or anonymise IP data.
Analytics data is used in aggregate to improve our content. It is not used to identify you personally.
Advertising
Songoftruth.org may display advertising from third-party networks, such as Google AdSense. These partners may use cookies or similar identifiers to show ads based on your visits to this and other websites, and to measure ad performance.
Where required, we ask for your consent before personalised ads are shown. You can also manage ad personalisation through your Google ad settings or industry opt-out tools such as those offered by the Network Advertising Initiative and the Digital Advertising Alliance.
Some articles may contain affiliate links. If you click one, the retailer may set a cookie to record that you arrived from our site.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles may include embedded content such as videos, images, maps or social media posts. Embedded content behaves as if you had visited the other website directly. Those sites may collect data about you, use cookies and track your interaction with the embedded content, including when you are logged in to an account with them.
How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for money. We share data only in these situations:
- Service providers who help us run the site, such as hosting, analytics, email, spam filtering and advertising partners, under appropriate agreements.
- Legal requirements when disclosure is required by law or needed to protect our rights or the safety of others.
- Business changes if the site is transferred to a new owner, in which case this policy would continue to apply.
International Data Transfers
Some of our service providers may process data outside your country. Where this happens, we rely on appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses, to protect your information.
How Long We Keep Data
- Messages and emails: as long as needed to handle your request and any follow-up.
- Comments: retained with the post unless you ask us to remove them.
- Newsletter data: until you unsubscribe.
- Analytics data: according to the retention settings of the analytics provider.
