Privacy Policy

Effective date: September 11, 2026

The Whitsdom Press (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates https://thewhitsdompress.com and its associated live-streaming service. This policy explains how we handle information when you read our content, subscribe, contact us, comment, watch videos, or support our work.

Information we collect

When you contact us, subscribe to our newsletter, or participate in comments or live chat, we may receive information you provide, such as your name, email address, display name, and message.

Our website and service providers may also collect technical information, including your IP address, browser and device information, pages visited, referring links, and interactions with site features. Cookies and similar technologies may support these functions.

Comments and live-chat messages you submit for public display may be visible to other visitors. Please avoid including private or sensitive information in public submissions.

How we use information

  • Operate, maintain, and protect the website.
  • Send newsletters you request.
  • Respond to questions, feedback, and correction requests.
  • Support comments and other reader interactions.
  • Understand readership and improve our content.
  • Prevent spam, fraud, and misuse.
  • Meet applicable legal obligations.

Service providers

We use service providers for website hosting, newsletters, analytics, security, and reader engagement. These include Hostinger, WordPress-related services such as Jetpack, and Google services.

Providers may process information needed to deliver their services. Their handling of information is also described in their own privacy policies:

Cookies and analytics

We use cookies and similar technologies to support site functionality and understand how visitors use the website.

You can manage cookies through your browser and any privacy controls available on the site. Blocking cookies may affect some features. Browser settings do not necessarily prevent every form of data collection.

Advertising / Cookies

We may use Google AdSense to display advertising on this website. Google and its third-party vendors use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site and other sites on the internet.

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings.

Google reader support prompts

We use Google Reader Revenue Manager to display a voluntary support prompt linking to our Buy Me a Coffee page. Google may process technical information and interactions with that prompt under its privacy policy.

Supporting The Whitsdom Press is optional. Our support prompt does not require a payment to read our articles.

Contributions through Buy Me a Coffee

If you choose to support us, you will be directed to our Buy Me a Coffee page.

Buy Me a Coffee and its payment providers handle checkout and payment information. We may receive supporter information and contribution details made available to creators, such as your name, email address, contribution amount, and message. Please review the privacy information and visibility options provided during checkout.

Embedded videos and external websites

Articles may contain videos, social posts, or other material supplied by external services, including YouTube. Those services may receive technical information, use cookies, and record interactions when their content loads or you use it, particularly if you are signed in to their services.

Links to other websites are governed by those websites’ privacy policies.

When we disclose information

Information may be shared with providers that help operate our services, when you choose to make it public, or when disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to lawful requests, or protect people and our services.

The Whitsdom Press does not sell reader information. Advertising on this site may be served through Google AdSense, which can show personalized ads based on your browsing — see the Advertising / Cookies section below for details and opt-out options.

How long we keep information

We do not currently have a fixed schedule for deleting stored information. To request access, correction, or deletion of your personal information, please contact us through our contact page. Requests are reviewed individually; some information may need to be retained for legal or security reasons.

Your choices and requests

You can unsubscribe from newsletters using the unsubscribe link in an email.

You may contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information we hold about you. Depending on your location and applicable law, additional rights may apply. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request, and some information may need to be retained for legal or security reasons.

Security

We use reasonable safeguards to protect information. No website, storage system, or internet transmission is completely secure.

Children’s information

Our website is intended for a general audience. If you believe a child has provided personal information that should be removed, please contact us.
