This Privacy Notice describes how StoryChef Media, LLC ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares your information when you use our services, visit our website, or otherwise interact with us. We process your information to provide, improve, and administer our services, communicate with you, and for security and fraud prevention.
We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you express interest in our services, when you contact us, or when you otherwise engage with us. The personal information we collect may include:
All personal information you provide must be true, complete, and accurate, and you must notify us of any changes.
We automatically collect certain information when you visit, use, or navigate our services. This information does not reveal your specific identity but may include device and usage information such as your IP address, browser and device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, device name, country, location, information about how and when you use our services, and other technical information. This information is primarily needed to maintain the security and operation of our services and for our internal analytics and reporting purposes.
We may also collect location data, such as approximate location based on your IP address or, where you have given permission, more precise location data via GPS or other technologies on your device.
We may obtain information about you from other sources, such as public databases, joint marketing partners, affiliate programs, data providers, and from other third parties. This information includes mailing addresses, job titles, email addresses, phone numbers, intent data (or user behavior data), Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, social media profiles, social media URLs, and custom profiles, for the purposes of targeted advertising and event promotion.
We process your information for a variety of reasons, depending on how you interact with our services, including:
We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to access or store information. Cookies help us maintain the security of our services, prevent crashes, fix bugs, save your preferences, and assist with basic site functions. We also permit third parties and service providers to use cookies on our services to enable analytics and advertising, including to help manage and display advertisements.
You can typically remove and reject cookies from our services through your browser settings. However, if you choose to remove or reject cookies, this could affect certain features or services of our website.
Our services use third-party services that may collect information used to identify you. Examples include but are not limited to:
These third-party services have their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.
We may share information in specific situations described in this section and with the following categories of third parties:
We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements). When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information.
We do not knowingly collect, solicit data from, or market to children under 18 years of age. If we learn that personal information from users less than 18 years of age has been collected, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records.
Depending on your state of residence in the U.S., you may have certain rights regarding your personal information. Subject to applicable law, these rights may include the right to:
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information below.
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage, no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online.
We may update this Privacy Notice from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by an updated "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this Privacy Notice frequently to be informed of how we are protecting your information.
