This Privacy Policy explains what information CINMAA (cinmaa.com, “we”, “us”) collects when you visit the site, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Information we collect
- Information you give us: your name, email address and message when you use the contact form, leave a comment, submit a story to the Community section, subscribe to updates, or place an order in our shop.
- Information collected automatically: like most websites, our server and analytics tools record technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device, the pages you visit and the time of your visit.
- Cookies: small files stored in your browser that help the site work, remember your preferences and measure visits.
How we use information
We use this information to run and improve the site, reply to your messages, publish comments and community submissions you send us, process orders, understand which articles are useful, and keep the site secure. We do not sell your personal information.
Advertising and Google AdSense
CINMAA uses Google AdSense to show advertisements. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this website and other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalised advertising at www.aboutads.info. To learn more, see how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
Embedded content
Articles may include embedded videos and other content from sites such as YouTube and Instagram. Embedded content behaves as if you visited that site directly, and those sites may collect data about you, use cookies and track your interaction under their own privacy policies.
Managing cookies
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some parts of the site, such as the shop cart, may not work properly without them.
How long we keep data
We keep messages and comments for as long as they are needed for the purpose they were sent, and order records for as long as the law requires.
Your rights
You can ask us to see, correct or delete the personal information we hold about you, subject to any legal obligation to keep it. Write to us through the Contact page.
