Your privacy matters to us as much as your stories do. This policy explains what we collect, why we collect it, and how we protect it — in plain, honest language.

Cookies & tracking
Talehive USA uses cookies to help our website function correctly and to understand how visitors use our site. We use two categories of cookies:
Essential cookies — These are necessary for the website to work. They cannot be turned off. They do not store any personally identifiable information.
Analytics cookies — These help us understand visitor behavior in aggregate, such as which stories are most popular and where visitors come from. This data is anonymous and is never linked to your identity.
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. Note that disabling cookies may affect some functionality of the website.
Sharing your data
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share limited data only in the following circumstances:
Service providers — We may use trusted third-party tools (such as email platforms or website analytics services) that process data on our behalf. These providers are bound by strict confidentiality agreements and may not use your data for their own purposes.
Legal requirements — We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, court order, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of Talehive USA or its users.
In all other cases, your data stays with us and is used only as described in this policy.
Children’s privacy
Talehive USA publishes bedtime stories and other content intended for children, but our website itself is not directed at children under the age of 13.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately at shahhazkakar@gmail.com and we will delete that information promptly.
Children’s story content on our site is designed to be safe, age-appropriate, and free of any data collection targeting minors.

These measures include encrypted data transmission (HTTPS), limited access to personal data by authorized personnel only, and regular security reviews of our practices and systems.
However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. While we do everything in our power to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security. In the unlikely event of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify you promptly as required by law.
