Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 5, 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how Kepedia ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you visit or use our websites and pages (the "Website"). We aim to be clear, respectful, and practical so you can make informed choices.

Who We Are

Kepedia is a content publisher focused on Gardening, Home Improvement, Pets, and Travel. For privacy matters, Kepedia is the data controller where applicable. You can reach us via our Contact page described below.

Scope

This Policy applies to the Website and its subpages/subdomains operated by Kepedia (including any domain variations we use). It covers information collected online through forms, comments, analytics, advertising tags, and cookies or similar technologies.

• Cookies: Small files placed on your device to remember settings, measure performance, and support features.
• Processing: Any operation performed on Personal Data (collecting, storing, using, sharing, etc.).

Information We Collect

• Information You Provide: Contact details (e.g., name, email) when you submit forms or feedback.
• Usage and Device Data: IP address, device type, browser type/version, pages visited, time and date of visit, referrer, approximate location inferred from IP, and diagnostic logs.
• Cookies and Similar Technologies: Necessary, functional, performance/analytics, and advertising cookies or local storage.
• User-Generated Content: Comments or messages you submit. Please avoid posting sensitive personal data in public areas.

How We Use Information

• Provide and Improve the Service: Operate the Website, diagnose issues, measure performance, and enhance features.

Legal Bases (EEA/UK)

When EU/UK privacy law applies, we process Personal Data under one or more of these legal bases: (a) consent; (b) contract; (c) legitimate interests (e.g., site security, non-intrusive analytics); (d) legal obligation. You can withdraw consent at any time via the cookie banner or your browser settings, without affecting prior lawful processing.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use:

• Strictly Necessary: Required for core site functions.
• Functional: Remember choices (e.g., language).
• Performance/Analytics: Help us understand how the Website is used.
• Advertising: Support ad delivery and measurement where allowed.

You can manage preferences from our cookie banner (where shown) and in your browser/device settings. For visitors in the EEA/UK/Switzerland, we seek consent for certain cookies and adjust tags to honor your choices.

Advertising and Analytics

We may use advertising and measurement tools (for example, those provided by major ad platforms) to deliver and evaluate content and ads. In the EEA/UK/Switzerland, we apply consent controls and pass your choices to our tags (including the current consent parameters) so measurement and ads behave according to your selections. In jurisdictions that require recognition of opt-out preference signals, we honor them where applicable.

Data Sharing

• Service Providers: Vendors that host, analyze, secure, or support the Website may process data under our instructions.
• Legal and Safety: We may disclose information to comply with law or protect rights, safety, and security.
• Business Changes: In a reorganization or transfer, data may be part of the transaction with appropriate safeguards.

We do not sell Personal Data for money. Where laws define "sale" or "share" to include certain advertising disclosures, you may opt out as described below.

International Data Transfers

When transferring Personal Data internationally, we use appropriate safeguards as required by law (for example, standard contractual clauses) and assess the transfer context to help protect your information.

Data Retention

We keep Personal Data only as long as needed for the purposes described in this Policy, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law (e.g., tax, compliance, dispute resolution). Usage Data may be retained for a shorter period unless we need it to enhance security, investigate issues, or meet legal obligations.

Security

We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect Personal Data. No method of transmission or storage is fully secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your rights depend on your location. Subject to legal limits, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to processing, and request portability of your data. You can exercise these rights through the Contact section below.
