Welcome to The Smart Poetry (https://thesmartpoetry.com/). Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit our website, how we use it, and what choices you have.

If you have any questions about this policy, please contact us through our Contact page: https://thesmartpoetry.com/contact/

Information We Collect

We collect very little personal information. Most of our website can be read without giving us any personal data.

We may collect:

  • Information you give us: if you use our contact form, we receive your name, email address, and your message, so we can reply to you.
  • Comments: if you leave a comment on a post, we collect the name, email address, and comment text you enter, along with your IP address and browser details, to help stop spam.
  • Log files: like most websites, our server keeps standard log files. These include IP addresses, browser type, internet service provider, date and time, and the pages visited. This data is used to run and protect the website and to understand general traffic trends. It is not linked to information that personally identifies you.
  • Cookies: we and our partners use cookies, as explained below.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website.

We use cookies to:

  • Remember basic settings and keep the website working well.
  • Understand how visitors use our website, so we can improve our content.
  • Show advertisements through Google AdSense.

You can turn off cookies in your browser settings at any time. If you turn off cookies, some parts of the website may not work as well, but you can still read our content.

Google AdSense and Advertising

We use Google AdSense to show ads on this website.

  • Google and its partners use cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this site and to other sites on the internet.
  • Google’s use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visits to our site and/or other sites on the internet.
  • You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings: https://www.google.com/settings/ads
  • You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising at: https://www.aboutads.info/choices/

Third-party ad vendors and ad networks may use cookies, JavaScript, or web beacons in the ads shown on The Smart Poetry. These are sent directly to your browser from their servers. They automatically receive your IP address when this happens. These technologies are used to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns and to personalize the ads you see. The Smart Poetry has no access to or control over the cookies used by third-party advertisers.

Google Analytics

We may use Google Analytics (through Google Site Kit) to understand how visitors use our website, for example which pages are popular and which countries our readers come from. Google Analytics uses cookies and collects usage data in an aggregated form. You can learn how Google uses data from sites that use its services here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

Embedded Content and External Links

Our pages may include embedded content (for example videos or images) or links to other websites. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you visited that other website directly. Those websites may collect data about you and use their own cookies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites, and we encourage you to read their privacy policies.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Run, maintain, and improve The Smart Poetry.
  • Reply to messages sent through our contact form.
  • Understand which poetry and quotes our readers like, so we can publish better content.

  • Protect the website against spam, abuse, and technical problems.

We do not sell your personal information to anyone.

The Smart Poetry does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe your child has provided personal information on our website, please contact us and we will remove it promptly.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask what personal data we hold about you, and to ask us to correct or delete it. To make a request, contact us through our Contact page and we will respond as soon as we reasonably can.
