Privacy Policy

This page is very important! It explains what information ostvibes.com collects when you visit our website, why we collect it, how we use it, and how we keep it safe. We promise to keep this simple and clear. Your trust is very important to us.

We Do Not Sell Your Information

This is the most important thing you should know: We do not sell your personal information to anyone. Your information stays with us. We only use it to make our website better for you.

What Information We Collect

When you visit ostvibes.com, we collect two main kinds of information:

1. Information You Give Us: This happens when you do things like:
   • Send us an email on the Contact Us page. You give us your email address and your name so we can write back to you.
   • Leave a comment on an article. You might give us your name or a nickname and your email address.
   • Sign up for a newsletter (if we have one). You would give us your email address.
2. Information We Collect Automatically: This happens just by you visiting our website. We use tools like Google Analytics to help us. This information is usually not personal and does not tell us who you are as a person. It tells us things like:
   • What stories you read the most.
   • What type of device you are using (like a phone or a computer).
   • What country you are in.
   • How long you stay on our pages.

Why We Collect This Information

We collect this information for a few simple reasons:

• To Talk to You: If you send us a question, we need your email to reply!
• To Make the Website Better: Knowing which stories are popular helps us write more of the music news you love. If we see that many people read articles about movie music, we will write more of those! This helps us keep the content helpful and interesting.
• To Keep Things Safe: Collecting simple information can help us see if there are problems with the website or if someone is trying to cause trouble.
• To Help with Advertising: If we show ads, we use general information (like the country you are in) to show ads that might be useful to you.

What Are Cookies?

A cookie is a very small text file that a website can put on your computer or phone. Think of it like a tiny sticky note. It does not look at your files or take your information. Its job is to remember things to make your next visit easier.

• Example: A cookie might remember that you already saw a certain message so we do not show it to you again.
• We use cookies to help our website work correctly and to help us understand what stories you like.

How We Protect Your Information

We take keeping your information safe very seriously. We use security tools and follow good rules to protect the information we collect. We work hard to make sure only the people who need to see your information (like the person who replies to your email) can see it. No security system is perfect, but we do our very best to keep everything protected.

Links to Other Websites

Sometimes our stories will have links that take you to other websites (like a link to YouTube to listen to a song). When you click those links, you leave ostvibes.com. We are not responsible for what those other websites do with your information. You should read the Privacy Policy on those other websites too.

How You Can Control Your Information

You are in control of your information!

• Cookies: Most web browsers (like Chrome or Firefox) let you turn off cookies. If you do this, some parts of our website might not work perfectly, but you can still read all the news.
• Email: If you ever sign up for an email list from us and decide you do not want it anymore, there will always be an “Unsubscribe” link at the bottom of the email. Just click it, and we will stop sending emails to you.
• Contact Us: If you ever want to know what personal information we have about you (if any), just email us! We will tell you what we have.

This Privacy Policy may change a little over time, but we will always keep it simple and easy to read. We will always keep our promise: We do not sell your personal information. Your privacy is important, and we will always try our best to respect and protect it.
