Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how The National Cake (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects your information when you use www.thenationalcake.com and our related newsletters and services (the “Services”). Our stories are fictional; our respect for your privacy is not.

Information We Collect

We collect:

• Information you give us, such as your email address when you subscribe to the newsletter or create a reader account, your display name, and anything you include in comments or messages to us.
• Information collected automatically, such as device and browser type, pages visited, time spent on pages, and approximate location derived from your IP address, gathered through cookies and similar technologies.

How We Use Information

• To send newsletters and updates you have asked for.
• To understand which stories readers enjoy most.
• To keep accounts secure and prevent abuse.
• To display and measure advertising.

Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only with service providers who help us run the Services (such as hosting, analytics, and email delivery), when required by law, or in connection with a business transfer. Embedded content from social platforms is governed by those platforms’ own policies.

Data Retention & Security

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described here, then delete or anonymise it. We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information, though no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

Children

The Services are not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.
