1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy describes how ETC Entertainment Couch ("we", "us") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit the Site, submit a blog post, play a linked game, or contact us.
2. Information We Collect
We collect information in a few limited ways:
- Contact form submissions — the name, email address, and message you provide when you use our Contact page.
- Blog submissions — the author name, title, content, category, and any image you provide through Create New Blog. Submitted images are stored on the Site so they can be displayed alongside your post.
- Basic technical data — standard server information such as browser type and pages visited, which most websites collect automatically as part of normal operation.
We do not require you to create an account, and we do not knowingly collect payment information.
3. How We Use Information
We use the information above to:
- Respond to messages sent through our Contact page;
- Publish and display blog posts submitted through the Site;
- Maintain, secure, and improve the Site; and
- Meet legal obligations where applicable.
We do not sell your personal information.
4. Cookies & Local Storage
The Site does not use tracking or advertising cookies. Any storage used by the browser (for example, to remember a preference while you browse) stays on your own device and is not shared with us or any third party.
5. How We Share Information
We do not share, rent, or sell the information described above to third parties, except where required by law or to protect the rights, property, or safety of ETC Entertainment Couch, our users, or the public.
6. Third-Party Links
Our Games page links to external, independently operated websites. Once you leave our Site to play a game, that site's own privacy policy applies — we encourage you to review it, since we have no control over how those sites handle information.
7. Data Retention
Contact form messages and submitted blog posts are stored for as long as needed to respond to your message or keep your post published. You can ask us to remove your submitted content or message at any time by contacting us.
8. Your Rights & Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information. To make a request, use our Contact page and we will respond as soon as we reasonably can.
9. Children's Privacy
The Site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes take effect as soon as they're posted on this page, along with an updated "Last updated" date.
