The Daily Reads: All you need to read
Last updated: October 13, 2026
Welcome to The Daily Reads (“we,” “us,” or “our”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit our website, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the site, you agree to this policy.
Who we are
Our website address is: https://thedailyreads.com.
Information we collect
Information you provide: When you leave a comment, subscribe to our newsletter, contact us, or register an account, we collect details such as your name, email address, website (optional), and the message you submit.
Information collected automatically: We may collect your IP address, browser type and user agent, device and operating system, pages viewed, time spent, referring website, and approximate location (based on IP address).
How we use your information
- To operate, maintain, and improve the site and our content
- To send newsletters and updates you subscribed to
- To respond to your messages and requests
- To moderate comments and prevent spam or abuse
- To analyze traffic and understand reader interests
- To comply with legal obligations
Comments
When visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Some parts of the site may not work properly if cookies are disabled.
Analytics (keep only if you use analytics)
We may use analytics tools such as Google Analytics to understand how readers use our site. These tools may use cookies to collect information like pages visited and time spent. This data is used in aggregate to improve our content.
Advertising (keep only if you show ads)
We may display ads from third-party networks such as Google AdSense. These vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising at https://adssettings.google.com.
Newsletter and email communications (keep only if you have a newsletter)
If you subscribe to our newsletter, we use your email address to send you updates. We may use an email service provider such as Mailchimp to deliver them. You can unsubscribe at any time using the “unsubscribe” link in any email or by contacting us.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves in exactly the same way as if the visitor had visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Third-party links
Our articles may link to external websites. We do not control these sites and are not responsible for their privacy practices. Please read their policies.
Who we share your data with
We do not sell your personal information. We may share it only with:
- Service providers that help us run the site (hosting, spam detection, email delivery, analytics)
- Advertising partners, if we display ads
- Legal authorities, when required by law or to protect our rights and users
- A successor, if the site is sold, merged, or transferred
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Our service providers may be located outside your country, so your information may be processed in other countries.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
Newsletter data is kept until you unsubscribe.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we correct or erase any personal data we hold about you, or object to or restrict certain processing. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
If you are in the EU/EEA or UK, you may also lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
Data security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage over the internet is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children’s privacy
The Daily Reads is not directed at children under 13 (or 16 where applicable), and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has given us personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top shows the latest version. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
