Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 6, 2026

Kong Stories ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website www.kong-stories.com. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share information when you visit our site.

Who we are

Kong Stories is a storytelling site. For privacy questions, contact us at editor@kong-stories.com.

Information we collect

Depending on how you use the site, we may collect:

• Usage and device information — such as pages viewed, approximate location derived from IP address, browser type, and referring URLs. Our website is hosted on Squarespace, which may process this information to operate and improve the site (including analytics).

• Cookies and similar technologies — used for essential site functions and, if you allow them, for analytics and preferences. You can manage non-essential cookies through our cookie banner (where available) and your browser settings.

• Information you submit — if you contact us or fill out a form, we receive what you provide (for example, your name, your email address, and your message). We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information through this site.

How we use information

We use information to:

• Operate, maintain, and improve Kong Stories
• Understand how visitors use the site
• Respond to messages you send us
• Protect the security and integrity of the site

Sharing of information

We use service providers that help us run the site — in particular Squarespace (hosting, site features, and analytics). Those providers process information on our behalf under their own terms and privacy policies.

We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights, users, or the public. We do not sell your personal information.

Cookies

Essential cookies are needed for the site to work. Non-essential cookies (such as analytics) are used only as allowed by your cookie preferences and applicable settings. You can change your browser settings to block or delete cookies; some features may not work if you do.

Data retention

We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes above, unless a longer period is required by law.

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live (including Mexico and other regions), you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or object to certain processing of your personal information, or to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. To make a request, email editor@kong-stories.com. We may need to verify your request before responding.

Children's privacy

Kong Stories is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

International visitors

Our site is operated with hosting and tools that may process data in the United States and other countries. If you visit from elsewhere (including Mexico), your information may be transferred to and processed in those locations.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the site after an update means you acknowledge the revised policy.
