This Privacy Policy explains how I (the owner of this blog) collect, use, and protect your information when you visit tomioflagos.com (the “Site”). By using this Site, you agree to the terms described here.

Effective date: October 2025 (updated)

1. Information I Collect

• Personal Information: If you voluntarily provide it (e.g., when subscribing to a newsletter, leaving a comment, or contacting me), I may collect your name, email address, or other details you share.
• Non-Personal Information: Like most websites, the Site automatically collects certain data such as your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and time spent on the Site. This helps me understand how people use the blog.
• Cookies: Like any other site, this Site may use cookies (small text files stored on your device) to improve your browsing experience, remember preferences, or analyze traffic. You can disable cookies in your browser settings if you prefer.

2. How I Use Your Information

I may use the information collected to:

• Respond to comments, questions, or messages.
• Send newsletters or updates if you’ve subscribed.
• Improve the Site’s content, layout, and user experience.
• Monitor site performance and protect against spam, abuse, or security risks.

3. Sharing of Information

I respect your privacy. I do not sell, trade, or share your personal information with third parties, except:

• When required by law or legal process.
• With trusted service providers (e.g., email newsletter platforms, website hosting) who help operate the Site, under confidentiality agreements.

4. Third-Party Services

This Site may include links to other websites or use third-party tools (like WordPress plugins, analytics, or embedded content from YouTube, Instagram, etc.). These third-party sites may collect data about you according to their own privacy policies, which I do not control.

5. Data Security

I take reasonable measures to protect your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is completely secure, so I cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to:

• Access, update, or delete the personal information you’ve shared.
• Opt out of email subscriptions by clicking “unsubscribe” in emails.
• Disable cookies through your browser settings.

If you’d like to request any of these, please contact me directly.

7. Children’s Privacy

This Site is not directed at children under 13 (or the relevant age of digital consent in your country), and I do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If I discover that I have unintentionally collected information from a child, I will delete it promptly.

If you believe I may have collected personal information from a child, please contact me at [hi@tomioflagos.com].

8. Changes to This Policy

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If significant changes are made, I’ll update the “Effective Date” above.
