Your privacy matters to us

At Ritualhouston.com, we recognize that your privacy is critically important. We are fully committed to respecting and protecting any personal information you provide to us while interacting with our website. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and, in some cases, disclose your personal data when you visit www.ritualhouston.com/ (referred to as "we", "our", or "the site"). It is intended to help you understand our practices and your rights regarding your information. Please note that this policy applies exclusively to data collected through this website and not to information obtained through other channels or offline interactions.

1. Personal Information We Collect

We may collect personally identifiable information (PII) from visitors in a variety of ways depending on how they interact with our site. This information can include, but is not limited to, your name, email address, IP address, and any other details you voluntarily provide. For instance, when you leave a comment on one of our articles, you may be asked to supply a username and a valid email address. This helps us ensure transparency and accountability within our community.

We only collect personal data when it is necessary for the operation of certain features or services, and we do so with your explicit consent wherever required. The information we collect is never sold or shared with third parties without your knowledge, except as outlined in this policy.

2. Security of Your Information

We take the protection of your personal information very seriously. Ritualhouston.com uses commercially acceptable measures, including encryption, secure servers, and regular security audits, to safeguard the data we collect. However, no method of data transmission over the internet or method of digital storage is entirely secure. While we do our best to use industry-standard practices, we cannot guarantee complete security of your information.

It is important that you also take precautions when using the internet, such as using secure passwords and avoiding sharing personal information on public networks. If you suspect that your interaction with our website has been compromised, please contact us immediately so we can take the necessary steps.

3. Advertising and Cookies

Our website may display advertisements delivered by trusted third-party ad networks or partners. These ads may use tracking technologies such as cookies or web beacons to gather information about your browsing habits. This allows them to present ads tailored to your interests and preferences based on your behavior across the web.

We want to make it clear that we do not have access to or control over the cookies used by third-party advertisers, and this Privacy Policy does not cover their activities. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of those third parties for more information about how they use your data.

Our content may include links to websites operated by third parties. These external sites are not under our control, and we are not responsible for their content, policies, or practices. Clicking on a link to a third-party website means you are leaving our site and are subject to the privacy and security practices of that site.

We encourage you to review the Privacy Policy and Terms of Service of every website you visit, especially if you are submitting any personal information. Your interactions with those websites are entirely at your own discretion and risk.

5. Use of Affiliate Links

Ritualhouston.com may participate in affiliate marketing programs, which means we may earn a commission if you click on a link and make a purchase. These affiliate links are included as a way to support the maintenance and development of our website and content, without any additional cost to you.

We only recommend products or services we genuinely believe may be of interest to our readers. The presence of affiliate links does not influence the content or opinions shared on the site, and we remain committed to transparency and honesty in all our recommendations.
