Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 12, 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how Babad Media ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information when you visit or interact with our website and related pages (the "Service"). By using the Service, you agree to this Privacy Policy.

Who We Are

Babad Media is the controller of personal information processed through this website. For any privacy questions or requests, please use our contact page.

What We Collect

• Information you provide: such as your name and email address when you submit a form or send us a message.
• Usage data: including IP address, browser and device information, pages viewed, timestamps, and referring pages.
• Cookies and similar technologies: small files or identifiers placed on your device to enable core features, remember preferences, understand performance, and support advertising as described below.

Why We Use Your Information

• Provide and operate the Service and maintain security and integrity.
• Respond to inquiries and provide customer support.
• Improve content and user experience through aggregate analytics and diagnostics.
• Personalize content and advertising where permitted by law or your consent preferences.
• Comply with legal obligations, enforce terms, and prevent fraud or abuse.

Legal Bases (EEA/UK Visitors)

Where the GDPR applies, we process personal data under one or more of the following legal bases:

• Consent (for example, non-essential cookies or personalized ads, where required).
• Contract (providing features you request).
• Legitimate interests (site security, basic analytics, non-personalized advertising), balanced against your rights.
• Legal obligation (records and compliance).

Cookies & Similar Technologies

We use four broad categories:

• Strictly necessary: required for core site functions and security.
• Functionality: remember choices like language or region.
• Performance/analytics: understand how the site is used to improve quality.
• Advertising: support ad delivery and, where permitted, personalization and frequency capping.

You can manage cookies via your browser settings and, where shown, our consent notice. Disabling some cookies may affect features of the Service.

Advertising

We work with advertising partners to display ads on our pages. These partners may use cookies or mobile identifiers to deliver ads, measure performance, and—where allowed—adapt ads to your interests. In regions where consent is required for personalized advertising, we will rely on your consent choices. If you opt out or where consent is not granted, you may still see ads, but they will be less relevant.

Analytics

We may use analytics to understand aggregate usage and improve the Service. Analytics data is typically de-identified or aggregated.

How We Share Information

• Service providers: vendors who help us operate the Service (hosting, security, analytics, advertising placement) under appropriate safeguards.
• Legal and safety: to comply with law, enforce our terms, or protect rights, property, and safety.
• Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, subject to this Policy.
• With your direction or consent: for purposes you request.

We do not sell personal information. In jurisdictions where "share" includes cross-context behavioral advertising, we will only "share" personal information for that purpose when permitted by applicable law and subject to your consent or opt-out choices.

International Transfers

Your information may be processed in countries other than your own. We take appropriate measures to protect data during such transfers, consistent with applicable law.

Data Retention

We keep personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, for compliance with legal obligations, or as otherwise permitted by law. Retention periods vary by data type and context (for example, contact form records are retained for support and recordkeeping, while aggregated analytics may be retained longer).

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Privacy Rights

Your rights depend on your location and applicable law. Subject to exceptions, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you.
• Rectify inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Erase personal information.
• Restrict or object to certain processing.
• Data portability of information you provided, in a structured, commonly used format.
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

EEA/UK visitors may also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. To exercise your rights, please contact us at our contact page. We will respond as required by applicable law.

California Privacy Notice

If California law applies to you, and to the extent we are covered by such law, you may have rights to:

• Know the categories and specific pieces of personal information we collect, use, disclose, or "share".
• Delete personal information, subject to exceptions.
• Correct inaccurate personal information.
• Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information (including cross-context behavioral advertising).
• Non-discrimination for exercising your rights.

We do not sell personal information. To request an opt-out from "sharing" for cross-context behavioral advertising, adjust your cookie preferences where available or contact us at our contact page. We will also reasonably honor applicable opt-out preference signals where required by law.

Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" signal. There is currently no industry standard for responding to DNT, so we do not respond to these signals. We disclose that third parties may collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites when you use the Service. You can manage cookies in your browser and, where available, via our consent notice.

Children’s Privacy

The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

Changes To This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. We will post the updated Policy on this page and update the "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the Service after changes become effective means you accept the revised Policy.
