Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help 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.

Google Adsense & Advertising

Our website uses Google AdSense, which may collect and process data such as cookies to serve personalised advertisements. For more details, refer to Google’s advertising data practices in their respective policies.

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.

Embedded Content

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has 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 with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

3rd Party Disclosure

We may share non-personal tracking data with trusted third-party services, including:

Google Analytics (to analyse traffic)

Affiliate partners (when you click on referral links)

Advertising networks (for ad personalisation)

We do not sell or share personal data unless required by law.

Data Retention

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

Data Protection

We implement security measures to protect your data, including:

Encrypted communication (HTTPS)

Limited access to personal information

Regular monitoring for vulnerabilities

However, no online transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection.

Cultural Content Disclaimer

Our website shares folklore, legends, spiritual interpretations, and cultural narratives from Southeast Asia. Some stories originate from oral traditions and local beliefs and are presented as cultural heritage, not scientific or historical claims unless supported by verified archaeological or historical research.
