Information We Collect
When you visit the Fantasy & Folklore Library (ukolu.com), our servers automatically record certain routine information: your IP address, the type of browser and device you use, the operating system, the referring page, the pages you view and the time of each request. This data is collected for every visitor and is necessary for the technical operation of the catalogue.
If you choose to contact us via the email address listed on the site (editor@ukolu.com), we receive the content of your message and the email address you send from. We do not ask for or require any account registration to browse or read ebooks.
We may store a small piece of information on your device (a cookie) to remember preferences such as text size or display mode. Where enabled, we use analytics services that may set cookies to help us understand how the catalogue is used. If advertising is displayed on the site, third-party advertising networks may place cookies or web beacons to serve relevant ads and measure their performance.
How We Use Your Information
Server log data is used to diagnose technical issues, analyse usage trends, improve the catalogue, and protect the site from abuse. We do not attempt to identify individual visitors from log data except in cases of security incidents or legal obligations.
If you send us a message, we use your contact details only to reply to your inquiry. We do not add your email address to any marketing list or share it with third parties.
Preference cookies are used solely to provide the settings you have chosen. Analytics cookies, where enabled, help us understand which books and sections are most popular, so we can prioritise content that readers value.
Where advertising is present, third-party ad networks may use data about your visits to this and other websites to provide advertisements of interest to you. This may involve the use of cookies and web beacons. We do not control the data practices of these networks. You can learn more about how Google uses data when you use its partners’ sites or apps by visiting Google’s privacy policy.
Third-Party Access
We may engage limited service providers (such as hosting, analytics, or advertising platforms) who have access to personal data only as necessary to perform their functions and under contractual obligations to protect that data. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes.
Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Data Retention
We retain server log data for a period sufficient for analysis and security purposes, after which it is deleted or anonymised. Message correspondence is retained only as long as necessary to address your inquiry and for related record-keeping. Cookie data persists according to the expiry set in the cookie itself.
Your Choices
You can configure your browser to reject cookies, to alert you when a cookie is set, or to delete cookies after a session. Disabling cookies may affect the functionality of certain features, such as saved preferences. Most analytics services also offer opt-out mechanisms; for example, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Where advertising is displayed, you may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting the Google Ads Settings page or the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page. Opting out does not mean you will no longer see ads; it means the ads you see may be less relevant to your interests.
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal data, such as the right to access, correct, delete, or port your data, and the right to restrict or object to processing. To exercise these rights, please contact us using the email address provided. We will respond to your request in accordance with applicable law. We do not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.
Children’s Privacy
The catalogue includes a category titled “Folklore,” which may contain works appropriate for younger audiences. However, the site is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so that we can delete it.
External Links
The catalogue may contain links to other websites, including sources for ebooks or related commentary. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those external sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.
International Access
This site is hosted and operated from Canada. If you access the catalogue from outside Canada, your data may be transferred to, stored, and processed in Canada or other jurisdictions where our service providers operate. By using the site, you acknowledge that your data may be subject to the laws of those jurisdictions, which may differ from your own.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page. Your continued use of the catalogue after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
