We may use the following categories of cookies:

Essential Cookies

These cookies support basic website functions, security, page navigation, spam prevention, and technical performance.

Where required by applicable law, we will ask for consent before placing non-essential analytics or advertising cookies. You may be able to accept, reject, or manage cookies through the cookie consent tool displayed on the website.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking certain cookies may affect some website features.

6. Google AdSense and Third-Party Advertising

SymbolGalaxy may display advertisements provided by Google AdSense or other third-party advertising networks.

Third-party advertising vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve advertisements based on a visitor’s previous visits to SymbolGalaxy or other websites.

Google’s use of advertising cookies may allow Google and its advertising partners to show advertisements based on browsing activity, interests, general location, device information, and previous visits to websites.

Depending on your location, you may be able to:

  • Reject personalized advertising
  • Select non-personalized advertising
  • Manage advertising consent

Advertising providers may collect information directly from your browser or device. Their collection and use of information are governed by their own privacy policies and settings.

7. Legal Bases for Processing

Where the General Data Protection Regulation, UK GDPR, or similar privacy laws apply, we may process personal information under one or more of the following legal bases:

Consent

We may rely on your consent for non-essential cookies, newsletter subscriptions, or certain forms of personalized advertising.

You may withdraw consent at any time, although withdrawal will not affect processing that occurred before consent was withdrawn.

Legitimate Interests

We may process limited information where necessary for legitimate purposes, such as:

  • Operating and improving the website
  • Understanding general website usage
  • Preventing spam and security threats
  • Responding to enquiries
  • Protecting our legal rights

We consider the potential effect on your privacy before relying on legitimate interests.

Contractual Necessity

We may process information when necessary to provide a service or respond to a specific request you have made.

Legal Obligations

We may process or retain information when required to comply with applicable laws, court orders, regulatory requests, or other lawful obligations.

  • To protect our website, users, property, or legal rights
  • As part of a merger, sale, transfer, or reorganization of the website
  • With your clear permission

Although we do not sell personal information for money, certain uses of advertising cookies may be treated as “sharing,” “targeted advertising,” or a “sale” under some regional privacy laws.

Where applicable, visitors may manage these activities through the cookie consent tool, privacy settings, or by contacting us.

9. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

For example:

  • Security logs may be retained temporarily to identify and prevent abuse.
  • Newsletter information may be retained until you unsubscribe.

We may retain certain information for longer when required by law, necessary to resolve a dispute, or needed to protect our legal rights.

10. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

These measures may include:

  • Secure website connections
  • Website security tools
  • Access controls
  • Regular software updates
  • Spam and malware protection
  • Limited administrative access
  • Secure hosting practices

However, no website, storage system, email service, or internet transmission method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You should avoid submitting confidential or highly sensitive information through ordinary email or public website forms.

11. International Data Transfers

SymbolGalaxy may use service providers that operate in countries other than your own.

As a result, information may be processed or stored in countries where privacy laws differ from those in your place of residence.

Where required, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate legal and security protections are used for international data transfers.

Visitors from the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom may have rights concerning access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, objection, and withdrawal of consent.

You may also have the right to complain to the data protection authority responsible for your country or region.

Where required, non-essential cookies and personalized advertising technologies will not be activated until an appropriate legal basis, such as consent, has been established.

15. Email Communications

When you contact SymbolGalaxy, we may use your email address to respond to your request.

We will not automatically add you to a marketing list simply because you contacted us.

Where a newsletter is offered, you will only receive newsletter communications after subscribing or otherwise providing appropriate permission. You may unsubscribe by using the link included in the message or by contacting us.

Administrative, security, or service-related communications may still be sent when reasonably necessary.

16. Comments and Public Information

If commenting or other public contribution features are enabled, information you submit may become publicly visible.

This may include:

  • Your chosen display name
  • Your comment
  • The date of submission
  • Any information you voluntarily include

Do not include private, sensitive, or confidential information in publicly visible comments.

We may use spam-detection tools and may remove comments that are abusive, misleading, promotional, unlawful, irrelevant, or unsafe.

17. Third-Party Links

SymbolGalaxy may contain links to external websites, references, sources, products, services, religious resources, cultural resources, or educational platforms.

We do not control the privacy practices, security, accuracy, or content of external websites.

Visiting an external link is done at your own discretion. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of every third-party website you visit.

18. Embedded Content

Articles on SymbolGalaxy may contain embedded content such as:

  • Videos
  • Images
  • Social media posts
  • Maps
  • Audio players
  • External documents

Embedded content may behave as though you visited the third-party website directly. The provider may collect information, use cookies, or track interactions according to its own privacy policy.

19. Children’s Privacy

SymbolGalaxy is intended for a general audience and is not specifically directed at children under the age of 13.

We do not knowingly request or collect personal information from children under 13.

If you believe that a child has submitted personal information to SymbolGalaxy, please contact us at [email protected]. We will review the request and take reasonable steps to remove the information where appropriate.

Parents and guardians are encouraged to supervise children’s internet activity.

20. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers provide a “Do Not Track” setting.

Because there is not one universally accepted method for responding to all browser-based Do Not Track signals, SymbolGalaxy may not respond to every such signal.

Where required by applicable law, we may recognize legally supported opt-out preference signals or provide other methods for managing privacy choices.

21. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when:

  • Our website practices change
  • New tools or services are introduced
