Privacy Policy
Welcome to Similes Write. Your privacy matters to us, and this policy explains what information we collect when you visit our website, how we use it and the choices you have. By using this site, you agree to the practices described below.
Information We Collect
We collect two kinds of information:
- Information you provide directly. If you send us a message through our contact form, we receive the name, email address and message you enter. We use these details only to read and respond to your enquiry.
- Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our hosting provider and analytics tools may record technical details such as your IP address, browser type, device information, the pages you visit and how long you stay. This helps us keep the site secure and understand which content readers enjoy.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Respond to messages and questions you send us.
- Operate, maintain and improve the website and its content.
- Monitor site security and prevent misuse.
- Understand readership patterns so we can create more of what you find useful.
We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information to anyone.
Cookies
Similes Write uses cookies, which are small files stored on your device, to remember your preferences, keep the site working smoothly and gather anonymous usage statistics. Some cookies are set by third-party services we use, such as analytics and advertising providers. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings; please note that disabling cookies may affect how parts of the site work.
Third-Party Services and Advertising
We may display advertisements served by third-party advertising networks, such as Google AdSense. These networks may use cookies and similar technologies to show you adverts that match your interests and to measure their performance. We have no control over these third-party cookies. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party service whose content appears on our pages.
We may also use analytics services, such as Google Analytics, to understand how visitors use the site. These services collect information in an aggregated, anonymous form wherever possible.
Data Security
We take reasonable steps to protect your information from unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure, including secure hosting, limited administrative access and login protection on our website. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request a copy of the personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. To make such a request, please contact us through our Contact Us page and we will respond as promptly as we can.
