Privacy Policy for Lunar Media
Last updated: August 2025
This Privacy Policy explains how Lunar Media collects, uses, discloses, and protects information when you visit or interact with our website and features.
Overview & Scope
Lunar Media is a content website covering Gardening, Home Improvement, Pets, and Travel. This policy applies to information processed when you browse our pages, use forms, or engage with any functionality on our site.
This policy is global in scope. Where local rules require stronger protection or give you specific rights, we follow the stricter standard for that region.
Information We Collect
We aim to collect only what is necessary to operate, secure, and improve the website. Some information is provided directly by you (for example, via a contact form); other information is collected automatically during browsing.
The categories we may handle include contact details you submit (such as an email address), technical and usage data (IP address, device and browser type, pages viewed, timestamps, referrers, approximate location derived from IP), and preferences that help us tailor the experience.
Cookies & Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to keep the site reliable, measure performance, remember choices, and—where permitted—support advertising. You can manage cookies in your browser settings and, where available on our site, through on-page controls.
Depending on your region, signals like Global Privacy Control (GPC) may be honored for applicable categories. Some cookies are essential for core website functions and cannot be disabled through our controls.
- Necessary cookies: enable security, page loading, and basic features.
- Functional cookies: remember preferences such as language and view settings.
- Analytics/ads cookies: help us understand traffic and, where permitted, show more relevant ads.
How We Use Information
We process information to deliver content reliably, protect the website and readers, and improve clarity and usefulness over time. We do not sell personal information.
Processing includes operating and securing the site, measuring performance, responding to messages, providing contextual or interest-based advertising where lawful, preventing abuse, and complying with legal obligations.
- Operate, maintain, and troubleshoot website performance and security.
- Analyze aggregate traffic to improve articles, layout, and navigation.
- Respond to your requests and feedback with appropriate support.
- Provide and measure ads where allowed by law and your settings.
Legal Bases for Processing
Where required by law, we rely on specific legal bases depending on context and location. We choose the narrowest basis that supports the intended purpose.
Common bases include consent (for optional cookies or communications), contract (when you request a feature), legitimate interests (security, improvement), and legal obligation (record-keeping and compliance).
- Consent: you can withdraw at any time where consent applies.
- Contract: to deliver requested features or support.
- Legitimate interests: balanced against your rights and expectations.
- Legal obligation: when the law requires retention or disclosure.
Sharing & Disclosure
We do not sell personal information. We share it only with parties that help us operate the website, when required by law, or when you direct us to do so.
Recipients act under contractual safeguards and process data on our instructions for limited purposes consistent with this policy.
- Service providers: analytics, infrastructure, and security partners.
- Legal/compliance: to meet lawful requests and enforce our terms.
- Business changes: if operations are reorganized, protections travel with the data.
Your Choices & Rights
Your options include managing cookies in your browser, adjusting available on-site controls, and contacting us to exercise applicable data rights in your region.
Depending on where you live, rights may include access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection (including to certain profiling), portability where feasible, and opting out of "sharing" for cross-context behavioral advertising where defined by law.
- Use browser settings to block or delete cookies.
- Where available, use our on-site controls to adjust preferences.
- Send requests via our contact page with enough detail to verify your identity.
Data Retention
We retain personal data only as long as needed for the purposes described here, to protect the website and readers, and to meet legal or audit requirements.
Retention periods vary by data type and context. When information is no longer required, we delete it or anonymize it in a secure manner.
International Transfers
Our service providers may process data in countries different from where you live. We apply appropriate safeguards to protect information during transfers.
Where local rules require additional measures for cross-border processing, we implement those measures or adjust how we process data.
Children's Privacy
Our content targets a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age required by local law without verifiable parental consent.
If you believe a child provided personal information to us without appropriate consent, please contact us so we can review and take action.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information against accidental or unlawful access, alteration, loss, or misuse.
No online service is 100% secure. Help protect your information by using strong, unique passwords and keeping your devices up to date.
Third-Party Content & Ads
Our articles may reference third-party products or services for context. These are not endorsements or guarantees; third parties operate under their own policies and practices.
Advertising partners may set or read cookies and similar identifiers to measure performance and, where permitted, to personalize ads. You can manage preferences through your browser and available on-site controls.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we post changes, we update the date at the top of this page.
For material changes, we may provide additional notice consistent with the impact of the update. Your continued use of the site after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
