Privacy Policy
Updated 24/11/2024
Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how Ghostwatch.com collects, uses, maintains and discloses information from our users. We are committed to protecting your privacy whilst providing a platform for sharing paranormal experiences and evidence.
Information Collection
Ghostwatch.com collects information when users engage with our platform through uploading paranormal evidence, submitting ghost stories, contributing to our Ghostmap, registering accounts, or contacting our support team.
Personal Information
We collect personal information such as your name and email address when you choose to register with us. If you contribute to our Ghostmap feature, we may collect location data relevant to your paranormal reports. User-submitted content, including ghost stories and photographs, is stored securely on our servers. We do not directly store YouTube or Vimeo videos on our platform. Instead, videos from YouTube or Vimeo are linked from their respective video platforms, which means the content is embedded rather than hosted natively on Ghostwatch.com
Technical Information
Our website automatically collects certain technical information during your visits. This includes your browser type, device information, access times and IP address. We utilise Google Analytics to help us understand how our site is being used. Our site also employs cookies to enhance your browsing experience and maintain essential functionality.
How We Use Your Information
Your information enables us to operate the Ghostwatch platform effectively. We use it to display your paranormal reports, maintain our interactive Ghostmap, process your media uploads and improve our website’s functionality. We may also use your email address to respond to enquiries or send important service updates.
User Content and Rights
When you submit content to Ghostwatch.com, you retain ownership of your materials. By uploading content, you grant us permission to display your submissions on our platform. You may request removal of your content at any time, and we will honour such requests promptly.
Security Measures
We take the security of your information seriously. Our website employs SSL encryption for all data transmissions, and we maintain secure storage for all media uploads. User accounts are protected by modern security protocols, and we regularly update our security measures.
Data Sharing Policy
We maintain a strict policy against selling personal information to third parties. Content is shared publicly on our platform only with your explicit consent. Technical data is used solely for the purpose of operating and improving our service.
