Privacy Policy

1. Commitment to Reader Privacy

At Taaza Talkies, we believe readers should consume cultural dialogue without being tracked across the web. We operate with minimal data collection principles:

• No Third-Party Advertising Trackers: We do not sell user data to advertising networks or broker personal profiling.
• No Mandatory Account Creation: Reading stories, viewing timestamped quotes, and searching public conversations requires zero registration.

2. Client-Side Storage & Cookies

We use browser localStorage strictly to persist functional reader preferences:

• theme: Remembers your Light or Dark appearance preference.
• poll_voted_*: Stores anonymous vote tokens locally on your device to prevent double-voting on community polls.

3. Audience Comment Aggregation Ethics

Taaza Talkies aggregates publicly accessible comments from public video platforms (such as YouTube) to synthesize qualitative audience reactions. In accordance with our editorial ethics:

• We only aggregate commentary from publicly accessible video URLs.
• We do not de-anonymize or correlate user identities across disparate social platforms.
• Any commenter wishing to have their publicly cited comment removed from our reaction analysis may request an immediate takedown via corrections.
