Welcome to The Peak View Stories — where facts meet fun, and even our cookies come with a side of wit.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our website. By using our site, you’re agreeing to the terms outlined below. If you don’t agree with them, we kindly suggest switching to a newspaper (but we hope you don’t).
What Information We Collect
We collect two types of information:
1. Non-Personal Information (Automatic Collection):
-
Your IP address

2. Personal Information (Only When You Share It):
-
Your email address (if you subscribe to our newsletter or contact us)

Cookies
Yes, we use cookies — not the chocolate chip kind, but the digital kind that help us:
-
Improve your experience

Track site traffic via analytics tools like Google Analytics
You can disable cookies through your browser settings anytime. No hard feelings.
How We Use Your Info
We use your information to:

Respond to your messages
-
Send you updates or newsletters (only if you opt-in)
-
Analyze traffic and optimize content

Prevent spam and abuse
We don’t sell or rent your personal information. Even if someone offered us a villa in Goa, we’d say no (probably).
Third-Party Services
We may use third-party tools like:
-
Google Analytics (for site stats)
-
Email marketing platforms (to send you updates)
-
Social media embeds (like X posts or Instagram Reels)
These third parties may collect data according to their own privacy policies. We don’t control them, but we try to work with reputable tools.
Data Security
We use standard security measures to protect your information. While no method is 100% foolproof, we do our best to keep your data safe from shady hackers and nosy neighbors.
Your Rights
You can:
-
Request a copy of the data we have about you
-
Ask us to delete it
-
Unsubscribe anytime (we won’t take it personally)
Just email us at contact@peakviewstories.com with your request.
Children’s Privacy
Our content is made for mature(ish) audiences. We don’t knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you think we accidentally did, please let us know.
Updates to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, usually when:
-
We adopt a new tool
-
Our lawyer gets bored
-
We start a new category like “Astrology for Bureaucrats”
Changes will be posted here with the updated effective date.
