Privacy policy

Effective date: November 9, 2026

Kasab ("we", "us", "the site") publishes educational articles about money, markets and investing at kasab.shop. This policy explains what data we collect, why, who receives it, and the choices you have.

1. Data we collect

  • Newsletter: your email address and the language you chose, plus the time you confirmed. We use a double opt-in: nothing is sent until you click the confirmation link.
  • Comments: the name and email you type, the comment text, and a one-way hash of your IP address used only to limit spam. Your email is never shown publicly.
  • Contact form: your name, email and message, used only to reply to you.
  • Usage data: pages viewed, approximate country, device type and referrer, collected by our hosting layer and analytics tool in aggregate form.
  • Saved articles and theme choice: stored only in your own browser (local storage). We do not receive them.
  • Technical logs: IP address, user agent and request time, kept briefly by our servers for security and abuse prevention.

We do not ask for payment details, government identifiers or other sensitive data, and the site is not directed to children under 16.

2. Cookies and similar technologies

We use only what the site needs: a theme and language preference, and a signed session cookie for staff who log in to the admin area. Advertising partners may set their own cookies or use similar identifiers, described below.

3. Advertising

The site is supported by advertising served by third-party networks such as Adsterra, and potentially other networks we may join (for example Ezoic, Mediavine or Raptive). These providers may use cookies, device identifiers and IP-derived location to show and measure ads and to limit fraud. Where the law requires it, we ask for your consent before personalised advertising is enabled, and you can withdraw it at any time through the consent controls on the site or your browser settings. You can also opt out of interest-based ads at youradchoices.com or optout.aboutads.info. Each network's own privacy policy governs how it handles data it collects.

4. How we use data

To publish and secure the site, to deliver the newsletter you requested, to moderate comments, to answer messages, to understand which content is useful, and to fund the site through advertising. We do not sell your email address or comments.

Where GDPR or UK GDPR applies, we rely on your consent (newsletter, personalised ads, non-essential cookies), our legitimate interests (security, spam prevention, aggregate analytics) and, for replying to you, steps you request.

6. Sharing

We share data only with: hosting and database providers that run the site, our email delivery provider, analytics and advertising partners described above, and authorities when legally required. These providers act under their own terms and may process data outside your country; where required we rely on recognised transfer safeguards.

7. Retention

Newsletter data is kept until you unsubscribe. Comments are kept until deleted or until the article is removed. Contact messages are kept for up to 12 months. Server logs are kept for a short period, typically no more than 30 days.

8. Your rights

Depending on where you live (including the EEA, UK, and California), you may have the right to access, correct, delete or export your data, to object to or restrict processing, to withdraw consent, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for advertising. Every newsletter email contains an unsubscribe link. For any other request, use our contact page and name the email address or comment concerned; we respond within 30 days. You may also complain to your local data protection authority.

9. Security

Passwords are hashed, admin sessions are signed, traffic is encrypted with HTTPS, and user content is sanitised before display. No system is perfectly secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Articles may link to other sites. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices.

11. Changes

We may update this policy. The effective date above shows the latest version, and material changes will be highlighted on the site.
