Crowned Continent exists to make African history accessible. We respect the people who trust us with their attention, questions and information. This policy explains what data may be collected when you use crownedcontinent.com, why it is used and the choices available to you.
Who we are
Crowned Continent is an educational website dedicated to African history and culture. Our website address is https://crownedcontinent.com. General privacy questions may be sent to hello@crownedcontinent.com.
Information you provide
We may receive information that you voluntarily send by email, through forms or when proposing corrections, partnerships or contributions. This may include your name, email address, organisation, message, supporting documents and any other information you choose to provide. We use it only to respond, assess the request, protect the website and maintain appropriate records.
Technical information
Our hosting, security and analytics services may process limited technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, referring page, pages visited, approximate location and timestamps. This information helps deliver pages, prevent abuse, understand website performance and improve educational content.
Cookies and consent
Essential cookies may be used for security, administration and basic website functions. Optional analytics or advertising cookies should be used according to the choice made through our cookie banner. You can accept, reject or customise optional cookies and can change browser settings to delete or block them. Clearing browser data may cause the consent banner to appear again.
Advertising and external content
The website may display advertising, sponsor material or embedded content from external services. Those providers may process data under their own privacy policies, subject to applicable consent requirements. Advertising does not purchase editorial influence, and sponsored material should be identified clearly.
How information is shared
We do not sell personal information. Data may be processed by service providers that help host, secure, analyse or operate the website, or disclosed when required by law, necessary to protect rights and safety, or connected with a legitimate organisational transfer. Providers should receive only what is reasonably necessary for their role.
Retention and security
Information is kept only as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, legal obligations, dispute resolution and security. We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, but no internet service can promise absolute security.
Your rights and choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection or portability of personal information, and to withdraw consent where processing relies on consent. Contact hello@crownedcontinent.com. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request.
Children
Crowned Continent provides educational material for learners, but the website is not designed to knowingly collect personal information directly from children without appropriate consent. A parent or guardian who believes a child has submitted personal information should contact us.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when the website, services or legal requirements change. The revision date at the top will show when the policy was last updated.
