Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

HoroskopiShqip.com is an Albanian‑language website offering daily, weekly, monthly and yearly horoscope content. We act as the “data controller” for the processing described below.

Email: [email protected]  

2. Data we collect

• Device and usage data: IP address, browser/OS type, pages viewed, time on page, referrer, and coarse geolocation from IP via analytics and advertising tags.
• Cookies and similar tech: strictly necessary cookies for site operation and, with consent, analytics and advertising cookies (personalization, frequency capping, measurement).
• Consent signals: if a CMP using the IAB TCF is deployed, we store a consent string (“TC String”) representing your choices.
• Voluntary submissions: name, email, and message content when you contact us via forms or email.

3. Legal bases

• Necessary/legitimate interests to operate and secure the Site (strictly necessary cookies, security, fraud prevention).
• Consent for non‑essential cookies (analytics/ads) and for ad personalization where applicable.
• Legal obligations under Albanian data‑protection law aligned with GDPR.

4. Cookies and consent

A cookie banner provides clear Accept and Reject choices before setting non‑essential cookies. You can change or withdraw consent at any time using the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer or the CMP interface.

Your preferences are stored and signaled to vendors (e.g., via TCF) when enabled.

5. Advertising and measurement

The Site monetizes with ad‑tech partners using cookies/identifiers for ad delivery, measurement, fraud prevention, frequency capping and, where consented, personalization. Vendor identities, purposes, and retention are disclosed in the CMP vendor list.

The CMP configuration reflects current TCF requirements for transparency and explicit consent for personalized ads.

6. Data sharing

• Service providers: analytics, hosting/CDN, security, and advertising partners, consistent with your consent choices.
• Legal/compliance: where required by law or to protect our rights.

7. International transfers

Where data is processed outside Albania/EU/EEA, appropriate safeguards (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses) are applied. Vendor locations and safeguards are disclosed in the CMP.

8. Data retention

• Strictly necessary cookies and logs are kept only as needed to operate and secure the Site.
• Non‑essential cookies and vendor data follow the retention periods disclosed in the CMP.
• Contact messages are retained as needed to respond and for legal compliance.

9. Your rights

Subject to applicable law, you have the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection, and to withdraw consent at any time (without affecting prior processing). You can also lodge a complaint with the Albanian data protection authority.

To exercise rights, use the “Cookie Settings” link for cookie preferences or contact us at [email protected].

10. Children’s privacy

This Site is for a general audience and is not directed to children under the age defined by local law. If a child has provided personal data, a parent/guardian may request deletion.

11. Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data, but no method is 100% secure.

12. Third‑party links

The Site may link to third‑party websites or platforms; their privacy practices and controls apply to those services.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this Policy to reflect changes in services or legal requirements (including TCF updates). The “Last updated” date indicates the latest revision.

14. Contact

For privacy questions or requests, contact [email protected] or use the Site’s contact page.
