Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 14, 2025

We care about your privacy. This page explains, in plain language, how we collect, use, and protect information on Tepapedia—so you can read, learn, and roam our pages with ease.

Who We Are and Scope

Tepapedia is a content site focused on gardening, home improvement, pets, and travel. This Policy applies to information collected through our website and any pages that link to it.

Depending on where you live, additional regional disclosures may apply. See the “Your Privacy Rights” section for details relevant to your region.

Data Controller: Tepapedia. For any questions, see “How to Exercise Your Rights or Contact Us.”

Information We Collect

Information you provide directly. When you submit forms (for example, our contact page), we may collect your name, email address, and the message you send.

Information collected automatically. When you use the site, we and our service providers may collect IP address, device and browser details, settings, language, approximate location from IP, pages viewed, time on page, and referring/exit pages. We use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies to enable core functions, remember preferences, measure performance, support advertising, and prevent fraud.

Information from partners. Where allowed by law and your choices, advertising and analytics partners may provide pseudonymous identifiers, approximate location, or aggregated insights to help us measure reach, improve relevance, and reduce abuse.

How We Use Information

We use information to operate the site, respond to inquiries, personalize content where permitted, measure and improve performance, detect and prevent fraud, and comply with legal obligations.

Where required (for example, in the EEA/UK), we rely on legal bases such as consent (e.g., for non-essential cookies or personalized ads), contract (to provide requested features), legal obligation (e.g., security or tax), and legitimate interests (e.g., basic analytics and site security) when those interests are not overridden by your rights.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use a few categories of cookies and similar technologies so the site works smoothly and feels personal where allowed.

• Strictly necessary: enable core functionality, security, and fraud prevention.
• Functional: remember choices such as language or display preferences.
• Performance/analytics: help us understand how the site is used so we can improve it.
• Advertising: support ad delivery, measurement, frequency capping, and (where permitted) personalization.

You can manage preferences via our consent banner and privacy controls in the site footer. If you decline certain categories, related features may be limited. Your browser may also allow blocking or deleting cookies.

Advertising and Measurement

We may work with advertising and measurement providers to deliver and evaluate ads on this site. In regions that require it, we request your consent before using identifiers for personalized ads or advanced measurement.

We do not sell your personal information for money. In some jurisdictions, sharing identifiers for cross-context behavioral ads may be considered “sharing” or a “sale.” Where required, you can opt out using the privacy controls in our footer.

How We Share Information

We share information with service providers that help us operate the site (for example, hosting, security, analytics, advertising, and customer support). These providers may access information only to perform services for us and must protect it as required by contract and law.

We may also share information to comply with law or legal process, protect our rights or users, prevent fraud or abuse, or as part of a business transaction (such as a merger, acquisition, or asset transfer). Where required, we will provide appropriate notice.

Data Retention

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described here, including security, dispute resolution, and legal compliance.

To determine retention, we consider the type of data, why it was collected, legal obligations, and technical constraints. When data is no longer required, we delete or de-identify it.

International Transfers

We may process and store information in countries other than where you live. Those locations may have different data protection rules.

When we transfer personal information internationally, we use safeguards required by applicable law (for example, contractual protections) and take steps to ensure protection consistent with this Policy.

Your Privacy Rights

Regardless of location, you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information (subject to legal exceptions). You may also object to or restrict certain processing and withdraw consent where consent is the legal basis.

EEA/UK residents. You may have rights to access, rectify, erase, restrict or object to processing, and data portability. Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time without affecting prior processing. You may also lodge a complaint with your data protection authority.

Indonesia residents. Under Indonesia’s Personal Data Protection Law, you may have rights to confirmation of processing, access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability (where applicable), objection to automated decision-making, withdrawal of consent, and certain remedies.

California residents. You may have rights to know/access, correct inaccuracies, delete information, opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, and limit the use of sensitive personal information (where applicable). We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights. Where supported, we treat a valid Global Privacy Control signal as an opt-out for the browser/device that sends it.

Your Choices

Cookie preferences. Use the consent banner and privacy controls in our footer to manage cookies and advertising choices. Clearing cookies may reset your preferences.

Global Privacy Control (GPC). Where supported and required by law, we treat a valid GPC signal as a request to opt out of the sale/sharing of personal information for that browser or device.

Communications. If you receive messages from us, you can unsubscribe or adjust preferences using the instructions provided in the message or by contacting us.

Children's Privacy

Our site is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so we can delete it. In some regions, higher age thresholds may apply; where required, we seek verifiable consent from a parent or guardian.

Security

We implement technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information. While no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, we review our safeguards regularly and work to prevent unauthorized access and misuse.

You also play a part in security. Please use strong passwords, keep them confidential, and let us know promptly if you suspect unauthorized activity related to our site.

Do Not Track

Your browser may offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) setting. Because there is no common industry standard for DNT, we do not respond to DNT signals at this time.

Where required, we honor certain opt-out preference signals (such as GPC) for the browser or device that sends them.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, or legal requirements.

If we make material changes, we will provide notice on this page or within the site. The “Last updated” date shows when this Policy was most recently revised.

How to Exercise Your Rights or Contact Us
