You can control cookies through your browser settings at any time. For full details, see our Cookie Policy.

4. Google Analytics

KScoop uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site. Google Analytics collects data such as page views, session duration, and traffic sources. This data is aggregated and anonymous — we cannot identify individual users from it.

Google may use this data in accordance with its own privacy policy. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

These third parties have their own privacy policies and may collect data independently when you interact with their content. KScoop is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party services.

6. Data Retention

We retain contact form submissions for as long as necessary to respond to your enquiry and for record-keeping purposes. Analytics data is retained in accordance with Google Analytics default retention settings (up to 26 months).

We do not store any sensitive personal data beyond what is necessary to operate the site.

7. Children's Privacy

KScoop is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected information from a child under 13, we will delete it promptly.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at kscoopofficial@gmail.com.

  • The right to request correction of inaccurate data
  • The right to request deletion of your data

9. Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect the information we collect from loss, misuse, and unauthorised access. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We recommend that you do not share sensitive personal information through our contact form or any online platform.
