Where required, we will request consent before activating nonessential advertising or tracking technologies.

Information may be processed or stored in countries other than the country where a visitor lives, including countries where our hosting, analytics, advertising, email, or security providers operate.

Privacy protections in those countries may differ from those in your jurisdiction.

13. Children’s Privacy

Last Line Stories is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted personal information to us without appropriate permission, contact us so we can review and delete it where required.

Parents and guardians should supervise children’s internet use and discourage them from posting personal information publicly.

14. External Links

The website may contain links to third-party websites, social networks, advertisements, or services.

We are not responsible for the privacy, security, accuracy, or practices of third-party websites. Visiting a third-party service is subject to that service’s own policies and terms.
