Privacy Policy

I am committed to providing quality services to my Readers, Staff, and Followers.

This policy outlines my ongoing obligations to you in respect of how I manage your Personal Information.

What is Personal Information and why do I collect it?

Personal Information is information or an opinion that identifies an individual. Examples of Personal Information I collect include names, addresses, email addresses, phone, and mobile numbers. This Personal Information is obtained in many ways including interviews, correspondence, by telephone, by email, via my websites https://www.TalalElAssaad.com/ OR https://www.TheCreedWay.com , from my Social Media, from your website, from media and publications, from other publicly available sources or from cookies and from third parties.

I don’t guarantee website links or policy of authorized third parties.

I collect your Personal Information for the primary purpose of providing my services to you, providing information to my clients and relevant marketing. I may also use your Personal Information for secondary purposes closely related to the primary purpose, in circumstances where you would reasonably expect such use or disclosure. You may unsubscribe from my mailing/marketing lists at any time by contacting me in writing. When I collect Personal Information, I will, where appropriate and where possible, explain to you why I am collecting the information and how I plan to use it.

Cookie policy

I use cookies to personalize content and ads, to provide social media features and to analyze digital and internet traffic. I also share information about your use of my site with our social media, advertising and analytics partners who may combine it with other information that you’ve provided to them or that they’ve collected from your use of their services.

My servers automatically recognize and stores the domain name of visitors to my websites. In addition, my websites use cookies (both first and third party) which may automatically collect information from you such as pages viewed. A cookie is a packet of information stored on your computer that allows my servers to identify and interact more effectively with your computer. I also use cookies for tracking the statistics of my websites which means that I can better understand your needs and interests as well as improve the layout and functionality of my websites. Most web browsers are set by default to accept cookies. It may be possible to set your browser to refuse to accept cookies however, if you do not accept them, you may not be able to experience the full functionality of my websites, products, services, or apps.

I sometimes embed photos and video content from other websites (or from social media) such as Vimeo and YouTube. Pages with this embedded content may present cookies from these websites. Similarly, when you use one of the ‘share’ buttons on my websites, a cookie may be sent by the service you have chosen to share content through. I do not control the dissemination of these cookies; you should check the relevant third-party website for more information about these.

In addition, if you linked to my websites from a third-party website, I am not responsible for the privacy policies and practices of the owners or operators of that third-party website and recommend that you check the policy of that third-party website and contact its owner or operator if you have any concerns or questions. As you navigate through my websites or access and use my products, services and apps, some information may be gathered without you actively providing it by using various technologies such as cookies, internet tags or web beacons and navigational data collection (log files, server logs, and clickstream data). For example, I may collect information about matters including but not limited to the date, time, and duration of visits as well as which pages of my websites, products, services, or apps are most commonly accessed. This information is generally not linked to the identity of visitors, except when accessed via links in an electronic communication I may have sent to you or where I am able to uniquely identify your device or you as a user accessing my websites, my products, services, or apps. I may combine your anonymous or personal visitor session information (or other information collected through tracking technologies) with other personal information collected from you from time to time so that I may understand and measure your online experiences and determine what products, promotions and services are likely to be of interest to you. By accessing my websites, products, services, or apps via links in an email I have sent and/or by accessing our websites, products, services, or apps where you have identified yourself to me, you consent to the collection of such information if it is personal information.

Each time you visit my websites our server collects anonymous information, known as click-stream data, including the type of browser and system you are using, the address of the website you have come from and move to after your visit and the date and time of your visit and your server’s IP address. I may collect this information for statistical purposes to find out how my websites are used and navigated, including the number of hits, the frequency and duration of visits, most popular session times. I may also use this information to evaluate and improve the performance of my websites.
