Our Privacy Policies
Email Acquisition
When signing up, you will only receive Speaking Human emails. Speaking Human may review any information provided to us (when applicable), and use that information to improve the content of our website and to notify subscribers about updates to our website (i.e. new articles, podcasts, videos, etc.). We will never make the email addresses or personal information of those who access our site available to other organizations. If you do not want to receive emails from Speaking Human in the future, please enter your email and click the UNSUBSCRIBE button below.
What we see when you visit
Like most websites, we keep an eye on what happens here. We see which pages people visit, how long they stay, where they came from (a search, a social post, an email), and roughly where in the world they’re browsing from. We use this to figure out what’s worth making more of. If you’ve told us who you are, by subscribing, filling out a form or chatting with us, or by clicking a link in one of our emails, we may connect your visits to your email address. That helps us send you things you’ll actually care about, and nothing more sinister than that.
Chat
If you use the chat box, we keep the conversation, along with your name or email if you share them, the page you were on, and basic device and location info. Please don’t share anything sensitive in chat, like passwords or payment details. A real human (or, when we’re away, an automated reply) will answer.
Emails and click tracking
Our emails let us know when they’re opened and which links get clicked. If you’d rather we didn’t, you can unsubscribe at any time, using the button below or the link at the bottom of any email.
Cookies
Speaking Human
Our site uses cookies to provide a customized experience for visitors to the website. For example, when you submit your human opinion on an article, that action is recorded and allows us to show the results of the poll.
Some pages on our site display Google ads. Google will show all Speaking Human visitors in the EEA only non-personalized ads. Non-personalized ads are targeted using contextual information rather than the past behavior of a user. Although these ads don’t use cookies for ads personalization, they do use cookies to allow for frequency capping, aggregated ad reporting, and to combat fraud and abuse.
We also use cookies and similar tools to remember you between visits, so we can keep your chat history together, count visitors accurately, and recognize you if you’ve clicked through from one of our emails. You can block or clear cookies in your browser settings. Our site will still work, but some features, like polls and chat history, may not.
Who sees your information
Only the Speaking Human and MONSTERS Unlimited team, plus the services that help us run things (like our email, chat, analytics and hosting providers). We don’t sell your information or hand it to advertisers.
Your choices
Want to see what we have on you, fix it, or have it deleted? Email us at privacy@speakinghuman.com and we’ll take care of it.
Ad Servers
Speaking Human displays ads from Google. We do not partner with or have special relationships with any other ad server companies. We also do not share personal information with advertisers or sponsors.
Security
Speaking Human has appropriate security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of information that you have provided.
Changes
Speaking Human will post any policy changes and notify you of the changes and provide you with the ability to opt out of these new uses.
