Privacy policy

1. Introduction

Apple Magic Blog ('we', 'our') respects your privacy. This policy explains what we collect, why we collect it and the choices you have. It applies to applemagic.blog, our official store at applemagicstore.tech and any related services.

As a company headquartered in Douala, Cameroon, we comply with Cameroon's national legal framework, including Law No. 2010/013 of 21 December 2010 on the protection of personal data, Law No. 2010/012 of 21 December 2010 relating to cybersecurity and the fight against cybercrime in Cameroon, and the guidance of Cameroon's National Agency for Information and Communication Technologies (ANTIC) and the National Commission for the Protection of Personal Data (CONPIL).

We also comply with the applicable data-protection frameworks of every market we serve, including Nigeria's NDPR, Kenya's Data Protection Act, South Africa's POPIA and Ghana's Data Protection Act.

2. What we collect

We collect only what is needed to operate the service:

• Identity data: the name and email you provide when you subscribe, comment or contact us
• Technical data: IP address, browser type, device and basic usage logs
• Engagement data: the pages you read and how you interact with them, used in aggregate

3. How we use your data

We use your data only for these purposes:

• To deliver our newsletter and personalised updates you asked for
• To moderate comments and keep the community safe
• To improve our content and editorial relevance
• To respond to questions and support requests

4. Cookies and analytics

We use privacy-respecting, aggregated analytics to understand which articles help readers most. We anonymise IP addresses and do not build cross-site advertising profiles of our readers.

You can disable cookies in your browser at any time without losing access to our content.

5. Sharing and third parties

We never sell personal information. We share data only with trusted processors that help us operate (hosting, email, analytics) and only to the extent necessary. When you buy through an affiliate link, the retailer may set their own cookies under their privacy policy.

6. Data retention

We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purpose it was collected, or as required by law. Comments and subscriptions are retained until you ask us to remove them.

7. Your rights

Depending on your location you may have the right to access, correct or delete your personal data, to withdraw consent, and to object to certain processing.

• Right of access and rectification
• Right to erasure ('right to be forgotten')
• Right to data portability
• Right to lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority

8. Security

We use encryption in transit, least-privilege access controls and routine monitoring to protect your data. No system is perfectly secure, but we work hard to keep yours safe.

9. Your rights in Cameroon

If you are in Cameroon, you benefit from the protections of Law No. 2010/013 on the protection of personal data. You may contact the National Commission for the Protection of Personal Data (CONPIL) to lodge a complaint if you believe your data has been processed unlawfully.

Because our headquarters is in Douala, Cameroon also governs the processing of your data; you always retain the right to access, rectify, erase or object to the processing of your personal data, and to withdraw consent at any time.

• Right to lodge a complaint with CONPIL (Commission Nationale de Protection des Données à Caractère Personnel)
• Right to file a complaint with ANTIC for issues relating to cybersecurity and cybercrime
• Right to access, rectify, erase and portability as described in this policy
