8. Advertising

Voicey may display contextual or personalized advertising and work with advertising, measurement, and technology partners.

We do not sell personal data for money. Sponsored or branded content will be identified in accordance with Voicey’s editorial and commercial standards.

9. Embedded and third-party content

Voicey articles may include content from services such as YouTube, Instagram, X, Spotify, Reddit, or other platforms. These providers may collect information about you, use cookies, or recognize that you visited a Voicey page, even when you do not actively interact with the embed.

Requests concerning the accuracy, privacy, or continued publication of editorial material will be assessed under applicable law and Voicey’s editorial standards. A request concerning personal data does not necessarily require Voicey to remove accurate, lawful, or editorially relevant published material.

No website or data-transmission system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should take care when deciding what information to send online.
