Push Notifications (OneSignal)
We use OneSignal to send browser push notifications about new content, releases, and news. When you first visit our site, your browser may ask whether you wish to allow notifications.
Subscription is entirely voluntary. If you accept, OneSignal assigns your browser a unique push token and stores basic device/browser information (browser type, OS, language, country). No email address is collected for push notifications.
You can unsubscribe at any time by:
— Clicking the notification settings icon on the website;
— Going to your browser settings → Notifications → blocking notifications from realjapanesehiphop.com;
— Contacting us at contact@realjapanesehiphop.com to request deletion of your push token.
OneSignal acts as a data processor. Data may be processed on servers in the United States under Standard Contractual Clauses. Full details: OneSignal Privacy Policy.

We use MailerLite to manage our newsletter. If you choose to subscribe, we collect your email address and, optionally, your first name. This data is used solely to send you our newsletter and related communications.
Legal basis: Your explicit consent at the time of subscription (double opt-in). You may unsubscribe at any time via the link at the bottom of any email, or by contacting us directly. Upon unsubscription, your data will be deleted within 30 days.
MailerLite may automatically collect engagement data such as open rates and link clicks to help us measure campaign performance. This data is aggregated and does not identify you individually in our reporting.

Contextual (non-personalized) ads: Based solely on the content of the page you are viewing, with no use of personal data or cookies for targeting.
Google AdSense may set advertising cookies and collect your IP address and device identifiers. Google acts as an independent data controller for advertising data. Full details: Google Advertising Policies · Google Privacy Policy.
