Who we are
Shahre Farang (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates the website https://shahrefarang.live and related streaming applications on Roku®, Samsung® Smart TV, Chromecast™, and other connected-TV platforms (collectively, the “Service”). Our goal is to provide free, ad-supported access to Persian-language films, series, and live TV channels for viewers in the United States and Canada.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, the visitor’s IP address, and browser user-agent string to help with spam detection.
An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media uploads
If you upload images to the website, please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the site.
Cookies
- Comment cookies – If you leave a comment you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and site in cookies. These exist for your convenience so you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. They expire after 1 year.
- Login cookies – A temporary cookie is set on the login page to determine if your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser. Once you log in, several cookies are set to save your login information and screen-display choices. Login cookies last 2 days; screen-options cookies last 1 year. Selecting “Remember Me” keeps your login active for 2 weeks. Logging out removes these cookies.
- Editor cookies – If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie that includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited is stored in your browser. It expires after 1 day.
Our advertising partners (e.g., Google Ad Manager, Magnite) may also set third-party cookies or use similar technologies such as local storage or device identifiers to serve and measure ads on the Service.
You can control or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect the functionality of this site and our apps.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles or pages on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor had visited the other website directly.
Such websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content—including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Analytics & ads
We use first-party and third-party analytics tools (including Google Analytics 4 and Roku® Audience Marketplace) to understand how users find and use the Service. These services collect information such as your IP address, device type, operating system, general location (city-level), pages viewed, time spent, and other diagnostic data.
Our ad-supported content includes ad tags provided by our advertising partners. Ad partners may collect device identifiers, IP address, approximate location, and information about the ads you view or interact with in order to deliver targeted or contextual advertising and measure campaign performance.
You can opt out of many interest-based advertising networks by visiting https://optout.aboutads.info/ or https://youradchoices.ca/.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email. We may share limited data (e.g., IP addresses or advertising identifiers) with trusted processors such as hosting providers, CDN services, analytics platforms, and ad networks solely to operate and improve the Service.
We do not sell or rent your personal information.
How long we retain your data
- Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely so that we can recognise and approve follow-up comments automatically rather than hold them for moderation.
- For registered users (if any), we store the personal information provided in your user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
- Server logs containing IP addresses are retained for no longer than 26 months.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you, excluding any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
To make such a request, please email privacy@shahrefarang.live.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam-detection service such as Akismet. Data may be processed on servers located in the United States, Canada, or other jurisdictions where our service providers operate, and may therefore be subject to the laws of those jurisdictions.
Children’s privacy
The Service is intended for users aged 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so that we can delete it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page and, where practical, we will notify users by email or in-app notice. Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
