  • Contact details you submit (name, email) when subscribing to newsletters, contacting us, or submitting tips.

  • Profile or comment content you post when leaving comments or participating in community features.

  • Payment information (only if you make a purchase via the Site); payment processing is handled by third-party payment providers and we do not store full payment card data.

Automatically collected information

  • Technical data such as IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, pages visited, referring/exit pages, timestamps and similar log data.

  • Usage and analytics data collected by cookies and similar tracking technologies (see Cookies section).

Third-party information

We use collected information to:

  • Provide, operate and improve the Site and its features.

  • Send newsletters and other communications you sign up for (you may opt out at any time).

  • Respond to inquiries, tips and requests.

  • Moderate comments and protect the Site from abuse and fraud.

  • Analyze usage, measure performance and tailor content and advertising.

  • Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.

We rely on your consent, legitimate business interests (operation, security, analytics), and where applicable, contractual necessity for these purposes.

3. Cookies & tracking technologies

We use cookies, local storage and similar technologies to recognize returning visitors, remember user preferences, measure Site performance and serve relevant ads. Third-party services (for example analytics providers, ad networks and social platforms) may also set cookies when you visit the Site.

Controls:

  • Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. If you disable cookies some Site features may not work.

  • To opt out of certain third-party analytics or advertising tracking, use the vendor opt-out tools (e.g., YourAdChoices) or set preferences in your browser or device.

4. Advertising & third-party services

We may display third-party ads and use third-party ad networks and analytics providers. These parties may collect information about your browsing across sites to provide targeted ads. We do not control third parties’ tracking practices — see their privacy policies for details.

The Site contains links to other sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external websites.

5. Sharing and disclosure

We may share personal information with:

  • Service providers and contractors who perform services on our behalf (email delivery, hosting, analytics, payment processing).

  • Law enforcement or others when required by law, or to protect rights, safety, property, or the Site.

  • Buyers or other parties in connection with a merger, sale, reorganization or asset transfer (we will notify users where required by law).

We do not sell personal information for money. If you are a California resident and believe we have sold your information, contact us as described below.

6. Data retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described (for example: newsletter subscription until you unsubscribe; comments until you delete them or they are removed for policy reasons). Aggregated or anonymized data may be retained indefinitely.

7. Your rights & choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you.

  • Request correction or deletion of your personal information.

  • Object to or restrict processing.

8. Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information. No system is 100% secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security. If a breach affects your data, we will follow applicable breach notification rules.

9. Children

The Site is not intended for children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe we have collected information from a child, contact us and we will promptly delete it.

10. International visitors & transfers
