At Gadget Crunchie, accessible from https://gadgetcrunchie.com, your privacy is one of my main priorities. As a solo developer, I am committed to protecting the personal information you share with me. This Privacy Policy document contains types of information that is collected and recorded by Gadget Crunchie and how I use it.

1. Information I Collect

I may collect the following types of information to provide you with a better experience:

  • Personal Information: This includes your name and email address, which you voluntarily provide when you subscribe to my newsletter, leave a comment, or contact me for web development services.
  • Log Files: Like most websites, Gadget Crunchie follows a standard procedure of using log files. These files log visitors when they visit websites. The information collected includes IP addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamp, and referring/exit pages.
  • Cookies and Web Beacons: I use ‘cookies’ to store information including visitors’ preferences and the pages on the website that the visitor accessed or visited. This helps me optimize the user experience by customizing my web page content.

2. How I Use Your Information

As the sole operator of this site, I use the information I collect in various ways, including to:

  • Provide, operate, and maintain my website.
  • Improve, personalize, and expand the content (including gadget reviews and coding tutorials).
  • Understand and analyze how you use my website.
  • Develop new products, services, features, and functionality.
  • Communicate with you, either directly or through one of my partners, including for customer service or to provide you with updates.

3. Third-Party Privacy Policies

Gadget Crunchie’s Privacy Policy does not apply to other advertisers or websites. I use third-party services that may collect information used to identify you:

  • Google AdSense & Analytics: To show relevant ads and track site performance.

4. Data Security & Retention

I take reasonable technical measures (including SSL encryption and secure hosting on Hostinger) to protect your data. However, please remember that no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

  • Retention: I keep your personal data only as long as necessary to provide you with services or to comply with legal obligations.

5. Your Data Protection Rights (GDPR/CCPA)

I want to make sure you are fully aware of all of your data protection rights. Every user is entitled to the following:

  • The right to access: You have the right to request copies of your personal data.

  • The right to object to processing: You have the right to object to my processing of your personal data.

6. Children’s Information

Another part of my priority is adding protection for children while using the internet. I do not knowingly collect any Personal Identifiable Information from children under the age of 13.
