This Privacy Policy explains how GoodyTap ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you visit goodytap.com (the "Site"). We have written it to be readable rather than legalistic, and to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Economic Area, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and the disclosure requirements of advertising partners such as Google AdSense.
Information We Collect
GoodyTap does not require you to create an account, sign in, or submit any personal information to read content on the Site. We do not run a newsletter, we do not maintain a user database, and we do not sell or rent personal information to anyone. The only information we directly collect is what is contained in emails you voluntarily send to us, which we use solely to respond to your inquiry.
Like virtually every modern website, our servers automatically log standard request data when you visit a page. This includes your IP address, the date and time of the request, the page you requested, the page that referred you (if any), and the User-Agent string sent by your browser. We retain this data for a short period for security and operational purposes and we do not use it to identify individual visitors.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
The Site itself does not set first-party tracking cookies. However, the third-party services we use (described below) may set cookies and similar identifiers in your browser. You can review and delete cookies through your browser settings at any time, and modern browsers also offer a "Do Not Track" signal that we honour where technically feasible.
Third-Party Services
Google AdSense
We display advertising provided by Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies and device identifiers to serve ads based on your prior visits to this Site or other websites. This is a feature called interest-based advertising. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this and other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
Analytics
We use privacy-respecting traffic analytics to understand which pages are popular and which are not. The analytics provider receives the same standard request data described above and aggregates it into reports. We do not link analytics data with any other identifying information.
Content Delivery Network (CDN)
Static assets such as images, stylesheets, and scripts are served through a content delivery network. The CDN provider may log request data for security and abuse-prevention purposes. We do not have access to identifying information about individual visitors through the CDN.
Children's Privacy
GoodyTap is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the Site (for example, by emailing us), please contact us so we can delete it.
Your Rights Under GDPR (EU and EEA Visitors)
If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of any personal data we hold about you, the right to object to or restrict our processing of that data, the right to data portability, and the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. Because we do not maintain user accounts, in practice the only personal data we hold about you is what you have included in emails you have sent us. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the address below.
Your Rights Under CCPA (California Residents)
If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request deletion of that information, and to opt out of the sale of your personal information. We do not sell personal information. To exercise your rights, please contact us using the address below.
Data Retention
Server access logs are retained for up to 30 days unless required for longer for legal or security reasons. Email correspondence is retained as long as needed to address your inquiry and respond to follow-ups, after which it is deleted.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review the policy periodically.
