Privacy Policy

• The users’ privacy is very important to us. We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it. (We can’t stand services that ask you for things like your gender or income level for no apparent reason.)
• We do not share or sell users’ personal information to third parties.
• We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of our site.

What personal data we collect and why we collect it

We collect a few user information such as name, e-mail address and website address if only a visitor leave a comment on the site, submit an article for review or contact us through our contact link. In such case we collect the data shown in the form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection or contact purposes.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year. We also use some google services for analytics and monetization. Visitors will also find a few social network services for sharing.

Google AdSense & Analytics

We partner with Google Adsense/Doubleclick to display the advertising that pays for this website. For that to work effectively they will use cookies to store data and access data about your use of this website.

We measure visitors to our website using Google Analytics. This records what pages you view within our site, how you arrived at our site and some basic information about your computer. All of that information is anonymous – so we don’t know who you are; just that somebody visited our site.

The information we collect from analytics helps us understand what parts of our sites are doing well, how people arrive at our site and so on. Like most websites, we use this information to make our website better.

For more details, you can have a look at this page.

Plugin: Smush

Note: Smush does not interact with end users on your website. The only input option Smush has is to a newsletter subscription for site admins only. If you would like to notify your users of this in your privacy policy, you can use the information below.

Smush sends images to the WPMU DEV servers to optimize them for web use. This includes the transfer of EXIF data. The EXIF data will either be stripped or returned as it is. It is not stored on the WPMU DEV servers.

Smush uses the Stackpath Content Delivery Network (CDN). Stackpath may store web log information of site visitors, including IPs, UA, referrer, Location and ISP info of site visitors for 7 days. Files and images served by the CDN may be stored and served from countries other than your own. Stackpath’s privacy policy can be found here.

Smush uses a third-party email service (Drip) to send informational emails to the site administrator. The administrator’s email address is sent to Drip and a cookie is set by the service. Only administrator information is collected by Drip.

Facebook, Twitter, and other social networks

These services provide social buttons and similar features which we use on our website – such as the “Like” and “Tweet” buttons.

Social networks, therefore, could know that you’re viewing this website, if you use their services (that isn’t to say they do, but their policies may change). As our website is remarkably inoffensive, we imagine this is not a concern for most users.

Displaying content from external platforms

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

Contact form

We use Contact From 7 plugin on the contact us page to collect users queries, guest post requests, and advertisement related inquiries. The information collected through to the plugin comes to our email and we use that information only for answering the queries.

Email subscription form

We are using FeedBurner services for email subscription and marketing. We collect the user’s email ID who wants to receive our updates, offers and blog posts. The collected emails are stored on the Google FeedBurner. While we never sell any of the user’s email.
