Appendix: Plain‑English Privacy Guide and FAQs

This appendix explains what data we may collect, why we collect it, how we use cookies and third‑party services, your rights, and how we protect and retain data—using straightforward language.

A. Why We Collect Certain Data

To keep the site stable and improve performance, we rely on basic diagnostics such as browser type, device type, access times, and error logs. If you submit feedback, we only ask for the minimal information needed (e.g., email, URL, issue description).

B. Cookies and Third‑Party Services

We may use cookies or similar tech to maintain sessions and streamline future visits. Third‑party services (e.g., ads or analytics) may use cookies per their policies for aggregated analysis or ad delivery. You can clear/disable cookies in your browser, which may affect some features.

C. Your Rights

  • Access and correction of your information;
  • Deletion or restriction, where permitted by law;
  • Withdraw consent at any time (without affecting prior lawful processing).

D. Security and Retention

We apply reasonable technical and organizational measures (access control, necessary encryption, least‑privilege access). We retain data for the shortest period needed to meet legal and operational purposes, then delete or anonymize it.

E. Children and Parents

Our services are not intended for children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal data to us, contact us and we will address deletion requests after verification.

F. Contact and Complaints

If you have questions, concerns, or complaints about this policy, contact us via our contact page. We aim to respond within a reasonable timeframe and can provide further escalation options per applicable laws.

Additional Note: Cross‑Border Processing

Depending on your region and routing, third‑party providers (ads/analytics) may process data in their server locations. We ask partners to follow relevant frameworks (e.g., GDPR, CCPA) and include contractual safeguards where feasible. Contact us for more details.

If laws change, we will review and update this note to maintain high standards of transparency and compliance.
