Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Yadore Sikimu ("we", "us", "our") operates this educational website to publish informational content about competitor research methods. This Privacy Policy explains what limited information is collected when you visit this site, why it is collected, and what choices you have. This policy is written to comply with applicable United States privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, and with Google Ads program policies for informational websites.

2. Information we collect

We collect information in two ways: information you provide directly, and information collected automatically through standard web technologies.

Information you provide directly includes your name, email address, and message content when you use the contact form on this site. We do not collect payment information because this site does not process transactions.

Information collected automatically may include your browser type, approximate location derived from IP address, pages visited, and referring website, collected through server logs and, if you consent, analytics cookies described in Section 4.

3. How we use information

We use contact form submissions solely to respond to inquiries about the content published on this site. We use aggregated, non-identifying analytics data, where consented to, to understand which pages are useful to visitors and to correct broken links or unclear content. We do not use collected information to build individual user profiles for advertising, and we do not sell personal information to third parties.

4. Cookies and tracking technologies

This site uses a small cookie consent tool that stores your preferences in a cookie named with a site-specific prefix. Categories include strictly necessary cookies, which support core site functions and cannot be disabled, analytics cookies, which help us understand aggregate site usage, and functional cookies, which remember minor preferences such as whether you have already reviewed the cookie panel. You can change your preferences at any time using the cookie icon in the corner of the screen. For more detail, see our separate Cookie Policy.

5. Legal basis and California privacy rights

If you are a California resident, the CCPA grants you the right to know what personal information is collected about you, the right to request deletion of that information, the right to correct inaccurate information, and the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. We do not sell personal information as defined by the CCPA. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in Section 11. We will respond to verifiable requests within the timeframes required by law.

6. Third-party services

This site may use privacy-respecting analytics services and a standard email service to deliver contact form messages. We do not embed third-party advertising trackers on this site. Where an embedded map or similar third-party widget is used, such as on the Contact page, that provider's own privacy practices govern any data collected through that specific widget.

7. Data retention

Contact form messages are retained only as long as needed to address the inquiry, generally no longer than twenty-four months, after which they are deleted or anonymized. Aggregated analytics data, where collected, is retained in a form that does not identify individual visitors.

8. Data security

We apply reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect the limited information we collect. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of any information transmitted to this site.

9. Children's privacy

This site is intended for general audiences interested in website strategy and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13, consistent with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). If we learn that we have inadvertently collected such information, we will delete it promptly.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. The date at the top of this page indicates when it was last revised. Continued use of this site after changes are posted constitutes acknowledgment of the updated policy.
