Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how Add-On Con collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website, add-on-con.com. We are committed to transparency and respect your privacy. This policy applies to all visitors of our informational blog, which does not require registration or store personal data in databases.
Information We Collect
When you visit Add-On Con, we automatically collect certain information through standard web technologies. This includes:
- IP address and browser type
- Pages viewed and time spent on site
- Referring URLs and device information
- Standard server log data
We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any other personally identifiable information unless you voluntarily provide it through a contact form or comment section (which we do not currently enable). All collected data is non-personally identifiable by itself.
How We Use Information
The information we collect is used solely for the following purposes:
- To analyze website traffic and improve user experience
- To understand which content is most valuable to our readers
- To ensure the website functions correctly and securely
- To comply with legal obligations and detect potential fraud
We do not use your data for marketing, profiling, or automated decision-making. No personal data is sold, rented, or shared for commercial purposes beyond what is necessary for service operation.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience. These include:
- Essential cookies: Necessary for site functionality (e.g., session management)
- Analytics cookies: Used by third-party services to understand site usage
- Advertising cookies: Used by ad networks to deliver relevant content (opt-out available)
You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may limit some site features but will not prevent access to content.
Third-Party Services
Add-On Con uses trusted third-party services to operate and improve our website. These include:
- Google Analytics: To analyze traffic patterns and user behavior
- Google AdSense: To serve non-personalized or anonymized ads
- Cloudflare: For security and performance optimization
These providers operate under their own privacy policies. We do not control how they collect or use data, but we ensure they comply with applicable laws. Google Analytics and AdSense anonymize IP addresses by default.
Data Security
We implement industry-standard measures to protect the confidentiality and integrity of the data we handle. This includes secure hosting, encrypted connections (HTTPS), and regular security audits. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security but strive to use reasonable safeguards.
Your Rights
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), California residents have the right to:
- Know what personal information is collected
- Request deletion of personal information
- Opt out of the sale of personal information
- Not be discriminated against for exercising these rights
Since we do not sell personal data and collect only non-identifiable information, these rights largely apply to anonymized usage data. You may contact us to request a copy of your browsing data or to exercise any rights under CCPA. We respond to all requests within 30 days.
Children's Privacy
Add-On Con is intended for users aged 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected data from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete it promptly. Parents or guardians may contact us to request deletion of any such data.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The most current version will always be posted on this page with the Last Updated date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. If material changes are made, we will notify you by posting a prominent notice on our website.
