Effective Date: 28 April 2025
Last Updated: 28 April 2025
This Privacy Policy describes how The Stork Name Drop ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you use our website, thestorknamedrop.com (the "Service").
1. Information We Collect
We collect information in the following ways:
- Information You Voluntarily Provide: If you choose to contact us via email at thestorknamedrop@gmail.com, you may provide personal information such as your name and email address. We use this information solely to respond to your inquiry or feedback.
- Usage Data (via Google Analytics): We use Google Analytics to understand how our Service is used. This helps us improve the website and user experience. Google Analytics collects data such as pages visited, time spent on pages, browser type, operating system, and approximate location (often derived from IP address, which may be anonymized by Google). This data is typically aggregated and does not directly identify you to us.
2. How We Use Information
- To Respond to Inquiries: Information provided via email is used solely to communicate with you regarding your specific request or feedback.
- To Improve Our Service: Aggregated usage data from Google Analytics helps us understand user behavior, identify popular features, troubleshoot issues, and enhance the overall functionality and content of the Service.
3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Google Analytics uses cookies to collect usage data. Cookies are small text files placed on your device. You can control the use of cookies at the individual browser level. If you reject cookies, you may still use our site, but your ability to use some features may be limited.
For more information on how Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps, please see Google's partner sites policy.
4. Google Analytics and Your Choices
Google's ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to this site is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy.
You can prevent your data from being used by Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
By using our Service, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out above and in Google's policies.
5. Data Retention
We retain email correspondence for as long as necessary to resolve your inquiry or address your feedback.
Usage data collected by Google Analytics is retained according to Google's standard data retention policies, which may vary.
6. Information Sharing
We do not sell or rent your personal information.
We do not share personal information you provide via email with third parties, except as required by law or to respond to your specific request (e.g., if necessary to involve a service provider, though this is unlikely for email inquiries).
Aggregated, non-personally identifiable usage data may be shared with third parties for analysis or reporting purposes, but this data does not identify individual users.
7. Security
We take reasonable administrative and technical steps to protect the limited personal information you may provide via email and the integrity of our website. However, please be aware that no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
8. Links to Other Websites
Our Service may contain links to other websites that are not operated by us (e.g., links to data sources, Google policies). If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.
9. Children's Privacy
Our Service is not intended for use by children under the age of 13 (or a higher age threshold depending on applicable law). We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from children without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information.
10. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
