Privacy Policy for thecornerspore.org

Last Updated: June 1, 2025

Welcome to thecornerspore.org! This Privacy Policy describes how thecornerspore.org ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects any information when you visit and use our website.

Given that this domain is primarily for personal use, our approach to data collection is minimal.

1. Information We Collect

Because this website is intended for personal use and does not typically involve user accounts, e-commerce, or extensive interactive features, we generally collect very little to no personal information.

• Information You Voluntarily Provide: If you choose to contact us directly (e.g., via an email link), you may provide us with your name, email address, and the content of your message. This information is used solely to respond to your inquiry.

• Automatically Collected Information (Non-Personal): Like most websites, our web server may automatically collect certain non-personally identifiable information when you visit our site, such as:

  • Your IP address (which may be anonymized).

  • The type of browser and operating system you are using.

  • The pages you visit on our site.

  • The time and date of your visit.

  • The referring website (if any). This information is used for basic website analytics to understand how our site is being used and to improve its functionality, not to identify individual users.

2. How We Use Your Information

Any information we collect is used solely for the following purposes:

• To operate and maintain our website.

• To respond to your inquiries or provide support if you contact us.

• To analyze website usage and improve the user experience (using aggregated, non-personal data).

3. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personally identifiable information to outside parties. This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or serving you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others' rights, property, or safety.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We may use minimal "cookies" or similar technologies. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer's hard drive through your web browser (if you allow) that enables the site's or service provider's systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information.

• Essential Cookies: These are necessary for the website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems.

• Analytics Cookies (Optional): If we use any analytics services (e.g., a self-hosted, privacy-focused analytics tool), these may use cookies to collect anonymous information about how visitors use our site. This information is aggregated and does not personally identify you.

You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies through your browser settings. If you turn cookies off, some features that might make your site experience more efficient may not function properly.

5. Data Security

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of any information that is collected. However, 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 any information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

6. Links to Other Websites

Our website may contain links to other websites of interest. However, once you have used these links to leave our site, you should note that we do not have any control over that other website. Therefore, we cannot be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information which you provide whilst visiting such sites and such sites are not governed by this privacy policy. You should exercise caution and look at the privacy statement applicable to the website in question.

7. Children's Privacy

Our website is not intended for individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under the age of 13 without verifiable parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information.

8. 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.
