Privacy Policy for Neopedia
Neopedia cares about your privacy. This notice explains what information we collect when you visit our website, how we use it, the choices you have, and how to contact us about your privacy.
By using this site, you acknowledge this Privacy Policy. Where required by law, we will ask for your consent before using cookies or processing your data for advertising or analytics.
Who We Are and Scope
Neopedia publishes practical guides on babies, gardening, home improvement, and self improvement. This Privacy Policy applies to pages, features, and forms that we operate under the Neopedia name.
References to "we", "us", or "our" mean Neopedia as the data controller for information collected through this site. References to "you" or "visitor" mean any person who accesses or uses the site.
Information We Collect
We collect information in two ways: information you provide directly to us and information collected automatically when you browse our site.
Information you provide. For example: details you submit through a contact form or feedback message (such as name, email, and the message). If you choose not to provide certain information, some features may be limited.
Information collected automatically. When you visit, our systems and service providers may collect technical data such as IP address, browser and device type, language, approximate location (derived from IP), referring/exit pages, time on page, pages viewed, and general interaction data.
How We Use Your Information
We use your information to operate, protect, and improve the site; respond to inquiries; measure and understand audience engagement; keep our services secure; and, where permitted, deliver and measure advertising.
We may also use aggregated or de-identified data for reporting, trend analysis, and site optimization. We do not attempt to re-identify de-identified information.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage and pixels) help our site remember your preferences, understand performance, and show relevant ads. Where required, we ask for consent before setting non-essential cookies. You can change your cookie choices at any time via your browser settings or the consent banner (where available).
Essential cookies are necessary for core site functions. Non-essential cookies (for analytics or advertising) are used only with an appropriate legal basis, which may include your consent in the EEA/UK/Switzerland and other regions that require it.
Advertising and Analytics
We may work with advertising and analytics partners that use cookies or similar technologies to help deliver ads, measure performance, reduce fraud, and understand usage. These partners may collect or receive limited information from your browser or device for these purposes.
Advertising may be personalized where allowed by law and your settings. In regions that require consent, ads will be personalized only if you have consented. You can opt out of personalized advertising where available through the consent banner or your device/browser choices.
Legal Bases (EEA/UK/Switzerland)
Where the GDPR/UK GDPR/Swiss law applies, we process personal data under one or more of the following legal bases: your consent (for non-essential cookies and personalized ads/analytics where required), our legitimate interests (such as site security, basic audience measurement, and service improvement), performance of a contract (for example, to respond to your requests), and compliance with legal obligations.
You have the right to withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights such as access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, and objection to certain processing. If we rely on consent, you can withdraw it. If we rely on legitimate interests, you may object when your situation justifies it.
Residents of certain U.S. states may have the right to opt out of targeted advertising, the sale or sharing of personal information, and certain forms of profiling. If these rights apply to you, contact us using the options below; we will respond as required by law.
Global Privacy Control (GPC) and Do Not Track
Where legally required, we make reasonable efforts to honor browser-based opt-out signals such as Global Privacy Control (GPC) for sale/sharing or targeted advertising. Traditional "Do Not Track" signals are not standardized and may not be recognized by our site.
You can also manage many advertising choices through the consent banner (where available) and your browser or device settings.
Children's Privacy
Our site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information on our site, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.
Parents and guardians are encouraged to monitor children's online activity and help them understand how to stay safe on the internet.
Log Files and Security
Like most websites, we process server log data (for example, IP address, user-agent, and timestamps) to operate and secure the site, detect abuse, and generate basic metrics. This information is not combined with identifiable data for profiling without a legal basis.
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is fully secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Data Retention
We keep personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including meeting legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Retention periods vary by data type and context (for example, inquiry records may be retained for a period consistent with applicable law and our legitimate interests in record-keeping).
When data is no longer needed, we will delete or de-identify it in a manner consistent with industry standards and applicable law.
International Transfers
We may store or process information in countries other than your own. Where required, we implement appropriate safeguards (such as contractual commitments) to protect your information when it is transferred across borders.
By using the site, you understand that your information may be processed outside your country and subject to the laws of those jurisdictions.
Your Choices
You can manage cookies through your browser settings and, where provided, our on-site consent banner. You may also choose to limit personalized advertising where available. If you disable certain cookies, parts of the site may not function as intended.
If you have submitted information through a form and wish to update or delete it, please contact us using the details below.
