Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Findory ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website. We are committed to being transparent about what we collect and why, and to giving you meaningful control over your data.

Information we collect

We collect two broad categories of information. The first is information you provide directly - for example, when you fill in our contact form, email us, or sign up for our admin account. This typically includes your name and email address. The second is information collected automatically when you browse the site, including your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and the time spent on each page. This automatic collection happens through cookies and similar technologies described in our Cookie Policy.

How we use your information

We use the information we collect to operate and improve the website, to respond to your messages, to analyse traffic and content performance, and to detect or prevent fraud and abuse. Where you have given consent - for example, by accepting advertising cookies - we also use your information to measure the effectiveness of advertising and to show you more relevant content. We never sell your personal information to third parties.

Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies to keep you signed in, to remember your preferences, and to measure traffic. We also use third-party cookies from Google Analytics and Google AdSense, where you have consented to them. You can manage your cookie preferences at any time through our Cookie Policy page or through your browser settings.

Affiliate links

Some links on this site are affiliate links, primarily through the Amazon Associates program. When you click one of these links and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. The vendor may set cookies on your browser to track the referral. Please see our Affiliate Disclosure for more information.

Data retention

We retain personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes described in this policy or as required by law. Contact form submissions are typically retained for up to 24 months. Analytics data is retained in aggregate form for as long as the site is in operation.

Your rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal information. You may also have the right to object to certain processing activities or to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@findory.site.

Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information, including the use of HTTPS, secure session handling, Google OAuth for admin access, and input validation across all forms. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children's privacy

Our website is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have collected information from a child, please contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be highlighted on the homepage or communicated to you directly if we have your email address.
