This Privacy Policy explains what information BeginnerStack (beginnerstack.com/) collects when you visit, how we use it, and the choices you have. We keep data collection to the minimum needed to run and improve the site.
Who we are
BeginnerStack is operated by Eluan Dan, who is responsible for your personal information on this site. You can contact us about privacy at [email protected].
Information we collect
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our servers and security providers automatically record technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, the pages you view, the page that referred you, and the date and time of your visit. This is used to deliver the site, keep it secure, and fix problems.
Analytics. We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site, for example, which reviews are most read and how people find us. Google Analytics uses cookies and collects information such as pages visited, time on page, approximate location (country or city level), and device information. We use this only in aggregate to improve our content. [Delete this paragraph if you do not use Google Analytics.]
Information you give us. If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you include in your message. [If you add a contact form, newsletter signup, or comments, list them here, for example: If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address to send it to you, and you can unsubscribe at any time using the link in every email.]
We do not ask for, and do not want, sensitive personal information. We do not knowingly collect payment details; any purchases you make happen on the seller’s own website.
Cookies
Cookies are small files stored in your browser. This site and our service providers may use:
- Essential and security cookies, including cookies set by Cloudflare to protect the site from malicious traffic.
- Analytics cookies set by Google Analytics, as described above. [Delete if you do not use Google Analytics.]
- Affiliate cookies. When you click an affiliate link on our site, the company or affiliate network you are sent to may set a cookie so it can tell that you came from BeginnerStack and credit us if you make a purchase. These cookies are set and controlled by those companies, under their own privacy policies.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may affect how the site works. [If you install a cookie consent tool, add: You can change your cookie choices at any time using the cookie settings link at the bottom of every page.]
How we use your information
- To operate, maintain, and secure the website.
- To understand which content is useful and improve our reviews.
- To reply to messages you send us.
- To comply with legal obligations.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not display third-party advertising on this site.
Legal bases for processing (UK and EU visitors)
If you are in the UK or European Economic Area, we process your information on these legal bases: our legitimate interests in running a secure and useful website; your consent, where required, for example for analytics cookies; and legal obligations where the law requires us to keep or share information. Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time.
Who we share information with
We share information only with service providers that help us run the site, and only as needed for them to provide their services:
- Hostinger, which hosts the website.
- Cloudflare, which delivers the site quickly and protects it from attacks.
- Google, for analytics and search performance data.
- Affiliate programs and networks, which receive click and purchase information when you use an affiliate link.
We may also disclose information if required by law, or to protect the rights and safety of our site and visitors.
International transfers
Our service providers may process information in countries other than your own, including the United States. Where required, these transfers are protected by appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses used by these providers.
How long we keep information
We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes above. Analytics data is retained according to our analytics settings [for example, 14 months]. Emails you send us are kept only as long as needed to handle your request and any follow-up.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- access the personal information we hold about you;
- ask us to correct or delete it;
- object to or restrict how we use it;
- receive a copy of it in a portable format; and
- withdraw consent where we rely on it.
If you live in a US state with a consumer privacy law, such as California, you may also have the right to know what personal information we collect and to request its deletion. We do not sell personal information. To make any request, email [your contact email]. We will respond within the time required by applicable law. If you are in the UK or EU, you also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.
Children’s privacy
This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us at [your contact email] and we will delete it.
Links to other websites
Our reviews link to other websites, including the tools we review. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites, and we encourage you to read their privacy policies.
Security
We use HTTPS encryption across the site and rely on reputable providers with strong security practices. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect the information we hold.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
