1. Information we collect
- Information you give us – for example your email address when you subscribe to our newsletter, your name and email when you contact us, and account details and files if you register to upload hooks.
- Information collected automatically – such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, referring URL and time spent on pages, collected through cookies and similar technologies.

3. Google AdSense and advertising
We use Google AdSense to display ads. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this website or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info. For more information, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
Other third-party ad servers or ad networks may also use cookies, JavaScript or web beacons in their ads. We have no access to or control over these cookies. Please consult those third parties’ privacy policies for details.
4. Analytics
We use Google Analytics through Google Site Kit to understand how visitors use our site. Google Analytics collects information such as pages visited and how long you stayed, which we see only as aggregated reports. You can opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
5. Cookies
We use essential, analytics, functional and advertising cookies. You can control cookies through your browser settings. For details, read our Cookie Policy.
6. Sharing your information
We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with service providers that help us run the website (such as our hosting provider Hostinger, our email newsletter service, Google Analytics and Google AdSense), when required by law, or to protect our rights and the safety of our users.
7. Data retention
We keep personal information only for as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. Newsletter subscribers are removed when they unsubscribe.
8. Your rights (GDPR and CCPA)
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or export your personal data, to object to or restrict processing, and to withdraw consent at any time. Residents of the EEA, UK and Switzerland can lodge a complaint with their local data protection authority. California residents have the right to know what personal information is collected and to request its deletion; we do not sell personal information. To exercise any of these rights, email us at the address below.
9. Children’s privacy
Our website is not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 in the EEA), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
10. Third-party links
Our site may link to other websites, such as video platforms and clip sources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites.
11. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, but no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date.
