Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how CalmCompass ("we," "us," "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you visit our website. Please replace placeholder details (domain name, contact email, business address) with your own before publishing.
1. Information we collect
We collect very little information directly. Specifically:
- Contact form submissions: If you contact us, we receive the name, email address, and message you submit.
- Server logs: Our hosting provider may automatically collect standard log data such as IP address, browser type, pages visited, and timestamps.
- Cookies and similar technologies: We and our third-party partners (see below) may use cookies to operate the site, measure traffic, and serve advertising.
2. How we use information
- To respond to messages you send us.
- To understand how the site is used and improve our content.
- To display relevant advertising via Google AdSense.
- To detect and prevent abuse, fraud, or technical problems.
3. Third-party advertising (Google AdSense)
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on this site. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies — including the DART cookie — to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website and other websites on the internet.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and/or other sites.
- You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- You may also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting aboutads.info.
For more information on how Google uses data, see Google's Privacy & Terms.
4. Analytics
We may use privacy-friendly analytics (such as Google Analytics, Plausible, or similar) to understand aggregate, non-identifying patterns of how visitors use the site. If we use Google Analytics, we configure it to anonymise IP addresses where possible.
5. Cookies and your choices
You can control cookies through your browser settings, including blocking or deleting them. Note that disabling cookies may affect site functionality. If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction requiring it, you will be presented with a consent banner allowing you to manage non-essential cookies.
6. Data retention
Contact form messages are retained only as long as needed to respond and for reasonable record-keeping. Server logs are typically retained for a short period by our hosting provider.
7. Your rights
Depending on your jurisdiction (e.g., GDPR in the EU/UK, CCPA in California), you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or object to the processing of personal information we hold about you. Contact us to exercise these rights.
8. Children
This site is not directed at children under 13 (or 16 in some jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top will reflect the most recent revision.
10. Contact
