All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to Widget Weekly, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.

Search

When you use the search feature on the Site, the text of your query is sent from your browser to our content provider's API (Sanity) in order to return matching articles. We do not require you to identify yourself to use search, and we do not associate search queries with your name or email.

Tracking User Behavior

Widget Weekly may keep track of the pages our users visit within the Site in order to determine which content is the most popular. Where used, this data may be used to deliver customized content. The Site does not currently run third-party advertising or behavioral ad networks.

Automatically Collected Information

Information about your device and software may be automatically collected by our hosting and infrastructure providers. This information can include your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times, and referring website addresses. This information is used for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the Site.

Use of Cookies

The Site may use "cookies" to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your device by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your device, and they are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued them. The Site does not currently set advertising or analytics cookies; should this change, this policy will be updated.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience all interactive features of the Site.

We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of any other site that collects personally identifiable information.

Security of Your Personal Information

Widget Weekly secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. When personal information is transmitted to or from the Site, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Transport Layer Security (TLS/SSL) protocol. We strive to take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or alteration of your personal information. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, you acknowledge that (a) there are security and privacy limitations inherent to the Internet that are beyond our control, and (b) the security, integrity, and privacy of any information exchanged between you and us cannot be guaranteed.

Right to Deletion

Subject to certain exceptions, upon receipt of a verifiable request from you we will delete your personal information from our records and direct any service providers to delete your personal information from their records. Please note that we may not be able to comply with a request to delete your personal information if it is necessary to:

• complete a transaction for which the information was collected, or otherwise perform a contract between you and us;
• detect security incidents or protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity;
• debug to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality;
• exercise free speech or ensure the right of another to exercise their free speech, or exercise another right provided for by law;
• engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest, where deletion may render the research impossible or seriously impair it, and you have provided informed consent;
• enable solely internal uses reasonably aligned with your expectations based on your relationship with us;
• comply with an existing legal obligation; or
• otherwise use your personal information, internally, in a lawful manner compatible with the context in which you provided it.
