Privacy Policy

Last Updated: December 3, 2025

PrivyShield (“we,” “our,” or “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to collecting as little information as necessary to operate our website and provide a secure and user-friendly experience.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the rights available to you under GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and other applicable laws.

1. Information We Collect

A. Information You Knowingly Provide

You may provide personal information when you:

• Contact us via email or a contact form

• Subscribe to a newsletter

• Create an account (if applicable)

• Purchase a service (if applicable)

This may include:

• Name

• Email address

• Payment details (processed securely by third-party providers)

• Any information voluntarily submitted in communications

B. Website Use Information (Cookies & Logs)

Like most websites, PrivyShield.com uses cookies and server logs to understand website performance, detect issues, and improve the user experience.

This may include:

• IP address (may be anonymized depending on region)

• Browser type

• Pages viewed

• Time spent on the site

• Date and time of visits

Cookies do not give us access to personal information unless you choose to provide it.

You may disable cookies at any time through your browser settings.

2. Use of Google AdSense and Third-Party Advertising

PrivyShield uses Google AdSense to display ads on our website.
To do this, Google and its partners may use cookies or device identifiers to:

• Show personalized ads

• Show non-personalized ads

• Provide ad measurement

• Prevent fraud and abuse

Google’s Use of Data

Google may collect and process data as described in Google’s Privacy & Terms:
https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

Third-Party Vendors

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to:

• Serve ads based on your previous visits

• Measure ad effectiveness

• Limit how often an ad is shown

Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting:
https://www.google.com/settings/ads

3. European Union (EU/EEA/UK) User Consent Requirements

For visitors in the European Economic Area (EEA), UK, and Switzerland, we use a Google-certified Consent Management Platform (CMP) to collect and store legally required consent signals.

You may see options such as:

• Consent

• Do Not Consent

• Manage Preferences

Your consent choices determine:

• Whether personalized ads may be shown

• Whether analytics and advertising cookies are loaded

• Whether ad partners may receive data

We comply with the ePrivacy Directive, GDPR, and IAB Transparency & Consent Framework (TCF) where required.

4. Consent Mode

PrivyShield uses Google Consent Mode.
This allows Google products (such as AdSense and optional analytics tools) to adjust behavior based on your consent selection.

For example:

• If you do not consent to ad storage, Google will deliver non-personalized ads.

• If you decline analytics storage, measurement tools will operate in a privacy-preserving mode or remain disabled.

Consent Mode does not override your privacy settings.

5. Analytics

PrivyShield may use privacy-focused analytics tools (or Google Analytics with Consent Mode, if enabled) that are GDPR-compliant and designed to minimize data collection.

Analytics data helps us:

• Improve website performance

• Understand content engagement

• Detect issues and maintain security

Analytics tools do not track personally identifiable information unless you have explicitly provided it.

6. How We Use Information

We use information solely to:

• Operate and improve our website

• Respond to inquiries

• Provide newsletters or services you request

• Maintain website security and detect fraud

• Display and measure advertising (AdSense)

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

7. Your Rights Under GDPR

If you are located in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, you have the right to:

• Access your personal data

• Correct inaccurate data

• Request deletion

• Restrict or object to processing

• Withdraw consent at any time

• Request a copy of your data

To exercise your rights, email us at:

8. Your Rights Under California Law (CCPA/CPRA)

California residents have the right to:

• Know what personal information we collect

• Request deletion

• Correct inaccurate information

• Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal data

PrivyShield does not sell or share personal data under CCPA definitions.

Requests may be submitted to:

9. Information Security

We take reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect your data.
However, no online method is 100% secure.
Please avoid sending sensitive information by email.

10. Links to Third-Party Websites

PrivyShield may link to external websites.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party sites and encourage you to review their policies.

11. Legal Disclosure

We may disclose information:

• To comply with a legal obligation

• To protect our rights or property

• To investigate misuse, fraud, or security issues

• To ensure the safety of users
