This Privacy Policy explains how KitsuneGuide ("we", "us", "our") handles information when you visit kitsunefix.com (the "Site"). We aim to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). By using the Site, you agree to the practices described below.
Who we are
KitsuneGuide is a one-person publication producing tech fix and optimization content. We do not sell products, run user accounts, host comments, or take payments on this Site. The Site is purely informational.
What we collect, and why
Cookies
We may place small text files called cookies on your device to make the Site work properly and to understand how visitors use it. Cookies on this Site are non-identifying, non-invasive, and used only for the purposes described in this section. You can delete cookies and configure your browser to block them; if you do, parts of the Site may not work as intended.
Analytics
We may use Cloudflare Web Analytics and/or Google Analytics to understand visitor behavior in aggregate (which pages get visited, how long visitors stay, where they come from). These services collect data such as your IP address, browser type, device type, and pages viewed. We use this data only to improve the Site. The processing of your data by these services is governed by their own privacy policies.
YouTube embeds
Most of our pages embed YouTube videos. When you click play on an embedded video, YouTube and Google receive information about your visit and may set their own cookies, governed by Google's Privacy Policy. If you do not click play, no data is sent to YouTube from the embed.
Server logs
Our hosting provider (Cloudflare) automatically logs basic request information including IP address, timestamp, requested URL, and user agent. This is standard behavior for any web server and is used for security, abuse prevention, and operational reliability.
Email contact
If you email us directly, we receive and store your name, email address, and the contents of your message. We use this information only to respond to you.
What we do not collect
We do not run a comments system, a contact form, a newsletter, or user accounts on this Site. We do not sell or share your personal information with third parties for advertising. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
Third-party links
The Site contains links to other websites, including affiliate links (see Affiliates). Once you leave kitsunefix.com, the privacy practices of those sites apply, and we are not responsible for them. We recommend reviewing their privacy policies.
Your rights
Under GDPR and CCPA you have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information we hold about you. To make a request, email [YOUR_EMAIL]. Note that information collected and stored by third parties (such as Google or Cloudflare) must be requested directly from them.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "last updated" date at the top of this page. Continuing to use the Site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
