Privacy Policy

This page explains what briefpad.net collects, why, and what you can do about it.

About cookies

We set no cookie to follow you. The software behind the site sets one only if you comment or sign in as staff. Cookies from the third parties described below are theirs, not ours.

Amazon and your data

Once you click through to Amazon you are on Amazon’s site under Amazon’s terms. The tag in the link tells them the visit came from here. They send us totals, never details of who bought what.

Analytics

Visit counting may be handled by an analytics provider. What comes back is aggregate — page views and referrers — never a name.

What the server keeps

There is no sign-up, no basket and no checkout here, so there is no customer database. The server keeps the usual access log — page, timestamp, browser, referring page, shortened IP address. Mail you send us is kept so we can answer it.

Control

Blocking cookies costs you nothing here — the pages work without them. If you are covered by the GDPR in the EU or UK, or by California privacy law, you can ask us what we hold about you, ask for it to be corrected, or ask for it to be erased. [email protected] is the address for that.

Younger readers

Nothing here is directed at children, and we do not knowingly gather data about anyone under the age at which consent is required where they live.

If this policy changes

Revisions are published here, replacing what came before. We do not keep old versions on the site.
