Last updated: August 2026. This policy is a starting template. Before launch, replace the bracketed placeholders with your legal details and have it reviewed against the law that applies to you.
This policy explains what WIAD collects when you visit wiad.tech, why, and what control you have over it.
Who runs this site
wiad.tech is operated by [LEGAL ENTITY NAME], [REGISTERED ADDRESS]. For any question about this policy or your personal data, contact [PRIVACY CONTACT EMAIL].
What we collect
Information you give us
If you leave a comment or send us a message, we receive what you submit: typically a name, an email address and the content of your message. Comment data, including the IP address and browser identifier, is retained so that follow-up comments can be recognised automatically.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our hosting infrastructure records standard server logs: IP address, browser and device type, pages requested, referring page and timestamps. These are used for security, abuse prevention and diagnosing faults.
Uploaded images
If you upload an image, avoid including embedded location data. Visitors can download and extract location information from images on a website.
Cookies
We use cookies that are necessary for the site to function, and, where applicable, cookies set by analytics and advertising partners. If you leave a comment you may opt in to storing your name and email in a cookie so you do not have to re-enter them.
You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Some site features may not work correctly if you do.
Advertising and affiliate links
This site is funded by display advertising and affiliate links, as described in our editorial policy.
Advertising partners may set cookies or similar identifiers to measure performance and, depending on your consent and jurisdiction, to personalise the advertising you see. These partners act as independent controllers of the data they collect, under their own privacy policies. [LIST YOUR ADVERTISING AND AFFILIATE PARTNERS HERE ONCE THEY ARE LIVE.]
Analytics
We use analytics to understand which articles are read and how people arrive at the site. [NAME YOUR ANALYTICS PROVIDER AND LINK ITS POLICY.]
Embedded content
Articles may include embedded content such as videos or social posts. Embedded content behaves exactly as if you had visited that other website, which may collect data about you and track your interaction with it.
How long we keep things
Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely so that follow-ups can be recognised and approved automatically. Messages sent to us are kept as long as needed to handle the matter and any follow-up. Server logs are retained on a rolling short-term basis by our host.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, to have it corrected or erased, to object to or restrict its processing, and to receive it in a portable format. If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you also have the right to complain to your national data protection authority.
To exercise any of these, contact [PRIVACY CONTACT EMAIL]. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.
Where your data goes
The site is hosted by Hostinger. Advertising, analytics and email providers may process data outside your country of residence. [CONFIRM YOUR PROVIDERS AND THE SAFEGUARDS THAT APPLY.]
Children
This site is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes materially, we will update the date at the top and, where the change is significant, note it on the site.
