Privacy Policy

How EverydayInfo collects, uses, stores, and protects your personal information. We keep it simple: we collect only what we need, we never sell your data, and you stay in control.

Effective: October 7, 2026 Version 2.1

The short version

We don't sell your data

Your information is never shared with advertisers.

Minimal collection

We collect only what's needed to run the site.

Limited retention

Data is kept only as long as it's useful.

You're in control

Request, correct, or delete your data anytime.

1. Information we collect

We collect information in three ways:

  • Information you give us. When you contact us, submit a correction, or subscribe to updates, we receive your name, email address, and the content of your message.
  • Information we collect automatically. Like most websites, we log basic technical data — IP address, browser type, device, pages visited, and time spent — to understand how the site is used and keep it secure.
  • Information from cookies. Small text files placed on your device help us remember preferences and measure traffic. See section 3 for details.

2. How we use information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Respond to your messages, questions, and correction reports
  • Operate, maintain, and improve the site
  • Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and security issues
  • Understand which articles and tools are most useful
  • Comply with legal obligations

We do not use your information for automated decision-making, profiling, or targeted advertising.

3. Cookies & tracking

We use three types of cookies:

  • Essential cookies. Required for the site to function — for example, keeping you logged in or remembering your cookie preference.
  • Analytics cookies. Help us understand aggregate usage patterns. The data is anonymised and never tied to you personally.
  • Preference cookies. Remember choices you've made, such as display settings or language.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time. Doing so may affect some site features but will not prevent you from reading our content.

4. How we share data

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share limited data only with:

  • Service providers who host our site or process email on our behalf, bound by confidentiality agreements
  • Legal authorities when required by law or to protect the safety of our users
  • Successors in the unlikely event of a merger or acquisition, with advance notice to you

5. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you
  • Correct inaccurate or incomplete information
  • Request deletion of your information
  • Object to or restrict certain processing
  • Request a portable copy of your data
  • Withdraw consent at any time

To exercise any of these rights, email us at privacy@everydayinfo.com. We respond to all requests within 30 days.

6. Data security

We use industry-standard safeguards — encryption in transit (HTTPS), access controls, and regular security reviews — to protect your information. No system is 100% secure, but we take our responsibility seriously and act quickly on any incident.

7. Children's privacy

EverydayInfo is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with data, contact us and we will delete it promptly.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or the law. When we do, we'll update the "Effective" date at the top of this page. For significant changes, we'll notify you by email or with a prominent notice on the site.
