Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 22, 2026

This policy explains how information is handled in connection with internetbuttons.org. “We” and “the operator” mean whoever is responsible for publishing Internetbuttons; privacy questions can be sent to [email protected]. Our topics include safety online, so please do not send passwords, account numbers or screenshots that reveal private details.

Opt-out signals and browser tools

You can use your browser to review and remove stored cookies. Doing so may affect some features, and browser settings do not control every method of collection.

When we receive Global Privacy Control or a similar opt-out preference signal, we treat it as an opt-out of sale or sharing where the law requires this. Do Not Track is not recognized in the same way by every service, so it may not change what third parties do.

Correspondence

If you email [email protected] or submit a form if one is available, we will see the details you choose to send, such as a name, address and message. If you report a scam or a problem, describe what happened and hide personal details in anything you attach. Put simply, we use this to reply, check facts, handle corrections and keep a record of the exchange.

Safety of your data

Reasonable safeguards, both technical and organizational, are used to guard information against loss, misuse and unwanted access. Nothing sent over the internet can be guaranteed fully secure, so please avoid sending passwords or financial details by email.

Cookies and similar technologies

Small files and scripts such as cookies are used where enabled to remember preferences, run analytics, display advertising and credit referrals that come through affiliate links. Which of these are active depends on how the site is set up at a given moment.

Other organizations involved

Running the site involves outside providers for hosting, analytics and mail handling, and where enabled, advertising and embedded media. They receive the data needed to do their job, and several operate under policies of their own.

Asking about your data

Where the law of your location provides, you may be able to request a copy, a correction or deletion, opt out of sale, sharing or targeted advertising, and limit certain uses of sensitive data. Send requests to [email protected].

Minors

It is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly collect their personal information. If you suspect a child has submitted details, write to [email protected] and we will look into it and delete what should not be held.

International transfers

On this site, information may be handled by service providers in other countries, which may have different data protection standards. Put simply, where the law requires it, we rely on appropriate safeguards for such transfers.

Updates by email

If an email update is available, your email address is used to send what you asked for. You can leave at any time using the link in a message, and you may also ask us by email; a minimal record may be kept so the request is respected.

Storage time

Information is kept only as long as reasonably needed: messages while they remain useful for follow-up, logs for a short period needed for security and upkeep, and newsletter data until you unsubscribe. A legal requirement can occasionally mean we keep something for longer.

When you browse the site

Whenever you open an article on internetbuttons.org, the servers that deliver it can keep a record of information including your IP address, browser and device type, the page requested, the referring page and the time of the request.

Changes to this policy

At Internetbuttons, changes to this policy may be made occasionally. On this site, the date at the top of the page marks the current version, and for material changes we will give any further notice or ask for consent where the law demands it.
