Privacy Policy for droidcrafts.com
Effective Date: 21 Feb 2025
Welcome to droidcrafts.com Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit and use our website. Because we only use Google AdSense and have configured it for GDPR and CCPA compliance, and do not use any other tracking or cookies, we do not employ a separate CMP plugin.
Information We Collect
We collect the following types of information:
- Log Data: Our web servers automatically collect information about your visit, including your IP address, browser type, referring page, pages visited on our site, timestamps, and operating system. This data is used to analyze website traffic, diagnose technical issues, and prevent abuse. Our hosting provider (Hostinger) and CDN (Cloudflare) may also collect and process this data, and they have their own GDPR compliance measures in place.

- Comments & User Login Data: When you leave a comment on our site, we collect your name and email address, which are stored on our server. Your IP address and browser user agent string are also collected to help with spam detection. Users can comment directly without logging in by filling in their name and email in the comment form.
- Email Notifications: If you leave a comment and opt-in to receive notifications for replies, your email address will be used for this purpose. You can opt-out of these notifications at any time by contacting us.

Cookies and Tracking
We do not use any cookies or other tracking technologies on our website except for those which may be placed by Google AdSense as described below.
- Google AdSense: We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our website. Google AdSense may use cookies or other technologies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to our website or other websites. For information about how Google uses data, please see Google’s Privacy Policy: ADS Settings. You can opt-out of personalized advertising by visiting Ads Settings. We have configured Google AdSense to comply with GDPR and CCPA requirements, including enabling cookie banners for EU and US visitors.
Data Sharing
We do not share your personal information with third parties except as described in this Privacy Policy. We use Google AdSense for advertising. We may disclose your information if required by law, such as to comply with a court order or legal process. Our hosting provider (Hostinger) and CDN (Cloudflare) may also process data as part of their services, and they are responsible for their own GDPR compliance.
Data Retention
We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law. Comment data is retained indefinitely unless you request deletion. Log data is typically retained for 30 days.
Your Data Rights
- GDPR: If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), you have certain data protection rights, including the rights to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and the right to object to processing. Contact us to exercise these rights.
- CCPA: If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to delete your personal information, and the right to opt-out of the sale of your personal information (as defined by the CCPA). Although we do not “sell” your data in the traditional sense, we acknowledge the CCPA’s broad definition of “sale.” To exercise your CCPA rights, please contact us.
Children’s Privacy
Our website is intended for a general audience and does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information.
Security
We take reasonable security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Our hosting provider and CDN also have security measures in place.
