Hi! This is our Privacy Policy. It covers the terms and conditions about the information this website (Sleeping.Guide) collects about users and how we use the data.
Please read this privacy policy carefully before using the site – by accessing and using this website, your actions state that you agree to this privacy policy. If you don’t agree with our policy, please don’t use our site.
Personal Information
We do not collect any personal information about you without asking. The only personal information we hold are those of e-mail list signups, where we store the name and e-mail provided, as well as country of the IP address. We collect no other information that could identify you personally (such as your name, e-mail, telephone number, etc.)
Non-Personal Information
Through connecting our site with Google, we do collect information about you that is non-personal. Some examples are:
- Details about your demographic (age, gender, etc.)
- Where you’re connecting to us from
- General connection info (such as time of access, time spent on the site, pages visited, if you’ve connected before, IP address)
- Terms that you searched to find us on Google
Cookies
To display the most relevant advertisements to you, we collect cookies for third party vendors (e.g. Google AdSense, Ezoic) to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to our and other websites. This doesn’t change the amount of advertisements we show, only their relevance to each user.
If you want to opt-out of third-party ad serving, you can set this up by visiting AboutAds.
Collection of Information from Children
This site is not aimed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from children.
If you are under 13 years old, please do not use the site or send us any information. Instead, try a much more fun website called Kongregate – it’s got great free games!
How we use your information
We try to use any of the information we collect to both improve this website, and improve your user experience with us. We will never use your information for anything other than improving our quality.
Some examples of ways we may use your information could be:
- Identifying our biggest demographics, and tailoring our content accordingly
- Reviewing what pages our audience like the most, and trying to replicate that quality on lower-performing pages
- Investigate any suspicious activities that could be a threat to our website (like a lot of connections from what seem like spam or malicious sources, rather than from normal readers)
- Disclosure of Information
As we do not collect personal information, we also do not disclose personal information.
We may disclose non-personal information if we believe it will help us improve the site. For example, getting third-party experts to help us analyse our website data, so that they can provide us with suggestions on how to further improve the website.
Comments and other Public Information
We have included a comment system on our posts, because we want to encourage user participation and discussion. Please remember that these comments are public, so make sure you don’t write anything that you don’t want to be public.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Analytics
As you use this Website, we use automatic data collection technology (Google Analytics) to collect certain information about your device, browsing actions, and patterns. This generally includes information about where you are, how you use our website, and any communications between your computer and this site. Among other things, we will collect data about the type of computer you use, your Internet connection, your IP address, your operating system, and your browser type.
We collect this data for statistical purposes and we don’t collect personal information. The purpose of this data is to improve our Website and offerings.
If you wish to opt out of Google Analytics so that none of your personal information is collected and stored by Google Analytics, you can download and install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on here. For more information on how Google collects and uses your data, you can access the Google Privacy Policy here.
Possible Privacy Policy Changes
As we grow as a website, we may change the privacy policy to reflect new website updates. For example, if we begin collecting e-mails for a newsletter, we will then collect personal information. This page will always provide the most up to date privacy policy information.
There is also the chance that, for whatever reason, the ownership of the site may change. If this does happen, it may also involve the transfer of all information that the website collects, as well as the website itself. While we have personally laid out this privacy policy, we cannot guarantee that the new ownership will follow the same privacy practices. However, this is a long-term ‘labor of love’ for us, and we can’t see ourselves not being the ones who run this website. If a change-over does occur, we will strive to ensure that any new owners follow this privacy policy – and make sure that they care as strongly about transparency, clarity, and overall honest quality as we do.
Correspondence Opt-Out
If for any reason you are receiving correspondence from us that you want to stop, just send me a quick e-mail here and I’ll personally make sure we aren’t sending you anything you don’t want.
Are you a California Resident?
The state’s civil code (Section 1798.83) demands that we disclose any personal information we share with third-parties to any user who requests to know that information. We do not currently share or collect any personal information, but if you want to be sure, shoot me an e-mail at here and I’ll check and clarify for you.
