Tech News Aggregator ("we", "us", "our") operates the website at dpd.pdecker.com. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices.
1. Information We Collect
Automatically Collected Data
When you visit our site, our web server and infrastructure may automatically collect:
- IP address
- Browser type and version (User-Agent)
- Referring URL
- Pages visited and time spent
- Device type and operating system
This data is collected via standard server access logs and may be stored in Amazon S3 for operational and analytics purposes.
Information You Provide
We do not require account creation or collect personal information such as names or email addresses through this site. If you contact us directly, we may retain your message and email address solely to respond to your inquiry.
2. Cookies and Local Storage
We use browser local storage to remember your theme preference (light/dark color scheme). This data stays entirely in your browser and is never transmitted to our servers.
We do not currently use tracking cookies. If we integrate third-party analytics or advertising in the future, this policy will be updated accordingly.
3. Affiliate Links
Some links on this site may be affiliate links to retailers including Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart. When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.
Affiliate links contain tracking parameters (e.g., Amazon Associate tags) that identify our site as the referral source. The retailer may set their own cookies to track the referral. Please refer to the respective retailer's privacy policy for details on their data practices:
4. How We Use Information
We use collected data to:
- Operate and maintain the website
- Monitor site performance and uptime
- Identify and block abusive traffic or bots
- Analyze aggregate usage patterns to improve the service
- Comply with legal obligations
5. Data Storage and Security
Server logs and cached data may be stored using Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure, including S3 and CloudFront. We use industry-standard security measures to protect stored data, including encryption in transit (HTTPS/TLS).
6. Geographic Access Controls
We may use AWS CloudFront and WAF (Web Application Firewall) to restrict access to certain geographic regions. This is done to reduce bot traffic, manage server costs, and comply with affiliate program geographic requirements. Currently, access is optimized for visitors in North America (United States, Canada, Mexico).
7. Third-Party Services
We may use the following third-party services that have their own privacy practices:
- Amazon Web Services (AWS): Hosting, CDN, and log storage
- Amazon Associates: Affiliate product links
- Best Buy Affiliate Program: Affiliate product links
- Walmart Affiliate Program: Affiliate product links
8. Your Choices
- Theme preference: You can clear your browser's local storage at any time to reset your theme choice.
- Affiliate links: You are never required to click affiliate links. Direct URLs to products are always available.
- Do Not Track: We respect browser Do Not Track signals. When DNT is enabled, we do not engage in cross-site tracking.
9. Children's Privacy
This site 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 personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.
10. Changes to This Policy
