Introduction

Welcome to gugugagapenguin.com ("we," "us," "our," or "Site"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a positive experience on our website. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our Site.

What Data We Collect

gugugagapenguin.com is primarily a static website with no user accounts, login system, or public comment area. However, data may be collected by us or by third-party services when you browse the Site, subscribe to our newsletter, or click outbound and affiliate links.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our Site. This collects: your IP address (anonymized), browser type, operating system, pages visited, time spent on pages, referral sources, and approximate location (country/city level). This data helps us improve content and user experience.

Beehiiv Newsletter Forms

Some pages embed a Beehiiv newsletter signup form. If you enter your email address or other information into that form, Beehiiv processes that information to manage subscriptions, confirm signups, and deliver emails. We recommend reviewing Beehiiv's own privacy terms before subscribing.

Google AdSense (Site Connection / Future Use)

We have prepared the Site for Google AdSense review and may enable Google AdSense in the future. At the time of this policy, the Site is not serving Google AdSense display ads by default. If AdSense ads are enabled later, Google may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver and measure ads, subject to applicable legal and platform requirements.

Adsterra (Advertising)

We use Adsterra to display advertisements on this site. Adsterra may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your interests and browsing behavior. Adsterra collects non-personally identifiable information such as browser type, device type, approximate location, and pages visited to deliver relevant advertisements.

When you purchase our AI prompts through Gumroad, Gumroad collects payment information (card details, email, name) and transaction data. We do not directly receive or store this personal information. See Gumroad's privacy policy for details on how they handle your data.

Affiliate & Partner Programs

When you click an active affiliate or partner link and make a purchase, the relevant provider may collect browsing and purchase information to track referrals and calculate commission. This may include programs such as HitPaw, Amazon, Gumroad, or future partners. See each provider's privacy policy for details.
