AirFriers.org ("we", "us", "our") operates the website at airfriers.org (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit the Site, how it is used, who it may be shared with, and what rights you have over it. If you do not agree with this policy, please don't use the Site.
Information we collect
Information you give us directly
If you email us, we receive the contents of your message together with the email address you sent it from and any information you choose to include. We use this only to reply to you and to keep a record of the correspondence.
Information collected automatically
When you load a page on the Site, our hosting infrastructure and analytics tools may automatically collect:
- Browser type and version
- Operating system
- IP address (used to derive approximate location and discarded or anonymised before storage)
- Pages visited and the time spent on them
- The referring page or search query that brought you to the Site
- Date and time of the visit
How we use information
- To respond to messages you send us.
- To understand which pages and topics readers find useful, so that we can prioritise updates and new guides.
- To detect and prevent abuse, such as scraping or attempted intrusion.
- To meet legal obligations where they apply to us.
Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies and similar storage techniques (such as localStorage) for three purposes: keeping the Site working, understanding how the Site is used, and supporting the advertising that funds the Site. A separate Cookie Policy describes the categories in detail and the choices you have.
- Essential. Strictly required for the Site to load and behave correctly.
- Analytics. Aggregated, mostly via Google Analytics, to count visits and improve content. IP addresses are anonymised where the tooling supports it.
- Advertising. Used by Google AdSense and its partners to deliver, measure, and (where permitted) personalise ads.
Google AdSense and advertising
The Site uses Google AdSense, an advertising service operated by Google. Google and its third-party vendors use cookies and similar identifiers to serve ads based on your prior visits to this Site and other sites on the internet.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this Site and/or other sites.
- You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- You can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices or youronlinechoices.com in Europe.
- For more information about how Google uses data when you use partners' sites and apps, see Google's policy.
- Information about Google's advertising technologies is at policies.google.com/technologies/ads.
Where required by law, advertising cookies are only set after you give consent through our cookie banner or your browser-level controls. Some ads may continue to appear after you opt out, but they will not be personalised based on your browsing history.
Other third-party services
In addition to Google AdSense, the Site relies on a small number of third-party services. Each has its own privacy policy:
- Google Analytics — page-level usage measurement.
- Google Fonts — web typography. Google Fonts requests may transmit your IP address to Google.
- Hosting and CDN providers — required to deliver the Site and protect it from abuse.
We don't sell or rent personal information to third parties.
How long we keep information
Email correspondence is retained for as long as needed to handle the conversation and reasonable follow-up. Aggregated analytics data is retained according to the defaults of the underlying tool (typically up to 14 months for Google Analytics events). Log data is rotated regularly and not used for individual identification.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights including the right to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, the right to object to certain processing, and the right to data portability. To exercise any of these, email [email protected] from the address concerned and tell us what you'd like done.
If you are in the European Economic Area or the UK
We process personal information under the GDPR (and UK GDPR) on the basis of consent (for advertising and analytics cookies), legitimate interests (for fundamental site operation and abuse prevention), and legal obligation where it applies. You have the right to withdraw consent at any time and to lodge a complaint with your national data-protection authority.
If you are in California
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and CPRA, you can request to know what personal information we have collected about you, ask us to delete it, and opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising. We do not sell personal information for monetary consideration; the use of advertising cookies described above may be considered "sharing" under California law, and you can opt out of it through the controls described in the Cookie Policy.
Children
The Site is not directed at children under 13 (or, in some regions, under 16). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us information, please contact us and we will delete it.
International transfers
Some of the third-party services we rely on are based outside your country of residence and may transfer information internationally. By using the Site you understand that information may be processed in jurisdictions with different data-protection rules.
Links to other sites
Pages on the Site may link to external websites — manufacturer pages, retailer listings, government guidance, and so on. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to read their policies before sharing information with them.
Changes to this policy
When we change this policy, we update the "Last updated" date at the top and note material changes near it. Continuing to use the Site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
Contact
For privacy questions or requests, email [email protected]. For everything else, see the contact page.
Governed by the laws of [Jurisdiction], where the Site operator is based.
