Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what information BuildStack (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects when you visit buildstack.dev (the “Site”), how we use that information, and the choices you have. We try to keep this short, clear, and honest.

1. Information we collect

We collect a limited amount of information, in two categories:

• Information you give us directly. If you contact us via email or the contact form, we receive whatever you choose to send (such as your name, email address, and the contents of your message). If you subscribe to our newsletter, we receive your email address.
• Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our servers and analytics tools log standard technical information such as your IP address, browser type, referring URL, pages visited, and approximate location (derived from IP address). This data is used to operate and improve the Site.

2. Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

• Strictly necessary cookies required for the Site to function properly (e.g. remembering preferences during your visit). These cannot be disabled.
• Analytics cookies that help us understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve the content and structure. These are aggregated and do not identify you personally.
• Advertising cookies, where applicable, used by third-party ad networks (such as Google AdSense) to show relevant advertisements and measure their effectiveness.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block, delete, or get notified about cookies. If you block all cookies, parts of the Site may not work as intended.

3. Advertising

The Site may display advertisements served by third-party advertising networks, including Google AdSense. These ad networks may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services that may be of interest to you.

For more information on how Google uses data when you use partners’ sites or apps, please visit Google’s policy. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info.

4. Analytics

We use privacy-respecting web analytics to understand which articles are read most, where readers come from, and how the Site performs. Analytics data is processed in aggregate and is not used to identify individual readers.

5. How we use information

We use the information we collect to:

• Operate, maintain, and improve the Site;
• Respond to your inquiries and support requests;
• Send newsletters and updates if you subscribe;
• Detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, security, or technical issues;
• Comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information. We do not share it with third parties except as needed to provide the services described here (for example, our email or hosting providers) or as required by law.

6. Data retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Newsletter subscribers can unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of any email.

7. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your data. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@buildstack.dev. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe.

8. Children

The Site is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take appropriate action.

9. International users

The Site may be accessed from anywhere in the world. By using the Site, you understand that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in countries other than your own, where privacy laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
