Who we are

This site is operated by Joseph Richard ("we," "us"). Our website address is https://dontgetscammed.site. If you have any questions about this policy, contact us at author@dontgetscammed.site.

Information we collect

We aim to collect as little as possible. Depending on how you use the site, this may include:

• Information you give us — for example, your name and email address if you contact us directly.
• Automatic technical data — like your browser type, device, approximate location, and the pages you visit, collected through standard server logs and cookies.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We and our partners use them to keep the site working properly, understand how it's used, and (where applicable) serve advertising. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings; blocking some cookies may affect how the site functions.

Advertising and Google AdSense

We may display advertising served by Google, including through Google AdSense. To do this:

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
• You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info/choices.
• For more on how Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps, see Google's policy.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site in aggregate, which helps us improve the content. Google Analytics sets cookies and may collect data such as your IP address, browser, device, and the pages you view. You can read more in Google's Privacy Policy, and you can opt out across sites using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

How we use information

We use the information we collect to operate and improve the site, respond to your messages, keep the site secure, and display advertising that helps keep the content free. We do not sell your personal information.

Third-party links

Our chapters link to outside resources such as the FTC and FBI. We're not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites; please review their own policies.

Children's privacy

This site is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example, under the GDPR in Europe or the CCPA in California), you may have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information, or to object to certain processing. To make a request, contact us at the email above.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We'll revise the "last updated" date above when we do, and significant changes will be reflected on this page.
