Last Updated: May 4, 2025

At CyberSafeNow.com, we respect your privacy and are committed to transparency regarding how we collect, use, and store your data. This Data Usage Statement outlines the minimal data we collect, how it’s used, and your rights regarding that data.

1. What Data We Collect

We only collect limited and non-sensitive personal data, and only when voluntarily submitted by users.

Data may include:

Name and email address (only when submitting comments or subscribing to our newsletter)
Technical data such as IP address, browser type, device information, and usage patterns (collected via analytics tools and cookies)

We do not collect passwords, financial information, or any sensitive personal data.

2. How We Collect Data

We collect data through the following methods:

Comment forms (user-submitted name and email)
Newsletter sign-up forms (Mailchimp)
Website analytics (Google Analytics, Cloudflare)

All data collection is passive or opt-in and is never hidden or forced.

3. How We Use Your Data

Your data is used solely for the following purposes:

To respond to user comments
To manage newsletter subscriptions (if you opt in)
To understand site traffic and user behavior (non-personal analytics)
To prevent spam and protect our platform from misuse

We do not use your data for advertising, profiling, or third-party marketing.

4. Data Storage and Protection

We use secure systems and industry-standard practices to safeguard any data we collect. Email data is stored securely through Mailchimp, and analytics data is handled via Google Analytics and Cloudflare, both of which are GDPR-compliant services.

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share your data with any third parties unless required by law.

Limited data may be accessible to trusted services (like Mailchimp or Google Analytics) only to provide essential functionality.

6. Your Rights

You have the right to:

Request access to any personal data we may hold about you
Ask for correction or deletion of your data
Withdraw your consent at any time (unsubscribe, request deletion)
File a complaint with your local data protection authority
