EverSearher is an online publication. Product names mentioned in articles belong to their respective owners.
2. Information we collect
We collect limited information depending on how you interact with the Site:
2.1 Information you provide voluntarily
If you send email to [email protected], we receive:
- Your email address
- Your name (if included in the message or signature)
- The content of your message and any information you choose to include
- Attachments, only if you send them (we discourage unsolicited attachments)
We do not operate user accounts, comment forms, newsletters, or e-commerce checkout on this Site.
2.2 Automatically collected technical data
When you visit the Site, our hosting and infrastructure providers may automatically process:
- IP address (which may be considered personal data in some jurisdictions)
- Browser type and version
- Operating system
- Referring URL (the page that linked you here)
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent
- Date and time of access
- Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)
This data is collected in server logs for security, abuse prevention, and troubleshooting. We do not combine server logs with email identities for profiling or advertising.
2.3 Cookies and local storage
We use minimal client-side storage. See our Cookie Policy for details. We do not use advertising cookies, social media tracking pixels, or third-party analytics platforms such as Google Analytics on this Site.
3. How we use your information
We use collected information only for legitimate purposes:
- Communication: to read and respond to emails you send us
- Site operation: to deliver pages, images, and static content to your browser
- Security: to detect malicious traffic, spam, or unauthorized access attempts
- Legal compliance: to respond to valid legal requests when required by law
- Improvement: to diagnose broken links, errors, or performance issues (based on aggregated server data, not individual tracking profiles)
We do not use your information for automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects.
4. Legal bases for processing (EEA/UK visitors)
If you are in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, we process personal data on these bases:
- Consent — when you accept the cookie notice or email us voluntarily
- Legitimate interests — operating a secure website, responding to inquiries, and preventing abuse, balanced against your privacy rights
- Legal obligation — when retention or disclosure is required by applicable law
5. How we share information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share data only in these circumstances:
- Service providers: hosting companies and email infrastructure that process data on our behalf under contractual confidentiality obligations
- Legal requirements: if compelled by court order, subpoena, or government request, or to protect rights, safety, or property
We do not embed third-party advertising networks, social widgets, or analytics trackers on this Site.
6. International data transfers
The Site is operated from the United States. If you access the Site from outside the US, your information may be transferred to and processed in the US or other countries where our service providers operate. Those countries may have different data protection laws than your country of residence.
7. Data retention
- Email correspondence: retained as long as needed to respond and for reasonable follow-up, then deleted unless we have a legal reason to keep it longer
- Server logs: typically rotated or deleted within 30–90 days per hosting provider defaults
- Cookie/localStorage consent flag: stored on your device until you clear browser data
8. Security
We use HTTPS where supported by hosting, access controls on server accounts, and routine software updates. No method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights including:
- Access to personal data we hold about you
- Correction of inaccurate data
- Deletion of your data ("right to be forgotten")
- Restriction or objection to certain processing
- Data portability (where applicable)
- Withdrawal of consent (without affecting prior lawful processing)
- Lodging a complaint with a supervisory authority (EEA/UK)
California residents may have additional rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including knowing what categories of data are collected and requesting deletion. We do not sell personal information as defined under California law.
To exercise rights, email [email protected] with "Privacy Request" in the subject line. We may need to verify your identity before responding. We aim to reply within 30 days.
10. Children's privacy
The Site is not directed at children under 16 (or under 13 in the US under COPPA). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child provided us data, contact us and we will delete it promptly.
11. Third-party links
Articles may mention software or concepts without linking to vendors. Policy pages may link to browser help documentation. We are not responsible for privacy practices of external sites you visit on your own.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top will change. Material changes may be noted on the Site homepage. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
