This Privacy Policy explains what information DailyShock (“we”, “us”) collects when you visit our website, how we use it and the choices you have.

Information we collect

  • Messages: if you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you include in your message.
  • Technical data: like most websites, our hosting provider (Vercel) automatically logs technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited and the time of your visit.
  • Cookies and similar technologies: our advertising partners, including Google, may set cookies or use similar technologies on your device, as described below.

We do not require accounts, we do not run comments or a newsletter, and we do not ask for or knowingly collect sensitive personal information. Site search runs entirely in your browser; your searches are not sent to us.

How we use information

  • To run, secure and improve the website.
  • To reply to your messages, tips and correction requests.
  • To show advertising that keeps the site free to read.
  • To meet legal obligations.

Advertising and cookies

We use Google AdSense to show ads on DailyShock.

  • Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or 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’s Ads Settings.
  • You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info or, in Europe, at www.youronlinechoices.eu.

To learn more, see how Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.

If you do not opt out, you may still see ads, but they will not be personalized based on your browsing. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though some features of the site may then work differently.

We use a consent management platform certified by Google. Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland are asked for consent before personalized ads or cookies are used, and visitors in US states with privacy laws are offered a choice to opt out of the sale or sharing of their personal information for targeted advertising. You can change your choice at any time using the privacy and cookie settings link shown on the site.

Sharing of information

We do not sell personal information we collect directly, such as the email address you use to contact us. We share information only with service providers that help us run the site, such as our hosting provider and advertising partners, and only as needed for those services, or when required by law.

Data retention

We keep messages for as long as needed to respond and keep a record of corrections. Server logs are kept for a limited time for security and troubleshooting.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, including under the EU and UK GDPR and US state privacy laws such as California’s, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you.
  • Correct or delete it.
  • Object to or restrict certain processing, or withdraw consent.
  • Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for targeted advertising.

To make a request, contact us through our Contact page. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights. You may also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.

Children’s privacy

DailyShock is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us through our Contact page and we will delete it.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

International visitors

Our service providers may process information in countries other than your own, including the United States.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it was last changed.
