Privacy Policy

This policy covers thehightechsociety.com and our social pages. It describes the information we handle when you read the site or get in touch, and what we do with it.

What We Collect

Information You Send Us

When you email us or interact with our social pages, we may receive your name, your email address, and anything else you choose to include. We use that information only for the purpose you sent it, for example, replying to you. We do not sell it, we do not share it, and we do not add you to lists you did not ask for.

Analytics Data

Like most sites, we collect standard anonymous analytics: pages visited, time on site, browser and device type, approximate location, and referral source. We use this internally to understand what to write next and how the site performs.

Cookies & Third-Party Services

Cookies are small text files that sites store in your browser. We use third-party services that set their own cookies: analytics services to measure traffic, and advertising and affiliate partners to credit purchases. Some older articles also embed third-party social widgets, such as sharing buttons or comment plugins, which may set cookies and collect usage data under their own privacy policies. We do not control third-party cookies.

Affiliate Links

When you click an affiliate link on our site, the vendor or an affiliate network may set a cookie in your browser so the sale is credited to us. This does not give us access to your personal or payment information. See our affiliate disclosure for how this funds the site.

How We Protect Your Data

The site is served over HTTPS (TLS), which encrypts traffic between your browser and our server. The little personal data we hold, mostly email correspondence, is accessible only to site administrators.

Your Choices

You never need to accept tracking to read the site. You can:

• Block or delete cookies in your browser settings.
• Use your browser’s tracking protection or an ad blocker; the site works fine with one.
• Opt out of Google Analytics with Google’s browser add-on.
• Email us to ask what personal data we hold about you, or to have it deleted.

Children’s Privacy

The High Tech Society is written for adults and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Our parental-control coverage is written for parents and guardians, not for kids.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as the site or the law changes. The date at the top reflects the latest revision, and continued use of the site means you accept the current version.
