Privacy Policy

1. Scope and Acceptance

This Privacy Policy applies when you browse our articles, reviews, digital guides, blueprints, recommendation pages, or other content; submit a form; subscribe to communications; click an advertising or affiliate link; or otherwise interact with the Service. By using the Service, you acknowledge the practices described in this Policy. Our Terms and Conditions are available at this page.

2. Information We Collect

Information you provide

We may collect information you voluntarily provide, including your name, email address, message content, subject selections, communication preferences, survey responses, and any other information you submit through a contact form or email. Please do not submit sensitive personal information through our forms.

Information collected automatically

When you use the Service, we and our service providers may automatically collect technical and usage information such as your Internet Protocol address, browser and device type, operating system, language settings, referring and exit pages, approximate location derived from an IP address, dates and times of access, pages viewed, links clicked, campaign parameters, click identifiers, and information about how you interact with content.

Information from partners

Advertising platforms, analytics providers, affiliate networks, merchants, hosting providers, and other partners may provide us with aggregated or event-level information relating to ad delivery, referral sources, clicks, conversions, purchases, refunds, or other campaign performance. We generally do not receive complete payment-card details from third-party merchants.

3. Cookies, Pixels, Postbacks, and Similar Technologies

We and our partners may use cookies, web beacons, tags, scripts, software development kits, local storage, tracking pixels, conversion APIs, and similar technologies to operate the Service, remember preferences, understand traffic, prevent fraud, measure advertising, and attribute actions to a referral source.

We may also use server-to-server postbacks or conversion reporting. These systems can transmit a click ID, campaign ID, transaction status, conversion event, timestamp, order value, or similar attribution data between a merchant, affiliate network, tracking provider, advertising platform, and our systems. Postbacks are commonly used to measure whether a referral resulted in a defined action and to optimize advertising. Depending on configuration, these records may be associated with device, browser, or campaign identifiers.

You may control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies or related technologies may affect page functions and may prevent us or our partners from correctly attributing a referral. Where applicable law recognizes a browser-based universal opt-out signal, we will treat a legally valid and technically detectable signal as required by that law.

4. How We Use Information

• To provide, maintain, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the Service.
• To respond to questions, requests, feedback, rights requests, and other communications.
• To understand readership, content performance, and how visitors navigate the Site.
• To personalize or organize content and recommendations.
• To deliver, measure, attribute, and optimize advertising and affiliate campaigns.
• To detect invalid traffic, abuse, fraud, security incidents, and technical problems.
• To comply with legal obligations, enforce our agreements, and protect rights and safety.
• To send newsletters or promotional messages when you request or consent to them, with an unsubscribe option in commercial emails.

5. How We Disclose Information

We may disclose information to hosting, analytics, email, security, form-processing, customer-support, advertising, attribution, and tracking service providers that perform services for us; to affiliate networks and merchants when needed to attribute referrals, confirm conversions, administer commissions, or address support issues; to professional advisers; and to authorities or other parties when reasonably necessary to comply with law, protect rights, prevent harm, investigate fraud, or enforce agreements.

We may disclose aggregated or de-identified information that is not reasonably capable of identifying you. We may also transfer information as part of a merger, financing, acquisition, reorganization, asset sale, or similar business transaction.

6. Advertising, Affiliate Links, and Third-Party Sites

The Service may contain advertising, sponsored content, and affiliate links. Advertising and affiliate partners may use their own cookies or tracking technologies and may collect information under their own privacy policies. When you leave our Site, the destination website’s terms and privacy practices apply. We do not control third-party websites or their data practices.

We do not sell personal information for money. However, some advertising, analytics, or affiliate activities may be considered a “sale,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising under certain privacy laws. Where applicable, you may request to opt out by contacting us as described below.

7. Data Retention and Security

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including operational, attribution, security, tax, accounting, dispute-resolution, and legal purposes. Retention periods vary according to the data type, source, contractual requirements, and applicable law.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information. No internet transmission, storage system, or security measure is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Your Choices and Privacy Rights

You may unsubscribe from promotional emails by using the unsubscribe instructions included in the message. You may also adjust browser controls, delete stored cookies, or use available platform privacy settings.

Depending on your place of residence and whether a particular law applies to our processing, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or a copy of certain personal information; to opt out of certain sales, sharing, targeted advertising, or profiling; to limit certain uses of sensitive information; and to appeal a denied request. We may need to confirm that the person submitting a request is the individual to whom the relevant information relates, and we may deny or limit a request where permitted by law. We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising an applicable privacy right.

Authorized agents may submit requests where allowed by law, subject to verification of their authority and the consumer’s identity. To submit a request, email contact@offgriddispatch.com with the subject “Privacy Request” and describe the right you wish to exercise.

9. Children’s Privacy

The Service is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us so that we can review and, where appropriate, delete it.

10. International Visitors

Off-Grid Dispatch operates from the United States. If you access the Service from another country, information may be processed in the United States or other locations where our providers operate. Those locations may have data-protection rules different from those in your country.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, services, or legal obligations. We will post the revised version on this page and update the “Last updated” date. Your continued use of the Service after a revision signifies acknowledgment of the revised Policy.
