(The Info Hub – theinfohub.online)
Let’s just rip the Band-Aid off: every website you visit quietly scoops up little crumbs of information about you. We’re no exception. The difference is we’re going to tell you exactly what we grab, why we grab it, and what we do (and don’t do) with it—no corporate doublespeak, no 47-line sentences that need a law degree to decode.
1. What we collect
- Basic analytics: your IP address, the browser you’re using, which pages you open, how long you linger, and what link brought you here. That’s it. No name, no phone number, no shoe size.
- Cookies: the tiny text files that remember if you toggled dark mode or hit “reject all” on the cookie banner last week. They sit on your device, not our server.
- If you email us: whatever you decide to put in the message—could be your name, could be a meme, could be nothing. We don’t ask for attachments, but if you send them, they’ll live in our inbox until we delete them.
2. How we collect it
Google Analytics does the heavy lifting on stats. The cookie banner you saw on first visit is powered by a lightweight open-source script; it doesn’t phone home to Silicon Valley. Email lands in a standard mailbox hosted by the same company that runs our domain—no fancy CRM, no data enrichment voodoo.
3. Why we bother
Analytics help us figure out which articles people actually finish reading and which ones make them bounce after three seconds. That tells us to write better stuff instead of wasting your time. Cookies spare you from seeing the same banner on every single page. Email—well, we need a way to answer questions.
4. Who else sees it
- Google: they get the analytics data under their standard terms. We don’t share anything that identifies you personally; they already know plenty.
- Our web host: they store server logs like every host on earth. Logs rotate and auto-delete after a few weeks.
- Nobody else. No advertisers, no data brokers, no “trusted partners” (trust us, we don’t have the budget for partners).
5. Your choices
- Browser settings: you can block third-party cookies, wipe them weekly, or go full incognito. Some site features might act quirky, but nothing will break catastrophically.
- Analytics opt-out: grab Google’s official browser add-on if you want to starve us of traffic numbers. We’ll survive.
- Email: if you want whatever you sent us deleted, just reply with “delete my stuff” and we’ll trash it within a week.
6. How long we keep it
Analytics data stays in Google’s dashboard for 26 months, then auto-purges. Server logs evaporate after 30 days. Emails stick around until we spring-clean the inbox—usually once a year, sometimes sooner if storage gets tight.
7. Security
We run standard HTTPS, keep the CMS updated, and use long passwords plus two-factor on everything. That’s the everyday hygiene stuff. Could a determined hacker get in? Probably—everyone’s a target. But we’re not storing credit-card numbers or medical charts, so there’s no shiny treasure chest to steal.
8. Kids under 13
We don’t target children, don’t market to them, and honestly our content is too boring for most pre-teens. If your child emailed us, let us know and we’ll delete it.
9. Changes to this policy
If we ever add a newsletter, a shop, or anything that collects more than the current crumbs, we’ll update this page and bump the “last changed” date at the bottom. We won’t send you a pushy pop-up unless the change is major—like, “we’re suddenly asking for your address” major.
10. Legal bits
We’re based in India, so Indian law applies. If you’re visiting from the EU, the GDPR gives you rights to access, port, and erase data. Since we don’t hold identifiable data on you, there’s nothing to export, but you can still ask and we’ll confirm we’ve got zilch. For everyone else: you have the right not to be a jerk in your email, and we reserve the right to ignore messages that violate that.
Still awake? If you’ve slogged through 600-plus words of privacy talk, you deserve a medal—or at least a straight answer to any lingering question. Hit us at info@theinfohub.online and a real human (probably in pajamas) will get back to you.
