The Info We Collect (and Why)
There are two main types of information we might collect:
Personal Information:
This is stuff you give us directly, like your name, email address, phone number, or city. We only collect this with your permission, for example, when you sign up for our newsletter or leave a comment.
Why do we want this info? Well, it helps us:
- Personalize your experience: We might use your email to send you cool avatar-related content you’ll enjoy.
- Improve the site: Understanding your interests helps us create even better content for you and future visitors.
- Respond to your requests: If you have a question or need help, your info helps us get back to you quickly.
But here’s the deal: providing this information is completely voluntary. You can still browse the site without giving us anything.
Non-Personal Information
This is the anonymous stuff that gets collected behind the scenes, like your browser type, network information, and how you navigate the site. It doesn’t identify you as a specific person.
We use this anonymized data to:
- See how the site is doing: Understanding user behavior helps us improve the site’s functionality and user experience.
- Track trends: We can see what kind of content resonates with you, so we can create more of what you love!
Cookies: The Tiny Trackers (But Not in a Creepy Way)
Cookies are small files that websites store on your device to remember things like your login information or browsing preferences. They’re pretty standard across the web.
Here at AvatarMantra, we use cookies for two reasons:
- To remember you: If you’re a registered user, cookies can save you the hassle of logging in every time you visit.
- To understand user behavior (anonymously): Just like the non-personal information mentioned earlier, cookies help us see how people interact with the site.
Third-Party Ads: We Partner, But Don’t Sell Out
Sometimes, you might see ads on AvatarMantra. We work with reputable advertising networks to bring you relevant content, but we never sell your personal information to them.
Here’s the thing: once you click on an ad, you’re leaving our world and entering the advertiser. Their privacy policy applies at that point, so be sure to check it out before you engage with their content.
