Privacy & Data Protection Policy

1. Information Collection Architecture

We collect information to provide better services to all our users. Our collection protocols fall into two categories:

• Information you give us: This includes your name and email address when subscribing to our expert newsletters or submitting inquiries via our contact channels.
• Automated Device Information: When you navigate 5BestDigs, we automatically collect data such as IP addresses, browser types, Internet Service Providers (ISP), referring/exit pages, and time stamps. This is synthesized to analyze trends and administer the site.

2. Use of Tracking Technologies (Cookies)

5BestDigs utilizes "Cookies" and similar tracking technologies to enhance user experience and analyze site traffic. We use both session cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them).

Note: You can choose to disable cookies through your individual browser options, though this may impact your ability to interact with certain features of our site.

3. Third-Party Data Dissemination

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your Personally Identifiable Information (PII) to outside parties for their independent marketing purposes. This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website (such as analytics providers like Google Analytics), so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential.

4. California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) Rights

For our users residing in California, you have specific rights under the CCPA:

• Right to Know: You may request a disclosure of the specific pieces of personal information we have collected.
• Right to Delete: You may request the deletion of your personal information collected by us.
• Right to Opt-Out: You have the right to direct a business that sells personal information to stop selling your information.

5. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)

Our platform is designed for a general audience and does not knowingly collect data from children under the age of 13. If we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will delete it from our servers immediately.
