Privacy Policy

What is personal information?

“Personal Information” refers to any information or opinion that identifies an individual, either directly (for example, your name) or indirectly (for example, certain data collected through cookies).

Since The Techy Side is primarily a read-only website, we do not actively collect identifiable personal data beyond what is automatically gathered as part of your visit to the website.

What personal information do we collect?

The personal information that may be collected includes data that is automatically gathered when you visit our website, such as:

• Your IP address
• Browser type and version
• Date and time of your visit
• Pages you accessed and links you followed
• Information about your device, such as operating system
• Cookies (see the Online Activity section below)

Cookies are small data files stored on your device that help us provide a better user experience on the website.

Cookies and online activity

At The Techy Side, we use cookies to optimise your browsing experience. Cookies help us analyse website traffic and improve functionality but do not identify you personally. Below are the types of cookies we may use:

• Essential cookies: necessary for the functionality of the website.

You can manage or block cookies by adjusting your browser settings. However, please note that some website features may not work correctly if cookies are disabled.

Our website does not use cookies for personalised advertising or behavioural tracking beyond aggregated metrics for improving the user experience.

How we use your personal information

The Techy Side uses personal data collected from cookies and online interactions for the following purposes:

• To monitor and analyse website traffic for performance improvement

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.

Third-party services and links

Our website may include links to third-party websites or use embedded features such as content from social media sites or analytics tools. These third parties may collect and use your personal information in accordance with their own privacy policies. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any third-party websites you interact with. The Techy Side is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party websites.

How we store and protect your personal information

While The Techy Side does not actively collect personal information such as your name or contact details, we ensure that any automatically collected data (for example, cookies or analytics) is handled securely.
