Privacy Policy

At Redlists.org, your privacy is a fundamental priority. This Privacy Policy outlines our practices concerning the collection, use, and protection of information when you visit our educational platform. We are committed to transparency and to safeguarding any information you choose to share with us in the course of accessing our content. This document explains what data we may gather, why we gather it, and your rights regarding that information.

1. Information We Collect

Our data collection is minimal and focused solely on enhancing the functionality of the website and understanding broader user engagement to improve our content. We do not engage in intrusive data harvesting.

The types of information we may collect include:

• Basic Analytics Data: When you browse Redlists.org, our servers and third-party analytics services (like Google Analytics) automatically log standard technical information provided by your browser. This data is aggregated and anonymized where possible, and may include:
  • The pages you visit and the time spent on each.
  • Your browser type and version.
  • Your device type (e.g., desktop, mobile) and operating system.
  • Referring website addresses (the site you visited before coming to ours).
  • General geographic location (e.g., country or city) derived from your IP address, but not your precise location.
• Voluntarily Submitted Information: We collect information that you explicitly and knowingly provide to us. This primarily includes data submitted through our contact forms, such as your name and email address, which is used solely to respond to your inquiries.
• Cookies and Similar Technologies: To provide a seamless and personalized user experience, we use cookies—small text files stored on your device. For a detailed explanation, please see the “Cookies & Advertising” section below.

We expressly do not collect sensitive personal information (such as financial details, government ID numbers, or health data) unless it is voluntarily and knowingly provided by you in a communication, where the context requires it.

2. Cookies & Advertising

Cookies help us make your experience on Redlists.org more efficient and tailored. We use them for the following essential purposes:

• Website Functionality: Essential cookies enable basic features like page navigation and access to secure areas of the site. The website cannot function properly without these cookies.
• Performance and Analytics: Analytical cookies allow us to understand how visitors interact with our website. This data, which is aggregated and anonymous, helps us identify what content is most useful, where improvements can be made, and how users navigate our site, enabling us to enhance its structure and content quality.
• Advertising:Redlists.org displays advertisements through third-party ad networks, primarily Google AdSense. These third-party vendors use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to our website and other sites on the internet. This practice, known as remarketing, allows these networks to show you ads for products or services that may align with your interests.
  • You may see ads for Redlists.org on other websites as part of this network.
  • Third-party vendors’ use of cookies is subject to their own privacy policies, not this one. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of Google AdSense and other advertising networks for detailed information on their practices.

Your Control Over Cookies: You retain full control over cookie settings. You can choose to disable or delete cookies through your individual browser settings. Most browsers offer guidance on how to manage cookies in their “Help” section. Please note that if you choose to disable cookies, some features of Redlists.org may not function as intended, and your user experience may be affected.

3. Data Protection and Use

We uphold strict principles regarding your data:

• We Do Not Sell or Trade Data: We will never sell, rent, trade, or otherwise commercially exploit your personal information.
• Limited Use: The information we collect is used strictly for the purposes outlined in this policy: to operate and maintain our website, to improve our content and user experience, to respond to your inquiries, and for aggregated analytical purposes.
• Data Security: We implement commercially reasonable and appropriate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the information we collect from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. While no online service can guarantee absolute security, we are committed to taking responsible measures to protect your data.
• Third-Party Services: We may employ reputable third-party service providers (for analytics, advertising, and website hosting) to assist in operating our platform. These parties are granted access to information only to perform specific tasks on our behalf under contractual obligations to maintain its confidentiality and security.

4. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, such as the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your data. To exercise these rights, please contact us using the information provided below.

5. Policy Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. We encourage you to review this policy occasionally to stay informed.
