When you use our website, we may collect different types of information to enhance your user experience and maintain the performance of our platform. This includes both personal and non-personal data. Personal information may consist of your name, email address, or any details you voluntarily provide through forms or communication channels. Non-personal information includes browser type, device information, IP address, pages visited, and the amount of time spent on our website.

The information we collect is primarily used to enhance your interactions with our website. We analyze traffic patterns, understand user behavior, and identify areas for improvement. This helps us maintain a smooth experience for all visitors. Additionally, personal information may be used for customer support, responding to inquiries, or delivering newsletters if you choose to subscribe.

These partners may include analytics companies, security services, or marketing support teams. Any third-party service provider accessing user data is obligated to handle it responsibly and in compliance with this policy.
We may also disclose information if required by law, such as complying with a legal process, responding to government requests, or protecting our rights. This ensures that Hearthstats operates ethically and legally while safeguarding user trust.
Third-Party Links
Our website may include links to external websites not controlled by us. These websites may have their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their practices. We encourage users to review the privacy policies of any third-party websites they visit. Interacting with external links is solely at your discretion, and Hearthstats is not responsible for any issues arising from such interactions.
Data Security
We use appropriate administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your data. Even though no online platform can guarantee complete protection, we continually update and improve our security processes. Our goal is to ensure that user information remains safe from unauthorized access, breaches, or misuse. Your trust is our priority, and Hearthstats remains committed to protecting your privacy to the best of our ability.
