The policy for protecting online privacy clearly outlines the following commitments:

1. No Tracking of Personally Identifiable Information (PII): Neither you nor any third parties will use analytics tools to track or collect PII of website visitors.

2. Anonymity of IP Addresses: Google will not associate IP addresses with other data it holds, and efforts will not be made to link an IP address to a visitor’s identity.

3. No Data Association: Data gathered through the website will not be connected with any PII unless users voluntarily provide such information via website forms.

This policy reassures users that their data is kept anonymous unless they choose to share their information explicitly. It complies with privacy regulations like the GDPR and CCPA by focusing on user consent and data security.

 

The Remarketing Restrictions section of your policy emphasizes user privacy and provides options for opting out of remarketing activities. Here’s a summary of its key elements:

1. Prohibition of PII Collection in Remarketing: The website does not engage in remarketing practices that collect Personally Identifiable Information (PII), ensuring user anonymity is preserved during remarketing efforts.

2. Compliance with Google’s Policies: The website will not create remarketing lists or ad content that targets users in ways deemed “prohibited” by Google, maintaining adherence to Google’s advertising guidelines.

3. Opt-Out Options for Users:
– Users can opt out of Google’s use of cookies through the Ads Preference Manager.
– Users can opt out of third-party cookies through the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.

This policy ensures transparency and control for users over how their online activities might be used for advertising, reinforcing a commitment to respecting their privacy choices.
