Privacy policy

Effective November 14, 2026

How algomags.com collects, uses and protects personal information.

Scope

This policy covers algomags.com and related AlgoMags domains, and personal information received through them. Client engagements are additionally governed by the data terms in each written agreement.

Information collected

Contact form submissions. The name, website, email address and description entered in the form are sent to AlgoMags and stored with Cloudflare, the hosting provider.
Subscriptions. An email address entered in the subscribe form is stored with Cloudflare and used only to send updates. Removal is available on request or through the unsubscribe link in any message.
Direct email. Any information included in messages sent to AlgoMags.
Technical data. The hosting provider, Cloudflare, processes IP addresses, browser type, requested pages and timestamps to deliver the site and protect it from abuse.
Font delivery. Pages load typefaces from Google Fonts, which receives the visitor’s IP address when the fonts are requested.
Ratings. When a rating is submitted, a one-way hash of the IP address and browser string is stored with the score so each visitor counts once. The hash cannot be reversed into the original address.

The site does not currently use analytics, advertising pixels or session recording. If such tools are added, this policy and the cookie notice will be updated first.

How information is used

To respond to inquiries and provide requested services
To operate, secure and improve the site
To meet legal, accounting and regulatory obligations

Personal information is not used for automated decisions with legal or similarly significant effects.

Personal information is shared only with service providers that support the site and business, such as hosting, email and document providers, under terms that limit their use of it. Information may also be disclosed when required by law or to protect rights and safety. AlgoMags does not sell personal information and does not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Retention

Inquiry and client records are kept only as long as needed for the purposes above or as required by law, then deleted or anonymized. Inquiries that do not lead to an engagement are deleted within 24 months.

Security

Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards protect personal information, including encrypted connections (HTTPS) and access controls. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

Privacy rights

Depending on location, individuals may have the right to access, correct, delete or receive a copy of their personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing. Residents of California and other US states with comprehensive privacy laws, and individuals in the European Economic Area and United Kingdom, can exercise these rights at no cost.

Requests can be sent to derek@algomags.com. Identity may need to be verified before a request is fulfilled. Requests are answered within the time required by applicable law.

Privacy choices

Because AlgoMags does not sell or share personal information for targeted advertising, no opt-out is required. Browser-based Global Privacy Control signals are honored as a request to opt out should that ever change.

Children

The site is not directed to children under 16, and personal information from children is not knowingly collected.

International transfers

Service providers may process information in the United States and other countries. Where required, transfers rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.

Changes

Updates to this policy are posted on this page with a new effective date. Material changes are highlighted on the site.
