TakeFortuneCookie Privacy Policy
Effective date: November 10, 2025
We respect your privacy. This policy explains what information we may collect when you use TakeFortuneCookie (the "Service"), how we use it, and the rights and choices you have.
Information we collect
- Basic usage data. When you visit, our servers may automatically log standard information such as IP address, device type, browser, and pages viewed (typical web server logs).
- Cookies & local storage. We may use essential cookies to make the site work (e.g., remembering simple preferences). Optional cookies may be used for analytics if enabled.
- Voluntary information. If you contact us (e.g., by email), we'll receive the information you provide.
How we use information
- Operate, maintain, and improve the Service.
- Understand aggregate usage to keep things fast and reliable.
- Respond to messages and support requests.
- Protect the Service against fraud, abuse, or misuse.
Cookies & analytics
We use essential cookies that are necessary for the site to function. If analytics are enabled, we may use privacy-friendly analytics to understand aggregate traffic and usage patterns. Where required, we’ll ask for consent before setting non-essential cookies, and you can change your choice at any time via the cookie banner or your browser settings.
Legal basis (EEA/UK users)
Where GDPR applies, we process personal data on one or more of these bases:
- Legitimate interests (e.g., to keep the Service secure and reliable).
- Consent (e.g., for non-essential cookies/analytics where required).
- Contract (e.g., when you contact us and expect a reply).
- Legal obligations (e.g., to comply with applicable law).
Data retention
We keep information only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, then delete or de-identify it.
Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with trusted service providers who help us operate the Service (e.g., hosting). These providers are bound by obligations to protect your information and use it only for the tasks we specify. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect rights, safety, and the Service.
International transfers
Your information may be processed in countries other than your own. Where required, we take appropriate safeguards to protect your information during transfers.
Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights such as access, rectification, deletion, portability, restriction of processing, and objection. To exercise a right, contact us using the details below. Where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw consent at any time (this won't affect processing that has already occurred).
Children's privacy
The Service is not directed to children under 13 (or the age required by your local law). If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can take appropriate steps.
Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect information. No online service can guarantee absolute security.
Do Not Track
Your browser may offer a “Do Not Track” setting. Because there is no industry-standard response to DNT signals, we do not respond to them. We will continue to review developments and update this policy if that changes.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We'll change the “Effective date” above and, when appropriate, provide more prominent notice.
