Your privacy matters to us—plain and simple. At IntelBuddies (https://intelbuddies.com), we care deeply about the trust you place in us when you visit our website, read our articles, or connect with us. This page is here to explain, in straightforward language, what information we collect, why we collect it, and how we keep it safe.

Why This Policy Exists

We know privacy policies can be dry, but here’s the heart of it: when you use IntelBuddies, some information about you gets collected automatically (like basic browsing details), and sometimes you choose to share information with us directly (like when you contact us). We want you to know exactly how that works so you feel confident every time you’re here.

The Information We Collect

Information you share with us
If you reach out to us directly, we may receive details like your name, email, phone number, or even attachments you send. If you register or fill out a form, you might be asked for things like your company name, address, or other contact info.

Information collected automatically
Like almost every website, our servers keep log files. These record basics such as your IP address, browser type, ISP, referring pages, and the time you visited. None of this is tied to anything personally identifiable—it’s simply used to understand traffic, improve the site, and keep things running smoothly.

Cookies & similar technologies
Yes, we use cookies. They remember your preferences, help us tailor content, and make your browsing smoother. They also let us analyze how people use the site so we can improve. Some cookies may come from third-party services like Google Ads or analytics tools. You’re always free to manage or disable cookies in your browser settings.

How We Use Your Information

We use the data we collect to:

  • Keep IntelBuddies running smoothly.
  • Personalize your experience and suggest relevant content.
  • Understand which articles and topics people love most.
  • Respond to your emails and support requests.
  • Send updates or newsletters (only if you’ve opted in).
  • Detect and prevent fraud or misuse of our site.

Advertising & Third Parties

Sometimes we work with advertising partners (like Google). These partners may use cookies, JavaScript, or tracking pixels to show you relevant ads and measure how effective they are. They automatically receive your IP address when ads load.

Important: we don’t control these third-party cookies. If you want to know how they handle your data, check their own privacy policies (for example, Google’s Advertising Policy).

Your Rights (GDPR & CCPA)

If you’re in the EU, California, or anywhere with strong privacy laws, you’ve got rights. Here are the big ones:

  • Correction – If something’s wrong, ask us to fix it.
  • Deletion – Want us to erase your data? Just let us know.

We’ll respond to valid requests within a month. Just contact us if you’d like to exercise any of these rights.

Children’s Privacy
