Privacy Policy
Last updated 2026-09-26. This is the AdSense-required privacy policy for flockfinder.online. For how we handle your data when you use the Site (geolocation, email subscriptions, tip submissions, server logs), see the visitor data policy. This page covers advertising and cookies.
1. Third-party ad networks
We may use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit the Site. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites to provide advertisements about goods and services that may interest you. Information used for this purpose does not include personally identifiable information such as name, address, email address, or telephone number.
2. Google AdSense and the DART cookie
We may use Google AdSense, a web advertising service provided by Google. Google AdSense uses the DART cookie (DoubleClick), which enables it to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our Site and other sites on the Internet. The DART cookie does not track personally identifiable information about you, such as your name, email address, postal address, or telephone number.
You may opt out of the DART cookie by visiting the Google Ad Settings page. Google's full privacy policy is available at policies.google.com/privacy.
3. Cookies and behavioral advertising opt-out
You can opt out of behavioral advertising from many participating companies via the following industry opt-out pages:
- Digital Advertising Alliance (aboutads.info)
- Network Advertising Initiative (NAI)
- European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA)
You can also configure your browser to block or delete cookies. Note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of this Site.
4. Affiliate disclosure
Some pages on this Site contain affiliate links. When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. Affiliate relationships never influence the editorial content of our dossiers or guides. Affiliate links are tagged with rel="sponsored" and carry a visible “Affiliate link” label.
5. California privacy rights (CCPA / CPRA)
If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to delete it, and the right to opt out of its sale or sharing. The Transparency Project does not sell personal information. To exercise your rights, email contact@flockfinder.online with the subject line “CCPA request”. We will respond within 45 days as required by California law.
6. European visitors (GDPR notice)
The Site is operated from the United States and is intended for a US audience. If you visit from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we process your data on the legal basis of legitimate interest (providing the transparency service you requested) and consent (where applicable, such as cookies for non-essential purposes). You have the right to access, correct, and delete your personal data; to exercise these rights, contact contact@flockfinder.online.
7. Children's privacy
The Site is not directed at children under 13 (or under 16 in the EEA / UK) and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
8. Data retention and security
We retain personal information only as long as necessary to provide the service or as required by law. We use industry-standard safeguards (HTTPS, scoped API keys, least-privilege access) to protect the data we hold. Because no system is perfectly secure, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. International transfers
The Site is hosted on Cloudflare's global edge network. By using the Site, you understand that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States and other countries where Cloudflare or its subprocessors maintain infrastructure.
10. Changes to this policy
We will post material changes to this policy on this page. The git history of this page is public at github.com/chaifly/flocktracker.
