This Privacy Policy explains how HackScoop collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website, read our articles, or contact us.
Information we collect
HackScoop collects information in a few basic ways:
- Information you send to us: If you use the contact form, we collect the name, email address, subject, and message you provide so we can review and respond to your request.
- Basic technical information: Our server may receive information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, referring pages, and the date and time of your visit.
- Cookies and similar technologies: The site may use cookies that help pages function, remember session information, measure site performance, or support advertising if advertising tools are enabled.
How we use information
We use collected information to operate HackScoop, publish and improve content, respond to messages, troubleshoot technical issues, protect the site from spam or abuse, understand how readers use the site, and comply with legal obligations.
Advertising and analytics
HackScoop may display advertisements or use analytics services. These services may collect information through cookies, pixels, or similar technologies to measure performance, limit repeated ads, or show relevant advertising. Their use of information is governed by their own privacy policies.
You can usually limit cookies through your browser settings. Some parts of the site may not work as expected if necessary cookies are blocked.
When we share information
We do not sell personal information. We may share limited information with service providers who help us host, secure, maintain, analyze, or operate the website. We may also disclose information if required by law, to enforce our terms, to protect rights and safety, or as part of a business transfer such as a merger or sale.
Data retention
We keep information only as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Contact form messages may be kept so we can manage replies, records, and abuse prevention.
Your choices
You may contact us to request access, correction, or deletion of personal information you have provided to HackScoop. We may need to verify your request before acting on it, and some records may be retained where necessary for security, legal, or operational reasons.
Children's privacy
HackScoop is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so we can review the issue.
