Privacy Policy

This privacy policy explains how NerdlyBuilds ("we", "us", or "the site"), available at nerdlybuilds.com, collects, uses, and protects information when you visit. By using the site, you agree to the practices described here.

Information We Collect

NerdlyBuilds is primarily a content site, and we aim to collect as little personal information as possible. The information that may be collected falls into a few categories:

• Information you provide voluntarily. If you contact us through a form, subscribe to a newsletter, or submit a consulting intake, you provide details such as your name, email address, and the contents of your message. We use this solely to respond to you.
• Automatically collected information. Like most websites, our servers and third-party services may log standard technical information such as your browser type, device, referring page, and general location (derived from IP address) for analytics and security.
• Cookies and similar technologies. See the Cookies section below.

How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to inquiries and provide requested services;
• Operate, maintain, and improve the site;
• Understand how visitors use the site so we can make it better;
• Display relevant advertising through third-party partners;
• Protect against fraud, abuse, and security threats.

We do not sell your personal information.

Cookies

We use Google AdSense to serve advertisements on this site. As a third-party vendor, Google uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to NerdlyBuilds and/or other sites on the Internet.

Managing Cookies

Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies through their settings. Disabling cookies may affect how some parts of the site function.

Analytics

We may use analytics services to understand site traffic and usage patterns in aggregate. These services collect information such as pages visited, time on site, and general location, and use it to produce reports that help us improve the site. This data is not used to personally identify you.

Third-Party Links

NerdlyBuilds contains links to external sites — product pages, documentation, GitHub repositories, and the like. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.

Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the information we collect. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children's Privacy

NerdlyBuilds is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will remove it.

Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal data — including the right to access, correct, or delete the information we hold about you. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details on our Contact page.
