Effective Date: 01 June 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Wattzupp (https://wattzupp.com) collects, uses, shares and protects information when you visit or interact with our website. It is designed to comply with global standards including the EU GDPR, UK GDPR, California CCPA/CPRA and Google’s publisher policies for AdSense and Ad Manager.
1. Information we collect
We collect two broad categories of information:
- Information you give us directly — when you email us, leave a comment, sign up to a newsletter or fill in a contact form (e.g. name, email, message content).
- Information collected automatically — through cookies, log files and similar technologies, e.g. IP address, device and browser type, pages viewed, referring URL, approximate location and interaction with ads.
2. How we use your information
- To operate, maintain and improve the Site and its content.
- To respond to your enquiries, comments or correction requests.
- To deliver advertising (including personalised ads where consent is given) and to measure ad performance.
- To run affiliate tracking for purchases made through outbound links.
- To detect, prevent and address security, abuse or fraud.
- To comply with legal obligations.
3. Cookies and similar technologies
We and our advertising/analytics partners use cookies, pixels and similar technologies. Cookies are small text files placed on your device to remember preferences and serve relevant content/ads. For full details see our Cookie Policy.
4. Google AdSense, Google Ad Manager & third-party advertising
We use Google AdSense and Google Ad Manager to display advertisements on this site. Google and its partners use cookies and identifiers (including the DoubleClick “DART” cookie) 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 this site and/or other sites on the internet.
- You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- You may opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting aboutads.info (DAA) or Your Online Choices (EDAA, EU).
- Google’s privacy practices are described at policies.google.com/technologies/ads.
5. Analytics
We may use Google Analytics or similar tools to understand how visitors use the site. These tools may collect pseudonymous information such as IP address (typically truncated), device and browsing behaviour. You can opt out of Google Analytics at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
6. Affiliate links
Some outbound links on Wattzupp are affiliate links. When you click an affiliate link and make a qualifying purchase, the merchant may share a small commission with us. The affiliate network may set a cookie on your browser to track the referral. We do not receive your payment details. See our Disclaimer.
7. Sharing of information
We do not sell your personal information. We share information only with: (a) service providers acting on our behalf (e.g. hosting, analytics, advertising networks); (b) authorities where required by law; or (c) successors in a business reorganisation.
8. Your rights (GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA)
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, port or restrict processing of your personal data, and to object to certain processing including personalised advertising. EU/UK users have additional consent rights — see our GDPR Consent Policy. California users have rights described in our CCPA Policy. To exercise any right, email info@wattzupp.com.
9. Data retention
We retain personal information only for as long as needed to fulfil the purpose collected or as required by law. Server log data is typically retained for up to 12 months and then deleted or aggregated.
10. Children
This site is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us so we can delete it.
11. International transfers
Our hosting, advertising and analytics providers may process data in the United States and other countries. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
12. Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures (TLS encryption, access controls, software updates) to protect your information. No internet transmission is 100% secure.
13. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will revise the “Effective Date” at the top and, where the change is material, post a notice on the site.
