3. Cookies and Similar Technologies

HelpForFelons.org uses cookies and similar technologies to improve site performance, understand traffic, remember preferences, measure content performance, and support advertising.

These technologies may be used to:

  • keep the site working properly
  • remember user settings and consent choices
  • understand traffic and visitor behavior
  • measure ad impressions and ad performance
  • support personalized or non personalized advertising, depending on location and consent

You can usually control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how parts of the site function.

4. Google AdSense and Advertising

We use Google AdSense to display ads on HelpForFelons.org.

Google and its partners may use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies to:

  • serve ads
  • limit repeated ads
  • measure ad performance
  • help detect fraud and abuse
  • personalize ads where allowed and where consent has been given

Depending on your location and your consent choices, you may be shown either personalized ads or non personalized ads.

For users in certain regions, including the EEA, UK, and Switzerland, Google requires publishers serving personalized ads to use a certified consent management platform. Google also supports consent related settings and consent mode for measurement and advertising behavior.

You can also learn more about how Google uses information in connection with advertising through Google’s own privacy and ads settings pages.

5. Consent Choices

Where required by law, we display a consent banner or consent tool that lets visitors choose whether certain cookies and advertising technologies can be used.

Your choices may include consent for:

  • advertising storage
  • analytics storage
  • personalized advertising
  • related measurement technologies

Google’s consent mode allows consent signals to affect how Google tags behave depending on the user’s choice.

You can change your choices later through our consent settings link, if available, or through your browser settings.

6. Analytics and Measurement

We may use analytics tools, including Google Analytics or similar tools, to understand how visitors use the site.

Analytics tools may collect information such as:

  • page visits
  • traffic source
  • device type
  • browser type
  • approximate geographic region
  • engagement metrics

This helps us improve content, navigation, and performance.

7. Affiliate Links and Referral Tracking

Some pages on HelpForFelons.org may contain affiliate links. This means we may earn a commission if you click a link and later make a purchase or complete a qualifying action.

For example, we may participate in affiliate programs such as Amazon Associates or other partner programs.

Affiliate partners may use cookies or similar tracking technologies to attribute referrals and measure performance.

Using an affiliate link does not increase your cost.

8. Third Party Services

We may work with third party providers that help us run the site, measure traffic, serve ads, manage email, protect against spam, or improve performance.

These may include, depending on what is active on the site:

  • Google AdSense
  • Google Analytics
  • email newsletter providers
  • affiliate networks
  • hosting providers
  • security and anti spam services
  • caching, performance, or CDN services

These third parties may process information according to their own privacy policies.

9. Sharing of Information

We do not sell your personal information for money.

We may share information:

  • with service providers that help us operate the website
  • with advertising, analytics, or affiliate partners as described in this policy
  • when required by law, legal process, or government request
  • to protect rights, safety, security, users, or the site
  • in connection with a business transfer, merger, sale, or asset transfer

Depending on the privacy law that applies in your state or country, some data sharing connected to advertising may be considered “sharing,” “sale,” or “targeted advertising” even when no money is exchanged.

10. Data Retention

We keep information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to:

  • provide the site and its services
  • maintain records
  • comply with legal obligations
  • resolve disputes
  • enforce agreements
  • protect the site and users

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information.

11. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect information.

No website, platform, or method of transmission over the internet is completely secure. Because of that, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

12. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have privacy rights under applicable law.

These rights may include the right to:

  • know what personal information is collected, used, disclosed, sold, or shared
  • request access to personal information

  • request correction of inaccurate personal information

We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests.

13. Children’s Privacy

HelpForFelons.org is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

14. Third Party Links

Our website may contain links to third party websites, services, or resources.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third party sites. You should review their privacy policies before providing information.

15. Do Not Track and Browser Signals

Some browsers offer Do Not Track settings or other privacy signals. Because there is not one universal standard for all such signals, we may not respond to every browser based signal in the same way.

Where required by applicable law, we will honor privacy choices made through supported consent tools or legally required opt out mechanisms.

16. International Visitors

If you visit HelpForFelons.org from outside the United States, please note that your information may be processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate.

These countries may not provide the same level of legal protection as your home jurisdiction.

17. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.
