This Privacy Policy explains how shousake.top (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you visit or interact with our website (the “Site”).

If you have any questions about this Policy or want to make a privacy request, contact us at: shousake@mail.shousake.top.

1) What information we collect

A. Information you choose to provide

You may provide information when you interact with the Site, for example:

  • Comments: your name (or nickname), email address (if provided), website (if provided), and the content of your comment.
  • Messages to us: if you contact us, we receive your email address and the information you include in your message.
  • Accounts (if enabled): if you create an account, we collect basic account details such as your username, email address, and any profile information you choose to share.

B. Information collected automatically

When you visit the Site, we (and our service providers) may automatically collect certain technical and usage information, such as:

  • device and browser details (e.g., browser type, operating system, language settings);
  • pages viewed, time spent, and general interaction with the Site;
  • referring/exit pages;
  • IP address, access times, and error logs.

We use this information to operate the Site, improve performance, troubleshoot issues, and help protect the Site from spam, abuse, and security threats.

2) Cookies and similar technologies

The Site uses cookies and similar technologies to:

  • remember preferences and settings;
  • enable core site functionality (including login/session management, where applicable);
  • support security features and spam prevention;
  • support analytics and advertising (if enabled).

You can control cookies through your browser settings and may be able to delete existing cookies. If you block cookies, some features of the Site may not work properly.

3) Comments and spam prevention

If you leave a comment, we may collect the information shown in the comment form, plus your IP address and browser user agent to help detect spam and keep the Site secure. Visitor comments may be checked through automated spam detection services.

4) Media uploads

If you upload images to the Site (where available), please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors may be able to download and extract that data from images displayed on the Site.

5) Advertising (including Google AdSense)

We may display ads on the Site through third-party advertising partners, including Google.

A. Third-party cookies, measurement, and personalization

Advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to:

  • serve and display ads;
  • measure ad performance (for example, impressions and clicks);
  • limit how often you see an ad; and
  • deliver personalized ads where permitted (based on your settings and your activity on this and/or other websites).

B. Your choices

You may be able to manage ad personalization through your Google ad settings and/or other available opt-out mechanisms (availability depends on your location and device).

C. Consent in certain regions

If you are located in a region that requires consent for certain cookies or personalized advertising (for example, the EEA/UK/Switzerland), you may see a consent notice before non-essential cookies are used, where required.

6) Analytics

We may use analytics tools (for example, Google Analytics) to understand how visitors use the Site and to improve content and performance. These tools may collect information such as device/browser details and on-site activity, often via cookies or similar technologies.

7) Affiliate links and referrals

Some pages on the Site include affiliate links or referral links. This means we may earn a commission if you click a link and sign up or make a purchase.

  • This typically does not increase the price you pay.
  • Affiliate revenue helps support the Site and keep content available.
  • We try to recommend tools or services we genuinely find useful, but you should always do your own research and decide what’s best for you.

8) Embedded content and third-party links

Articles on the Site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, posts) or links to third-party websites. Embedded content behaves as if you visited the other website directly. Those third parties may collect data about you, use cookies, and monitor your interaction according to their own policies.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party sites.

9) How we share information

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share information:

  • with service providers that help us operate the Site (e.g., hosting, security, spam prevention, analytics, and advertising);
  • to comply with legal obligations or respond to lawful requests; and/or
  • to protect the rights, safety, and security of the Site, our users, or others.

If you request a password reset (where accounts are enabled), your IP address may be included in the password reset email.

10) Data retention

We keep personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law.

  • Comments: we may retain comments and related metadata to recognize and approve follow-up comments and to help prevent spam.
  • Accounts (if enabled): we retain account/profile information while the account remains active. Users may be able to edit or delete certain profile information, subject to technical and legal constraints.

11) International data transfers

The Site and our service providers may process and store information on servers located in different countries. As a result, your information may be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions that may have different data protection laws than your country of residence.

12) Your rights and choices

Depending on your location and applicable laws, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information we hold about you, or to object to or restrict certain processing, and/or withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

To make a request, contact us at shousake@mail.shousake.top. We may need to verify your request before responding.

We take reasonable measures designed to protect information. However, no website or system can guarantee absolute security.
