**Effective Date: August 4, 2026**
Welcome to techwizardry.org. Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected when you visit this site and how that information is used.
**1. Overview**
techwizardry.org is a personal blog. We do not solicit subscriptions, we do not create user accounts, and we do not allow comments. We are not trying to engage with or track you personally beyond basic, anonymous traffic statistics.
**2. Information We Do NOT Collect**
We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, or other personal information directly. Since we do not have a newsletter, subscription form, or comment section, you are not asked to provide personal data to use the site.
**3. Information That May Be Collected Automatically**
Like most WordPress sites, some information may be collected automatically by WordPress itself and by standard traffic plugins:
**a) Server Logs and Traffic Plugins:** WordPress and traffic analytics plugins (such as Jetpack Stats or similar) may collect anonymous data such as your IP address, browser type, device type, referring website, and pages viewed. This is used only to understand overall site traffic and performance, such as how many people visited and which articles were most popular. This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally to us.
**b) Cookies:** This site may use cookies. Cookies are small files stored on your browser. WordPress and traffic plugins may use cookies to measure visits. You can disable cookies at any time in your browser settings. If you disable cookies, the site will still work normally.
**4. Affiliate Links and Disclosure**
mysatdish.com participates in affiliate marketing programs. This means if you click on a link and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
We are a participant in:
**Amazon Services LLC Associates Program:** As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. Amazon and its partners may use cookies to track your visit to help us earn a commission.
**NordVPN Affiliate Program:** This site contains affiliate links to NordVPN. If you click a NordVPN link and subscribe, we may earn a commission. NordVPN has its own privacy policy that governs your interaction with their site.
We only recommend products we believe have value. Any affiliate relationship does not influence our editorial content.
In compliance with FTC guidelines, please assume that any outbound link on techwizardry.org may be an affiliate link.
**5. Third-Party Links and Embedded Content**
Our articles may include links to third-party websites (like Amazon.com, NordVPN.com, manufacturer sites) and may include embedded content (for example, YouTube videos, product images). Clicking those links or viewing embedded content will take you to third-party sites that have their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to read their privacy policies.
**6. How We Use Information**
Any automatically collected, anonymous traffic data is used solely for:
1. Maintaining and improving the performance of the site
2. Understanding which content is useful to readers
3. Reporting required by our affiliate partners (e.g., number of clicks on a link, not who clicked)
We do not sell, rent, or trade any data.
**7. Data Retention**
Since we do not collect personal accounts or comments, we have no personal user data to retain, other than aggregated analytics data kept by WordPress and our traffic plugins.
**8. Children’s Privacy**
This site is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
**9. Your Rights – GDPR and CCPA**
Depending on your location, you may have certain privacy rights. Because we do not collect personal information directly, we have little to no personal data to provide or delete. For any third-party cookies from analytics or affiliate partners, you can control them via your browser settings.
If you are in California, the EU, or other regions with privacy laws, you have the right to browse without providing personal information, and you can use browser tools to block cookies and tracking.
**10. Changes to This Policy**
We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. If you have any questions or concerns about this privacy policy, you can reach me at iron-copper-tall (at sign) duck.com
