Summary: This portal is informational and collects only minimal data needed to operate the site and respond to voluntary contact form submissions.
1. Overview
Zowusi Vimucu ("the portal," "we," "us") operates an informational website located at zowusi-vimucu.info that explains research related to readability scoring. This Privacy Policy describes what limited information we collect from visitors, why we collect it, and the choices available to you regarding that information. This policy is written to comply with applicable United States privacy law, including the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA), and with the advertising policies of Google Ads.
Summary: We collect information you voluntarily submit through the contact form and limited technical data through cookies.
2. Information We Collect
We collect two categories of information. The first is information you choose to provide, such as an email address and message text submitted through the contact form on this site. Name is optional. The second is limited technical information gathered automatically through cookies and similar technologies, described in more detail in our separate Cookie Policy, which may include general device type, approximate region, and interaction with site features such as the mobile menu or cookie preference panel.
Summary: The contact form uses a standard mailto link, meaning your message is sent through your own email client, not stored on our servers.
3. How the Contact Form Works
The contact form on our Contact page is configured to open your device's default email application with a pre-filled message. This means the content you type is transmitted through your own email provider when you press send, rather than being submitted directly to a database controlled by us. We do not guarantee delivery, response time, or that any particular email client is configured on your device.
Summary: Cookies are used for essential site function and, where you consent, for basic analytics.
4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use a cookie consent mechanism that allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookie categories, including analytics cookies. Strictly necessary cookies, such as the one that remembers your consent preference, are used regardless of consent because the site cannot function correctly without them. Full details, including cookie names and retention periods, are available in our Cookie Policy.
Summary: Information is used only to operate the site, respond to inquiries, and understand general usage patterns.
5. How We Use Information
Any information collected is used solely to maintain the functioning of this website, to facilitate responses to voluntary inquiries submitted through the contact form, and, where analytics cookies are accepted, to understand in general terms how visitors interact with page content. We do not use collected information to build advertising profiles, and we do not sell personal information as defined under the CCPA/CPRA.
Summary: We do not sell personal information and do not knowingly share it with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
6. Disclosure of Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information to third parties. Limited technical information may be processed by service providers that support core site infrastructure, such as hosting and analytics providers, acting under their own applicable privacy terms. We may disclose information if required to do so by law, subpoena, or valid governmental request.
Summary: Data is retained only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy.
7. Data Retention
Cookie preference data is generally retained for up to twelve months or until you clear your browser storage, whichever occurs first. We do not maintain a persistent database of contact form submissions, since those messages route through your own email client rather than our servers.
Summary: Depending on your state of residence, you may have rights to access, delete, or opt out of the sale of personal information.
8. Your Privacy Rights
If you are a California resident, the CCPA/CPRA provides you with rights including the right to know what personal information is collected, the right to request deletion of personal information, and the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. Because we do not sell personal information, no opt-out mechanism for sale is required. To exercise any applicable rights, contact us using the details in Section 11 below.
Summary: This site is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
9. Children's Privacy
This portal is not directed toward children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children in a manner inconsistent with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). If we become aware that a child under 13 has submitted personal information through the contact form, we will take reasonable steps to delete that information.
Summary: Our Google Official Resources page links to third-party sites governed by their own privacy practices.
10. Third-Party Links
This site includes links to official documentation maintained by Google and referenced on our Google Official Resources page. These external sites operate under their own privacy policies, which we do not control. We encourage you to review the privacy practices of any third-party site before providing information there.
Summary: This policy may be updated periodically, with the date at the top reflecting the most recent revision.
11. Changes to This Policy and Contact Information
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. The date at the top of this page indicates the most recent revision. Questions regarding this policy may be directed to us at the contact details below.
