Privacy Policy
Effective date: September 22, 2025
Welcome to MaxonCodes (maxoncodes.com). Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, how we share it, and the choices you have. By using our website you consent to the practices described in this policy.
1. Information we do not collect by default
Most pages on MaxonCodes can be browsed without registration. We do not require users to create an account to read articles. We do not automatically collect names, emails, or other personally identifiable information (PII) unless you voluntarily provide it (for example, via the contact form or newsletter signup).
2. Information you voluntarily provide
If you contact us (via our contact form, email, or collaboration form), you may provide:
- Name
- Email address
- Message or proposal content
We use that information only to respond to your request and to manage communications. Contact form messages are transmitted using a third-party email service (EmailJS) — see Third-party services below.
3. Log files & aggregated data
We collect non-identifying log and analytics data such as pages visited, referrer, IP (aggregate), device type, browser type, and time stamps to analyze trends and improve the site. This data is used in aggregate form and does not identify individual users.
4. Cookies, tracking & analytics
We use cookies and similar technologies for analytics, performance and advertising. These may include:
- Analytics cookies (e.g., Google Analytics) to measure how visitors use the site.
- Advertising cookies set by third-party ad partners (including Google) to serve personalized or non-personalized ads and measure ad performance.
If you prefer not to be tracked for personalized advertising, you can opt out using the following tools:
- Google Ads Settings: https://www.google.com/settings/ads
- YourAdChoices & Network Advertising: https://www.youradchoices.com/
- Use your browser settings to block cookies (note: blocking cookies may affect site functionality).
5. Third-party advertising & analytics
We participate in third-party advertising (for example Google AdSense) and use third-party analytics services. These providers may place and read cookies on your device and collect information about your visits to this and other sites to show you relevant ads. We do not control the advertising networks' data collection practices — please review their privacy policies for details.
6. Email lists & newsletters
If you sign up for our newsletter, you will provide an email address. We use this email to send newsletters and occasional updates. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in every email or by contacting us at maxoncodes@gmail.com.
7. Contact form & EmailJS
Messages sent through our contact form are transmitted using EmailJS (or similar third-party email services). The form submits your name, email, and message to enable us to reply. We retain this message information only as long as necessary to respond and for internal record-keeping.
8. Affiliate links & monetization
Some pages contain affiliate links. That means we may earn a small commission if you purchase via those links, at no extra cost to you. We also run third-party advertising. We disclose affiliate links clearly on pages where they appear.
9. Children’s privacy (COPPA)
Our services are not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected data from a child, please contact us and we will delete it.
10. Data security & retention
We take reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect data from unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction. While we strive to protect your information, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.
We retain contact form messages and other voluntarily provided information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose they were provided for, unless the law requires longer retention.
11. Your privacy rights (GDPR & CCPA)
EU / EEA residents (GDPR): You have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal data. To exercise these rights, contact us at maxoncodes@gmail.com. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe and as required by law.
California residents (CCPA): You may request information about categories of personal data collected, request deletion, or opt-out of the sale of personal data (we do not sell personal data for money, but we support opt-out requests for any data sharing performed by third parties). To submit a request, email maxoncodes@gmail.com. Include “California Privacy Request” in the subject line.
12. External links
MaxonCodes contains links to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. Please review the privacy policy of any site you visit from ours.
13. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy occasionally. We will post the updated policy here with an updated effective date. Continued use after changes indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
