Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how FonsTycoon collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you visit https://fonstycoon.com and its related pages.

FonsTycoon is a fan-made guide website operated as an individual project. The site is intended for a global audience. We do not offer user accounts, paid purchases, comments, newsletter signups, social login, public posting features, or payment processing.

Summary

We collect limited information needed to run the site, understand how the site is being used, protect the site, and respond to messages. We rely on hosting and security providers to keep the site available, and we will update this policy if optional analytics, advertising, or consent tools are enabled later. We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information, precise geolocation, government ID numbers, payment card details, or information from children under 13.

Information We Collect

FonsTycoon collects and processes the following categories of information:

• Contact information. When you email us, we receive your email address, name or display name, and the contents of your message.
• Identifiers and device information. This includes IP address, cookie identifiers, advertising identifiers, browser type, device type, operating system, language settings, and approximate location derived from IP address.
• Internet or network activity. This includes pages viewed, referring pages, links clicked, search or navigation activity on the site, dates and times of visits, and diagnostic or performance data.
• Analytics or advertising information. If optional measurement or ad services are enabled later, those providers may create or use pseudonymous identifiers, aggregated measurement data, frequency-capping data, and fraud-prevention data.
• Security and hosting logs. Hosting and security providers process request logs, IP addresses, browser details, error logs, and security events to deliver and protect the site.

Information We Do Not Intentionally Collect

FonsTycoon does not intentionally collect payment information, account passwords, precise GPS location, government identification numbers, health information, biometric information, or other sensitive personal information. Please do not send sensitive personal information to us by email.

How We Use Information

We use information for the following purposes:

• To operate, maintain, secure, and improve FonsTycoon.
• To understand which pages, guides, and features are useful to visitors.
• To measure site performance, traffic sources, page views, and general usage trends.
• To support optional analytics or advertising services if they are enabled later.
• To prevent abuse, spam, fraud, security incidents, and technical problems.
• To respond to messages you send us.
• To comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce site policies.

Legal Bases for Processing

For visitors protected by the GDPR, UK GDPR, and similar privacy laws, FonsTycoon relies on these legal bases:

• Consent for non-essential cookies or similar technologies if those tools are enabled in regions that require consent.
• Legitimate interests in operating, securing, improving, and measuring a public guide website.
• Legal obligations when we need to comply with applicable law or valid legal requests.
• Your request or consent when you contact us and ask us to respond.

Analytics Services

FonsTycoon may enable privacy-friendly measurement tools in the future to understand which pages are useful and how visitors move through the site. If that happens, this policy will be updated with the specific provider and the types of information that service processes.

Until then, you can limit cookies, local storage, and similar browser technologies through your own browser settings.

Advertising Services and Cookies

FonsTycoon may enable advertising services later. If that happens, third-party vendors may use cookies or similar technologies for ad delivery, frequency capping, aggregated reporting, and fraud prevention, and this policy will be updated to reflect the provider and the available user controls.

For now, the site content is intended to avoid direct third-party outbound links in public pages.

Cookies, Consent, and Your Choices

Cookies are small files stored on your browser or device. Similar technologies include tags, pixels, local storage, scripts, and identifiers. We and our service providers may use these technologies for security, fraud prevention, and site performance, and we will update this policy if optional analytics or advertising tooling is turned on later.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block cookies, delete existing cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored. Blocking cookies can affect some site features or third-party services.

If non-essential analytics or advertising tools are enabled for visitors in regions that require consent, FonsTycoon will present an appropriate consent flow before those tools are activated.

Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a Do Not Track signal. Because there is no uniform industry standard for responding to these signals, FonsTycoon does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals. You can still use the cookie and browser controls described in this policy.

Hosting, Security, and Service Providers

FonsTycoon uses Cloudflare services for hosting, performance, security, and site delivery. Cloudflare processes technical information such as IP addresses, browser details, request data, and security-related information to deliver and protect the website.

We share information with service providers that help us operate the site, including hosting, search indexing, security, and infrastructure providers. These providers process information according to their own privacy policies and their agreements with us.

When We Share Information

We share information in the following situations:

• With service providers such as Cloudflare and other infrastructure providers that help us host, secure, and operate the site.
• For legal reasons including compliance with laws, regulations, court orders, government requests, and protection of rights, safety, and security.
• With your consent or at your direction.
• In a business transfer involving a transfer, merger, or reorganization of the site or its assets.

Data Retention

We keep information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Email messages you send to us are retained as needed to respond, maintain records, resolve disputes, or protect the site. Hosting and security providers retain data according to their own retention settings and policies.

Your Privacy Rights

Privacy laws give visitors rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or restriction of certain personal information. Visitors also have rights to object to processing, withdraw consent when processing is based on consent, request data portability, and complain to a data protection authority.

To make a privacy request, contact us at [email protected]. We need enough information to verify and process the request. Visitors with appeal rights can appeal our response by replying to our decision email.

California Consumers

California consumers have the right to know what categories and specific pieces of personal information FonsTycoon collected, the right to request deletion or correction, the right to opt out of sale or sharing, the right to limit use of sensitive personal information, and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising privacy rights.

In the last 12 months, FonsTycoon collected the categories listed in this policy: identifiers, device information, internet or network activity, approximate location derived from IP address, contact information sent by email, and security logs. We collect this information from visitors, browsers, devices, Cloudflare, hosting systems, and other service providers needed to operate the site.

We use these categories for the business and commercial purposes described above, including site operation, security, fraud prevention, communication, and legal compliance. We disclose these categories to service providers involved in hosting, security, and infrastructure operations.

FonsTycoon does not sell personal information for money. If optional analytics or advertising technologies are enabled in the future and are treated as a “sale,” “sharing,” or “targeted advertising” under applicable law, we will update this policy and provide the relevant controls before those services are activated.

Children's Privacy

FonsTycoon is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Parents or guardians who believe a child provided personal information to us can contact us, and we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the site and the information processed through it. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

External Links

FonsTycoon aims to keep public pages focused on local content and internal navigation. If a future page or service references a third-party destination, that provider's privacy practices and content policies will apply to that destination.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes are posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. Your continued use of the site after an update means the revised policy applies to your use of the site.
