Privacy Policy

What this site collects, what it does not, and who else can see anything.

The short version

ThePhindex does not ask you to create an account, and it does not collect your name, address, or payment details. There is no login. The data that does get collected comes from third-party services — analytics and advertising — described below.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, standard technical information is recorded when you visit: IP address, browser and device type, referring page, and which pages you viewed. This is used to understand traffic and keep the site working.

Cookies and advertising

This site uses third-party advertising, including Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet. You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info.

Third-party vendors and ad networks other than Google may also serve ads on this site and set their own cookies. This site does not control those cookies.

Email

If you email thephindex@gmail.com, your message and address are used only to reply. They are not added to a mailing list and are not sold or shared.

Children

This site is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect information from them.

Your choices

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; the site will still work. If you would like any information associated with your visits removed, email thephindex@gmail.com and it will be handled.

External links

The Newsroom links to articles and videos published by other outlets. Those sites have their own privacy policies, which this one does not cover.

Changes

This policy may be updated as the site changes. The date below always reflects the current version.
