Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Scnify.com uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience and collect information about how you use our website. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us remember your preferences and understand your usage patterns.

Types of Cookies We Use

  • Essential Cookies: These are necessary for the website to function properly and cannot be disabled. They enable core functionality such as page navigation and access to secure areas.
  • Analytics Cookies: We use these to collect information about how visitors use our website, including which pages are visited most often and if users encounter error messages. This helps us improve our website performance.
  • Advertising Cookies: These cookies are used by our advertising partners (such as Google AdSense) to deliver relevant advertisements and track campaign effectiveness.

Managing Cookies

You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse or accept cookies, delete existing cookies, and set preferences for certain websites. Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of our website and limit your ability to use some features. To learn more about managing cookies, visit your browser's help section.

Third-Party Services and Integrations

To provide our services effectively, we integrate with several third-party services. These services may collect and process data according to their own privacy policies:

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to analyze website traffic and user behavior. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit our site, what pages they visit, and what other sites they used prior to coming to our site. We use this information to maintain and improve our services. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit our site, not your name or other identifying information. For more information about Google Analytics' privacy practices, visit Google's Privacy Policy.

Google AdSense

Scnify.com participates in the Google AdSense program to display advertisements. Google AdSense uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website and other websites on the Internet. These cookies enable Google and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to Scnify.com and other sites across the web. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or by visiting aboutads.info.

Other Third-Party Services

We may use additional third-party services for various purposes such as content delivery networks (CDNs), email services, and hosting providers. These services have access only to the information necessary to perform their functions and are obligated to maintain the confidentiality and security of your information.

Advertising Partners

We work with advertising partners to display ads on our website. These partners may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your browsing activities across different websites to provide you with relevant advertisements.

Google AdSense Policies

As a Google AdSense publisher, we comply with Google's advertising policies. Our advertising partners may use technologies such as cookies and web beacons to collect information about your online activities to provide advertising targeted to your interests. The ads served will be targeted based on your previous browsing history. For example, if you have been viewing sites about cars, you might see car advertisements on Scnify.com.

Your Advertising Choices

You have the right to opt out of personalized advertising. You can visit the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page or Digital Advertising Alliance's opt-out page to opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies. Please note that opting out does not mean you will no longer see ads; it means the ads you see will not be personalized based on your interests.

Data Security

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information. Our security practices include:

  • Encryption: We use SSL/TLS encryption to protect data transmitted between your browser and our servers
  • Access Controls: We restrict access to personal information to employees and contractors who need it to perform their jobs
  • Regular Security Audits: We conduct periodic security assessments to identify and address vulnerabilities
  • Secure Hosting: Our servers are hosted with reputable providers that implement industry-standard security measures
  • Data Minimization: We collect only the minimum amount of data necessary to provide our services
  • Browser-Side Processing: Most of our tools process data directly in your browser, meaning your sensitive information never leaves your device

Please Note: While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your data.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information under applicable data protection laws, including GDPR (European Union) and CCPA (California). These rights may include:

Right to Access

You have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you. We will provide you with a copy of your data in a commonly used electronic format.

Right to Rectification

If you believe any information we hold about you is incorrect or incomplete, you have the right to request correction or update of that information.

Right to Erasure

You have the right to request deletion of your personal information under certain circumstances, such as when the data is no longer necessary for the purposes it was collected.

Right to Restrict Processing

You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal information under certain conditions.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive your personal information in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and transmit it to another controller.

Right to Object

You have the right to object to our processing of your personal information for direct marketing purposes or based on legitimate interests.

Right to Withdraw Consent

If we process your data based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

Exercising Your Rights

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the contact information provided at the end of this policy. We will respond to your request within 30 days. Please note that we may need to verify your identity before processing your request.

Children's Privacy

Scnify.com is not intended for children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of consent in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately. If we discover that we have collected personal information from a child without proper parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information from our servers promptly.

International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to and maintained on computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction. If you are located outside the United States and choose to provide information to us, please note that we transfer the data to the United States and process it there. By using our services, you consent to the transfer of your information to countries outside your country of residence, which may have different data protection rules than in your country.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. When determining the appropriate retention period, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, the purposes for which we process your information, and applicable legal requirements.

Once your information is no longer needed, we will securely delete or anonymize it. Please note that some information may be retained in backup systems for a limited period for security and legal compliance purposes.

Do Not Track Signals

Some web browsers incorporate a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Currently, there is no standard for how DNT signals should be interpreted, and our website does not respond to DNT signals. However, you can adjust your cookie settings through your browser to manage tracking preferences.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy. For material changes, we may provide additional notice such as a prominent announcement on our website or email notification to users who have provided their email addresses.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information. Your continued use of our services after any changes to this Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.

Links to Other Websites

Our website may contain links to third-party websites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise you to review the privacy policy of every site you visit. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.
