Electronic Communication
The website operates an email newsletter program to inform subscribers about updates, products, and services. All personal details relating to subscriptions are held securely, and no personal details are given to third parties, companies, or people outside the Service.
Email marketing campaigns published by the website or its owners contain tracking mechanisms and affiliate links. Subscriber activity, including open rates, forwards, clicks, signup dates and times, etc., is tracked and stored in a database for future analysis and evaluation. The information improves future email campaigns and supplies more relevant content based on subscribers’ activities.
When a user opts into our email list, we collect your name, email address, and IP address, which gives us proof of your signup and consent to receive emails from us. You can unsubscribe from our newsletter by clicking on the link provided at the bottom of each newsletter or informing us directly via email.
The Service uses MailerLite for email marketing. They process your data to help us monitor and improve our newsletter. MailerLite’s privacy policy is available at https://www.mailerlite.com/privacy-policy.
Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing and advertising enable us to provide content free of charge and keep the Service operating. We try to ensure that advertising is safe, discreet, and relevant.
The Service uses affiliate marketing and links. We may earn a commission if you click through and purchase an item. Only purchase products and services that can help you achieve your goals. Secondly, our opinions are not for sale, and we aim to be objective in our reviews and recommendations.
Advertising
Advertising is one of Digital Fodder’s revenue streams. Therefore, we display advertisements on some of our services (e.g., on specific web pages and emails).
These third-party ad servers or ad networks use technology for the advertisements and links to appear on Digital Fodder. This targeting is always an automated process; none of the information used for targeting is analyzed manually or made available to advertising customers. They automatically receive your IP address when this occurs. Other technologies (such as cookies, JavaScript, or web beacons) may also be used by third-party ad networks to measure their advertisements’ effectiveness or personalize the advertising content you see. If you would like more information about this practice and know your choices about not having this information used by these companies, please go here.
Digital Fodder has no access to or control over these cookies used by third-party advertisers. Sometimes, we display advertisements from Google’s AdSense or AdExchange network. You can review Google’s Ads Privacy Policy here. Furthermore, you can use Google’s Ads Preferences Manager to configure your ad settings.
You can consult the respective privacy policies of any third-party ad servers for more detailed information on their practices and instructions about how to opt out of certain practices. Our privacy policy does not apply, and we cannot control the activities of other advertisers or websites.
Service Providers
We may employ third-party companies and individuals to facilitate our Service (“Service Providers”), provide the Service on our behalf, perform Service-related services, or help us analyze how our Service is used.
These third parties have access to your Personal Data only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.
Links to Other Sites
The Service may contain links to third-party websites or services not owned or controlled by us. The Service has no control over and assumes no responsibility for these third-party websites or services’ content, privacy policies, or practices.
Children’s Privacy
Our Service does not address anyone under 18 (“Children”), and we do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from them. If you are a parent or guardian and know that your Children have provided us with Personal Data, please get in touch with us. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Data from children without verifying parental consent, we remove that information from our servers.
