Privacy Policy

Effective date: September 14, 2025

Who we are

Quotes of the Day (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the website located at https://quotesoftheday.org (the “Website”), where we share inspirational quotations, articles, images, and related content.

Scope

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit or interact with the Website, how we use and share it, and the choices you have. By using the Website, you agree to the practices described here.

Information we collect

1) Information you provide

  • Contact messages or requests: name, email address, and the content of your message if you contact us.
  • Comments or submissions (if enabled): name, email, IP address, and comment content to help with spam detection and moderation.

2) Information collected automatically

  • Log and device data: IP address, browser type, operating system, referring/exit pages, timestamps, and general location (country/region) for security, analytics, and performance.
  • Cookies and similar technologies: small files stored on your device to keep the site functional (e.g., preferences), analyze traffic, and support advertising where applicable. You can control cookies via your browser settings and (if shown) our consent banner.

3) Third-party data (optional/if used)

  • Analytics: we may use Google Analytics or a similar service to understand site usage.
  • Advertising: we may show ads (e.g., Google AdSense or another network) that use cookies to deliver and measure ads, including personalized ads if you consent or as allowed by law.
  • CDN and security: services such as Cloudflare may process IP addresses to protect and accelerate the site.

How we use information

We use information to:

  • operate, secure, and improve the Website;
  • respond to messages and support requests;
  • analyze aggregated usage to guide content and performance improvements;
  • detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, and technical issues;
  • comply with legal obligations.

Where GDPR/UK GDPR applies, we process personal data under these legal bases:

  • Consent (e.g., non-essential cookies, personalized ads, email communications);
  • Legitimate interests (e.g., site security, basic analytics, preventing abuse);
  • Legal obligation (e.g., record-keeping, responding to lawful requests).

You can withdraw consent at any time via your browser settings, our cookie banner (if available), or by contacting us.

Cookies and advertising choices

  • You can disable or delete cookies through your browser settings.
  • To opt out of interest-based advertising, see platform choices such as Google Ads Settings and industry pages like YourAdChoices / YourOnlineChoices (availability varies by region).
  • If we present a cookie consent banner, your selections will be respected to the extent technologically feasible.

How we share information

We do not sell personal information. We share information only with:

  • Service providers/Processors (e.g., hosting, security, analytics, ad networks) under contracts that require them to protect your data and use it only on our instructions;
  • Legal reasons (to comply with law, regulation, legal process, or to protect rights, safety, and security);
  • Business transfers (if we reorganize or transfer assets, this Policy will continue to apply to your information).

Data retention

We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes stated above, unless a longer retention is required by law (e.g., security logs). When no longer needed, we take steps to delete or anonymize the data.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

International transfers

If you access the Website from outside our hosting region, your information may be transferred to, stored, or processed in a different country with different data-protection laws. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for such transfers.

Your rights

EEA/UK (GDPR/UK GDPR)

You may have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict or object to processing, and data portability. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. Where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw consent at any time.

California (CCPA/CPRA)

California residents may have the right to know the categories of personal information collected, access specific pieces of information, correct inaccuracies, delete information (subject to exceptions), and opt out of sale or sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not sell personal information. To exercise rights, contact us at info@quotesoftheday.org.

Philippines (Data Privacy Act of 2012)

Philippine residents may have the right to be informed, object, access, correct, erase/block, data portability, and claim damages in accordance with RA 10173 and NPC rules. You may contact us at info@quotesoftheday.org for requests.

Exercising your rights

To make a request, email info@quotesoftheday.org with:

  • the right you wish to exercise;
  • details sufficient for us to verify your identity and locate the information; and
  • your preferred response method.
    We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.

Children’s privacy

The Website is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required by your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to remove it.

User-generated content

If comments or submissions are enabled, remember that anything you post may be publicly visible. We may use automated spam detection services that process comment data, including IP addresses and user-agent strings.

The Website may link to external sites we do not operate. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices. Review their policies before providing personal information.

Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) setting. Because there is no industry consensus on DNT handling, we do not respond to DNT signals at this time.

Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. The “Effective date” will always show when it was last revised. Material changes will be highlighted on this page and, where appropriate, notified to you through the Website.
