ShrinkNetwork.com is run by the Shrink Network. This page explains what information the site does and does not collect. It is written in plain language on purpose.
The short version: ShrinkNetwork.com is an informational site. You do not need an account to read it, no forms ask for personal details, and the site does not sell or share data. If you choose to email us, we will have whatever you send and will use it only to reply to you.
Cookies
ShrinkNetwork.com does not set advertising or tracking cookies. The site does not use third-party cookies for marketing, retargeting, or cross-site profiling. A small amount of browser storage may be used for site features such as remembering that you dismissed the crisis banner during your visit. That information stays on your device.
Analytics
If the site uses analytics, it uses only a privacy-friendly, cookieless tool that counts visits in aggregate. It can tell us things like how many people viewed a page, the general country a visit came from, and whether a visit was on a phone or a computer. It does not use cookies, it does not follow you across other websites, and it does not build a profile of you. We use this only to understand which pages are useful.
IP addresses and server logs
The hosting service that serves ShrinkNetwork.com keeps standard technical logs that may include IP address, browser type, device type, the page requested, and a timestamp. These logs exist for security, abuse prevention, and reliability. They are not used to identify you or to build a marketing profile.
Device and browser information
Like most websites, ShrinkNetwork.com receives basic device and browser information that your browser sends with every request, such as user-agent and screen size. This information is used only to serve the site correctly on your device.
Email and contact forms
If you email us at support@shrinknetwork.com or use a contact form, we receive whatever you choose to send, including your email address and message. We use that information only to reply to you and to address your question. We do not add you to a marketing list and we do not share your message with third parties.
Third-party tools
The site loads typefaces from Google Fonts and links out to other websites. Once a request goes to a third party, that party's own privacy practices apply. The site does not embed advertising networks, social media trackers, or third-party marketing tools.
Retention
Hosting and analytics records are retained only as long as needed for security and reliability, typically a short rolling window. Emails you send us are retained as long as needed to address your question and any related follow-up.
Advertising
The site runs no advertising and includes no third-party advertising or marketing trackers.
Links to other sites
ShrinkNetwork.com links to other properties in the Shrink Network and, sometimes, to outside sources. Once you follow a link to another site, that site's own privacy policy applies. We are not responsible for how other sites handle your information.
Children
ShrinkNetwork.com is intended for a general adult audience. It is not directed at children, and it does not knowingly collect information from children.
Your choices
Because the site does not collect personal information or use tracking cookies, there is nothing for you to opt out of or ask us to delete. If you have emailed us and you would like that message deleted, write to support@shrinknetwork.com and we will remove it.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted here with a new date.
