Privacy Policy
1 Zero Account Collection
Digital Phablet does not have user accounts, profiles, registration systems, or login credentials. When you interact with our 3D planetary models or exploration products, you explore anonymously. We do not store your name, email address, physical location, phone number, or billing information.
2 Google AdSense & Advertising Cookies
To keep Digital Phablet completely free and open to everyone without subscription fees or paywalls, we display advertising through Google AdSense.
- Third-Party Vendors & Cookies: Google and other third-party vendors use cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) to serve advertisements based on your prior visits to Digital Phablet or other websites on the Internet.
- Personalized Advertising: 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 across the web.
- How to Opt Out: You may opt out of personalized advertising at any time by visiting the Google Ads Settings page.
- Alternative Opt-Out: Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting the AboutAds.info Choices portal or Your Online Choices (for European visitors).
Disabling personalized advertising does not mean you will see fewer ads; rather, the ads displayed will simply not be tailored to your browsing history.
3 Web Server Logs & Telemetry
Like virtually all standard web servers, our hosting infrastructure (LiteSpeed / Apache) automatically logs standard, non-personally identifiable diagnostic requests. These log files may record:
- Internet Protocol (IP) address
- Browser type, version, and language setting
- Referring and exit URL pages
- Operating system platform
- Date and time stamps of requests
These logs are used exclusively for system administration, maintaining server uptime, detecting DDoS attacks or malicious scraping, and optimizing page delivery speeds. These logs are never tied to individual identities.
4 Client-Side Preferences (Local Storage)
When you use our interactive tools—such as toggling between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F) on the Planetary Weather product—your choice is stored directly in your browser's local memory (`localStorage` or `sessionStorage`). This allows the website to remember your preferred temperature unit when you switch between planets. This data stays entirely on your device and is never transmitted to our servers.
5 Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)
Digital Phablet is designed as a curiosity-driven educational tool suitable for students, educators, and science enthusiasts of all ages. We do not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. Because our website operates entirely without user registration, children can explore the universe and science safely without providing any personal data.
6 Your Privacy Rights (GDPR & CCPA)
Depending on your location, you have rights regarding your digital privacy:
- European Economic Area (GDPR): You have the right to access, rectify, or erase any personal data held about you, as well as the right to object to or restrict processing. Because we do not collect personal identities or accounts, there is no personal data record maintained on our servers.
- California Residents (CCPA/CPRA): We do not sell or share personal consumer information for monetary consideration. You have the right to request information regarding any third-party data collection practices or opt out of targeted advertising via Google Ad Settings.
7 External Links
Our interactive experiences may include links to external educational sources, such as NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), or academic research papers. Digital Phablet is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these external third-party sites. We encourage you to read their respective privacy statements when navigating away from our domain.
8 Policy Updates & Contact
We may occasionally update this Privacy Policy to reflect technical improvements, platform additions, or legal requirements. Any modifications will be posted directly on this page with an updated timestamp.
If you have questions or feedback regarding this Privacy Policy, you may contact us through our official domain: https://digitalphablet.com/.
