Privacy Policy

Effective Date: June 26, 2025
Last Updated: June 26, 2025

At SiliconSnark, we take your privacy seriously—yes, even while poking fun at billionaires and buzzwords. This Privacy Policy outlines what information we collect, how we use it, and what choices you have.

By using this site, you consent to the practices described below. If that sounds ominous, it’s not—we’re just following the rules.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect two types of information:

1.1 Personal Information (you give us):

  • If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address.
  • If you contact us (to complain or compliment our robot overlords), we’ll keep your message and contact info.

1.2 Non-Personal Information (collected automatically):

  • IP address
  • Browser type
  • Pages visited
  • Time spent on site
  • Referring website
  • Device type
    This data is collected via cookies and analytics tools, and it helps us understand how humans interact with our site.

2. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies (not the fun kind) to:

  • Analyze traffic
  • Remember your preferences
  • Display relevant ads (Google AdSense, we're looking at you)

You can disable cookies via your browser settings, but the site may not work as smoothly.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

  • Send newsletters (if you signed up)
  • Improve the site experience
  • Make fun of tech news more effectively
  • Show ads that might interest you (using Google services)

We do not sell your personal information. Not even for meme coin funding.

4. Third-Party Services

We may use third-party services including:

  • Google Analytics
  • Google AdSense
  • Mailchimp (or similar email service provider)

These services may collect data independently through cookies or similar technologies. Their use of your data is governed by their privacy policies, not ours. We recommend you review them.

5. Data Security

We use standard security measures (SSL, limited access, regular updates) to protect your data. No system is foolproof, but we do our best.

6. Children’s Privacy

SiliconSnark is not intended for children under 13. If we learn we’ve collected data from a child, we’ll delete it as soon as possible.

7. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

  • Request access to your data
  • Ask us to delete it
  • Opt out of tracking or marketing

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We’ll post changes here and update the "Effective Date" above. Keep checking in between robot takeovers.
