Collected Information
HucksterRepellent.com collects both non-personal and personal information from its users. The non-personal type of data includes cookies and other internet-specific information. When it comes to personal data, we are unable to collect it if we do not receive the explicit consent of users. Users will receive a notification that informs them of our intentions to collect their personal data and, if they agree to it, they have to express their consent by pressing a button or possible other methods. Only after we receive this approval are we able to collect the data.
The Non-Personal Information We Collect
HucksterRepellent.com collects information of the non-personally identifiable type that is related to browsing and internet navigation patterns. Since it’s strictly non-personal, we cannot use it to discover or reveal the identity of the users or track them down.
Non-personal information examples:
- Information related to the browser;
- Information related to the Internet Service Provider (ISP) – the IP address, for example;
- Information on the browser history of the users and the patterns they follow when they visit our website;
- Information on the most visited websites of the users, usually before they come on our website or after they leave it.
The Personal Information We Collect
We cannot collect any kind of information of the personally identifiable kind without asking the users to give their explicit consent and then receiving it. They will receive a notification informing them of our intentions and also asking for their permission to go on with the data collection. They have to give their explicit consent for us to be able to gather the data. If they do not give it, we cannot store any data without their approval.
Also, we rarely gather information that users might perceive as sensitive or that might lead to their identification. Personal information examples: the first and last name of the users, their address, their email, their phone number, and information on their social media accounts. Also, we might collect some data on their gender and location.
The main purpose of this information is either for statistics or for contact. This way, we seek to make our content more relevant and interesting for our users.

Also, we might allow several third parties to access this information, but this will never happen for monetary benefits. These third parties that will get access to the data include companies that provide different services for us, such as SEO, web hosting, or marketing. They might also allow a small of their employees to get to this data, but they are strictly forbidden from sharing the information outside of their company.
There is also another situation that might force us to share both personal and non-personal information. We will have to offer this data to local or federal authorities if we are obliged by law, court orders, regulations, or subpoenas.
