Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how KB Net (kate-bosworth.net) collects, uses, and protects your information when you visit our website. KB Net is an informational blog that provides market analysis and insights on blockchain, cryptocurrencies, and traditional financial markets. We do not collect personal information through registrations, forms, or databases.
Information We Collect
When you visit KB Net, we automatically collect certain non-personal information through standard web technologies. This includes:
- IP address and geographic location (approximate)
- Browser type and version
- Operating system
- Pages visited and time spent on site
- Referring URLs
- Standard server log data
This information is collected anonymously and is not linked to any individual identity.
How We Use Information
The data we collect is used solely for the following purposes:
- Improving website performance and user experience
- Analyzing traffic patterns to understand reader interests
- Ensuring website security and functionality
- Delivering relevant content and advertising (via third-party services)
We do not use your data for marketing, profiling, or selling personal information.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
KB Net uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us remember your preferences and analyze site usage. We use both session cookies (temporary) and persistent cookies (longer-lasting).
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may limit some website functionality but will not prevent you from accessing content.
Third-Party Services
KB Net uses third-party services to support website operations. These services may collect data independently under their own privacy policies:
- Google Analytics: Used to analyze traffic and user behavior. Google may collect IP addresses and usage data. Learn more at https://policies.google.com/privacy.
- Advertising Networks: We may use ad networks (e.g., Google AdSense) to display relevant ads. These services may use cookies and web beacons to track ad performance and interests. They do not collect personally identifiable information without consent.
- Content Delivery Networks: Services like Cloudflare help secure and speed up our website. They may log IP addresses for security purposes.
We do not share your personal data with third parties beyond what is necessary for these services to function, and we require them to comply with applicable privacy laws.
Data Security
While we take reasonable measures to protect your data, please note that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We implement industry-standard safeguards, including secure servers and encrypted connections (HTTPS), but we cannot guarantee absolute security. All collected data is retained only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined above.
Your Rights
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), California residents have the right to:
- Know what personal information is collected about them
- Request deletion of their personal information
- Opt out of the sale of their personal information
- Not be discriminated against for exercising these rights
Since KB Net does not sell personal information and does not collect personally identifiable data, these rights are largely applicable to data collected by third-party services. You may manage your preferences directly through your browser or via third-party opt-out tools such as the Network Advertising Initiative or Google Ads Settings.
Children's Privacy
KB Net is not directed toward children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately so we can delete it.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of the website after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
