Privacy Policy
Effective date: 21 July 2026IdiomJar ("we", "us", "our") operates the website idiomjar.online. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit, how it is used, and the choices you have. We keep data collection to the minimum a small blog needs.
Information we collect
Information you give us. If you use our contact form, we receive the name, email address and message you submit. If you subscribe to our newsletter, we receive your email address. We use these only to reply to you or to send the newsletter you asked for.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our servers and third-party services may log standard technical data: IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, referring page, pages viewed, and the date and time of your visit. This is used to keep the site running, understand which posts are read, and detect abuse.
How we use information
- To operate, maintain and improve the website and its content.
- To respond to messages you send us through the contact form.
- To send the newsletter to people who requested it, and to let them unsubscribe.
- To understand aggregate traffic patterns — which articles are popular, where readers arrive from.
- To protect the site against spam, abuse and technical problems.
We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by websites you visit. They may be used to remember preferences, measure traffic, and support advertising. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings, and you can set most browsers to refuse cookies entirely — though some parts of websites may not function as intended if you do.
Advertising and Google AdSense
Third-party advertising vendors
We may display advertising served by third-party vendors, including Google. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies (including the DART cookie) enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to our site and/or other sites on the internet.
Users may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Users may also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info or the Network Advertising Initiative. More information about how Google uses data is available in Google's privacy and terms.
Third-party ad networks may also use cookies, web beacons or similar technologies to measure ad performance. We do not control these third-party technologies, and their use is governed by their own privacy policies.
Analytics
We may use analytics services to understand how the site is used — for example, which articles are read most and how visitors arrive. These services may set cookies and collect the technical data described above. The information is used in aggregate and helps us decide what to write next.
Third-party and affiliate links
Our articles link to external websites — dictionaries, archives, reference works — for verification and further reading. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those sites, and we encourage you to read the privacy policy of any website you visit. If we ever include affiliate links, they will be disclosed on the page, as described in our Disclaimer.
Newsletter and email
If you subscribe, we store your email address for the purpose of sending the newsletter. Every email includes an unsubscribe option, and you can also email us to be removed at any time. We do not share subscriber addresses with third parties.
Children's privacy
This website is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
Your rights and choices
- Access and correction — you may ask what personal information we hold about you and request corrections.
- Deletion — you may ask us to delete your contact-form message or newsletter subscription.
- Opt out of marketing — unsubscribe from any newsletter email, or email us directly.
- Cookie controls — manage or block cookies in your browser settings.
Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under laws such as the GDPR or CCPA. To exercise any of these, contact us using the details below.
Data security and retention
We take reasonable measures to protect the information we hold, but no method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure. We keep contact-form messages and subscriber emails only as long as needed for the purpose they were given.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Continued use of the website after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
