We (BotGrind, also referred to as "we," "our," or "us") value the privacy and personal data of all the people who come to our site or utilize or engage with our platform at botgrind.blogspot.com (the Site). This Privacy Policy describes the type of data we gather, how we utilize it, and whom we share it with, as well as your rights regarding your personal data.
This Policy governs any visitors, subscribers, and registered users of BotGrind, irrespective of location. By using or visiting our Site, you are aware that you have read, comprehended, and accepted the terms of this Privacy Policy.
The present document is geared towards adhering to the existing world privacy laws, such as but not limited to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that applies to the users in the European Economic Area (EEA); the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) that applies to the residents of California (USA); and the advertising data guidelines as implemented by Google AdSense and the DART Cookie system.
Unless you are in agreement with some aspect of this policy, then it is recommended that you immediately stop using the site.
2. Information We Collect
The information obtained by BotGrind comes from two main sources, which include information you feed it with and the one it obtains automatically as you use the Site.

Email address (deliver newsletter, responses, and account information)
Professional details (job title, industry, or company name, provided voluntarily)
User-created content (reviews, feedback, audit posts, or recommendations of tools that you post on the Site)
We gather the least amount of information that is required towards the specified purpose. You do not always need to give out more information than is required by the particular interaction.

2.3 Cookies and Tracking Technologies.
BotGrind makes use of cookies, a tiny text file on your computer, to improve the functionality of our sites and to store your preferences and our advertising infrastructure.
We use the following types of cookies:
Productive Necessary Cookies: It is necessary to have them on the Site in order to be able to operate it. Without compromising core functionality, these cannot be disabled.
Analytics Cookies: They are employed to learn how the visitors navigate the site (pages they visit, bouncing, duration of stay). This is what we use Google Analytics for.
Advertising Cookies: Advertising partners, such as Google AdSense, use this advertising cookie to deliver relevant advertisements.

3. Google AdSense and DART cookie.
Google AdSense is an advertisement program run by Google LLC, which BotGrind is part of. The DoubleClick DART cookie is used by Google to deliver the advertisements to their users according to the websites they visit on the internet, including BotGrind.
The DART Cookie Does What:
The DART cookie helps Google to show you interest-based advertisements. It achieves this by monitoring your activities on websites that are part of the Google display advertising network so that the advertiser can display ads that are more appropriate to your tastes.
What BotGrind does not control:
BotGrind does not access or have control over the cookies and tracking technologies of Google AdSense. The collection and use of data by Google through the DART cookie is under the Privacy Policy of Google, and it can be read at policies.google.com/privacy.
How to Opt Out:
Users who do not want the DART Cookie to monitor their activities are able to opt out at any time by going to the Google Ad Settings page at adssettings.google.com or by using the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out tool at optout.networkadvertising.org.
To avoid ad targeting based on interests, choose not to track you with the DART cookie, but not using BotGrind will not impact your usage.
4. Data Sharing and Third-Party Advertising Partners.
In addition to Google AdSense, BotGrind can collaborate with other third-party advertisers and analytics. These partners can gather data independently on your interactions with the site using cookies, web beacons, and the like.
Our existing types of third-party data partners are:
Analytics providers (Google Analytics, Cloudflare Web Analytics)
Email marketing applications (to distribute newsletters and to monitor the open rates)
Affiliate tracking networks (to credit affiliated traffic in revealed affiliate relationships)
We do not sell your personal information to a third party. Information exchanged with partners is only provided to the extent that it is necessary to the service they are offering, and all partners have a contractual responsibility to process data according to the relevant privacy law.
BotGrind does not disclose personal information to the government unless necessitated by law or legitimate legal process.
