Welcome to NerdBeach (“NB,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). Your privacy matters to us – because let’s be honest, nobody enjoys feeling like their data is being followed around the internet like a clingy sidekick.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what choices you have when you visit our website.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information in a few different ways, depending on how you interact with NerdBeach.
a. Information You Provide Voluntarily
You may provide personal information when you:
- Subscribe to a newsletter
- Contact us via email or forms
- Leave comments (if enabled)
This may include your name, email address, or any information you choose to share.
b. Automatically Collected Information
When you visit NerdBeach, certain information is collected automatically, such as:
- IP address
- Browser type and version
- Device type
- Pages you visit and time spent on them
- Referring website
This helps us understand how people use the site (and which articles are secretly everyone’s favorite).
c. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to:
- Improve site performance
- Remember user preferences
- Analyze traffic and usage
You can disable cookies in your browser settings if you prefer – but some parts of the site may not work as smoothly.
Alternatively, you can control some 3rd party cookies by using a privacy enhancement platform such as optout.aboutads.info or youronlinechoices.com.
We use Google Analytics to collect page views, but we have it set to anonymize, so you cannot see their IP addresses. Google has their own Privacy Policy that you can read here. If you would like to opt-out of tracking by Google Analytics, visit the Google Analytics opt-out page.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use collected information to:
- Operate and maintain the website
- Improve content and user experience
- Respond to inquiries or messages
- Send newsletters or updates (if you’ve subscribed)
- Monitor and analyze usage trends
We do not sell your personal information. Ever. Not even for coffee money.
3. Third-Party Services
NerdBeach may use third-party services to help operate the site, including:
- Analytics tools (such as Google Analytics)
- Advertising networks (if applicable)
- Email marketing platforms
These services may collect information in accordance with their own privacy policies.
4. Advertising and Affiliate Links
Some pages on NerdBeach may contain:
- Advertisements
- Affiliate links
If you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission – at no extra cost to you.
These third parties may use cookies or tracking technologies to serve ads or measure performance.

To learn more about cookies visit allaboutcookies.org.
5. Data Protection
We take reasonable measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.
In plain English: we do our best, but the internet is still the internet.
6. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to:
- Access the personal data we have about you

If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us and we will promptly remove it.
8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.
When we do, we’ll update the “Last Updated” date at the top. (No dramatic announcements, but we promise not to sneak anything weird in.)
