Effective Date: 1 November 2024

At HotspotAds, we prioritize user privacy and are committed to ensuring transparency about the data we collect and how we use it. This Privacy Policy outlines our practices in compliance with the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) of South Africa and Google AdSense requirements.

1. Information Collection

We do not collect any personal information from users. Our website consists of two pages:

  • Landing Page: A page users see after connecting to our hotspots, displaying advertisements, including affiliate and sponsored content.
  • Privacy Policy Page: A page providing details on our data practices.

2. Use of Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies, including Google Analytics, to analyze traffic and enhance user experience. These technologies collect anonymous data such as:

  • Usage Data: Information such as the device IP address, browser type, and interactions with our landing page.
  • Cookies: Small files stored on users’ devices that help improve site functionality and serve relevant ads.

3. How We Use Data

While we do not collect personal information directly, we use anonymous data collected by Google Analytics to:

  • Understand how users interact with our site.
  • Optimize site performance and user experience.
  • Support display advertising via third-party vendors, including Google AdSense.

4. Third-Party Services

We use Google Analytics, which may use cookies to gather data for analytical purposes. Users can opt-out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

5. Advertisements and Third-Party Links

Our landing page displays ads provided by third-party vendors. These vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on users’ prior interactions with our site or other sites on the Internet. Users can control ad personalization by visiting Google Ad Settings.

6. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect the data collected through analytics and ensure that it is not misused or accessed without authorization.

7. User Rights and Choices

Since we do not collect personal information, users are primarily subject to the data policies of third-party services such as Google Analytics and Google AdSense. Users can control the use of cookies through their browser settings.
