Privacy Policy

Introduction

DATAMETA LAB ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected when you visit datametalab.com, how it is used, which third parties are involved, and the choices you have.

Information We Collect

• Information you give us: your name, email address and message when you use our contact form.
• Usage data: information about how you use the website, such as pages visited, time on page, approximate location (country or city), device and browser type, and the referring page.
• Server logs: our hosting provider automatically records standard request data, including IP address, browser, the page requested and the time of the request, for security and to keep the site running.
• Cookies and similar technologies: small files stored by your browser, described in detail below.

How We Use Your Information

• To reply to your enquiries and provide support.
• To understand how the website is used and improve it.
• To show advertising that helps fund the website (see below).
• To protect the website against spam, abuse and security threats.

We never send unsolicited marketing emails, and we do not sell, trade or rent your personal information.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. This website uses:

• Analytics cookies set by Google Analytics, to count visits and see which pages are used.
• Advertising cookies set by Google and its partners, to serve, personalise and measure ads.
• Consent cookies, to remember the choice you made in our cookie consent message.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time. Blocking them does not stop the website from working.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to understand how visitors use the website. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information such as the pages you visit and how long you stay. This information is processed by Google on our behalf. You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Advertising and Google AdSense

This website uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. In connection with these ads:

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
• You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at www.aboutads.info.

If you opt out, you will still see ads, but they will not be personalised. For more on how Google uses data from websites that use its services, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

Your Consent Choices

If you visit from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, we ask for your consent before any non-essential cookies are used, through a consent message provided by Google, a Google-certified consent management platform. Until you make a choice, analytics and advertising cookies are not set. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the privacy settings link shown on the page after you have made your choice.

If you are a California resident, you may opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information for targeted advertising through the same consent controls, or through Google Ads Settings as described above.

Service Providers

We share information only with service providers that help us run the website, and only for that purpose:

• Google LLC: website analytics (Google Analytics), advertising (Google AdSense) and consent management. Google Privacy Policy.
• Web3Forms: delivers messages sent through our contact form to our inbox. Web3Forms Privacy Policy.
• Our hosting provider: stores the website files and server logs.

Some of these providers process data outside your country, including in the United States. Where required, they rely on appropriate safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

Data Retention

Contact form messages are kept only as long as needed to deal with your enquiry and any follow-up. Google Analytics data is kept for the retention period set in our Analytics account, after which it is deleted automatically.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Subsidiary Websites

All websites that operate under the DATAMETA LAB umbrella maintain their own independent identities, privacy practices, and data handling policies. This Privacy Policy applies to DATAMETA LAB (datametalab.com) only. Each subsidiary website has its own privacy policy and contact channels. DATAMETA LAB will not respond to privacy inquiries related to those platforms. Please contact them directly through their respective websites for any privacy-related concerns.

Third-Party Links

Our website contains links to other websites, including our own platforms and external sources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these sites. We encourage you to read their privacy policies before providing any personal information.

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• Request access to the personal data we hold about you.
• Request correction of any inaccurate information.
• Request deletion of your personal data (subject to legal obligations).
• Object to or restrict certain processing.
• Withdraw consent at any time, where processing is based on consent.
• Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at the address below.

Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed to individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have collected personal data from a child, we will take steps to delete such information.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
