  • Usage information: Pages visited, referring websites, interaction data, and general navigation patterns.

  • Cookie information: Identifiers and preferences stored through cookies or similar technologies, where applicable.

We do not require visitors to provide banking passwords, credit card security codes, or sensitive financial credentials to read our articles.

3. How We Use Information

Information may be processed for purposes including:

  • Operating and maintaining the website.
  • Improving content, navigation, and user experience.
  • Responding to inquiries and support requests.
  • Protecting the website against fraud, spam, and unauthorized activity.
  • Measuring website performance and audience engagement.
  • Displaying and measuring advertising, where applicable.
  • Complying with applicable legal obligations.

4. Legal Bases for Processing

Where required by applicable data protection legislation, we process personal information on an appropriate legal basis, which may include consent, legitimate interests, compliance with legal obligations, or taking steps requested by users.

The applicable legal basis depends on the type of information, the processing purpose, and the laws governing the relevant activity.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

AquaHow may use cookies and similar technologies to support website functionality, remember preferences, understand traffic, and facilitate advertising.

These technologies may include:

  • Essential cookies: Support website functionality and security.
  • Analytics cookies: Help us understand website usage and performance.
  • Advertising cookies: May be used by advertising partners to deliver, measure, or personalize advertisements.

Where legally required, non-essential cookies and similar technologies will be used only after the necessary consent has been obtained.

Users may manage cookies through browser settings and, where available, through the website’s consent management tools.

6. Advertising and Google Services

AquaHow may use third-party advertising services, including Google AdSense.

If these services are enabled, Google and its advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to display and measure advertisements, subject to applicable laws and user choices.

Advertising may be personalized or non-personalized depending on the user’s location, consent preferences, and the configuration of the advertising services.

Users can learn more about Google’s advertising practices at Google Advertising Technologies.

Google advertising preferences may be managed through My Ad Center.

7. Analytics Services

We may use analytics services to understand how visitors interact with our content.

When enabled, these services may process information such as page visits, device characteristics, approximate geographic location, and interaction events.

Analytics technologies will be configured and used in accordance with applicable privacy requirements.

8. Third-Party Websites

Our articles may contain links to banks, insurance companies, government agencies, financial institutions, and other external websites.

These third parties operate independently and may have their own privacy policies, cookies, and data processing practices.

We encourage visitors to review the privacy policies of external websites before submitting personal information.

9. Data Sharing

We may share information with service providers that support website hosting, security, analytics, advertising, and technical operations, where necessary and permitted by law.

We may also disclose information when required to comply with legal obligations or valid requests from competent authorities.

We do not sell personal information directly to data brokers. Certain advertising-related disclosures may nevertheless qualify as a “sale” or “sharing” under specific privacy laws, depending on the technologies used.

10. International Data Transfers

Because AquaHow serves an international audience and may rely on service providers operating in different countries, personal information may be processed outside the visitor’s country of residence.

Where applicable, we seek to implement appropriate safeguards for international data transfers in accordance with relevant legal requirements.

11. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, subject to applicable legal, security, and operational requirements.

Retention periods may vary depending on the category of information and the services involved.

12. Data Security

We seek to implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, alteration, and misuse.

However, no internet-based service or electronic storage system can guarantee absolute security.

13. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to:

  • Request access to personal information.
  • Request correction of inaccurate information.
  • Request deletion of certain personal information.
  • Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
  • Object to or restrict certain processing activities.
  • Request data portability where applicable.
  • Opt out of certain advertising-related data uses where legally available.

Residents of jurisdictions with specific privacy legislation, including certain U.S. states, Brazil, the European Economic Area, and the United Kingdom, may have additional rights.

14. Children’s Privacy

AquaHow is intended for a general audience and is not directed toward children under the age of 13.

We do not knowingly request personal information directly from children under 13. If we become aware that such information has been collected inappropriately, we will take reasonable steps to address the situation.
