Ultimate Tech Hive (“we”, “the site”) is operated from the Netherlands. This page explains what data we collect and what happens to it.
What we collect
If you just read the site: your browser sends us standard technical information, including your IP address, browser type, device type and the pages you visited. Our host, Bluehost, records this in server logs.
If you use the contact form: we receive your name, email address and message. We use it to reply to you and nothing else. We don’t add you to any mailing list.
If you leave a comment: we receive your name, email address, comment and IP address. Comments are checked for spam by Akismet.
Cookies
We use cookies for 2 reasons:
- Site function. Remembering that you’ve dismissed a notice, keeping you logged in if you have an account.
- Advertising. Google AdSense and its partners set cookies to show ads and measure whether those ads worked.
You can turn cookies off in your browser settings. The site will still work.
Advertising
We display ads through Google AdSense. Google and its advertising partners use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this and other websites.
You can opt out of personalised advertising at google.com/settings/ads, or manage your choices for participating vendors at youronlinechoices.eu.
We do not run pop-up ads, full-screen ads or auto-playing video ads.
Affiliate links
Some articles contain affiliate links. If you buy something through one, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. It never changes what we recommend. Affiliate links are marked in the article.
Your rights under GDPR
You can ask us to show you what data we hold about you, correct it, delete it, or stop processing it. Email privacy@ultimatetechhive.com and we’ll respond within 30 days.
If you’re unhappy with how we’ve handled your data, you can complain to the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens) at autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl.
How long we keep things
Contact form messages: 12 months. Comments: indefinitely, unless you ask us to remove them. Server logs: as long as Bluehost retains them under their own policy.
Children
This site isn’t aimed at children under 16 and we don’t knowingly collect their data.
Changes
If this policy changes, we’ll update the date at the top.
