Privacy Policy

At RateMyBeard.se, we take your privacy seriously. This policy explains how we handle cookies, local storage, and any data collected through our website. We're committed to keeping your beard secrets safe.

Cookies & Local Storage

RateMyBeard.se uses cookies and local storage to keep the Beard Fortune Teller running smoothly and to improve your experience. These technologies help us remember your cookie preferences and store your generated prophecies locally in your browser.

Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us remember your settings and preferences. Local storage allows us to save your generated prophecies directly in your browser, so you can access them later without needing to generate them again.

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our site. Google may use cookies to personalize ads based on your browsing history and interests. You can control ad personalization through your Google account settings.

By using RateMyBeard.se, you consent to the use of cookies and local storage as described in this policy. You can choose to accept all cookies, or only essential cookies, through our cookie consent banner.

What We Do Not Collect

We do not collect personal information such as names, email addresses, or phone numbers. The Beard Fortune Teller operates entirely in your browser – all fortune generation happens locally on your device.

We do not require you to create an account or provide any personal details to use our services. The information you enter into the fortune teller (name, age, beard length) is used only to generate your prophecy and is not stored on our servers.

We do not track your browsing behavior across other websites. We only use analytics to understand how visitors use RateMyBeard.se, which helps us improve the site's functionality and user experience.

Generated prophecies may be saved to our archive for display purposes, but this is done anonymously. We do not link archived prophecies to any personal information or user accounts.

Third-Party Services

RateMyBeard.se uses Google AdSense for advertising. Google may collect information about your visits to our site and other websites to provide personalized advertisements.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to our site and other sites on the Internet. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ad Settings.

We also use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website. This helps us improve the site's performance and user experience. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect anonymous usage data.

These third-party services have their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review Google's Privacy Policy to understand how they handle your data.

Data Security

Since we don't collect personal information, there's minimal data to secure. All fortune generation happens in your browser, and any data stored locally (like your cookie preferences) remains on your device.

We use standard security practices to protect our website and ensure a safe browsing experience. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Rights

You have the right to control cookies through your browser settings. You can delete cookies and local storage data at any time through your browser's privacy settings.

You can also choose to disable cookies entirely, though this may affect the functionality of some features on RateMyBeard.se. The Beard Fortune Teller will still work, but some preferences may not be saved.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We'll notify you of any significant changes by updating the "Last Updated" date at the bottom of this page.

Your continued use of RateMyBeard.se after any changes to this policy constitutes acceptance of those changes. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your privacy.
