Who we are
Network 39 (network39.com) is run by Network 39, based in Ireland. This policy explains what information we collect from visitors, why we collect it, and what choices you have.
If you have any questions, email us at admin@network39.com.
What we collect
We aim to collect only what we need to run Network 39 and understand how people use it. This may include:
- Usage data, such as pages visited, time spent on the site, device and browser type, and general location (country or city level), usually gathered through analytics tools.
- Information you give us directly, such as your name and email address if you contact us or sign up for a newsletter.
- Cookie data, which helps the site remember your preferences and helps us and our partners understand traffic (see "Cookies" below).
We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information, and we do not sell your data to anyone.
Why we collect it
We use this information to:
- Keep the site working properly and fix problems
- Understand which guides and articles are useful, so we can write more of what helps
- Respond to messages or questions you send us
- Show relevant advertising that helps fund the site
- Meet legal or regulatory obligations where relevant
Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Network 39 may use cookies for:
- Essential functions, such as remembering settings
- Analytics, such as [name of analytics tool, for example Google Analytics], to see how visitors use the site
- Advertising, such as [name of ad network, for example Google AdSense], which may use cookies to show ads based on your visits to this and other sites
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may mean some parts of the site do not work as smoothly.
Analytics
We may use tools such as [analytics provider name] to understand visitor numbers and behaviour. These tools typically collect information like IP address (often anonymised or shortened), device type, and pages viewed. This helps us improve Network 39 without identifying you personally.
Advertising
Network 39 may display adverts through third-party networks such as [advertising network name]. These networks may use cookies or similar technologies to show adverts based on your browsing history across different websites. We do not control how these third parties use that data; please check their own privacy policies for details.
Affiliate links
Some links on Network 39 are affiliate links. If you click through and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This does not affect the price you pay, and it does not influence our genuine recommendations. Affiliate partners may use their own cookies to track referrals.
Third parties
We may share limited data with trusted third parties who help us run Network 39, including analytics providers, advertising networks, and email or hosting services. These providers only use data as needed to provide their service, and are expected to handle it securely.
We do not sell your personal data to anyone.
Your rights
If you are in the UK or EU, data protection law (UK GDPR or EU GDPR) gives you certain rights over your personal data, including the right to:
- Know what data we hold about you
- Ask us to correct or delete it
- Ask us to restrict or object to how we use it
- Request a copy of your data in a portable format
- Withdraw consent at any time, where we rely on consent
To exercise any of these rights, email admin@network39.com. We will respond as promptly as we can.
If you are not satisfied with how we handle your data, you also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.
Children's privacy
Network 39 is not aimed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
