Privacy Policy – Symbology Wiki

Last updated: October 24, 2025

Welcome to Symbology.Wiki (the “Site”). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share and protect your information when you visit the Site, including our use of advertising via Google AdSense and analytics via Google Analytics.

1.  Information We Collect

a. Visitor – Automatically collected information

When you visit the Site, we and our service providers may automatically collect certain technical information, including your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device type, the pages you visited, the date/time of your visit, referral source (how you arrived), and other similar usage data (“Usage Data”). This is collected via cookies, log-files and similar technologies.

b. Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies (for example web beacons) to store certain information. You can set your browser to refuse cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. Please note that if you disable cookies, some features of the Site may not function properly.

c. Advertising and analytics data

Because we use Google AdSense and Google Analytics, additional data may be collected and processed as follows:

• Google AdSense: Google may collect and use device identifiers, cookie identifiers, and other information to serve ads on our Site, to personalise ads, and to measure ad performance.

• Google Analytics: We (and Google) use Google Analytics to track and analyse visitor behaviour on the Site (e.g., number of visitors, pages visited, time spent, bounce rate, demographics and interests reports). Google may combine the data collected from the Site with data they have from other sources.

  d. Optional submission of personal data

  If you subscribe to our monthly newsletter or contact us (via email, contact form, etc.), we may collect the personal information you voluntarily provide (such as your name, email address and any message content).

2.  How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• To operate, maintain and improve the Site.

• To understand how users access and use the Site (through Google Analytics).

• To serve and manage advertising (via Google AdSense) and measure its effectiveness.

• To send you newsletters or respond to your enquiries (if you have opted-in).

• To maintain security and detect or prevent fraud or abuse of the Site.

3.  Legal Basis for Processing (where applicable)

Depending on your jurisdiction, our use of your data is based on one or more of the following: your consent, performance of a contract (e.g., providing you with the newsletter), our legitimate interests (such as improving our Site, serving relevant ads), or compliance with legal obligations.

4.  Sharing and Disclosure of Your Information

We may share information as follows:

• With service providers and platforms (for example Google) that support our advertising and analytics; they may process data on our behalf.

• With third-parties when required by law or to protect our rights, property or safety of our users or others.

• In aggregated or anonymised form so that individuals cannot be identified (e.g., analytics reports showing visitor trends).

5.  Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location you may have certain rights in respect of your personal data, such as:

• The right to access the personal data we hold about you.

• The right to rectify inaccurate or incomplete data.

• The right to erase or restrict processing of your data.

• The right to object to our processing (for example, objection to personalised advertising).

• The right to data portability (in certain cases).

  You may also control cookies via your browser settings and opt-out of Google Analytics via the Google analytics opt-out browser add-on.

  For personalised advertising, you may opt-out of Google’s personalised ads via your Google account settings or via the Ad Settings page.

6.  Advertising Services

We use Google AdSense to display ads on the Site. AdSense uses cookies, web beacons and similar technologies to serve ads based on a user’s previous visits to the Site and/or other websites. You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings.

Please note that some of the ad content served may come from third-party advertisers and we have no control over their cookies or data-collection practices; you should review those advertisers’ own privacy policies.

7.  Google Analytics

We have implemented Google Analytics on the Site to better understand how visitors use the Site. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit, what pages they visit, and what other sites they used prior to coming to the Site. We only use the information to improve the Site and our content. Google may also use the data collected to contextualise and personalise the ads of its own advertising network. For more information on how Google processes data for analytics, see Google’s Privacy & Terms.

You may disable Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on or by refusing cookies.

8.  Data Retention

We will retain your personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, or as needed to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements. Usage Data (such as analytics or log-data) may be retained for a longer period for statistical purposes but will be anonymised.

9.  International Data Transfers

If you are visiting the Site from outside the country in which the Site operator is based, your personal data may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in a country other than your own. By using the Site you consent to such transfers. We will take appropriate safeguards to protect your data in accordance with applicable law.

10.  Security

We take reasonable appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, unlawful use, disclosure, alteration or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or of electronic storage is completely secure and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11.  Links to Other Websites

The Site may contain links to other websites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third-party’s site. We strongly advise you to review the privacy policy of every site you visit. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy practices or policies of any third-party sites.

12.  Children’s Privacy

The Site is not directed to children under the age of 16 (or applicable age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under that age. If you believe we have collected information from a child under that age, please contact us and we will take steps to delete such data.

13.  Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version on the Site and update the “Last updated” date at the top. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about our data practices.
