Privacy Policy
Última actualización:
At quicktipss we value the privacy of our readers as much as they do. We appreciate the trust you place in us and we are committed to providing the best possible experience while keeping your personal information safe. This Policy describes what data we collect, why, how we protect it, how long we keep it, and what rights you have. By using the site you accept the practices described here.
How we protect information
We have implemented technical and organizational safeguards to protect personal information when you submit it to our site. We apply encryption in transit (HTTPS), role-based access control, immutable audit logs, and least-privilege policies. We follow the security standards used by professional sites worldwide, both during transmission and at rest. That said, no method of transmission or electronic storage is completely secure: while we use the best commercially acceptable methods to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Information we collect and use
We collect information in two ways: information you provide directly (for example, your email when you reach out via the contact form) and technical information automatically gathered while you browse (visited pages, time on site, IP address used only for approximate geolocation and fraud prevention, device and browser type, operating system, language, referrer page, visited URL, and timestamp). We do not collect sensitive data (race, religion, health, sexual orientation, etc.) unless you deliberately submit it. The information you provide is used only for the purposes described in this document: delivering and improving editorial content, handling your requests, and complying with applicable legal obligations.
Cookies and technologies we use
When you access the site we ask for your consent before storing non-essential cookies on your device. We use the following services and technologies that may require them: (a) First-party analytics — a server-side system we built ourselves that measures aggregate traffic via a HttpOnly first-party cookie. We do not use Google Analytics or third-party tools for this purpose, so your navigation data does not leave our infrastructure. (b) Google AdSense — we use AdSense as our advertising network. Google and its partners may place cookies on your device to serve ads based on your previous visits to this site or others, provided you have given consent. You can disable personalized advertising at https://www.google.com/settings/ads or https://www.aboutads.info/choices/, and read more about Googles practices at https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads. We do not use OneSignal, Google DoubleClick for Publishers, social login (Facebook/Google), or third-party social buttons with tracking.
Demographic and aggregate information
We may derive aggregate demographic information (country, language, device type) from the technical data we collect. This information is not linked to your personal identity and is used only to understand audience trends and improve content. Beyond what is described in this Policy, quicktipss does not sell or rent user data to third parties for any reason. You are the sole owner of your data and may request its modification or deletion at any time.
Your preferences and choices
You have full control over the personal information you share with us and you may, at any time, request that it be removed for the purposes described above. If you shared your contact email, you can opt out of receiving communications from us using the unsubscribe link in any message. You may also withdraw your consent regarding data processing through your browsers privacy settings (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge all offer controls to view and delete cookies). If you wish to review or delete information you previously shared, you can contact us via email. We respond personally, providing the available record for your review and confirming whether you wish to keep, modify, or delete it. We aim to respond as quickly as possible, typically within 1 to 20 business days.
Your legal rights
You can exercise your rights of access, rectification, deletion, objection, restriction, and data portability by writing to the contact address at the end of this document. If you reside in the European Union or the United Kingdom, your GDPR rights apply. If you reside in California (CCPA/CPRA), Mexico (LFPDPPP), Colombia (Ley 1581 of 2012), Argentina (Ley 25.326), or any other jurisdiction granting additional rights, those rights also apply. You have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection authority in your country of residence.
Sharing and disclosure
We share strictly necessary information only with: (a) infrastructure providers — Vercel for hosting and Supabase for the database, both bound by contractual confidentiality obligations; (b) Google AdSense as our advertising network; (c) legal authorities or government agencies when required by law — subpoenas, court orders, audits, or circumstances where it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activity, fraud, potential threats to physical safety, violations of our terms of use, or any other reason required by law.
Email communication
If you provide us with your contact email, we may use it to reply to your requests and, if you explicitly opt in, to send periodic informational communication (newsletters, editorial updates). You can unsubscribe at any time via the link included in each message or by writing to the contact address at the end of this document.
Third-party links
This Policy applies to all the information you share on our site. However, when you click links to third-party sites, you will be interacting with an operator that runs under its own privacy and security policies. The information collected by that third party will be governed by their internal policies, including the use of cookies and other technologies. We recommend reading the privacy policy of any external site before using it.
Information collection technologies
To better serve our readers and improve site performance, we use: (a) Cookies — small files stored on your device that personalize your experience, reduce load times, and measure aggregate browsing behavior. (b) Log files — we record IP addresses and HTTP requests to detect abuse, debug errors, and meet security obligations. (c) Technical identifiers similar to "clear gifs" or web beacons — only in emails sent with consent, to evaluate communication effectiveness. These identifiers are not tied to personally identifiable information.
Privacy of children under 13
This site is not designed to be used by children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from visitors under the age of 13. If you suspect that a visitor under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately and we will delete it.
Data breach procedure
We are committed to safeguarding the data we collect and using it only for the purposes described in this Policy. If for any reason we detect a data leak or loss, we will publish a notice on the site and, where technically possible, reach out directly to affected users to transparently inform them of the event and the information involved, within the timeframes required by applicable regulation.
Visitors outside our country of operation
quicktipss operates from Colombia and produces content for Spanish-speaking audiences (Mexico, Argentina, Colombia) and for the United States in English. We know many readers visit us from other countries. Data protection laws vary across jurisdictions and not all are as comprehensive as the laws of your country of residence. By visiting the site or using our services, you acknowledge and accept that your information may be transferred to our infrastructure and to the providers with whom we share it as described in this Policy, regardless of the laws of your country of origin. For visitors from the European Union and the United Kingdom, we are committed to following the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Data retention
We retain aggregate analytics data for up to 26 months. Identifiable data (your contact email if you write to us) is retained while the request is active, plus the applicable legal statute of limitations. After these periods, data is deleted or irreversibly anonymized.
User consent
By using this site you give your consent to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of it, please do not use the site. By accessing content, forms, or any other tool on the site, you authorize us to use the collected information as described in this document.
Changes to this Policy
If we make changes to this Policy, we will publish them on this page and update the date shown at the top. We recommend reviewing this document each time you use the site to stay aware of any changes in our practices. Continued use of the site after an update means you acknowledge and accept the changes.
