Last updated: Oct 28, 2026
This policy describes how DZBird handles information at www.dzbird.com.
Information collected
When you use DZBird, we and our service providers may collect and store technical and usage information, including your IP address, browser and device details, referring pages, pages visited, timestamps, and cookie or device identifiers. This information supports site operation, security, analytics, and advertising.
Contact messages
We use SketchForms to handle contact messages and Cloudflare Turnstile to help prevent spam. These services receive technical information, such as your IP address and browser details, when you visit the contact page, even if you don’t send a message.
Contact messages include the name and email address you choose to provide, your reason for contacting us, and your message. SketchForms processes and stores these details and shares them with DZBird to handle your inquiry. See the SketchForms privacy policy (opens in a new tab) and Cloudflare privacy policy (opens in a new tab) for information about their handling of personal data.
Usage and interactions
We may record and store interactions with DZBird, including page views, link clicks, searches, use of interactive features, and information you enter or submit through those features. Interaction records may include timestamps and session or device identifiers, and may be associated with other usage information.
Search terms can appear in the page URL. Loading, bookmarking, or sharing that URL can also expose the terms to your browser history, service providers, or someone receiving the link.
Cookies, analytics, and advertising
We and our service providers may use cookies, local storage, pixels, and similar technologies to remember preferences, understand readership and feature use, measure performance, detect misuse, and deliver or measure advertising.
Advertising partners may use identifiers and activity from this site and other services to select ads, limit repeated ads, and measure their effectiveness. Analytics services may process usage and interaction records to help us understand how readers use DZBird. We use Google Analytics, which uses cookies. It runs only if you accept cookies, and you can change your choice with Cookie settings at the bottom of any page. See how Google uses this data (opens in a new tab).
Where the law requires your consent, reading this policy or using DZBird does not, by itself, count as giving it.
Hosting and external sites
DZBird is hosted on Cloudflare. Cloudflare’s handling of network and service information is described in its privacy policy (opens in a new tab).
Links to other sites take you to services with their own privacy practices. Advertising and affiliate links may involve identifiers or tracking used by the provider to measure referrals, purchases, or campaign performance. Our affiliate disclosure explains these commercial relationships.
How information is used and shared
We may use information to operate and improve DZBird, understand readership, develop and evaluate interactive features, respond to inquiries, investigate corrections, maintain security, measure advertising and affiliate activity, and meet legal obligations.
Information may be shared with hosting, form, analytics, advertising, and affiliate providers for these purposes. Providers may process information under their own privacy policies as well as their arrangements with DZBird. Information may also be disclosed when required by law or needed to protect rights, security, or the integrity of the service.
Retention
How long we keep information depends on what it is, why we need it, and any security or legal requirements. We may keep usage and interaction records to understand and improve the site, and messages to respond to your inquiry and meet related obligations. Our service providers also apply their own retention policies to the records they hold.
Your choices
You can manage cookies, site storage, and history in your browser settings. Blocking or deleting cookies may affect site features and does not necessarily prevent all collection of technical information.
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal information, restrict or object to certain processing, withdraw consent, or opt out of certain advertising-related uses or sharing. For questions or requests, use the contact page and choose Privacy as the reason. We may need information to verify and respond to a request.
Security and updates
Reasonable measures are taken to protect information, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. The date above identifies this policy’s latest revision.
