Last updated: September 2, 2026. This policy explains how Helpful Info Base handles information when you visit helpfulinfobase.com.
Information collected automatically
Our hosting provider, WordPress.com, and services operated through Jetpack may receive technical information such as your IP address, browser and device type, referring page, pages requested, timestamps, and security or performance logs. We use this information to operate, protect, and understand the site.
Information you choose to provide
If you contact us or submit a form, we receive the information you enter, such as your name, email address, and message. We use it to answer the request, prevent abuse, and keep necessary records. The site does not offer public comments.
Cookies and consent choices
Necessary storage supports security, basic site functions, and your saved privacy choice. Optional analytics and advertising services remain disabled through our site controls unless you choose to enable them. You can reopen Cookie settings from the footer and change your choice.
Google advertising
If advertising is active and you consent where required, Google and its partners may use cookies, IP addresses, web beacons, or other identifiers to deliver, limit, personalize, and measure ads; detect fraud; and produce reporting. Ad selection may use information about visits to this and other sites. Learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services and manage personalization in Google’s ad settings.
For visitors in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and Switzerland, personalized advertising will not be served unless the required consent signals are available through a Google-certified consent management platform. Rejecting optional advertising does not block access to our articles.
Analytics
If you enable analytics, WordPress.com, Jetpack, or Google measurement services may process page views, device information, approximate location derived from IP address, referral information, and interactions so we can understand readership and improve the site.
Embedded content and external links
Articles may link to government agencies, manufacturers, retailers, news organizations, and other websites. Those sites have their own privacy practices. Embedded third-party content, if used, may behave as though you visited the provider directly.
Retention, disclosure, and security
We retain information only as long as reasonably needed for the purpose collected, legal obligations, security, and dispute prevention. Service providers may process data on our behalf. We may disclose information when required by law, to protect rights or safety, or during a legitimate transfer of the site. No internet service can promise absolute security.
Your choices and rights
You may reject optional cookies, change your saved choice, unsubscribe from messages, or contact us about access, correction, deletion, objection, or other privacy rights that apply where you live. Some records may be retained when law or security requires it.
Children
Helpful Info Base is a general-audience publication and is not directed to children under 13. Please contact us if you believe a child submitted personal information.
Contact
Questions or privacy requests can be sent through our Contact page. We may update this policy as the site or its service providers change; the date above identifies the latest revision.
