Overview
At MinimalistRig ("we", "us", "our"), accessible from https://minimalistrig.com, the privacy of our visitors is one of our main priorities. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and the choices and rights you have. By using our website, you consent to this Privacy Policy.
Information We Collect
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, we automatically receive certain technical information when you visit, including your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, the pages you view, the date and time of your visit, time spent on pages, and the referring website. This information is collected through server log files and analytics tools and is used in aggregate to understand how visitors use the site. It is not linked to anything personally identifiable.
Information you provide voluntarily
If you leave a comment, subscribe to our newsletter, or contact us through the contact form or email, we collect the information you provide (such as your name and email address). We use it only for the purpose it was provided — to display your comment, deliver the newsletter, or respond to your message.
How We Use Your Information
- Operate, maintain, and improve the website and its content
- Respond to your comments, questions, and requests
- Send the email newsletter you subscribed to (you can unsubscribe at any time via the link in every email)
- Measure site performance and understand which content is most useful
- Detect, prevent, and address technical or security issues
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.
Advertising — Google AdSense and Third-Party Vendors
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on this website. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- Alternatively, you can opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices.

Third-party ad servers or ad networks use technologies such as cookies, JavaScript, and web beacons in the advertisements that appear on this site. They automatically receive your IP address when this occurs. We have no access to or control over the cookies used by third-party advertisers.
Cookies
This site uses cookies for session management, remembering your preferences, analytics, and advertising. For a detailed explanation of the cookies we use and how to manage them, please see our Cookie Policy. Where required by law, we ask for your consent before setting non-essential cookies, and you can change your choice at any time.
Analytics
We may use privacy-focused, first-party analytics and/or tools such as Google Analytics to understand site traffic in aggregate. These tools may set their own cookies and are governed by their own privacy policies. IP addresses are processed for analytics in truncated/anonymized form wherever possible.
Data Retention
We keep personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described above. Newsletter data is kept until you unsubscribe. Comments remain published until you request their removal. Server logs are rotated automatically.
Your Rights (GDPR & CCPA)
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to: access the personal data we hold about you; request correction or deletion; object to or restrict processing; receive your data in a portable format; and withdraw consent at any time. California residents additionally have the right to know what personal information is collected and to opt out of its sale — we do not sell personal information.
