Your trust matters to Facts.now (“we,” “us,” or “our”). Caring for your privacy is our top priority, and this policy details how information is collected, used, and kept secure when visiting our site. By reading this document, you’ll gain insight into how your personal details are handled, allowing you to make clear, confident decisions about sharing any information with us.
Information We Gather
To enhance user experiences, certain details may be gathered during visits. Information such as browser version, device type, and operating system helps tailor the site for better compatibility. Data related to pages visited, actions taken, and time spent offers insights into how visitors interact with content.
If newsletters or alerts are requested, email addresses provided are stored securely. Submission of queries or feedback through forms involves sharing names, email addresses, or any other details added to messages. Responses to surveys or polls may also include anonymized or demographic information.
Occasionally, optional features such as comments or discussion boards might require account creation. Profiles built for these purposes might include usernames, profile pictures, or preferences chosen during registration.
When permissions are granted, location information may be gathered. This helps in offering region-specific content or ensuring compliance with local regulations. Data shared through social media logins, if utilized, is only what users authorize.
How We Utilize Your Information
Data we collect helps shape your experience on our site. Information like browsing habits allows us to tailor content and make it more relevant. It also helps resolve any technical issues, keeping things running smoothly.
When you share your email address for newsletters or alerts, we use it to send updates, announcements, or important news related to the website. You can always opt out if you’d prefer not to receive these communications.
Messages submitted through our contact forms are reviewed only to address your inquiries or concerns. Any personal details provided in these messages stay private and are used solely for communication purposes.
Sharing Your Information
We never sell your information. However, we do share data with trusted third-party service providers who help us maintain and run the website smoothly. This includes companies that manage hosting, analytics, or other tools that ensure the site operates correctly.
These partners are required to safeguard your data as carefully as we do. They are also contractually bound to use your information solely for purposes related to their service and not for their own marketing or commercial use.
We work only with companies that uphold strong privacy and security standards to ensure your information is handled responsibly.
Cookies & Tracking Technologies
Cookies are small files placed on your device while using our website. These files help remember preferences, like language choice or login status, to make future visits smoother. They allow the site to function efficiently, saving you from re-entering settings or information each time.
We also use cookies for analytics, which helps track how visitors interact with the site. This data lets us understand which pages are most popular and how people navigate through the site. These insights help us improve the user experience over time.
If you’d rather not have cookies stored, your browser settings can be adjusted to block them. While this prevents us from collecting some data, it may affect how certain features of the site perform. You might experience slower load times or miss out on personalized content.

If you’re a California resident, you have specific rights regarding your personal data under California law. Here’s a breakdown of those rights:
- Right to Know:
You can request information about the personal data we collect. This includes details like what data we gather, how we use it, and with whom we share it. - Right to Access:
You may ask to access your personal data. We will provide a copy of the information we’ve collected. - Right to Deletion:
California residents can request the deletion of personal data. After verification, we will remove the information from our records, unless a legal exception applies. - Right to Opt-Out of Data Sharing:

Do Not Track Requests
Some web browsers offer a feature that lets users prevent tracking by websites. These “Do Not Track” (DNT) signals, when enabled, notify websites not to collect or track browsing activity. Currently, our site does not respond to DNT signals. While we value your privacy, we do not alter our data collection practices based on these signals.
Our focus remains on maintaining privacy by using minimal data and implementing strict security measures. Visitors’ data is only collected for essential purposes like improving site performance and delivering relevant content.
Policy Regarding Minors
Protecting young users is a top priority for us. This website is not intended for children under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors.
If you believe your child’s data has been collected unintentionally, please reach out immediately. Parents or guardians can contact us by emailing contact@facts.now. We’ll act swiftly to remove any data and ensure your child’s privacy is respected.
It’s our responsibility to maintain a safe and secure environment for all visitors. If any content or activity seems inappropriate for younger audiences, don’t hesitate to notify us.
Protecting Your Data
Protecting your information is a top priority. Several security practices are in place to ensure its safety:
- Encryption: All sensitive data, including personal information and payment details, is encrypted. This makes it difficult for unauthorized individuals to access it.
- Limited Access: Only trusted, authorized personnel can view or manage your information. Access is strictly controlled based on need.
- Secure Connections: We use secure connections (SSL/TLS) to transfer data, which ensures that any communication between you and our website remains private.
- Firewalls: Our systems are shielded by firewalls that act as barriers, preventing unauthorized access to sensitive data stored on our servers.
- Regular Audits: Regular security checks are performed to identify and address potential vulnerabilities. This helps maintain a high standard of protection against threats.
While these efforts significantly reduce risk, no system is completely invulnerable. As threats evolve, we continue updating security measures to provide the best protection available.

When clicking on a link to another website, we recommend reviewing their privacy policies to understand how they collect, use, and protect your information.
