This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and share your data when you use our website. It also covers your rights under various laws and how we comply with them. Please take a moment to read this carefully.

2. What Data We Collect
When you visit EasyBusinessAdvice.com, we may collect:
- Personal Data: Basics like your IP address, browser type, device details, and general location (guessed from your IP).
- Usage Data: How you use our site—like pages you visit, time spent, and clicks—tracked with cookies and analytics tools.
- Social Media Data: If you use social media features (e.g., sharing a post), those platforms might collect info about you (see Section 6).
- Uploaded Content: Files you submit (e.g., images, PDFs, text) via forms or comments.
We only gather what’s needed to run the site and make it better for you.
3. How We Use Cookies
Cookies are tiny files saved on your device to help our site work smoothly and improve your visit. Here’s what we use:
- Essential Cookies: Needed for basic site functions, like saving your settings. No consent required by law.
- Analytics Cookies: We use Google Analytics to see how our site performs (e.g., page views, visitor stats). These track things like your IP and browsing habits.
- Social Media Cookies: Features like Twitter share buttons might set cookies to track your activity.
- Third-Party Cookies: Some come from services we embed, like ads or videos.
Cookie Laws Around the World:
- UK GDPR & PECR: We must tell you about cookies and get your okay for non-essential ones (e.g., analytics). You’ll see a banner to accept or tweak your choices.
- EU GDPR & ePrivacy: Same deal in the EEA—non-essential cookies need your clear consent.
- US Laws: No nationwide rule, but states like California (CCPA) ask for transparency and opt-out options. We don’t sell data, but we list cookie use here.
- Other Places: Laws differ—Canada’s PIPEDA and Australia’s Privacy Act might apply if you’re there.
Check our cookie banner to manage your preferences. Non-essential cookies stay off until you say yes.
4. Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to learn how you use our site. It collects:
- IP Addresses: Anonymized for EU/EEA users in Google Analytics 4.
- Behavior: Pages viewed, time spent, device type.
- Unique IDs: Cookies track returning visitors.
Analytics Laws:
- UK/EU GDPR: We’ve set it up to meet GDPR rules—no data sharing with Google’s other tools, and we have a processing agreement with them. Data might go to the US under the Data Privacy Framework (DPF), which ensures protection (though it’s still debated legally).
- Schrems II (2020): A court ruling flagged US data transfers due to surveillance risks. The DPF helps, but US transfers still happen.
- Other Regions: We use Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) with Google where needed.
Opt out via our cookie banner or Google’s Opt-Out Browser Add-On.
5. Data Saving and Storage
We store data to keep the site running and improve it:
- Server Logs: IP addresses and access times, kept short-term for security.
- User Content: Files or form entries stored safely on our servers or with trusted partners.
- Retention: We hold data only as long as needed (e.g., analytics for 14 months, logs for 30 days) unless required by law.
Storage Laws:
- UK/EU GDPR: Data must be secure, lawful, and erasable on request (see Section 9).
- US CCPA: Californians can ask for deletion or opt out of sales (we don’t sell).
- Global Rules: Similar standards apply in Canada (PIPEDA), Brazil (LGPD), etc.
Our servers are in [Insert Location, e.g., the UK]. International transfers follow laws like DPF or SCCs.
6. Social Media Embedding
We add social media features (e.g., YouTube videos, LinkedIn buttons) to enrich our content. These may:
- Collect your IP, browsing data, or actions.
- Set cookies if you’re logged in or interact with them.
Social Media Laws:
- UK/EU GDPR: We notify you about this and need consent for related cookies. Data might go to the US under DPF or SCCs.
- US Laws: Their rules apply—check their policies.
- Other Regions: Consent and clarity are key where laws exist.
See privacy policies for Twitter, LinkedIn, or YouTube for more.
