At DelusionCal, we are committed to developing innovative services to better serve our users. We recognize that privacy is a critical concern, and we design and operate our services with the protection of your privacy in mind. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of personal information we collect when you use DelusionCal’s services, as well as the steps we take to safeguard it.

The following principles apply to the personally identifying information we request and that you provide. “Personally identifying information” refers to data that individually identifies you, such as your name, physical address, or email address. For more details about the data we collect for specific services, please click the links on the side of this page.

Data Collection

• DelusionCal Services: Many of our services, such as DelusionCal Search and DelusionCal News, do not require any personally identifying information.
• Non-Personally Identifying Information: DelusionCal collects limited non-personally identifying information that your browser makes available whenever you visit our website. This includes your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your visit, and one or more cookies that may uniquely identify your browser. We use this information to operate, develop, and improve our services.
• Account Registration: Some services require you to register for an account. In such cases, DelusionCal asks for personal information (typically your name, email address, and a password) to create an account. We use this information to provide the service. For certain services, such as premium features, we may request payment information, which we store in encrypted form on secure servers.
• Transparency: When we require personally identifying information, we will inform you about the types of data we collect and how we use it. This helps you make an informed decision about sharing your personal information with us.

DelusionCal and Cookies

• Cookies: Upon your first visit to DelusionCal, a “cookie” (a small file containing a string of characters) is sent to your computer to uniquely identify your browser. We use cookies to improve service quality, understand user interactions, and store preferences. Cookies also help us track trends and patterns in how people use our services.
• Cookie Management: Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to notify you when a cookie is being sent. However, some DelusionCal features or services may not function properly without cookies.
• Third-Party Cookies: DelusionCal does not disclose its cookies to third parties except as required by valid legal processes such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute, or court order.

What Information Do We Collect?

• User-Provided Information: DelusionCal does not collect unique information about you (such as your name or email address) unless you specifically and knowingly provide it.
• Automatically Collected Information: We save information such as the time of day, browser type, browser language, and IP address with each query. This data helps us verify records and provide more relevant services. For example, we may use your IP address or browser language to customize search results or advertisements.

Information Sharing

DelusionCal does not rent or sell your personally identifying information to other companies or individuals unless we have your consent. We may share information in the following limited circumstances:

1. With Your Consent: We will share information if you give us explicit permission.
2. Trusted Partners: We may provide information to trusted businesses or persons for processing on our behalf, under strict agreements that require them to comply with this Privacy Policy and maintain confidentiality.
3. Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law or if we believe in good faith that such action is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of DelusionCal, its users, or the public.
4. Account Integration: If you have an account, we may share information across our services to provide a seamless experience and improve service quality. We will not disclose your account information to non-affiliated companies except as described in this Policy or with your consent.
5. International Data Transfer: We may store and process personal information in the United States or any other country where DelusionCal or its agents maintain facilities. By using our services, you consent to the transfer of your information among these facilities.
6. Change of Ownership: In the event of a merger or acquisition, we will notify you before any personally identifying information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
7. Aggregated Data: We may share aggregated, non-personally identifiable information, such as the number of users who searched for a specific term or clicked on a particular advertisement.

Information Security

• Protection Measures: We take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of data.
• Restricted Access: Access to your personally identifying information is limited to employees who need it to operate, develop, or improve our services.

Updating Your Information

We provide mechanisms for updating and correcting your personally identifying information for many of our services. For more details, please refer to the help pages for each service.

Links to Other Sites

• Third-Party Sites: The sites displayed in search results or linked to by DelusionCal services are developed by third parties over whom we have no control. These sites may place their own cookies, collect data, or solicit personal information.
• URL Redirects: DelusionCal may use URL redirects to track clicks on search results. This helps us understand user behavior and improve our search technology.

With Whom Does DelusionCal Share Information?

DelusionCal may share aggregated information with advertisers, business partners, sponsors, and other third parties. However, we will not share personally identifiable information without your express consent. For example, we may disclose how often users visit DelusionCal or which search terms are most frequently used. We will release specific personal information only if required by law, such as in response to a search warrant, subpoena, statute, or court order.

Your Consent and Changes to the Privacy Policy

By using DelusionCal’s services, you consent to the collection and use of your information as outlined in this policy and our Terms of Service. This Privacy Policy may change from time to time. While most changes will be minor, significant changes will be prominently notified. We will post updates on this page, and prior versions will be archived for your review.
