Effective Date: December 21, 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how www.mattdude.con (the “Site,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects your information when you visit our website.

1. Information We Collect

We collect minimal information from visitors to the Site:

•  No personal data is actively collected by the Site itself. We do not use contact forms that collect personal information, do not require user accounts or logins, and comments are disabled.

•  Server logs: Our hosting provider may automatically collect limited technical information in web server logs, such as your IP address, the date and time of your visit, the pages you access, and browser details. This data is used solely for technical purposes, such as ensuring the Site operates correctly and securely.

•  LiteSpeed Cache: This site utilizes caching in order to facilitate a faster response time and better user experience. Caching potentially stores a duplicate copy of every web page that is on display on this site. All cache files are temporary, and are never accessed by any third party, except as necessary to obtain technical support from the cache plugin vendor. Cache files expire on a schedule set by the site administrator, but may easily be purged by the admin before their natural expiration, if necessary. We may use QUIC.cloud services to process & cache your data temporarily. Please see https://quic.cloud/privacy-policy/ for more details.

•  No analytics or tracking tools. We do not use Google Analytics or any similar third-party analytics or tracking services.

•  No third-party embeds. We do not embed videos, social media widgets, or other third-party content that could track users or set additional cookies.

The Site may set a small number of strictly necessary technical items (such as session storage or essential cookies) that are required for the basic functionality and proper display of the website.

2. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Site uses only strictly necessary cookies and similar technical items. These are essential for the Site to function correctly (for example, to ensure pages load properly and display content as intended).

We do not use cookies for analytics, advertising, preferences, marketing, or any non-essential purposes.

Because all cookies/technical items used are strictly necessary, no cookie consent banner is displayed, and consent is not required under applicable laws (such as the EU ePrivacy Directive or GDPR).

3. Third-Party Disclosure

We do not sell, share, or transfer any information to third parties, except as may be required by law. Our hosting provider, which maintains server logs, operates under its own privacy policies and is responsible for its data handling practices.

4. Data Protection and Security

We take reasonable measures to keep the Site secure, including keeping software up to date and using reputable hosting. Server logs are managed by our hosting provider and are typically retained for a limited period for technical and security purposes.

5. Your Rights

Since we do not collect or process personal data beyond what is strictly necessary for the Site’s basic operation (and limited server logs managed by our hosting provider), most privacy rights (such as access or deletion requests) are unlikely to apply. If you have concerns about server logs, you may need to contact our hosting provider directly.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
