Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

FreelanceWriter.net ("we", "our", or "us") provides content writing services and publishes this website. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit the site or contact us, how we use it, who else handles it, and the rights you have over it.

The site is operated from the United States. By using the site, you agree that your information will be processed as described here.

2. Information we collect

2.1 Information you give us

When you contact us, submit the project enquiry form, or subscribe to the newsletter, you give us information such as:

• Name and email address
• Company name (when provided)
• Project details you choose to include in your message

We use this only to reply to you and discuss the work — not to add you to unrelated marketing lists.

2.2 Information collected automatically

Like most websites, this one logs a small amount of information about each visit, including:

• IP address and approximate location derived from it
• Browser type and operating system
• Pages visited, referring URL, and timestamps
• Anonymous identifiers set by analytics and advertising cookies

2.3 Cookies

We use cookies for analytics and advertising. See the Cookie Policy for a full list and instructions on how to control them.

3. How we use information

We use the information described above to:

• Reply to enquiries and deliver requested services
• Send transactional or project-related email
• Send the newsletter (only if you have explicitly subscribed)
• Understand how the site is used in aggregate
• Operate and improve the site
• Meet legal obligations and protect against abuse

We do not sell your personal information.

4. Third-party services

The site relies on a small set of third parties to operate. Each has its own privacy policy and processes data under its own terms.

4.1 Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics (gtag.js, property G-N2CTCCFNSM) to understand site usage. Google processes this data on our behalf. See Google's Privacy Policy.

4.2 Google AdSense and advertising

This site participates in Google AdSense and may display advertisements served by Google. Google is a third-party vendor that uses cookies to serve ads on this site. Google's use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to this site and other sites on the internet.

You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ad Settings. You can also opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info (US) or YourOnlineChoices (EU).

For details on how Google uses information from sites that use its services, see "How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services".

4.3 Formspree

The project enquiry form and newsletter form on this site are submitted through Formspree, which delivers the message to our inbox. See Formspree's privacy policy.

4.4 Google Fonts

Typography is loaded from Google Fonts. Google may process IP addresses associated with these requests.

5. Data retention

We keep enquiry and project email for as long as it is useful for the engagement and any follow-up, then delete or archive it. Newsletter subscriber data is kept until you unsubscribe. Analytics data is retained according to Google Analytics' default retention settings.

6. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights over your personal information, including:

• Access — to know what we hold about you
• Correction — to have inaccurate data fixed
• Deletion — to ask us to delete what we hold
• Objection — to opt out of certain processing
• Portability — to receive a copy of your data

6.1 EU/EEA/UK (GDPR)

If you are in the European Union, European Economic Area, or United Kingdom, you have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation, including the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.

6.2 California (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, you have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act and the California Privacy Rights Act, including the right to know, the right to delete, the right to correct, and the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. We do not sell personal information.

6.3 How to exercise rights

Email [email protected] with your request. We may need to verify your identity before acting.

7. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the information we hold, including HTTPS for the site and access controls on the inbox where enquiries arrive. No system is perfectly secure; if you have reason to believe your data has been compromised, contact us at the address above.

8. International transfers

Some of the third parties listed above operate internationally, so information may be processed in countries other than where you live. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) provided by those vendors.

9. Children

The site is not aimed at children, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under the age of 16. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

10. Links to other sites

The site links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices. Review their policies before using them.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the site changes. The current version is always available at this URL, with the "Last reviewed" date at the top.
