Who we are
Our website address is: https://nostrsigningdevice.com.
We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect data when you visit our site. By using our website, you agree to the practices described below. We recommend reading this policy carefully.
Information We Collect and How It’s Used
- Website Analytics: We use the Independent Analytics plugin for WordPress to understand site usage and improve our content. This tool automatically tracks non-identifying information about your visits – for example, which pages are viewed, the date/time of each visit, browser and device type, and approximate geolocation (country/city) based on your IP address. Importantly, Independent Analytics does not use browser cookies or store any personally-identifying information. Instead, it creates an anonymous visitor ID by hashing your IP address with your browser details. All analytics data is stored securely on our own server and is only used to generate reports about site traffic and performance.
- Cookies and Tracking: We do not place cookies on your device for analytics purposes. Because our analytics plugin is cookie-free, we do not require a cookie consent banner. However, note that our website contains affiliate links to third-party websites (see below). If you click an affiliate link and visit another site, that third party may set cookies or use other tracking technologies on their own site – for example, to record that you came from our referral and credit us with any resulting purchase. We do not control those third-party tracking methods.
- No Personal Data Collected by Default: We do not collect any personal information such as your name, email address, or payment details unless you explicitly provide it (for instance, via a contact form or subscribing to future communications). Nostrsigningdevice.com does not have an email newsletter or membership registration, so we will never contact you by email unless you voluntarily share your contact information with us. We do not sell or rent your personal data to anyone.
Affiliate Links
Our site participates in affiliate programs, which means we may earn a commission if you click on certain links and make a purchase on the linked site. This is the only purpose of the affiliate links – it does not affect the price you pay. When you click an affiliate link and arrive at a third-party site, that site may track your visit (often via cookies) to ensure we receive the affiliate commission. For example, they may use a cookie to note that we referred you. We do not have access to any personal data collected by these third parties, and we encourage you to read their privacy policies for more information.
Cookies and Other Technologies
- Our Cookies: We do not use cookies or similar tracking technologies on Nostrsigningdevice.com. As noted, the Independent Analytics plugin is cookie-less, and we have no advertising or embedded content that would drop cookies on this site.
- Third-Party Cookies: If you click an affiliate link or navigate to another site, any cookies or tracking on that site are governed by their policies. These third-party cookies may be used for analytics, advertising, or affiliate tracking. For example, an affiliate program might place a cookie to log your referral, as noted above. We do not control these cookies and do not use them ourselves.
- Managing Cookies: You can manage or clear cookies in your browser at any time. Since we don’t use any cookies, clearing cookies will not affect your experience on Nostrsigningdevice.com, but it may remove tracking cookies set by other sites.
Litespeed Cache
LiteSpeed Cache for WordPress used on this site potentially stores a duplicate copy of every web page on display on your site. The pages are stored locally on the system where LiteSpeed server software is installed and are not transferred to or accessed by LiteSpeed employees in any way, except as necessary in providing routine technical support if you request it. All cache files are temporary, and may easily be purged before their natural expiration, if necessary, via a Purge All command. It is up to individual site administrators to come up with their own cache expiration rules.
In addition to caching, our WordPress plugin has online features provided by QUIC.cloud for Image Optimization, CSS Optimization and Low Quality Image Placeholder services. When one of those optimizations are requested, data is transmitted to a remote QUIC.cloud server, processed, and then transmitted back for use on your site. Now if using the QUIC.cloud CDN it uses LSCache technologies to access your site then host your site to others globally and also your data is not transferred to or accessed by QUIC.cloud employees in any way, except as necessary in providing maintenance or technical support. QUIC.cloud keeps copies of that data for up to 7 days and then permanently deletes them. Similarly, the WordPress plugin has a Reporting feature whereby a site owner can transmit an environment report to LiteSpeed so that we may better provide technical support. None of these features collects any visitor data. Only server and site data are involved.
How We Use Collected Data
- Site Improvements: Non-personal analytics data (visits, page views, referrers, device types, etc.) helps us understand which content is most useful and improves the website. We look at these statistics to make decisions about content updates, site performance, and user experience.
- Affiliate Programs: As mentioned, affiliate links generate commissions. We only use this program to support our site. We do not use any data from these links except to confirm affiliate sales. We will never share or misuse your data for affiliate purposes.
Your Choices and Rights
- Opt-Out of Analytics: Because our analytics are cookie-free and use anonymized data, there is no standard “opt-out” button like with other analytics tools. However, if you wish, you may ask us to exclude your visit data from our analytics. For example, you can contact us and request that we ignore your IP address in our analytics reports. We will make reasonable efforts to honor such requests.
- No Email Marketing: Since we do not collect email addresses or send newsletters, there is no email subscription to opt out of.
- Affiliate Links: You can simply choose not to click on any affiliate links if you prefer. Clicking affiliate links is entirely voluntary.
- Data Access and Deletion: If for any reason you have provided us with personal data (for example, via a contact form or email) and wish to see what data we have, correct it, or delete it, please contact us as below. We will respond to reasonable requests to access, modify, or delete any personal information we hold, in compliance with applicable laws.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time (for example, if we add new features or services). When we make changes, we will revise the Effective Date at the top and post the updated policy on this page. We encourage you to check back periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.
