Effective Date: 30th June 2025
At Ratarat, your privacy is as important to us as a perfectly broken-down word root. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our website, even if you’re just here to laugh at a vocabulary word that sounds like a sneeze.
1. Information We Collect
We may collect two types of data:
a. Personal Information (only if you provide it):
- Name and email address (if you contact us directly or subscribe)
- Any information you voluntarily provide through forms or comments
b. Non-Personal Information (automatically collected):
- Browser type, device type, operating system
- IP address (anonymized via analytics tools)
- Pages visited, time spent on site, clicks and interactions
- Cookies and tracking pixels (because we like knowing what works)
2. How We Use Your Information
We may use your information to:
- Improve site performance and user experience
- Respond to messages or inquiries
- Analyze which words people love, ignore, or get terrified by
- Monitor for spam and malicious bots (we prefer our bots educational)
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We don’t even let it date casually.
3. Cookies (Not the Edible Kind)
Our site may use cookies — tiny data files that help improve your experience. These may:
- Remember your preferences (like dark mode, if we ever add it)
- Track analytics like time on site or page views
- Help display relevant ads (through third-party networks like Google AdSense)
You can disable cookies in your browser settings — but it might make the experience less tasty.
4. Third-Party Services
We may use tools like:
- Google Analytics – for anonymized traffic stats
- Ad networks (like AdSense) – to show you useful or hilariously misplaced ads
- Email marketing providers (if subscriptions are enabled in the future)
These services may also collect data under their own privacy policies.
5. Data Security
We take security seriously and follow reasonable best practices to keep your data safe, but no online system is 100% secure.
6. Children’s Privacy
Ratarat is not directed at children under the age of 13. We don’t knowingly collect personal information from anyone under this age. If you’re a parent and believe your child has shared data with us, please get in touch, and we’ll handle it quickly.
7. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to:
- Request access to your data
- Request correction or deletion of your data
- Opt out of email communications or data tracking (where applicable)
Just email us and we’ll do our best to honor your request.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect new legal or technical changes. The updated version will always have a revised date at the top. Please check back occasionally.
