Privacy Policy
Redguide website is owned by Mr.Wu, which is the Data Controller of your personal data.
We have adopted this Privacy Policy, which determines how we process the information collected by Redguide, and provides the reasons why we must collect certain personal data about you. Therefore, you must read this Privacy Policy before using the Redguide website.
We prioritize the care and security of your personal data and undertake to guarantee its confidentiality and security.
1. Personal Information We Collect
When you visit Redguide, we automatically collect certain information about your device. This automatically-collected information, referred to as “Device Information,” includes:
Information about your web browser, IP address, and time zone.
Some of the cookies installed on your device.
Information about the individual web pages you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and how you interact with the Site.
Information You Voluntarily Provide (Explicitly Requested)
When you choose to subscribe to our newsletter, contact us via a form, or participate in other site features, we may collect the following personal data you provide to us:
Email Address
Your Name
We do not collect sensitive personal data such as payment information, physical address, or phone number through direct site interaction (unless specifically required for a unique, transactional feature, which would be noted at the time of collection).
2. Why We Process Your Data (Purpose)
Our top priority is customer data security. We process minimal user data only as absolutely necessary to maintain and grow the website, specifically for the following purposes:
| Category | Purpose of Processing |
| Email Address & Name | Email Marketing: To send you our newsletter, updates, and promotional content related to the blog’s topic. Responding to Inquiries: To respond to your questions, comments, or requests submitted via our contact forms. |
| Device Information | Security & Maintenance: To identify potential cases of abuse and maintain the technical stability of the website. Statistical Analysis: To establish statistical information regarding website usage (e.g., page views, traffic sources). This statistical information is not aggregated in a way that would identify any particular user. |
| Agreement Fulfillment | Should we introduce a product or service requiring payment/registration, we may collect necessary data to fulfill that specific contract (e.g., username, password). |
You can visit the website without telling us who you are. If, however, you wish to use some of the website’s features (like receiving our Newsletter), you must provide the mandatory personal data listed above. You can choose not to provide us with your personal data, but then you may not be able to take advantage of some of the website’s features.
3. Affiliate Marketing Disclosure
Please note that Redguide posts may contain affiliate marketing links. This means we may earn a small commission if you click on the link and make a purchase or sign up for a service.
Crucially, any services or products provided through these affiliate links are offered by the respective third parties, not by Redguide. We are not the data controller for any information you submit on the third-party website, nor are we responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites before making a purchase or providing personal information.
