List Crawling, at listcrawling.org, is a guiding blog about crawling, crawlers, list crawls, and related updates. This policy explains what information the site handles, what it does not collect, and how to reach the operator.
Who operates this site
The site is operated by Zaheer Hussain, based in USA. Editorial contact: admin@kazadverts.com. That address is the contact for privacy questions, correction requests, and takedown notes.
What this policy covers
It covers visitors to listcrawling.org. It does not cover third-party sites linked from a guide or an update. Those sites have their own policies.
Information we collect
The site is a publication, not an account product. You can read it without registering.
If you email us, we keep the address you wrote from, your message, and our reply, so we can answer you. We do not add that address to a marketing list.
The host may record standard server logs: IP address, date and time, the page requested, the referring URL, and the browser type. Logs are used to keep the site up, diagnose errors, and spot abuse. They are not used to build a reader profile.
If analytics or a cookie banner is added later, this page will name the tool, what it measures, and how to refuse it. Until that line is added, do not assume a tracking cookie is in use.
What we do not do
We do not sell personal information. We do not buy email lists. We do not ask readers for a crawl of their contacts. Guides on this site describe public web crawling. That work is not done against visitors to listcrawling.org.
Cookies
A cookie is a small file a browser stores. This site needs no account cookie to be read. Any cookie that is strictly necessary to deliver a page, or that your browser sets on its own, is separate from an analytics cookie. If a non-essential cookie is introduced, it will be named here first.
How information is used
Email is used to reply. Logs are used for security and reliability. We do not use either to rank readers, score them, or send unsolicited mail.
Sharing
We share information only with the host that serves the site, and only so the site can run, or if the law requires a disclosure. We do not share reader information with advertisers.
How long it is kept
Email threads are kept while the question is open and for a short period after, then deleted. Server logs follow the host’s retention window, which should be no longer than needed for security. [State the host’s window if you know it.]
Your choices
You may email at admin@kazadverts.com to ask what we hold about you, to correct it, or to ask for deletion of an email thread. If you are in the European Union or the United Kingdom, you may also complain to your local data protection authority. If you are in California, you may ask whether personal information was sold or shared. The answer on this site is no.
Children
The site is written for adults who work with crawlers and public web data. It is not directed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their information.
Changes
If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it. A material change, such as adding analytics, will be noted on this page before it applies.
