Who we are
BirdersUnite is operated by TensorSpace, Inc. You can reach us at contact@birdersunite.com.
What we collect and why
We collect limited, security-oriented technical data such as IP address, user agent, pages visited, and timestamps so we can keep the site reliable, prevent abuse, and diagnose errors. If you contact us, we process the information you send so we can respond and keep a record of the conversation.
If we enable analytics, we use lightweight measurement to understand aggregate traffic and performance. Where consent is required, we ask before using non-essential cookies or similar technologies.
When we display advertising, including Google AdSense, advertising partners may collect information from your browser or device, including cookies or similar identifiers, IP address, device information, and page interactions, to deliver and measure ads. Depending on your consent settings and local law, ads may be personalized or non-personalized.
Some pages may include affiliate links, including Amazon Associates links. If you click one of those links, the destination merchant may receive information needed to attribute the referral, such as the fact that you came from BirdersUnite, along with technical data they collect under their own policies.
We do not sell personal data.
Legal bases
Depending on the context, we rely on legitimate interests for security and site reliability, consent for non-essential cookies, analytics, and advertising personalization where required, and performance of a contract if we need to provide a service you request.
You can withdraw consent at any time by contacting us or adjusting cookie preferences where those controls are available.
Data sharing and transfers
We use trusted service providers for hosting, content delivery, email, security, and site operations. These providers process data only as needed to provide their services.
We also work with advertising partners such as Google, who may collect and process information as described in this policy. These partners may act as independent controllers of the data they collect. Data may be transferred outside your country; where required, appropriate safeguards apply.
Retention
We keep server and security logs only as long as needed for security and troubleshooting, typically no longer than 30 days unless we are investigating a specific issue. Contact correspondence is retained while we handle your request and for a reasonable period afterward to maintain records. Aggregated analytics, when used, are retained without identifying individuals.
Cookies and tracking
We use cookies and similar technologies for site functionality, security, analytics if enabled, and advertising if enabled. Where required, we request consent before placing non-essential cookies.
If ads are enabled, Google and its partners may use cookies or device identifiers to:
- Serve ads, including contextual or personalized ads depending on your consent settings and local law.
- Limit ad frequency, measure ad performance, and detect fraud.
You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. If a consent banner is available, you can update your choices at any time.
Advertising and Google AdSense
We may use Google AdSense to display ads. Google uses cookies or similar identifiers to serve ads based on your visits to this and other sites, where permitted by law and your consent choices. Learn more about how Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services , review Google’s Privacy Policy , or manage ad personalization in Google Ads Settings .
Affiliate links
BirdersUnite may use affiliate links, including links to Amazon.com as part of the Amazon Associates Program. These links are ordinary outbound links with affiliate tracking parameters. If you click them, Amazon or another merchant may use their own cookies, logs, or other identifiers to attribute purchases and measure performance. Their handling of data is governed by their own privacy notices, not this policy.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, or portability of personal data. You may also have the right to withdraw consent or lodge a complaint with a local supervisory authority. Contact us to exercise your rights, and we will respond within the time required by applicable law.
Security
We use reasonable safeguards, including encryption in transit, least-privilege access, and monitoring, to protect personal data. No system is perfectly secure, so please contact us promptly if you believe data has been compromised.
Children
BirdersUnite is not directed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their data. If you believe a child has provided personal data, please contact us so we can delete it.
Changes
If we make material changes to this policy, we will update this page and adjust the “Last updated” date. Continued use of the site after changes means you acknowledge the updated notice.
