Privacy Policy

This policy explains what information The Quotes Flix (https://thequotesflix.com) collects, why, how long we keep it, and the choices you have. We do not require accounts and we do not sell your personal information for money.

Who we are

The Quotes Flix is the controller of the personal data described here. You can reach us at thequotesflix@gmail.com.

Information stored only in your browser

Saved quotes, collections, the quotes you have liked, your light/dark theme, and (where applicable) your cookie choice are stored in your browser's local storage. This data stays on your device and is never sent to us. Clear your browser's site data to remove it.

Information we receive

• Likes: when you like a quote, we add an anonymous +1 to that quote's counter. Likes are not linked to you.
• Searches: the words you search for are sent to our server to find matching quotes. We do not store them separately, but like any page address they appear in server logs.
• Abuse prevention: to stop automated abuse, features such as likes, search, and image downloads count recent requests per IP address. These counts are kept only in server memory, are never written to disk, and are not linked to anything else.
• Server logs: our servers record standard request data (IP address, browser type, page requested, referrer, and time) to keep the site secure and running. Logs are deleted automatically within 30 days.
• Emails: if you contact us, we keep your message and email address only as long as needed to respond and keep a record of the conversation.

Advertising

We display ads served by Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or www.aboutads.info. Visitors in the European Economic Area, the UK, and Switzerland are shown a consent message, provided by Google's certified consent management platform, before personalized ads are used.

Fonts, images, and links

Our fonts and author photos are served from our own server, so viewing a page does not send your details to font or image services. Our pages on Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest are ordinary links: we do not embed their widgets or tracking pixels, and their own privacy policies apply when you visit them.

Legal bases (EEA, UK and Swiss visitors)

• Consent for advertising cookies. You can withdraw consent at any time using the privacy settings link in the footer.
• Legitimate interests for server logs (security and keeping the site working) and for responding to messages you send us.

Who we share data with

Our hosting provider, which stores server logs on our behalf, and Google, for analytics and advertising as described above. Google may process data in the United States and other countries; such transfers rely on safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses and the EU–US Data Privacy Framework. We do not share data with anyone else unless required by law.

Your rights

• Change or withdraw your cookie consent at any time using the privacy settings link in the site footer, or block cookies in your browser.
• If you are in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, you have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to the processing of your personal data, and to data portability. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
• If you live in a US state with a consumer privacy law (such as California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, or Utah), you may have rights to know, access, correct, and delete personal information, and to opt out of targeted advertising or the “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising. Use Google Ads Settings, your browser's Global Privacy Control signal, or contact us.

To make a request, email thequotesflix@gmail.com. We will respond within the time required by applicable law (usually 30 to 45 days).

Children

This site is not directed at children under 13 (or under 16 in the EEA and UK) and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

Changes

We may update this policy. Changes take effect when posted on this page, with a new “last updated” date.
