Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Botmonster Tech (“we”, “us”, “our”), the operator of botmonster.com, processes personal data when you visit this website. It is written in compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (Regulation 2016/679).

1. Data Controller

The data controller responsible for your personal data is:

Botmonster Tech Website: botmonster.com Contact: privacy@botmonster.com

2. Data We Process, Purposes, and Legal Bases

We process personal data only where we have a lawful basis to do so under Article 6 GDPR.

2.1 Server Log Data

When you visit this site, our hosting infrastructure automatically records:

• IP address
• Browser type and version
• Referring URL
• Pages accessed and timestamps

Purpose: Ensuring the security, stability, and correct operation of the website. Legal basis: Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) — maintaining a secure and functional public website. Retention: Log files are retained for a maximum of 30 days, after which they are automatically deleted.

2.2 Analytics (Google Analytics)

We use Google Analytics 4, operated by Google LLC, to understand how visitors interact with the site. Data collected includes pages visited, time spent, browser type, device type, and approximate geographic location (country/region level). IP addresses are anonymized before storage.

Google Analytics runs in Google Consent Mode. Where the law requires your consent, analytics cookies are set only after you accept them in the consent message; until then, Google receives only cookieless signals. You can change your choice at any time (see Section 6).

Purpose: Understanding site usage to improve content quality and user experience. Legal basis: Your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) for the analytics cookies, and legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) — improving the quality and relevance of published content — for the cookieless signals. You may withdraw consent or object at any time (see Section 6). Retention: Google Analytics data is retained for 14 months, after which it is automatically deleted from Google’s systems.

Third-party processor: Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google acts as a data processor on our behalf under a Data Processing Agreement. See Google’s Privacy Policy.

International transfer: Google Analytics data is transferred to and processed in the United States. This transfer is covered by Google LLC’s certification under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework (Decision 2023/1795), which provides an adequate level of data protection under Art. 45 GDPR.

2.3 Cookies

This site uses the following cookies:

When ads are shown, Google and its partners also set advertising cookies, described in Section 2.5 and on Google’s advertising technologies page.

Where consent is required, the _ga cookies and advertising cookies are set only after you accept them in the consent message. The theme preference is stored in browser localStorage and contains no personal data. The theme preference and your consent choice are necessary for the site to work as you set it and need no consent.

2.4 Contact by Email

If you contact us via email, we process your email address and the content of your message.

Purpose: Responding to your inquiry. Legal basis: Performance of a contract or pre-contractual steps (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR), or legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) where no contract is involved. Retention: Email correspondence is retained for as long as necessary to address your inquiry and for a maximum of 2 years thereafter.

2.5 Advertising (Google AdSense)

This site may show ads served by Google AdSense. Whether ads run changes over time, and while they do not, none of the processing in this section takes place.

When ads are shown, Google and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads, limit how often you see the same ad, measure ad performance and, with your consent, personalize ads based on your visits to this and other websites. In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, advertising cookies are set and ads are personalized only after you accept them in the consent message; otherwise Google shows non-personalized or limited ads. Wherever you are, you can turn off personalized ads in Google’s My Ad Center.

Purpose: Funding the site through advertising. Legal basis: Your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) for advertising cookies and personalized ads. Controller: Google acts as an independent controller for the advertising data it collects. See how Google uses information from sites that use its services. International transfer: Advertising data may be processed in the United States under Google LLC’s certification under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework.

3. Data We Do Not Process

• We do not create user accounts or store registration data.
• We do not build advertising profiles ourselves. Any ad personalization is done by Google, as described in Section 2.5, and only with your consent where the law requires it.
• We do not sell or rent personal data to third parties.
• We do not use automated decision-making or profiling as defined in Art. 22 GDPR.

4. Recipients of Personal Data

We share data only with:

• Google LLC — as described in Section 2.2 (analytics processor).
• Google — as an independent controller for advertising, when ads are shown (Section 2.5).
• Hosting/infrastructure providers — who process server log data on our behalf under data processing agreements.

We do not share personal data with any other third parties.

5. Your Rights Under the GDPR

As a data subject under the GDPR, you have the following rights, which you may exercise free of charge by contacting us at privacy@botmonster.com:

• Right to object (Art. 21): You have the right to object at any time to processing based on legitimate interests. We will cease processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.
• Right to withdraw consent: Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

7. Right to Lodge a Complaint

If you believe we have processed your personal data in violation of the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. You may contact the supervisory authority in your EU member state of habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement. A list of EU supervisory authorities is available at edpb.europa.eu.

We would, however, appreciate the opportunity to address your concern directly before you contact a supervisory authority.

8. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, or destruction. Our site is served exclusively over HTTPS.
