Keeping You & Your Data Safe in a Changing Landscape
We at PondPaddock.nz pride ourselves on transparency and building trust with our users. That's why we're excited to keep you informed about upcoming changes to how online advertising and user data are handled in Europe.
Starting January 16, 2024, new regulations called the "Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR)" will apply to all websites targeting users in the European Economic Area (EEA) and the UK. These regulations aim to give users more control over their online privacy and ensure responsible data practices from businesses.
What does this mean for you?
-
More transparency: We'll be even clearer about how we collect and use your data for displaying ads on PondPaddock.nz. Look for updated privacy policies and information pop-ups explaining your choices.
-
Your data, your choice: You'll have greater control over your data, including the ability to opt-out of personalized advertising or request deletion of your information. We'll make it easy for you to exercise these rights.
-
Continued ad relevance: While your privacy is paramount, we believe in delivering relevant and enjoyable ad experiences. We'll utilize privacy-friendly solutions to continue showing you ads that might interest you, respecting your choices and preferences.
What are we doing to comply?
-
We're actively reviewing our data practices and technology to ensure compliance with the new regulations.
-
We're updating our privacy policies and user interfaces to provide clear and accessible information about data collection and usage.
-
We're partnering with trusted ad providers who also adhere to the PECR guidelines.
