Effective Date: June 5, 2026

Alpha Spherical is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains exactly what data we collect, why we collect it, and how you can control it — written in clear language, no legal maze.

Who We Are

Alpha Spherical (alphaspherical.com) is an independent content platform publishing practical guides on AI tools, freelancing, remote jobs, blogging, and digital careers. We serve a global readership and operate entirely online.

For privacy matters: contact@alphaspherical.com

What Information We Collect

Information you give us directly:

• Your name and email address when you use our contact form
• Any message or inquiry you send us

We do not require account creation. We do not collect payment information.

Information collected automatically when you visit:

• Pages viewed and time spent on each page
• General location (country and region only — never your exact address)
• Device type, browser type, and operating system
• Referring website (what site brought you here)
• Anonymized IP address

This is collected via Google Analytics 4 (GA4) and standard server logs.

How We Use Your Information

1. To reply to you — contact form submissions are used solely to respond to your message
2. To improve our content — anonymous analytics tell us which topics resonate and where to improve
3. To display relevant advertising — we use Google AdSense to show ads on our pages (see full explanation below)
4. To monitor site performance — server logs help us identify and fix technical issues

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We do not send unsolicited marketing emails.

Google AdSense and Advertising

Alpha Spherical participates in Google AdSense, Google’s publisher advertising program. This means:

• Google displays advertisements on pages across our site
• Google uses cookies and tracking technologies to serve ads based on your interests and browsing history
• Google may use data from your visits here and on other sites to show you personalized ads — this is called interest-based advertising
• We fully comply with Google’s Publisher Policies and AdSense program requirements

We do not have access to the personal data Google collects for ad targeting. That data is processed entirely by Google under their own privacy policy.

To understand how Google uses data when you visit partner sites: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

To opt out of Google’s personalized advertising: adssettings.google.com

Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Alpha Spherical uses:

• Essential cookies — required for the site to load and function. Cannot be disabled without breaking the site.
• Analytics cookies (GA4) — track page views and behavior anonymously to help us improve content. Disable via browser settings or the GA4 opt-out extension.
• Advertising cookies (Google AdSense) — enable Google to serve relevant ads. Control via adssettings.google.com.
• Preference cookies — remember display choices. Clear via browser settings.

Disabling advertising cookies will not remove ads — it will make them less relevant to you.

Third-Party Services

We use the following trusted third-party services:

• Google Analytics 4 — anonymous traffic analytics — Privacy Policy
• Google AdSense — advertising — Privacy Policy
• Hostinger — website hosting and server infrastructure — Privacy Policy

Data Retention

• Contact form messages — kept for up to 12 months, then deleted
• Analytics data — retained by Google Analytics per their default settings (up to 14 months)
• Server logs — automatically purged after 30 days by our hosting provider

Your Rights

You have the right to: access your data, request deletion, request correction, and opt out of analytics or advertising cookies at any time.

EU residents (GDPR): You have additional rights including data portability and the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.

California residents (CCPA): You have the right to know what data is collected and to opt out of its sale. We do not sell personal data.

Data Security

• All pages are served over HTTPS (encrypted connection)
• Administrative system access is restricted to authorised team members only
• We do not store passwords, payment details, or other sensitive personal data

Children’s Privacy

Alpha Spherical is intended for users aged 13 and above. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted data through our site, contact us immediately at contact@alphaspherical.com and we will delete it without delay.
