Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 5, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how O9i ("O9i", "we", "us", or "our"), publisher of the website located at o9i.site (the "Site"), collects, uses, and shares information when you visit or use the Site. By using the Site, you agree to the collection and use of information as described here.

1. Information We Collect

We aim to collect as little personal information as necessary to run the Site well.

• Information you provide directly — such as your name and email address, if you use our contact form or subscribe to our weekly letter.
• Automatically collected information — such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and time spent on the Site, gathered through standard web server logs and analytics tools.
• Cookies and similar technologies — small data files stored on your device that help the Site function and help us and our advertising partners understand how the Site is used.

2. How We Use Information

• To operate, maintain, and improve the Site and its content.
• To respond to messages sent through our contact form.
• To send the weekly letter to subscribers who opt in, and to let them unsubscribe at any time.
• To understand aggregate traffic patterns so we can decide what to write about next.
• To serve relevant advertising through third-party advertising partners, including Google AdSense.

3. Advertising and Google AdSense

O9i uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google and its partners may use cookies, device identifiers, and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and 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 may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• You may also visit www.aboutads.info to opt out of third-party vendor use of cookies for personalized advertising, where available.
• Third-party vendors, including Google, may show O9i's ads on sites across the internet and may use cookies to serve ads based on someone's past visits to this Site.

4. Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device. We use them to remember basic preferences and to understand how the Site is used. Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies through their settings; doing so may affect how some parts of the Site function.

5. Third-Party Links

The Site may link to external websites that are not operated by us, including sources cited in our articles. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third-party sites, and we encourage you to review their own privacy policies.

6. Children's Privacy

O9i is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.

7. Data Retention and Security

We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, and we use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect it. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Your Choices

You can decline cookies through your browser settings, unsubscribe from our weekly letter at any time using the link in every email, and opt out of personalized advertising through the tools listed in Section 3. To request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information you've provided us, contact us using the details below.
