This Privacy Policy explains how MCHacks (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit mchacks.net (the “Website”).
1. Information We Collect
Information you provide
If you contact us through the Website’s contact form, we receive the information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, and message.
Contact form submissions are sent to us by email and are not intentionally stored in the Website’s database. Messages may remain in our email system for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to your inquiry, maintain appropriate records, or comply with legal obligations.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our Website and its infrastructure may automatically collect technical information when you visit, including:
- IP address;
- browser and device information;
- operating system;
- pages visited and referring pages;
- date and time of requests; and
- other standard server, security, and traffic log information.
We use this information to operate, secure, troubleshoot, and understand the use of the Website.
2. Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Website.
Google Analytics may collect information such as page views, session information, approximate geographic location, browser and device information, and identifiers stored in cookies or similar technologies.
Where required by applicable law, Analytics cookies and similar non-essential technologies are used only after the required consent has been obtained.
Google processes information according to its own privacy policies and terms.
3. Advertising
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on the Website.
Google and its advertising partners may use cookies, device identifiers, and similar technologies to display, measure, and personalize advertising. Depending on your location and privacy choices, advertisements may be personalized or non-personalized.
Where required by law, we ask for consent before using advertising cookies or processing information for personalized advertising.
Google and participating advertising providers may process information in accordance with their own privacy policies.
4. Cookies and Similar Technologies
The Website and the services we use may use cookies or similar technologies for purposes including:
- operating and securing the Website;
- remembering privacy and consent choices;
- measuring Website traffic and usage; and
- displaying and measuring advertising.
Where required by law, you can accept, reject, or manage non-essential cookies through the privacy or cookie controls provided on the Website.
You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling some cookies may affect how certain parts of the Website function.
5. Website Security
We use Cloudflare to help deliver, protect, and secure the Website.
As part of providing these services, Cloudflare may process technical information about visitors and requests to the Website, including IP addresses, traffic and routing information, and security-related information.
This information may be used to detect malicious traffic, prevent abuse, improve performance, and maintain the security and reliability of the Website.
6. Server Logs
Our web server and hosting infrastructure maintain standard server logs. These logs may include IP addresses, requested URLs, timestamps, browser information, referring pages, error information, and similar technical data.
We use server logs primarily for Website operation, troubleshooting, security, fraud and abuse prevention, and statistical purposes.
Logs are retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for these purposes, subject to the retention practices of our hosting and infrastructure providers.
7. How We Use Personal Information
We may use personal information to:

- protect the Website against fraud, abuse, attacks, and other security threats;
- display and measure advertising;
- comply with legal obligations; and
- establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
For visitors in the European Economic Area and other jurisdictions requiring a legal basis for processing, our legal bases may include your consent, our legitimate interests in operating and protecting the Website, responding to requests you make, and compliance with legal obligations.
Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time.
8. Sharing of Information
We do not sell personal information directly to third parties for money.
We may provide or make information available to service providers that help us operate the Website, including providers of:
- web hosting and server infrastructure;
- content delivery and security services, including Cloudflare;
- analytics services, including Google Analytics;
- advertising services, including Google AdSense; and
- email services used to receive contact form submissions.
Advertising and analytics technologies may involve the sharing of identifiers or other information with Google and its advertising partners. In some jurisdictions, certain advertising-related disclosures may legally be considered a “sale,” “sharing,” or use for targeted advertising even where no money is exchanged directly for your personal information.
We may also disclose information when required by law or when reasonably necessary to protect our rights, users, Website, or others.
9. International Data Transfers
Our service providers may process information in countries other than the country where you live, including the United States and other countries.
