At CorrectOrNot.com (“we,” “us,” or “our”), we respect your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what we collect, why we collect it, and how you can control it. Some parts are short. Some are detailed. That’s intentional.
By using this website, you agree to the practices described here. If you do not agree, please discontinue use.
Quick summary: We collect limited data to run the site, improve content, prevent abuse, and (if enabled) display ads. We do not sell your personal information in the traditional sense. You can contact us anytime at support@correctornot.com.
1) Information We Collect
We collect information in a few ways: automatically (through standard web technologies), and when you voluntarily provide it (for example, if you email us).
A) Information You Provide
- Email content: If you contact us, we receive your email address and any information you choose to include.
- Submissions: If you submit a correction, suggestion, or request, we receive the details you provide.
We only ask for what we need. If you send extra details, we treat them as private — but we encourage you not to share sensitive information unnecessarily.
B) Information Collected Automatically
When you visit the site, certain technical data is automatically logged. This is standard for almost every website on the internet.
- IP address (often used for security and basic location inference, like country/region)
- Device and browser information (type, version, language)
- Pages viewed and interactions (what you read, how long, what you click)
- Referring URL (where you came from, if provided)
- Date/time of access and basic diagnostic information
Important: This data is typically collected to keep the site running reliably, detect abuse, and understand what content users find useful. It is not collected to “spy” on you.
2) Cookies & Similar Technologies
We may use cookies (small text files stored on your device) and similar technologies such as pixels or local storage. These technologies help the site function, remember preferences, and measure performance.
Some cookies are essential. Others are optional and relate to analytics or advertising. You can control cookies through your browser settings and, where applicable, through consent tools displayed on the site.

3) How We Use Information
We use collected information for purposes that are directly connected to operating and improving the Website. Specifically, we may use data to:
- Provide, maintain, and improve the Website and its content
- Respond to messages, corrections, and support requests
- Monitor and prevent abuse, spam, fraud, and security incidents
- Understand which articles help users the most (and which need improvement)
- Measure performance (speed, reliability, errors)
- Display ads and track ad performance (if advertising is enabled)
We keep the goal simple: help you write correctly, and make the site work smoothly while doing it.
4) Legal Bases (Where Applicable)
Depending on where you live, certain privacy laws may apply. Where required, our legal bases for processing personal data may include:
- Consent (for optional cookies, where applicable)
- Legitimate interests (security, site improvement, basic analytics)
- Contract (when you request something we provide)
- Legal obligation (compliance with applicable law)
5) Analytics
We may use analytics services to understand how users interact with the Website. This helps us improve pages, fix confusing sections, and prioritize new content.
Analytics tools generally collect information like pages visited, approximate location (city/region), device type, and session duration. They do not typically identify you by name. Still, we treat analytics data as something we should handle carefully.
6) Advertising & Affiliate Links
We may display advertisements and may use affiliate links. Ads and affiliates help keep the site running and allow us to publish content without charging users.
Advertising partners may use cookies and similar technologies to deliver relevant ads and measure performance. If personalized ads are enabled, you may be able to opt out via your browser, device settings, or ad preference tools provided by ad networks.
Editorial independence: Ads and affiliate links do not influence our answers. If a spelling is wrong, we say it’s wrong. Even if it hurts feelings.
7) How We Share Information
We do not share your personal data except in limited situations, such as:
- Service providers who help operate the Website (hosting, analytics, security, email providers)
- Legal requirements where disclosure is necessary to comply with law, regulation, or valid legal process
- Protection and safety to defend our rights, prevent fraud, or protect users
- Business transfers in the event of a merger, sale, or transfer of assets (with appropriate safeguards)
When we share data with service providers, we expect them to handle it responsibly and only for the purpose of providing services to us.
8) Data Retention
We keep personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy. For example:
- Emails may be kept to maintain a support history and resolve follow-up issues.
- Analytics data may be retained in aggregate form to understand long-term trends.
- Security logs may be retained for a limited time to protect the Website.
When information is no longer needed, we delete it or anonymize it where feasible.
9) Your Rights & Choices
Depending on your location, you may have rights related to your personal data. These may include:
- The right to request access to the personal data we hold about you
- The right to request correction or deletion (where applicable)
- The right to object to or restrict processing (where applicable)
- The right to withdraw consent for optional cookie processing (where applicable)
- The right to data portability (where applicable)
To make a request, email us at support@correctornot.com. Please include enough information for us to verify your request. We may ask follow-up questions. We will not be dramatic about it, but we will be careful.
10) Children’s Privacy
This Website is not intended for children under the age of 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal data to us, contact us and we will take appropriate action.
11) Security
We use reasonable security measures to protect the Website and user data. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, but we take security seriously and we continuously improve protections where possible.
Please note: You are also responsible for protecting your own devices and accounts. Use strong passwords. Keep your browser updated. Small habits matter.
12) International Visitors
If you access the Website from outside the country where our services are hosted, your information may be processed and stored in different jurisdictions. By using the Website, you understand that data may be transferred internationally, subject to appropriate safeguards.
13) Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Website after changes means you accept the updated policy.
