Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 2026
This Privacy Policy explains what information AlgoUpdateTimes (“we,” “us,” “our”) collects when you visit algoupdatetimes.com, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using this site, you agree to the practices described below.
Information We Collect
We collect information in a few limited ways:
- Usage data. Like most websites, we automatically collect standard technical information — browser type, device type, pages visited, and approximate location derived from IP address — through analytics tools, to understand how the site is used.
- Tool inputs. The Update Impact Checker and Domain Authority Checker process the date or domain you enter to return a result. We do not store these inputs or associate them with you personally; they’re sent to our server (and, for the authority checker, a third-party API) only long enough to return your result.
- Contact information. If you email us at contact@algoupdatetimes.com, we receive your email address and whatever you include in your message. We use this only to respond to you.
- Cookies. We may use cookies for basic site functionality and analytics. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings.
How We Use Information
- To operate and improve the site and our tools
- To understand aggregate traffic patterns and content performance
- To respond to inquiries sent through our contact email
- To detect and prevent abuse of our tools
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for purposes beyond those listed above.
Third-Party Services
We rely on a small number of third-party services to run this site:
| Service | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Analytics provider | Understanding site traffic and usage patterns |
| OpenPageRank API | Powers the Domain Authority Checker’s results |
| Hosting provider | Serves the website and processes standard server logs |
These providers may collect information according to their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review. If we add advertising to this site in the future, this policy will be updated to reflect any ad-related data collection.
Cookies & Tracking
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use them, where applicable, for analytics and to remember basic site preferences. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings; doing so may affect some site functionality but won’t prevent you from reading our content.
Data Retention
We retain contact emails only as long as needed to resolve your inquiry, and aggregate analytics data for as long as it’s useful for understanding site trends. We don’t retain individual tool inputs (dates or domains you check) beyond returning your result.
Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you, or to object to certain processing. Since we collect very little personal information in the first place — mainly what you voluntarily send us by email — most requests can be handled simply by contacting us directly.
Children’s Privacy
AlgoUpdateTimes is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent version.
