Last updated: December 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how Like 2 Byte (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit https://like2byte.com (the “Site”).

1) Who we are

Website: https://like2byte.com
Contact: https://like2byte.com/contact/

2) Information we collect

a) Information you provide

• Comments: name (if provided), email, comment content, and any other fields you submit.
• Contact forms: your name, email address, and message content.
• Newsletter / email sign-ups (if enabled): email address and sign-up metadata (such as time and source).

b) Information collected automatically

• Device and log data: IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, approximate location (country/region), and timestamps.
• Cookies and similar technologies: used for site functionality, analytics, advertising, and remembering preferences.

3) How we use your information

• To operate and maintain the Site.
• To respond to inquiries submitted via forms or email.
• To publish and moderate comments and prevent spam/abuse.
• To understand how readers use the Site and improve content and performance (analytics).
• To display ads (including personalized or non-personalized ads, depending on your region/consent).
• To send newsletters or updates if you opted in (and you can unsubscribe at any time).

4) Cookies, analytics, and advertising

We may use cookies and similar technologies (e.g., pixels, local storage) for functionality, analytics, and advertising. Cookies can be set by us (first-party) or by third parties whose services we use.

a) Analytics

We may use analytics tools to measure traffic and understand how the Site is used (for example, pages viewed, time on page, and referral sources). These tools may set cookies or collect similar usage data.

b) Advertising (e.g., Google AdSense)

We may display ads on the Site through advertising partners (such as Google). These partners may use cookies to show ads, measure performance, and (where allowed) personalize advertising based on your activity and interests.

If you are located in certain regions (for example, the UK/EEA), you may be presented with consent options for advertising and measurement cookies.

c) Managing cookies

You can control cookies through your browser settings (block, delete, or limit cookies). Note that disabling certain cookies may affect Site functionality.

5) Affiliate links

Some pages may contain affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Affiliate partners may use cookies to track referrals.

For more detail, see our disclosure section on the About page (or our dedicated disclosure page, if available).

6) Comments and spam prevention

If you leave a comment, we may collect your IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam and protect the Site. Comments and associated metadata may be retained to recognize and approve follow-up comments.

7) Embedded content from other websites

Articles may include embedded content (for example: YouTube videos, tweets, images, or other embeds). Embedded content behaves as if you visited the other website. Those websites may collect data about you, use cookies, and track your interaction with the embedded content.

8) Who we share your information with

We do not sell your personal information. We may share data only in these cases:

• Service providers: companies that help run the Site (hosting, analytics, email delivery/newsletter tools, form tools, spam protection, CDN/performance tools).
• Advertising partners: to deliver and measure ads shown on the Site.
• Legal and security: if required by law, to enforce policies, or to protect our rights, users, and the Site.

9) How long we keep your information

• Comments: may be retained indefinitely (unless you request removal, where feasible).
• Contact requests: typically retained as long as needed to respond and keep a reasonable record of communication.
• Newsletter subscriptions: retained until you unsubscribe.
• Analytics/advertising data: retained according to the settings of the tools we use.

10) Your rights and choices

Depending on your location, you may have rights such as: requesting access to your data, requesting correction or deletion, objecting to certain processing, or withdrawing consent (for example, cookie consent where applicable).

To make a request, contact us via https://like2byte.com/contact/. We may need to verify your identity before processing requests.

11) Data transfers

Your information may be processed and stored in countries other than where you live, depending on our service providers and infrastructure. We take reasonable steps to protect data transferred internationally.

12) Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

13) Children’s privacy

The Site is not intended for children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child provided personal information, contact us to request deletion.

14) Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
