Privacy Policy

Formalytx is an unofficial fan project supported by advertising. This policy explains what data is collected when you visit the site, who collects it, and how you can control it.

Analytics

We use Vercel Web Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights to understand aggregate usage and performance. This collects anonymized information such as the pages visited, referring site, approximate location (country/region), device type, and browser. Analytics do not use cookies, are not used for advertising, and are used only to understand how the site is used and to improve performance.

Advertising

We show ads served by Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.

Google and its partners may also use cookies, device identifiers, and your IP address to measure ad performance, limit how often you see an ad, and detect fraud and abuse. This data is collected by Google directly from your browser and is not shared with us in a form that identifies you. You can learn more in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.

Your choices

• If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you will be asked for consent before personalized ads are shown. You can decline and still use the site, and you can change your choice at any time through the privacy settings link provided by the consent message.
• You can opt out of personalized advertising from Google in Google Ads Settings.
• You can opt out of personalized advertising from other participating vendors at aboutads.info or, in Europe, youronlinechoices.eu.
• You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Ads may still appear, but they will not be personalized.

What we don't do

• Formalytx itself does not set cookies or require an account. The only cookies are set by Google for advertising, as described above.
• We do not store your IP address. Vercel derives a temporary, anonymized identifier for analytics and discards the raw IP.
• We do not sell or rent any data we collect, and we do not share our analytics data with advertisers.

Data processing

Analytics data is processed on our behalf by Vercel Inc. as a data processor. You can read more in Vercel's analytics privacy documentation.

Advertising data is collected and processed by Google under its own responsibility, as described in the Google Privacy Policy.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under GDPR or CCPA), you may have rights to access, correct, or request deletion of personal data. Our analytics are anonymized and not tied to an identifiable person, so we typically hold no data that can be linked back to you. Advertising data is held by Google, and you can manage or delete it through your Google account and the options listed above. If you have questions, contact us below.
