Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how StatusQueen ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses and protects information when you visit or use our website. By using StatusQueen you agree to the practices described below.

1. Overview & Personally Identifiable Information

This policy describes how we treat Personally Identifiable Information (PII), defined as data that can be used on its own or together with other information to identify, contact or locate a single person, or to identify an individual in context. We aim to keep data collection to a minimum and to handle any information you share with care.

2. Information We Collect

StatusQueen does not require you to share personal information to browse, copy or download content from the site. The information we may collect falls into the following categories:

• Information you provide — when you create an account, save bookmarks or contact us, we store the username, email and any content you submit.
• Automatic technical data — IP address, device and browser type, referrer URL, pages visited and timestamps. This is logged for security and to keep the site running.
• Cookies and local storage — small files used to remember your theme preference (light/dark), session login state and basic site analytics.

3. How We Use Your Information

• To operate and maintain StatusQueen and provide its features.
• To remember your preferences (e.g., theme, last visited page).
• To detect, prevent and respond to abuse, fraud or technical issues.
• To improve content quality and the overall experience using aggregated, non-identifying analytics.
• To communicate with you about your account if you've registered.

4. Cookies

StatusQueen uses cookies and similar local-storage techniques to keep you signed in, remember your theme choice and measure how the site is used. You can configure your browser to block or delete cookies at any time. Refusing cookies will not prevent you from accessing the site, but some features may not work correctly without them.

5. Advertising — Google AdSense & DART Cookies

We may use Google AdSense to display advertisements on StatusQueen. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses the DART cookie to serve ads based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet. The DART cookie helps Google show ads that are more relevant to you.

You can opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting Google's ads and content network privacy policy at policies.google.com/technologies/ads.

6. Third-Party Services

Beyond advertising partners, we may use trusted third-party services for analytics, content delivery (CDN), error monitoring, fonts and embedded media. These providers process limited data on our behalf and are bound by their own privacy policies. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not promote third-party products or services beyond what's needed to operate the site.

7. Children's Privacy

StatusQueen is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has shared information with us, please contact us and we will remove it.

8. Data Retention

We keep account data for as long as your account is active. Logs and analytics are retained only for as long as necessary for security and statistical purposes, after which they are deleted or anonymised.

9. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, export or delete personal information we hold about you, or to object to certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us at the email below.

10. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data against unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure. No system is 100% secure, but we work to keep StatusQueen safe and reliable.

11. Copyright & DMCA Notice

StatusQueen respects the intellectual property rights of others and complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). If you believe that material available on this site infringes your copyright, please send a written notice to abuse@statusqueen.com with the following information:
