Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2026

PondCo is a reading resource. We do not require accounts and we do not ask for personal information to read the guides. This policy explains what information is collected when you use the site, how it is used, and the choices you have.

Information we collect

If you contact us by email at [email protected], we receive your message and email address, which we use only to respond and, where relevant, to improve the site. We do not sell contact information and we do not add correspondents to marketing lists. Like most websites, our hosting infrastructure may process standard technical data — such as IP addresses and request logs — for security, reliability, and troubleshooting.

Third-party advertising and Google AdSense

We use third-party advertising companies, including Google AdSense, to serve advertisements when you visit this website. These companies may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other sites on the Internet.

• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on visits to our site and other sites on the web.

• You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at www.aboutads.info.

• You can also control cookies through your browser settings; see our cookie notice for details.

Advertising is served by these third parties under their own privacy policies. PondCo does not control the data practices of advertising networks beyond the site-level choices described here.

Affiliate links

Some pages contain affiliate links, including Amazon Associates links. If you click one, Amazon or its affiliate network may set a cookie so a resulting purchase can be attributed. Those cookies are set by the merchant or its affiliate network, under their own policies; PondCo does not receive your personal information from them.

Data protection

We implement reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect information we handle, including encryption in transit and access controls on site infrastructure. No method of transmission over the Internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children's privacy

This site publishes general educational material and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will update the "Last updated" date above and publish the revised version on this page.
