Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how NanoFishNest collects, uses and shares personal information when you visit nanofishnest.com, contact us, leave a comment or subscribe to our updates.

Mediavine Programmatic Advertising (Ver 1.1)

The Website works with Mediavine to manage third-party interest-based advertising appearing on the Website. Mediavine serves content and advertisements when you visit the Website, which may use first and third-party cookies. A cookie is a small text file which is sent to your computer or mobile device (referred to in this policy as a “device”) by the web server so that a website can remember some information about your browsing activity on the Website.

First party cookies are created by the website that you are visiting. A third-party cookie is frequently used in behavioral advertising and analytics and is created by a domain other than the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies, tags, pixels, beacons and other similar technologies (collectively, “Tags”) may be placed on the Website to monitor interaction with advertising content and to target and optimize advertising. Each internet browser has functionality so that you can block both first and third-party cookies and clear your browser’s cache. The “help” feature of the menu bar on most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, how to receive notification of new cookies, how to disable existing cookies and how to clear your browser’s cache. For more information about cookies and how to disable them, you can consult the information at All About Cookies.

Without cookies you may not be able to take full advantage of the Website content and features. Please note that rejecting cookies does not mean that you will no longer see ads when you visit our Site. In the event you opt-out, you will still see non-personalized advertisements on the Website.

The Website collects the following data using a cookie when serving personalized ads:

  • IP Address
  • Operating System type
  • Operating System version
  • Device Type
  • Language of the website
  • Web browser type
  • Email (in hashed form)

Mediavine Partners (companies listed below with whom Mediavine shares data) may also use this data to link to other end user information the partner has independently collected to deliver targeted advertisements. Mediavine Partners may also separately collect data about end users from other sources, such as advertising IDs or pixels, and link that data to data collected from Mediavine publishers in order to provide interest-based advertising across your online experience, including devices, browsers and apps. This data includes usage data, cookie information, device information, information about interactions between users and advertisements and websites, geolocation data, traffic data, and information about a visitor’s referral source to a particular website. Mediavine Partners may also create unique IDs to create audience segments, which are used to provide targeted advertising.

If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices to opt-in or opt-out of this data collection, please visit National Advertising Initiative opt out page. You may also visit Digital Advertising Alliance website and Network Advertising Initiative website to learn more information about interest-based advertising. You may download the AppChoices app at Digital Advertising Alliance’s AppChoices app to opt out in connection with mobile apps, or use the platform controls on your mobile device to opt out.

For specific information about Mediavine Partners, the data each collects and their data collection and privacy policies, please visit Mediavine Partners.

1. Who is responsible for your information?

NanoFishNest is operated by Adrian XH, based in Sweden. For the processing described in this policy that we determine, we are the data controller.

Privacy contact: contact@nanofishnest.com

Some external providers, including advertising partners, may also process information as independent controllers for purposes explained in their own privacy notices.

2. Information we collect

Information you provide. This may include your name, email address, message contents, comment text, optional website address and newsletter subscription preferences. Please avoid sending sensitive personal information that is unnecessary for your inquiry.

Technical and usage information. Our website and its providers may process your IP address, browser and device information, pages visited, referring page, access times, cookie identifiers and interactions with website features. Hosting and security services may record requests to deliver pages, investigate errors and prevent abuse.

Consent and preference records. Where we request consent, we record your choices and information needed to remember and demonstrate those choices.

You can choose not to provide optional information. However, without a contact email we may be unable to reply, and without subscription information we cannot send requested updates.

3. How we use information

We use personal information to:

  • Deliver and maintain the website.
  • Respond to questions and privacy requests.
  • Publish and moderate comments.
  • Send updates you have subscribed to.
  • Understand website use and improve our content.
  • Support advertising and affiliate attribution, subject to applicable consent requirements.
  • Detect spam, fraud, misuse and technical problems.
  • Meet legal obligations and establish or defend legal claims.

Where European data protection law applies, we rely on consent for newsletter marketing and processing that requires consent, including relevant analytics and advertising technologies. We rely on legitimate interests for necessary site administration, security, handling ordinary inquiries and comment moderation, after considering the impact on your rights. We may also process information to comply with legal obligations. Legitimate interests do not replace consent where consent is legally required.

4. Cookies and your choices

Cookies are small files stored on your device. Similar technologies, such as local storage, pixels and web beacons, can remember preferences or measure interactions.

Our site and providers may use these technologies for essential functions, preferences, analytics, advertising and affiliate attribution. Their purposes and duration depend on the service involved.

Where consent is required, non-essential technologies are used only after you make the relevant choice. You can accept, reject or adjust optional purposes through our consent controls. Continuing to browse does not, by itself, constitute consent.

To review or withdraw your choices, reopen Cookie settings in the website footer. The consent panel provides details of the technologies and participating providers, including their purposes and privacy information. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that was lawful before withdrawal.

You can also delete or block cookies through your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may affect website functions. Clearing cookies or changing browsers or devices may require you to select your preferences again. Browser controls and Google’s advertising controls do not replace your choices in our site’s consent panel.

5. Google advertising, including AdSense

NanoFishNest may display advertising provided by Google AdSense. This section applies when Google advertising is enabled.

Google and other advertising vendors may place or read cookies and use similar technologies to deliver advertisements. With the necessary consent, advertising cookies allow Google and its partners to select personalized ads using information about earlier visits to this website and other websites.

Advertising services may process information such as IP addresses, device and browser details, cookie identifiers, pages viewed and ad interactions. Depending on consent and service settings, this supports ad delivery, personalization, measurement, reporting and fraud prevention. Other participating ad networks may use their own technologies; information about participating providers and their privacy practices is available through our consent panel.

You can manage Google’s ad personalization through Google Ads Settings. Learn more about how Google uses information from websites and apps that use its services.

Choosing not to receive personalized advertising does not necessarily remove all advertisements. Non-personalized advertising can still involve data processing or technologies that require consent. We apply the consent requirements relevant to the advertising configuration used.

6. Website analytics and Google services

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use NanoFishNest, including which pages are read, how visitors reach the site and which devices are used. Depending on settings and consent, analytics can involve cookies, identifiers, device information and interaction data.

Aggregated reports help us improve the website, but information involved in analytics should not automatically be treated as anonymous. You can manage optional analytics through Cookie settings.

Some pages also request resources such as fonts from Google. Loading these resources can transmit technical information, including your IP address and browser details, to the provider.

Google explains its processing in its Privacy Policy and its information for users of partner sites.

7. Contact forms, comments and subscriptions

Contact forms. Our contact page uses Formlets. Information entered into the form is processed through that service so we can receive and respond to your message. Loading an embedded form can also transmit technical information to its provider. Email inquiries are processed through the email services used to deliver and manage correspondence.

Comments. If you submit a comment, the display name, comment text and any website link you provide may become public. Your email address is not intended for public display. WordPress and services used for moderation may process technical information to help detect spam. Where Gravatar images are used, an identifier derived from an email address may be sent to the avatar service. Information you publish publicly may be copied or indexed by others.

Email updates. If you subscribe, we use Mailchimp to manage subscriptions and send updates. It processes subscription information and, depending on campaign settings, delivery and engagement information such as opens or clicks. You can unsubscribe using the link in each marketing email or by contacting us. See Intuit’s Privacy Statement, which covers Mailchimp.

Sending a question or leaving a comment does not subscribe you to marketing emails.

8. Affiliate links and external websites

Some links are affiliate links. If you follow one and make a qualifying purchase, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you.

Linked merchants and affiliate services, including Amazon and Glass Aqua where linked, may use referral identifiers, cookies and transaction information to attribute purchases. We may receive commission and attribution reports. The information available depends on the program; affiliate tracking is not necessarily anonymous.

Purchases take place on the merchant’s website. Its privacy notice explains its handling of payment, delivery and account information. Please review the policies and choices on websites you visit through our links.

9. Sharing and international processing

We share information as needed with providers supporting hosting, security, email delivery, contact forms, comments, analytics and advertising. Access depends on the service and purpose described above. We may also disclose information when legally required or reasonably necessary to investigate abuse, protect rights or handle a legal claim.

Some providers process information outside Sweden or the European Economic Area. Where a restricted international transfer takes place, an appropriate transfer mechanism is required, such as an applicable adequacy decision or approved contractual safeguards, with additional measures where necessary. Contact us for information about safeguards relevant to your data.

10. How long information is retained

We retain personal information for as long as needed for its purpose, considering the nature of the information, active requests, security needs and applicable legal requirements.

  • Correspondence is retained while an inquiry is active and for an appropriate follow-up or recordkeeping period.
  • Published comments may remain while the related discussion or article remains available, subject to deletion requests and applicable exceptions.
  • Subscription information is retained while you remain subscribed. Limited suppression records may be retained to respect an unsubscribe request.
  • Technical logs, analytics records, consent records and cookies have retention periods determined by their purpose and the relevant service settings.
  • Information needed for legal obligations or claims may be retained longer where necessary.

11. Your privacy rights

Depending on your location and the applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct or erase personal information, restrict processing, object to processing and receive certain information in a portable format. Where processing depends on consent, you may withdraw it. You can object to direct marketing at any time.

Email contact@nanofishnest.com to make a request. We may ask for proportionate information to verify your identity. Under the GDPR, we normally respond within one month; if a permitted extension is needed, we will explain why. Rights are subject to applicable conditions and exceptions.

You may complain to the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (IMY) or another competent data protection authority. You do not have to contact us first.

12. Children and security

NanoFishNest is a general-audience website and is not directed specifically at children. If you believe a child has provided personal information that should not have been collected, contact us so we can investigate and take appropriate action.

We use reasonable safeguards appropriate to the information and services involved. No website or transmission method can guarantee absolute security.

13. Changes and contact

We may update this policy when our services or practices change. The date at the top identifies the latest revision. Where required, we will provide additional notice or seek fresh consent before introducing a new use of information.

For questions about this policy or your personal information, contact contact@nanofishnest.com.
