Privacy Policy

October 18, 2023

The Plain English Version:

PoGO Nest does not serve ads at this time but may do so in the future if necessary and only if costs to keep it online become too much. We don’t require account creation to utilize the website so no personal data is collected or stored. The only time we may collect any personal data is when you contact us via our contact form at which time, we will collect your email address to respond to you and your name if you choose to fill that in fully. Location data is only collected while visiting the Map page, with your consent, but that data is not stored. After you leave the Map page, the geolocation data simply vanishes. Lastly, we utilize Google Analytics to measure traffic data to see how the website is performing.

The Boring Long Version:

This page informs you of the policies of pogonest.com (“the Site”, “us”, “we”, or “our”) regarding the collection, use and disclosure of Personal Information we receive from users of the Site.

We use your Personal Information only for providing and improving the Site. By using the Site, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

Information Collection And Use

We may use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit the Site. These companies may use aggregated information (not including your name, address, email address or telephone number) about your visits to this and other Web sites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices about not having this information used by these companies, click here.

PoGO Nest does not serve ads at this time.

Log Data

This site uses Google Analytics, a cookie-based technology for measuring website traffic. Google Analytics does not store any PII (personally identifiable information) and presents data in aggregate, not individual user activity. If you would like to opt out of Google Analytics, see here.

Cookies

We use cookies to store information for your convenience (“Settings”). We also may use third party advertisements on the Site. Some of these advertisers may use technology such as cookies and web beacons when they advertise on the Site, which will also send these advertisers (such as Google through the Google AdSense program) information including your IP address, your ISP, the browser you used to visit our site, and in some cases, whether you have Flash installed. This is generally used for geotargeting purposes (showing New York real estate ads to someone in New York, for example) or showing certain ads based on specific sites visited (such as showing cooking ads to someone who frequents cooking sites).

You can choose to disable or selectively turn off our cookies or third-party cookies in your browser settings, or by managing preferences in programs such as Norton Internet Security. However, this can greatly affect how you are able to interact with the Site as well as most other websites.

Security

The security of your Personal Information is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
