Privacy Policy

At GrowthNiq, accessible from https://growthniq.com/, protecting the privacy and data security of our visitors is a core priority. This Privacy Policy details the types of information collected by GrowthNiq, how we process and safeguard that data, and how you can exercise your privacy rights.

1. Information We Collect

When you use our web technology detection tools, reverse domain lookup engines, or AI software directory, you do not need to register an account. Any domain or URL entered into our public inspection tools is processed purely to return real-time technical stack telemetry.

If you contact us directly via our contact page or email, we may receive the information you voluntarily provide, such as your name, email address, and message contents, solely to respond to your inquiry.

2. Log Files & Network Telemetry

GrowthNiq follows standard server log procedures. Log files record non-identifying technical metadata when visitors access the website, including IP address (anonymized where applicable), browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamp, referring/exit pages, and click counts. This data is used for infrastructure security, rate-limiting automated abuse, and analyzing aggregate platform performance.

3. Cookies & Google Consent Mode v2

GrowthNiq uses cookies and implements Google Consent Mode v2 so visitors can control how analytics and advertising cookies operate:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: Required for core site operation, Cloudflare security protection, and saving your cookie consent preferences (`growthniq_consent`).
• Analytics & Performance Telemetry (`analytics_storage`): Used by Google Analytics 4 to measure aggregated traffic, page performance, and tool usage.
• Advertising & Personalization (`ad_storage`, `ad_user_data`, `ad_personalization`): Used by Google AdSense and authorized advertising partners to deliver relevant advertisements and measure ad performance.

You can modify or revoke your consent at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" button in the website footer.

4. Google AdSense & DART Cookie Disclosure

Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies (including the DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve ads on GrowthNiq based on a user's prior visits to our website or other websites on the internet.

Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or learn more about how Google uses data when you use our partners' sites by visiting Google Advertising Policies & Terms.

5. Affiliate Links & Third-Party Websites

Certain guides or directory listings on GrowthNiq may contain links to external software providers or affiliate partners. GrowthNiq's Privacy Policy does not apply to external third-party websites, and we advise you to consult the respective Privacy Policies of those third-party services.

6. Your Data Protection Rights (GDPR & CCPA/CPRA)

Depending on your jurisdiction (including the European Economic Area under GDPR and California under CCPA/CPRA), you have the right to:

• Right to Access & Portability: Request copies of any personal data we hold about you.
• Right to Rectification: Request correction of any information you believe is inaccurate or incomplete.
• Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten"): Request deletion of your personal data under applicable legal conditions.
