Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 20, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how MEP Master Guide ("we", "us", "our", or "the Site") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit mepmasterguide.com. By using this website, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
1. Information we collect
We collect limited information in the following ways:
- Contact form data — When you submit our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and message content. This is used solely to respond to your inquiry.
- Comments — When you leave a comment on one of our articles, we collect the data shown in the comment form, along with your IP address and browser user agent string, to help with spam detection. Your name and email address submitted with a comment may be visible publicly alongside your comment. An anonymized string created from your email address (a "hash") may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it; the Gravatar service's privacy policy is available here. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
- Automatically collected data — Like most websites, we may automatically collect technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and time spent on the site, typically through analytics tools such as Google Analytics.
- Cookies — We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to improve site functionality and understand how visitors use the site. You can disable cookies through your browser settings.
2. How we use your information
Information collected is used to:
- Respond to questions, suggestions, or topic requests submitted via the contact form
- Display and moderate comments on articles
- Improve our website content, structure, and user experience
- Understand general traffic patterns and site performance through analytics
- Maintain the security and proper functioning of the website
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.
3. Google AdSense and advertising
This site may display advertisements served by Google AdSense and other third-party advertising networks. These third parties may use cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies to collect information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.
Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings at adssettings.google.com.
Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites. For more information on how Google uses data, visit Google's Privacy & Terms page.
4. Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help websites remember information about your visit. We may use cookies for analytics, advertising, and site functionality purposes. Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through browser settings, including blocking or deleting them. Disabling cookies may affect certain features of the site.
5. Comments and cookies
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comment form, as well as the visitor's IP address and browser user agent string, to help spam detection.
If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year. Comments may be retained indefinitely so we can recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically rather than holding them in a moderation queue.
6. Third-party links
Our website may contain links to external sites not operated by us. We have no control over the content and privacy practices of these sites and accept no responsibility for them. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party site you visit.
7. Data security
We take reasonable measures to protect the information you provide to us. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Children's privacy
This website is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
9. Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal data, including the right to access, correct, or request deletion of information we hold about you. If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes. To exercise these rights, please contact us using the details below.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
