AlmostFake respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, and protected when you visit https://almostfake.com.

For the purposes of this policy, “AlmostFake,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refers to the operator of almostfake.com.

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or your personal data, you can contact us at:

1. Information We Collect

We may collect information in the following ways.

Information you provide

If you contact us, use a form, submit content, or use an interactive feature on AlmostFake, we may receive information that you voluntarily provide, such as:

• your email address;
• the content of your message;
• links, claims, images, or other material you choose to submit;
• other information you intentionally provide to us.

Please avoid submitting sensitive personal information unless it is necessary for your request.

Information collected automatically

When you visit AlmostFake, certain technical information may be collected automatically, including:

• browser and device type;
• operating system;
• approximate geographic region;
• pages visited;
• referring pages or websites;
• time spent on pages;
• interactions with site elements;
• general traffic and usage information.

This information may be collected through cookies and similar technologies, subject to your consent where required by law.

2. Cookies and Consent

AlmostFake uses cookies and similar technologies for essential website functions and, with your permission where required, analytics and performance measurement.

We use CookieYes to manage cookie consent. Visitors can accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customise their preferences.

You can also change your cookie preferences later using the consent control available on the website.

Necessary cookies may operate without consent when they are required for essential website functionality.

Non-essential cookies are used according to the consent choices you make.

3. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use AlmostFake.

Google Analytics may collect information such as pages viewed, approximate location, device information, traffic sources, session information, and interactions with the website.

Google Analytics may use cookies including:

• _ga
• _ga_*

AlmostFake uses Google Consent Mode together with CookieYes so that Google services receive and respect the consent choices made by visitors.

Analytics storage is denied by default where consent is required and is enabled only according to the visitor’s consent choice.

Information collected by Google may be processed on infrastructure located outside your country of residence.

You can learn more about how Google handles information in its own privacy documentation.

4. Microsoft Clarity

We use Microsoft Clarity to better understand how visitors interact with AlmostFake.

Clarity may provide aggregated or pseudonymous information such as:

• clicks and taps;
• scrolling behaviour;
• navigation patterns;
• page engagement;
• session recordings;
• heatmaps;
• device and browser information.

These insights help us identify usability problems and improve the website experience.

AlmostFake uses the Microsoft Clarity Consent API integration with CookieYes so that Clarity receives the visitor’s consent choice before consent-dependent tracking occurs.

Clarity is not intended to record sensitive information entered into protected fields.

5. How We Use Information

We may use information collected through AlmostFake to:

• operate and maintain the website;
• understand how the website is used;
• improve design, usability, content, and performance;
• respond to messages and requests;
• investigate submitted content or claims;
• prevent abuse, fraud, spam, and security threats;
• diagnose technical problems;
• comply with applicable legal obligations.

We do not currently sell personal information for money.

6. Legal Bases for Processing

Where the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), UK GDPR, Brazilian General Data Protection Law (LGPD), or similar privacy legislation applies, we process personal data only when an appropriate legal basis exists.

Depending on the circumstances, these bases may include:

• Consent — for non-essential cookies and analytics where consent is required;
• Legitimate interests — for operating, protecting, and improving the website when those interests do not override your rights;
• Contractual necessity — when processing is required to provide a service you requested;
• Legal obligation — when processing is necessary to comply with applicable law.

You may withdraw consent at any time through the cookie preference controls where applicable.

7. Sharing of Information

We may use third-party service providers that process limited information on our behalf to operate and analyse the website.

These currently include:

• Google Analytics
• Microsoft Clarity
• CookieYes
• website hosting and infrastructure providers

These providers process information according to their own terms, privacy policies, and applicable data protection obligations.

We may also disclose information when required by law or when reasonably necessary to protect the security, rights, or integrity of AlmostFake or its users.

8. International Data Transfers

Some service providers used by AlmostFake operate internationally. As a result, information may be processed or stored in countries other than the country where you live.

Where required, appropriate safeguards are used by the relevant service providers for international data transfers.

9. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including legal, security, operational, and dispute-resolution requirements.

Retention periods for cookies and analytics data may vary depending on the service involved and the visitor’s consent preferences.

10. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights concerning your personal data, including the right to:

• request access to your personal data;
• request correction of inaccurate information;
• request deletion of personal data;
• object to or restrict certain processing;
• withdraw consent;
• request information about how your data is used or shared;
• request data portability where applicable;
• lodge a complaint with an appropriate data protection authority.

Residents of Brazil may also exercise rights provided under the Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD).

Residents of the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and other applicable jurisdictions may exercise rights provided under the GDPR or equivalent legislation.

We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests.

11. Children’s Privacy

AlmostFake is not intentionally designed to collect personal information from children.

If you believe a child has provided personal information to us inappropriately, please contact us so that we can review and, where appropriate, remove the information.

12. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures intended to protect information handled through AlmostFake.

However, no website, network, or electronic storage system can guarantee absolute security.

13. Third-Party Links

AlmostFake may link to external websites, sources, articles, social platforms, or other third-party services.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party websites. You should review their privacy policies before providing personal information.
