Privacy Policy
Last Updated: 20 September 2025
At Gravy Gadgets (https://gravygadgets.com), we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting any personal information you provide. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your choices regarding your information. This policy also describes rights and choices under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and how our use of Google services relates to those laws and to Google AdSense.
Information We Collect
Personal Information
When you subscribe to our website, we may collect your name and email address.
If you contact us directly (via email or our contact form), we may collect the information you provide, such as your name, email, and any other details you choose to include.
Non-Personal Information
Like most websites, we collect non-identifying data such as browser type, device type, IP address, pages visited, and basic location (city/region). We use this data to improve site speed, layout, and user experience.
Cookies, Tracking & Ads
We use cookies and similar technologies to store user preferences, analyze traffic, and deliver more relevant content. When you first visit, you may see a cookie notice asking for consent to use non-essential cookies. You can change cookie settings in your browser at any time.
Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on this site. Google’s use of the DART cookie allows it to display ads to users based on visits to this site and other sites across the web. Ads may be personalized based on your inferred interests.
If you want to opt out of personalized advertising from Google, you can visit: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/.
Third-Party Services
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to learn how visitors interact with our site (pages viewed, time on site, referrals). Google may collect data via cookies under its own privacy terms: https://policies.google.com/privacy.
Google AdSense and Other Ad Networks
Ads on our site may be served by Google AdSense and other advertising partners. These vendors may use cookies and similar technologies to deliver ads and measure ad performance. They may also participate in interest-based advertising. We do not control the data collection practices of these third parties. For information on how Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites, see Google’s ad privacy resources.
How We Use Collected Information
- To improve our website, content, and user experience.

Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)
If you are in the European Economic Area (EEA), our lawful bases for processing personal data include:
- Processing necessary for performance of a contract with you (for example, delivering newsletters you signed up for).
- Processing based on your consent (for example, non-essential cookies or marketing emails where you have given explicit consent).
- Processing based on our legitimate interests (for example, improving site performance and security). We balance these interests against your rights and freedoms.
Your Rights (GDPR)
If you are in the EEA, you have rights regarding your personal data:
- Access: Request a copy of personal data we hold about you.
- Rectify: Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Erase: Request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances.
- Restrict processing: Ask us to limit how we use your data.
- Data portability: Request a machine-readable copy of data you provided.
- Withdraw consent: If processing is based on consent, you can withdraw it at any time (this won’t affect processing already carried out).
- Lodge a complaint: You can complain to your local data protection authority if you believe we are not handling your data lawfully.
California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) — California Residents
If you are a California resident, the CCPA gives you specific rights regarding your personal information. Those rights include:
- Right to know: You can request the categories and specific pieces of personal information we collect, the sources, purposes, and third parties with whom we share it.
- Right to delete: You may request deletion of personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions.
- Right to opt-out of sale: You have the right to opt out of the “sale” of your personal information. We do not knowingly sell your personal information for money. If you believe your data has been sold, contact us. You may also visit the California Attorney General’s page about CCPA for more details: https://oag.ca.gov/privacy/ccpa.
- Non-discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising your CCPA rights.

Data Transfers
Our services and third-party vendors may process data in countries outside your own. Where required by law, we use appropriate safeguards when transferring personal data internationally.
Security
We use reasonable security measures to protect personal information. However, no online method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. If you suspect a security breach, contact us immediately.
