Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026

The web site you have entered (robgonda.com, its sub-domains and any services available therefrom, including any mobile versions of the web site or mobile applications) (the "Site") is independently operated by Rob Gonda and his team ("we" or "us"). We respect your privacy rights and recognize the importance of protecting information collected from you and about you. This privacy policy (the "Privacy Policy") describes how we collect, use, and share that information. Your use of the Site constitutes your acceptance of this Privacy Policy.

1. Collection of Information

a. We collect personally identifiable information when you voluntarily provide it to us. We collect personally identifiable information from you in several different ways on the Site. Personally identifiable information means information that can reasonably be used to identify you personally, such as your name, username(s), birth date, phone number, and email address. We collect such information when you voluntarily provide it to us (such as when you complete an online account registration, subscription form, contest or sweepstakes entry, or comment submission). You can choose not to provide the requested information, but you might not be able to take advantage of certain Site features.

b. We automatically collect information about your browser or device, your use of the Site, and your browsing or search history when you interact with us. When you access and use the Site, our technology and tools automatically collect and record certain non-personally identifiable information about your use of the Site (including your IP address, your browser type, the make and model of device used to view the Site, location information, unique device identifiers, and other information relating to your use of the Site, browser, or device).

We also use cookies, pixels, web beacons, device or HTML5 local storage and caching, JavaScript, and other similar technologies to collect information about your use of and access to the Site, content or advertisements you view, and related to your activities on the Internet. Cookies are small bits of information that may be placed on your computer by web sites you visit, applications you use, or advertisements you view. Cookies alone tell us nothing about who you are, unless you or a third-party gives us personally identifiable information, which may then be linked to the data stored in the cookie. Pixels (or pixel tags, web beacons, or clear GIFs) are small blocks of code placed on a web page or application that read and place cookies and transmit certain information, such as a browser or device's IP address, when and how often the pixel was viewed, an identifier associated with the browser or device, or the type of browser being used.

c. Third-parties may also automatically collect information about you. Some advertisements or embedded content on the Site are served by third-party advertising companies or networks. These third-parties may automatically collect information about you when you view or interact with their content.

2. Use of Information

We use the information we collect to: (a) provide, maintain, and improve the Site; (b) communicate with you about the Site and your use of it; (c) personalize and tailor the Site and content to your interests; (d) serve relevant advertising; (e) monitor and analyze trends, usage, and activities in connection with the Site; (f) detect, prevent, and address technical issues, fraud, or other prohibited or illegal activities; and (g) for other purposes as described at the point of collection or with your consent.

3. Advertising

We use collected information to serve relevant, customized advertising to you. Such advertising (and analysis of advertising) may be conducted by us or third-parties. Your information may be shared with third-parties for advertising delivery, contextual advertising, and reporting on such advertising. Generally, these third-parties do not have the right to use this information beyond the scope needed to execute or support advertising.

Some advertisers and services we use to deliver advertising may be engaging in online behavioral advertising and interest-based advertising. You can read more about online behavioral, interest-based advertising, and related practices here:

4. Sharing of Information

We do not sell your personally identifiable information. We may share information we collect with service providers who perform services on our behalf (such as hosting, analytics, and advertising). We may also share information when we believe it is necessary to comply with the law, enforce our policies, or protect our or others' rights, property, or safety.

5. Opting-Out of Information Use

If you do not want us to use your collected information as described above or to provide your information to our partners, clients, or service providers for marketing purposes, please email us atcontact@robgonda.com with such request.

With respect to the Site's use of cookies and other similar technologies, by adjusting settings on your browser, you may elect not to allow cookies to be placed, and thus opt out of certain features of the Site and the Site's automatic collection of certain information about you.

6. Protection of Information

We use reasonable measures to safeguard your information in our possession. However, no data transmission over the Internet is completely secure and no security mechanism is impenetrable. Therefore, although we take steps to protect your information, we cannot guarantee the security of the information that we collect from you or the security of our servers or the Site. By accessing the Site, any transmission of information is at your own risk and you agree to assume all risk in connection with information sent to us or collected by us.

7. Data Retention

We retain information we collect from you for as long as your account is active or as long as is necessary to provide you the services you request. We may also retain and use information to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

From time to time we may modify this Privacy Policy to reflect, among other things, changes in the law or our information collection and use practices, and such modifications shall be effective upon posting by us. Your continued use of the Site after a revised Privacy Policy signifies your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy. It is important that you review this Privacy Policy regularly to ensure you are updated as to any changes.
