Privacy Policy

Welcome to iHateMiddlemen (the "Site"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and disclose information about you when you visit our Site.

Information We Collect

When you visit our Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device and your interaction with our Site. This information includes:

  • IP Address: Your Internet Protocol (IP) address.
  • Geolocation Data: Approximate geographical location derived from your IP address, such as your country, region, and city. This data is provided by Vercel, our hosting provider, through request headers (e.g., x-vercel-ip-country, x-vercel-ip-country-region, x-vercel-ip-city).
  • User Agent: Information about your browser, device type, and operating system.
  • Visited Pages: The specific paths you visit on our Site (e.g., /about, /contact).
  • Referring URL: The address of the webpage that linked you to our Site, if applicable.
  • Timestamps: The date and time of your visit.

This information is logged and stored in a database hosted by Supabase.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  • Security: To monitor for and prevent fraudulent or malicious activity, and to ensure the security and integrity of our Site.
  • Analytics and Site Improvement: To understand general website traffic patterns, analyze how users interact with our Site, identify popular content, and improve the overall user experience and functionality of our Site.
  • Troubleshooting: To diagnose technical issues and resolve problems with our Site.

Data Sharing and Third Parties

We utilize third-party services to operate our Site and collect the information described:

  • Vercel: Our Site is hosted on Vercel. Vercel processes your IP address to provide us with geolocation headers and to serve our website content to you. You can review Vercel's privacy policy for more information.
  • Supabase: We use Supabase for storing the collected visitor log data. You can review Supabase's privacy policy for more information.

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.

Data Security

We take reasonable measures to help protect the information we collect from loss, theft, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. However, no internet transmission is ever completely secure or error-free.

Your Choices

Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove or reject browser cookies. Please note that if you choose to remove or reject cookies, this could affect the availability and functionality of our Site.

Since the IP address and related geolocation data are collected via server-side headers for logging purposes, standard browser settings for cookies will not prevent this data collection.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will notify you by revising the date at the bottom of the policy and, in some cases, we may provide you with additional notice (such as adding a statement to our homepage or sending you a notification). We encourage you to review the Privacy Policy whenever you access the Site to stay informed about our information practices and the choices available to you.
