Privacy Policy

Effective Date: March 8, 2026

Welcome to Digital Self+. Your privacy is incredibly important to us. We built this platform to help you feel safe online, and that starts right here.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our website, digitalselfplus.com.

A Special Note on Our Safety Check-In

Our 4-question Safety Check-In on the homepage is 100% anonymous. We do not ask for your name, email address, or any personal details to use this free tool or to download our safety guides.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect information when you interact with our site, mostly to help us understand what kind of devices our visitors use so we can make the website easier to read and navigate.

a) Automatically Collected Information Through standard tools like Google Analytics, we collect basic, non-personal data such as:

• Your device type and browser (e.g., if you are using an iPad or a Windows computer)

• Approximate geographic location (e.g., your city or state, but never your specific address)

• Language preferences

• Which pages you visited and how long you stayed

b) Google Signals We have enabled a standard feature called Google Signals. This means we may receive grouped, anonymous data from users who are signed into their Google accounts and have consented to ad personalization. Legally, this includes data on cross-device behavior, location data, and site activity across Google’s partner network.

• What this means in plain English: Google shares general, anonymous trends with us (like "most of our visitors prefer to use tablets") so we can improve our website. We do not identify individual users, nor can we see your personal search history, YouTube history, or who you are.

c) User-Provided Data If you choose to interact with us directly (such as sending an email to our contact address), we will collect the information you explicitly provide to us. We only collect personal information when you knowingly and actively hand it over.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use this general information to make Digital Self+ better for you. Specifically, to:

• Provide and improve our free educational services.

• Ensure our website works smoothly on the devices our visitors actually use.

• Analyze which lessons are the most popular so we can create more helpful content.

• Deliver relevant, personalized advertising (only if you have ads personalization enabled in your own Google account).

3. Ads Personalization and Data Sharing

When enabled by your own browser settings, we may share grouped audience data with linked Google Ads accounts. You are always in control of this. You can easily opt out of ad personalization at any time through your Google Account settings by visiting: https://myadcenter.google.com

If you disable ads personalization in your browser or device, no user data will be used for this purpose.

4. User Rights and Control

You are in control of your digital footprint. You have the right to:

• Access and review your data.

• Request the deletion or correction of personal data.

• Opt out of personalized advertising. To access or manage your Google data, you can visit: https://myactivity.google.com

5. Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies (which are essentially small digital bookmarks saved on your browser) to help our website remember your preferences and understand how visitors use the site. You can easily clear or manage cookies at any time through your own internet browser's settings menu.

6. Data Security

We follow industry-standard practices to protect your information, including secure website encryption (the little padlock next to our web address) and severely limited access to data. However, please remember that no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

7. Age Requirements

Digital Self+ is built specifically to help older adults and seniors build digital confidence. It is not intended for children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 13 without verifiable parental consent.

8. Third-Party Services

We may link to helpful resources on other platforms like YouTube or external security sites. Once you leave our website, please remember to review their respective privacy policies, as we cannot control how other websites operate.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as our website grows or as internet laws change. The "Effective Date" at the top will always indicate the latest revision.
