Privacy Policy

1. Our privacy approach

ThirdBadge is intended to provide educational information about IT certifications without requiring visitors to provide personal information.

You can browse ThirdBadge without creating a profile, submitting personal information, or providing us with your name or email address.

2. Information we do not intentionally collect

ThirdBadge does not currently intend to collect or maintain user profiles, mailing lists, payment information, demographic profiles, browsing histories tied to individual users, or other personal information for marketing purposes.

3. Information you voluntarily send to us

If you contact ThirdBadge by email, we will receive the email address you use and any information you choose to include in your message.

That information may remain within our email service as part of the normal communication process. We use it only as reasonably necessary to respond to your message, address a question, review feedback, or handle a related request.

4. Basic technical information

Like most websites, the infrastructure used to host and protect ThirdBadge may automatically process limited technical information when a visitor requests a page.

This can include information such as an IP address, browser type, device information, request time, requested page, and other standard server or security logs.

This technical processing may be necessary to deliver the website, detect abuse, maintain security, diagnose technical problems, and operate the service reliably.

5. Cookies

ThirdBadge does not currently intend to use advertising or behavioral-tracking cookies on its own website.

Essential or technical cookies may still be used if they are required by the website, hosting platform, security tools, or other core functionality.

If ThirdBadge later introduces optional analytics, advertising, or other non-essential cookies, this policy and the Cookie Settings page will be updated accordingly.

6. Affiliate links

ThirdBadge may contain affiliate links to third-party websites, courses, products, certification providers, or other services.

When you follow an affiliate or external link, the destination website may collect information or use cookies according to its own privacy policy and tracking practices.

ThirdBadge does not control the privacy practices, cookies, or technologies used by third-party websites.

7. Third-party services

ThirdBadge may rely on third-party companies for services such as website hosting, security, domain services, email, database infrastructure, or other technical functions.

Those providers may process limited technical information as necessary to provide their services and are responsible for their own privacy and security practices.

8. We do not sell personal information

ThirdBadge does not sell personal information to advertisers, data brokers, or other third parties.

9. Data retention

Because ThirdBadge does not currently intend to maintain user profiles or personal-data databases, we do not maintain a general user-data retention program.

Limited information may still be retained within normal email, hosting, security, backup, or technical systems for operational, security, legal, or troubleshooting purposes.

10. External websites

ThirdBadge contains links to external websites. Once you leave ThirdBadge, the privacy policy and terms of the destination website apply.

We encourage users to review the privacy practices of any third-party website before providing personal information.

11. Changes to this Privacy Policy

ThirdBadge may add new features or services in the future. If our data practices materially change, this Privacy Policy will be updated to explain those changes.

The latest version of the policy will be posted on this page with a revised update date.
