Privacy Policy

Last reviewed on 2026-04-27.

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how DiffBetween ("DiffBetween," "we," "our," or "us") collects, uses, shares, and safeguards information when you visit diffbetween.net (the "Site"). It also describes the choices and rights you have in relation to that information.

By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here. If you don't agree, please don't use the Site.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information collected automatically

When you visit the Site, certain information is collected automatically by our hosting provider, analytics, and advertising partners:

  • Log data — IP address (often truncated for analytics), approximate location derived from IP, browser type and version, operating system, referring page, pages visited, and timestamps.
  • Device and usage data — screen size, language, time zone, and how you interact with pages (clicks, scroll depth, time on page).
  • Cookies and similar technologies — small files stored on your device that enable functionality, measure traffic, and support advertising. See the Cookies Policy for the full list and your controls.

2.2 Information you provide

If you contact us by email (for example, to report a correction or suggest a comparison), we receive whatever you choose to send: typically your email address, name (if you include one), and the contents of your message. We use this information only to reply to you and to act on what you reported.

The Site does not currently host contact forms, account sign-up, comments, or newsletter sign-up. If those features are added in future, this policy will be updated.

3. How We Use Information

Information is used to:

  • Operate, maintain, and secure the Site.
  • Understand how the Site is used so its content and structure can be improved.
  • Reply to messages and act on corrections, suggestions, and other feedback.
  • Show advertising and measure its performance via Google AdSense and similar networks.
  • Comply with legal obligations and enforce the Terms of Use.

4. Advertising and Google AdSense

The Site is supported by display advertising. Advertising partners — including Google, through Google AdSense — may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on prior visits to this Site and other sites on the internet.

  • Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this and other websites.
  • Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to this Site and/or other sites on the internet.
  • Personalized advertising can be turned off by visiting Google Ads Settings.
  • Third-party advertising opt-outs are also available through aboutads.info/choices (US) and youronlinechoices.eu (EU/UK).

For more on how Google uses information from sites and apps that use Google services, see Google's Partner Sites policy and the How Google uses advertising cookies page.

5. Analytics

The Site uses Google Analytics to understand aggregate traffic patterns. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar identifiers to collect information such as the pages visited, time on page, and approximate location. The information is used in aggregate to improve content and navigation.

You can opt out of Google Analytics in any browser by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

6. Cookies and Tracking

Cookies on this Site fall into the following broad categories:

  • Strictly necessary — required for the Site to load and function correctly.
  • Analytics — used to measure and improve traffic and content performance.
  • Advertising — used by Google AdSense and similar networks to deliver, measure, and where applicable personalize advertising.

You can manage cookies through your browser settings (refusing them, deleting them, or being warned before any are stored). Disabling some cookies may affect site functionality. The Cookies Policy goes into more detail and lists the relevant opt-out tools.

7. How Information Is Shared

We do not sell your personal information. Information is shared only with:

  • Service providers who help operate the Site (hosting, content delivery, analytics, advertising).
  • Authorities when required by valid legal process or to protect rights, safety, and the integrity of the Site.
  • Successors in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all assets, in which case the receiving party will be bound by terms at least as protective as this Policy.

8. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the following rights with respect to your personal data:

  • Access — request a copy of personal data held about you.
  • Correction — request that inaccurate data be corrected.
  • Deletion — request deletion of personal data, subject to legal exceptions.
  • Restriction or objection — ask us to restrict or stop certain processing.
  • Portability — receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format where applicable.
  • Withdrawal of consent — withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent.
  • Lodging a complaint — contact your local data protection authority.

8.1 Notice for residents of the European Economic Area, the UK, and Switzerland (GDPR)

The legal bases used to process your personal data are: legitimate interests (running and improving the Site, serving advertising, security), consent (where required for cookies and personalized advertising), and compliance with legal obligations.

8.2 Notice for California residents (CCPA / CPRA)

California residents have specific rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act and the California Privacy Rights Act, including the right to know what personal information is collected, the right to delete personal information, the right to correct inaccurate personal information, and the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected]. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights.

9. Data Retention

Server logs are retained for a short period (typically up to a few months) for security and abuse prevention. Analytics data is retained according to the default retention period configured for Google Analytics. Email correspondence is retained for as long as needed to handle the request and to keep a record of the response, after which it may be archived or deleted. We do not retain personal data longer than is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

10. Data Security

Reasonable administrative and technical measures are used to protect data, including encryption in transit (HTTPS) and access controls on systems we use. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Children's Privacy

The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, contact [email protected] and the information will be deleted.

12. International Data Transfers

The Site is operated using providers that may store and process data in jurisdictions other than your own, including the United States and the European Economic Area. By using the Site you understand that your information may be transferred to and processed in those locations. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) for international transfers.

13. Changes to This Policy

This Policy may be updated from time to time. The "Last reviewed" date at the top will reflect the most recent revision. Material changes will be highlighted at the top of the page. Continued use of the Site after a change indicates acceptance of the updated Policy.
