Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 25, 2026

Your privacy is important to us. At ShoutingNow we follow a few simple principles:

  • We only ask for personal information when we truly need it — for example, when you contact us or submit an opt-out request.
  • We do not sell your personal information.
  • We do not share personal information except to comply with the law, operate our services, or protect our rights.
  • We do not store personal information on our servers unless required to operate the site or respond to your request.

ShoutingNow operates shoutingnow.com and related pages offering free online tools, guides, and blog articles. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and your rights under GDPR, CCPA, and other privacy laws.

Website visitors

Like most website operators, ShoutingNow collects non-personally-identifying information that browsers and servers typically make available — browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each request. We use this data in aggregate to understand how visitors use our site and to improve content and performance.

We may also collect potentially personally-identifying information such as Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged-in users and for users who leave comments on our blog. We disclose IP addresses only as described in this policy.

Personally-identifying information

Some visitors choose to interact with ShoutingNow in ways that require personal data — for example, submitting our contact form, signing up for email updates, or filing a Do Not Track / opt-out request. The amount and type of information depends on the interaction. We collect only what is necessary to fulfill that purpose. You may refuse to supply personal information, though it may prevent you from using certain features.

Aggregated statistics

ShoutingNow may collect statistics about visitor behavior — for example, which pages are most popular or how users navigate between tools and articles. We may display aggregated statistics publicly or share them with partners, but we do not disclose personally-identifying information except as described below.

Protection of personal information

ShoutingNow discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to employees, contractors, and service providers who (i) need the information to process it on our behalf, and (ii) have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some may be located outside your country; by using our site, you consent to transfer of information to them.

We do not rent or sell personal information. We may disclose information in response to a subpoena, court order, or lawful government request, or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect ShoutingNow, our users, or the public.

If you are a registered user and have supplied your email address, we may occasionally send updates about new tools or features. You can unsubscribe at any time. If you contact us for support, we may use your message to improve our documentation or help other users — we will not publish private details without permission.

We take reasonable measures to protect against unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction of personal information.

Cookies and similar technologies

A cookie is a small text file stored on your device. ShoutingNow uses cookies to remember preferences, keep the site secure, and — with your consent — understand how visitors use our content.

Types of cookies we may use

  • Essential cookies — required for basic site functionality, security, and remembering your cookie consent choice.
  • Analytics cookies — help us measure traffic and improve pages (for example, Google Analytics or similar services). These run only if you accept non-essential cookies.
  • Comment cookies — if you leave a comment, WordPress may store your name, email, and URL so you do not have to re-enter them on future visits.

Visitors who do not want cookies placed on their devices should set their browser to refuse cookies before using ShoutingNow, with the understanding that some features may not work properly without them.

You can change your cookie preferences at any time through your browser settings or our cookie notice when displayed.

GDPR (European Economic Area & UK)

If you are in the EEA or UK, you have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation, including:

  • Access — request a copy of personal data we hold about you.
  • Rectification — ask us to correct inaccurate data.
  • Erasure — request deletion of your data where legally permitted.
  • Restriction — ask us to limit processing in certain cases.
  • Portability — receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format where applicable.
  • Objection — object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing.

Our lawful bases for processing include consent (for optional cookies and newsletters), contract (responding to your requests), and legitimate interests (security, analytics with consent, and site improvement). To exercise your rights, email [email protected]. You may also lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

CCPA / CPRA (California residents)

California residents have the right to know what personal information we collect, request deletion, and opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information as defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act.

We do not sell your personal information. However, some analytics or advertising tools may collect data that could be considered a “sale” or “sharing” under CCPA when used on other sites. To opt out of any data sharing that may qualify, use our Do Not Track or Sell My Information page or email [email protected].

Online tools

ShoutingNow free tools (such as calculators and converters) generally process data in your browser. We do not store your calculator inputs, formulas, or tool results on our servers unless a specific tool page states otherwise. Tool usage may still generate standard server logs (IP address, timestamp, page URL) as described above.

Comments

Comments you submit on our blog are stored on our servers and may be checked through automated spam screening services. Commenter IP addresses are visible to site administrators.

Business transfers

If ShoutingNow or substantially all of its assets are acquired, or in the unlikely event we enter bankruptcy, user information may be transferred to a third party. Any acquirer may continue to use personal information as set forth in this policy.

Advertising

Ads that may appear on our site could be delivered by advertising partners who set their own cookies. This policy covers cookies set by ShoutingNow, not third-party advertisers. Review their privacy policies for details.

Children

ShoutingNow is not directed at children under 13 (or 16 in the EEA). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us data, contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Minor changes take effect when posted; material changes will be noted on this page. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
