Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 14, 2026

LinuxInfo.org (“LinuxInfo,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy.
This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you visit
LinuxInfo.org (the “Website”).

Information We Collect

LinuxInfo.org does not require visitors to create an account, and we do not
intentionally collect, store, sell, rent, or maintain personally identifiable
information about visitors through normal use of the Website.

Depending on how you use the Website, limited technical information may be
processed automatically by your browser, hosting provider, security provider,
advertising partners, or other third-party services. This information can
include an IP address, browser type, operating system, referring page, pages
viewed, approximate location, date and time of visit, and similar diagnostic
or usage information. We do not use this information to personally identify
you.

Advertising

LinuxInfo.org may display advertisements provided by third-party advertising
networks or partners. These third parties may use cookies, pixels, device
identifiers, or similar technologies to deliver ads, measure ad performance,
limit repeated ads, and, where permitted by law, provide interest-based or
personalized advertising.

We do not control the data practices of third-party advertisers. Their use of
cookies and other tracking technologies is governed by their own privacy
policies. You may be able to control advertising cookies through your browser
settings, device settings, or applicable industry opt-out tools.

If you do not wish to receive personalized advertising, you can adjust your
browser settings to block or delete cookies. Please note that blocking cookies
may affect certain features or the advertising experience on this Website and
other websites.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small text files that a website may store on your device. The
Website itself does not intentionally retain personal information through
cookies. However, our hosting, security, advertising, analytics, or embedded
content providers may use cookies or similar technologies for functionality,
security, traffic measurement, fraud prevention, and advertising purposes.

You can usually configure your browser to refuse cookies, notify you when
cookies are set, or remove existing cookies. Instructions vary by browser and
device. Disabling cookies may cause parts of some websites to work differently.

Third-Party Links

LinuxInfo.org may contain links to third-party websites, products, services,
downloads, articles, software repositories, social-media platforms, or other
online resources. These links are provided for convenience and informational
purposes only.

A link to an external website does not mean that LinuxInfo.org endorses,
approves, sponsors, recommends, guarantees, or is affiliated with that
website, its owners, its content, its products, or its services. We are not
responsible for the privacy practices, security, availability, accuracy,
content, policies, or actions of any third-party website.

When you leave LinuxInfo.org by following an external link, you should review
the privacy policy, terms of service, and security practices of the destination
website before providing information, downloading files, making purchases, or
otherwise interacting with that service.

Affiliate and Sponsored Links

Some links on LinuxInfo.org may be affiliate links or sponsored links. This
means LinuxInfo.org may earn a commission or other compensation if you click a
link or make a qualifying purchase, at no additional cost to you unless
otherwise stated.

Any compensation does not change our goal of providing useful Linux-related
information. However, you should independently evaluate products, services,
vendors, downloads, and offers before relying on them or making a purchase.

Embedded Content

Articles or pages on this Website may include embedded content, such as videos,
images, social-media posts, maps, advertisements, or other materials from
third-party websites. Embedded content from other websites may behave as if you
visited those third-party websites directly.

Those third-party websites may collect data, use cookies, embed additional
tracking, and monitor your interaction with embedded content according to their
own privacy policies. LinuxInfo.org does not control those practices.

Data Retention

LinuxInfo.org does not intentionally retain personal data submitted by visitors
through ordinary browsing of the Website. We do not operate user accounts or
maintain visitor profiles for normal Website use.

Technical logs or records may be retained temporarily by our web host,
security provider, content-delivery network, advertising providers, or other
third-party service providers for operational, security, fraud-prevention,
legal, and troubleshooting purposes. Any such retention is subject to the
policies of the applicable provider.

Children’s Privacy

LinuxInfo.org is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not
knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe that a
child has provided personal information through this Website, please contact
us so that we can review the matter and take appropriate action.

Security

We use reasonable measures intended to help protect the Website. However, no
website, server, network, or transmission method can be guaranteed to be
completely secure. You use the Website and any third-party links or downloads
at your own discretion and risk.

Your Choices

You may limit certain data collection by adjusting your browser’s cookie and
privacy settings, using browser privacy tools, using advertising opt-out tools
where available, and choosing not to interact with third-party advertisements,
embedded content, or external links.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the
Website, applicable law, or our practices. Any updates will be posted on this
page with a revised “Last updated” date. Your continued use of LinuxInfo.org
after an update means you accept the updated Privacy Policy.
