Privacy Policy

Last updated: 5 November 2026

1. Data controller

Vantelyo (the “publisher”, “we”, “us”) is an independent editorial platform. Contact: heroalfa36@gmail.com. Publisher information is available on the legal notice page.

2. Scope

This policy covers this website and our mobile applications, including FreshGuard. It explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have.

3. Data we collect

• No accounts. This website does not require an account and we do not run our own analytics or tracking pixels.
• Hosting logs. The site is hosted on GitHub Pages. GitHub may process technical data such as IP address, browser type and requested pages for security and delivery. See GitHub’s privacy statement.
• Contact form. If you use the contact form, the information you submit (name, email, message) is processed by Formspree and used only to reply. See Formspree’s privacy policy.
• Consent preference. Your cookie choice is stored locally in your browser (localStorage) so we do not ask on every page.
• Advertising. If advertising is enabled and you consent, Google AdSense may collect data as described in section 5.

4. Cookies and similar technologies

Essential storage is used to remember your language and cookie choice. Non-essential cookies are only used with your consent. You can change your choice at any time:

Cookie settings

Category	Purpose	Consent
Essential	Language preference, cookie choice	Always active
Advertising	Google AdSense ad delivery, frequency capping, fraud prevention	Optional — opt-in
Analytics	Not used on this site	—

5. Advertising and Google AdSense

This site may display advertising through Google AdSense. When advertising is active:

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
• Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
• You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info or YourOnlineChoices (EU).
• For more information, see Google’s advertising technologies and Google’s privacy policy.

Where required by law (for example in the EEA or the UK), advertising cookies are loaded only after you give consent. Declining non-essential cookies does not prevent you from reading the site. Our banner lets you accept all, reject all, or choose analytics and advertising separately, and you can reopen it at any time via “Cookie settings”.

Before enabling AdSense in the EEA or the UK: Google requires publishers to use a Google-certified consent management platform (CMP) that integrates with the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework. The site’s current banner is a lightweight first-party control and is kept with advertising disabled. A certified CMP must be configured and tested before any ad request is sent to visitors in those regions. See Google’s CMP requirements.

6. Mobile applications

Our apps, including FreshGuard, are designed to store inventory and preferences locally on your device. They do not require an account and do not upload your inventory to our servers. Permissions such as camera access are requested only when a feature needs them, and you can revoke them in your device settings.

7. Third-party services

• GitHub Pages — website hosting and delivery.
• Formspree — contact form processing.
• Google AdSense — advertising, when enabled and consented.
• Unsplash — article and illustration images.

8. Legal bases (GDPR)

Where the GDPR applies, we rely on: your consent for non-essential cookies and advertising; our legitimate interest in operating and securing the website; and, for contact messages, the need to respond to your request.

9. Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to the processing of your personal data, to data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise these rights, email heroalfa36@gmail.com. You may also lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

10. California privacy rights

We do not sell personal information. California residents may contact us to request information about personal data processed in the preceding twelve months, or to request deletion, subject to applicable exceptions.

11. Data retention

Contact messages are kept only as long as needed to handle the request. Consent preferences remain in your browser until you clear them. Hosting logs are retained according to GitHub’s policies.

12. International transfers

Our service providers may process data in countries other than yours, including the United States. They use appropriate safeguards as described in their respective privacy policies.

13. Children

This website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them. If you believe a child has provided personal data, contact us so we can remove it.

14. Changes

We may update this policy to reflect changes in our practices or the law. The “last updated” date above shows the latest version.
