Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 25, 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how Whisperline (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website at whisperline.co.

What We Are

Whisperline is a marketing website. We don’t operate a platform, we don’t create user accounts, and we don’t collect personal information through forms or sign-ups. This policy reflects what we actually do, not what we might do someday.

What Information We Collect

Information You Don’t Provide

We don’t ask for your name, email, phone number, or any other personal identifying information when you visit our website. There are no signup forms, no accounts, no logins.

Anonymous Usage Data (Optional)

If you consent to analytics cookies, we collect anonymous usage data through Google Analytics:

  • Pages you visit
  • Time spent on pages
  • Browser type and version
  • Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)
  • Approximate geographic location (country/city level)
  • Referral source (how you found our site)

What this data does NOT include:

  • Your name or email address
  • Your precise location or IP address (anonymized)
  • Any personally identifiable information
  • Individual tracking across sites

For details on cookies, see our Cookie Policy.

Server Logs

Our web hosting provider automatically collects standard server log information:

  • IP addresses (anonymized after 7 days)
  • Browser type and version
  • Pages accessed
  • Date and time of access

This data is used solely for security, performance monitoring, and troubleshooting.

Why We Collect This Information

We use anonymous analytics data to:

  • Understand which content resonates with visitors
  • Improve website navigation and user experience
  • Identify technical issues

We do not use this data for advertising, remarketing, or selling to third parties.

Who We Share Information With

If you accept analytics cookies, anonymous usage data is shared with Google Analytics. Google processes this data according to their Privacy Policy.

Hosting Provider

Our website is hosted on Microsoft Azure in an EU datacenter. Azure has access to server logs for infrastructure management and security. Microsoft processes this data according to their Privacy Policy and is GDPR-compliant.

No One Else

We do not sell, rent, or share your information with advertisers, marketers, or data brokers. We don’t send marketing emails because we don’t have your email.

Your Rights and Choices

You control whether analytics cookies are used. When you first visit our site, you can:

  • Accept analytics cookies
  • Decline analytics cookies

You can change your choice by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site.

Browser Settings

You can control cookies and tracking through your browser settings. See our Cookie Policy for instructions.

Do Not Track

We respect “Do Not Track” browser settings. If your browser sends a DNT signal, we will not load analytics scripts.

Data Deletion

Because we don’t collect personally identifiable information, there’s no personal data to delete. Anonymous analytics data cannot be linked back to you.

Our Privacy-First Principles

Whisperline is built on privacy as architecture, not compliance theater:

We collect the minimum. Only anonymous, aggregate data, and only with your consent.

We don’t track individuals. No user profiles, no cross-site tracking, no behavioral targeting.

We’re transparent. This policy says what we actually do, not what lawyers think we should say.

Privacy is structural. Our system is designed so we cannot identify individual visitors, even if we wanted to.

For more on our privacy philosophy, see Trust by Design.

Children’s Privacy

Our website is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with information, please contact us and we’ll delete it immediately.

International Visitors

Our website is accessible worldwide and hosted in the European Union (Azure EU datacenter). This means:

  • EU visitors: Your data is processed within the EU, subject to GDPR protections.
  • Non-EU visitors: Your limited anonymous data is processed in the EU, which maintains high data protection standards.

We comply with applicable data protection regulations regardless of where you access our site from.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. When we do:

  • We’ll update the “Last updated” date at the top
  • Material changes will be noted on the website

We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

Our website may link to third-party sites (research papers, tools, partner sites). We’re not responsible for their privacy practices. When you leave our site, we recommend reading the privacy policy of any site you visit.

Security

We use industry-standard security measures to protect our website and the limited data we collect:

  • HTTPS encryption for all traffic
  • Regular security updates
  • Secure hosting infrastructure
  • Anonymized IP addresses in analytics

However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

Contact Us

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or our privacy practices, please contact us:

We’ll respond within 5 business days.

This policy reflects our actual practices. If we say we don’t collect something, we don’t. Privacy through honesty.
