Introduction
At Scratchapixel, we are committed to maintaining the privacy and security of our users. Our policy outlines our practices regarding data collection and usage to ensure a transparent and trustworthy environment.
Data Collection and Use
Scratchapixel itself does not collect personal data directly from users as our platform does not require any form of login or registration. This approach is designed to ensure that our educational content on Computer Graphics (CG) programming is freely accessible without compromising user privacy.
However, to support the ongoing development and maintenance of Scratchapixel, we utilize third-party services such as Google Analytics for website analytics and Google AdSense for personalized advertising. These services are implemented to enhance the user experience and provide valuable insights into website usage and performance.
Third-Party Services and User Data
Google Analytics and Google AdSense collect data on our behalf, adhering to their respective privacy policies. This data may include information about user interactions with Scratchapixel, such as page views, time spent on the site, and navigation patterns. The purpose of collecting this data is to improve website functionality and content relevance.
