Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 9, 2026

Summary

mouthtapeguide.com is a static informational website. We do not currently collect, store, or process any personal data. We do not use cookies, analytics, tracking pixels, or any form of user identification.

What We Do Not Do

• We do not collect your name, email, IP address, or any personal information.
• We do not create user accounts.
• We do not use cookies.
• We do not serve advertisements.
• We do not share data with third parties.

Analytics

We use a self-hosted, cookieless analytics tool (Umami) to understand general usage patterns. This tool collects:

• Pages visited
• Referring source (e.g. search engine)
• Country (derived from IP geolocation — the IP itself is not stored)
• Device type (mobile / desktop)
• Timestamp of visit

This tool does not use cookies, does not store IP addresses, does not identify individual visitors, and does not send data to any third party. All analytics data is stored on our own server and is never shared or sold. No consent is required as no personal data is processed.

Server Logs

Our server may automatically record standard technical information (such as IP address and browser type) for security purposes. These logs are used for operational security only and are not analyzed for visitor tracking.

Third-Party Links

This site contains links to external websites (research publications, medical institutions, product manufacturer websites). When you click an external link, you leave mouthtapeguide.com and are subject to the privacy policy of the destination site. We have no control over and accept no responsibility for the privacy practices of external websites.

Children’s Privacy

This website is not directed at children under 13 (United States — COPPA) or under 16 (European Union — GDPR). We do not knowingly collect any data from children.

Your Rights — European Union (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the UK, or Switzerland, you have the following rights under the General Data Protection Regulation:

• Right to access — You may request what personal data we hold about you.
• Right to rectification — You may request correction of inaccurate data.
• Right to erasure — You may request deletion of your data.
• Right to data portability — You may request a copy of your data in a portable format.
• Right to object — You may object to data processing.

Since we currently collect no personal data, these rights are unlikely to apply in practice. If this changes in the future, this policy will be updated accordingly.

Legal basis for any future processing: Should we add analytics or other data processing in the future, the legal basis will be either legitimate interest (anonymous aggregate analytics) or consent (for cookies or identifiable tracking), and this policy will be updated before any such processing begins.

Your Rights — United States

California (CCPA/CPRA): If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information is collected, to request deletion, and to opt out of the sale of personal information. We do not collect or sell personal information.

Other U.S. states: Several states have enacted consumer privacy laws (Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, and others). We comply with these laws by not collecting personal data.

Changes to This Policy

If we begin collecting any data in the future (for example, by adding analytics, a contact form, or newsletter), this privacy policy will be updated before any data collection begins. The “last updated” date at the top of this page will reflect the most recent revision.
