Privacy Policy

Why Privacy Still Matters

Privacy isn't a luxury — it's a boundary. When you share your information with one service, that data shouldn't become everyone’s business. At Panhandler.pro, we reject the idea that trust is transactional or for sale. What you give us stays with us. Simple as that. (See: Carpenter v. United States, 585 U.S. ___ (2018) – personal data requires protection, even when shared digitally.)

1. What We Collect — And What We Don't

We only collect the data you intentionally submit — contact forms, ad info, or referral inputs. We do not record behavior, track movements, or log keystrokes. If you’re not interacting directly, we’re not observing indirectly. (U.S. v. Katz, 389 U.S. 347 (1967) – the expectation of privacy is constitutionally protected.)

2. Our Purpose

We use submitted information only to fulfill requests and communicate clearly. There’s no resale. No redistribution. No algorithmic profiling. Ever. (FTC v. Wyndham Worldwide Corp., 799 F.3d 236 (3rd Cir. 2015) – organizations are responsible for using consumer data ethically.)

3. Use of Cookies

We use only basic session cookies to enable form submissions and security. There are no tracking cookies, no ad networks, and no third-party scripts logging your clicks. Disable cookies if you want — the core site still functions. (European Court of Justice – Planet49 Ruling (2019) – cookies require consent.)

4. Third-Party Data Sharing

We do not share data with marketers, brokers, or analytics vendors. If compelled by court order, we will disclose only what's necessary, nothing more. (Smith v. Maryland, 442 U.S. 735 (1979) – even metadata disclosures must be justified.)

5. Security and Storage

Submissions are protected with HTTPS and stored on secured systems. We don’t store passwords, financials, or sensitive documents. If it’s not needed, it’s not saved. (California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) – data minimization is policy.)

6. External Links

We occasionally link to third-party services. We do not endorse or control their privacy practices. We advise reading their policies before interacting. (FTC Endorsement Guidelines – links and affiliates require transparency.)

7. No Services for Children

Panhandler.pro is not intended for anyone under 13. We do not knowingly collect, store, or respond to information submitted by minors. (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA))

8. Your Rights

You have the right to request a copy of your data, ask for correction or deletion, and understand how it’s used. We honor all reasonable requests within 5 business days. (General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Art. 15–18)

9. Policy Updates
