This Privacy Policy explains how IoTSSA Inc. (“IoTSSA,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information in connection with your use of iotssa.com and any related content channel, including The Quantum Guy blog (collectively, the “Site”).

We have designed the Site to minimize the personal information we collect. We do not require account registration, we do not sell personal information, and we do not maintain a marketing email list of Site visitors.

  1. Information We Do Not Collect

We do not ask you to create an account to read the Site. We do not require you to submit your name, email address, phone number, or other contact details to access the Content. We do not collect payment information through the Site.

  1. Information Collected Automatically Through Cookies

Like most websites, the Site uses cookies and similar technologies. Cookies are small data files stored on your device that allow websites and third-party services to recognize your browser and collect certain information.

The Site uses the following categories of cookies:

| Category | Purpose | Examples |

| Strictly necessary | Required for the Site to function (security, page navigation) | Session cookies |

| Analytics | Help us understand which posts are read and how readers navigate the Site | Aggregated traffic data |

| Marketing | Allow us and our advertising partners to measure the effectiveness of content distributed through social media and to show relevant content on other platforms | Third-party tracking pixels |

Marketing cookies may collect information such as your IP address, device identifiers, browser type, pages viewed, referring URL, and approximate geographic location. This information may be considered “personal information” or “personal data” under laws such as the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the UK GDPR, and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA).

  1. Third-Party Services and Social Media Distribution

We distribute Site content through third-party social media platforms (which may include LinkedIn, X, Facebook, YouTube, and similar services). When you interact with our content on those platforms, or when you arrive at the Site from one of those platforms, the platform may collect information about you under its own privacy policy.

We do not control how third-party platforms collect or use your information. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any platform where you encounter our content.

The Site may also use third-party analytics or advertising services (such as Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, or similar). These services place their own cookies and process information under their own privacy policies.

  1. How We Use Information

We use information collected through cookies to:

  • Understand which Content is most useful to readers;
  • Measure the reach and effectiveness of Content distributed through social media;
  • Improve the Site and the Content;
  • Comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell personal information. We do not share personal information with third parties for their own marketing purposes, other than the analytics and advertising service providers described above acting on our behalf.

  1. Your Choices

You can control or block cookies at any time through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse all cookies, accept only first-party cookies, or be notified when a cookie is set. Blocking cookies may affect the functionality of the Site.

You may also use browser level privacy signals (such as Global Privacy Control) and platform level opt-outs offered by advertising networks. We honor recognized opt-out signals where required by applicable law.

  • Know what personal information is collected and how it is used;
