Privacy Policy

Effective Date: July 30, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how RuView Blog ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you visit ruview.blog. It also explains how advertising, analytics, cookies, IP addresses, web beacons, and third-party content may affect your privacy.

1. Information We Collect

  • Usage and device information: IP address, browser and device type, operating system, pages viewed, referring page, approximate location, timestamps, language settings, and diagnostic information.
  • Cookie and advertising identifiers: cookies, local storage identifiers, advertising identifiers, and similar technologies used for security, analytics, frequency control, measurement, and advertising.
  • Support communications: information you voluntarily include when you email us.
  • Third-party interactions: requests and interaction data generated when your browser loads an embedded demo, external resource, analytics service, or advertisement.

2. Information We Do Not Intentionally Collect

ruview.blog does not intentionally collect WiFi CSI recordings, sensor streams, camera images, wearable data, health measurements, or RuView hardware telemetry. A RuView experiment operated through third-party software, hardware, or hosting is controlled by that separate provider or environment.

3. How We Use Information

  • Provide, maintain, secure, and troubleshoot the website.
  • Measure audience activity, page performance, and aggregate usage patterns.
  • Prevent fraud, abuse, automated attacks, and invalid advertising activity.
  • Display, personalize where permitted, limit the frequency of, and measure advertisements.
  • Respond to support requests and comply with legal obligations.

4. Cookies, Web Beacons, and Similar Technologies

We and our service providers may use cookies, pixels, web beacons, scripts, tags, and browser storage. These technologies can recognize a browser, remember preferences, measure page or advertising activity, detect invalid traffic, and understand whether an advertisement was viewed or selected. A web beacon is a small electronic file or request that can record information such as an IP address, browser type, time of access, and the page or advertisement involved.

5. Google AdSense and Google Advertising Cookies

We use or may use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google and its advertising partners may place or read cookies on your browser, use web beacons, collect IP addresses or other device identifiers, and process information about visits to this and other websites to provide, personalize, limit, and measure advertisements where permitted by law.

Google's use of information from sites and apps that use its services is described in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services. Google's general data practices are described in the Google Privacy Policy.

6. Analytics and Other Service Providers

We may use Microsoft Clarity and similar analytics services to understand how visitors use the site. These providers may process IP addresses, device and browser information, page activity, interaction events, diagnostic data, cookies, and similar identifiers. Hosting, content delivery, security, advertising, and analytics providers process information under their own terms and privacy policies.

7. Third-Party Advertising and Data Sharing

Third-party advertising vendors and ad technology providers may receive or collect information through their tags, cookies, pixels, web beacons, or advertising requests. This information may include an IP address, device and browser details, page URL, referring URL, approximate location, advertising identifiers, consent choices, and advertisement interaction data.

We may share information with service providers that perform hosting, security, analytics, advertising, measurement, fraud prevention, and technical support. We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect rights or safety, or as part of a business transfer. We do not sell information that you send to our support email.

8. Embedded Demo and External Links

The RuView demo is embedded from ruvnet.github.io/RuView/, and the site links to GitHub and other external resources. When your browser loads or opens third-party content, that provider may receive your IP address, browser information, referrer, and interaction data and may use its own cookies. Third-party services are governed by their own privacy policies.

9. Advertising and Cookie Choices

You can limit or opt out of certain advertising and cookie uses through the following methods:

  • Use your browser settings to block, delete, or limit cookies and site storage. Blocking cookies may affect site or embedded-content functionality.
  • Manage Google advertising personalization through Google My Ad Center.
  • Use the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out tool where available.
  • European visitors may review participating providers through Your Online Choices.
  • Use any consent or privacy controls presented on the site to change or withdraw choices where those controls are available.

Opting out generally limits personalized advertising; it does not necessarily remove all advertising or prevent essential security and measurement processing.

10. International and Regional Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to, or receive a copy of certain personal information. You may also have the right to withdraw consent or opt out of certain targeted advertising. To submit a request, email [email protected]. We may need to verify your request before responding.

11. Data Retention and Security

We retain support messages, logs, and related information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including security, dispute resolution, and legal compliance. We use reasonable safeguards, but no internet service or storage system can guarantee complete security.

12. Children's Privacy

This site is intended for developers, researchers, and technology evaluators and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Contact us if you believe a child has provided personal information through this site.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to the website, service providers, advertising practices, or legal requirements. The effective date at the top of this page identifies the latest revision.
