Privacy Policy

Effective date: July 4, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how GeoTally ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you visit geotally.org (the "Site"). By using the Site, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

Information We Collect

We aim to collect as little personal information as possible. GeoTally is a country-comparison tool and does not require you to create an account or provide personal details to use it.

  • Log and usage data. Like most websites, our servers automatically record information your browser sends, such as your IP address, browser type and version, the pages you visit, the date and time of your visit, referring pages, and general diagnostic data. This is used to operate, secure, and improve the Site.
  • Cookies and similar technologies. We and our partners use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to remember your preferences, measure traffic, and serve and personalize advertising. See "Cookies" and "Advertising" below.
  • Information you choose to provide. If you contact us by email, we receive the information you include in your message.

We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information, and we do not sell your personal information.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use them to:

  • Remember your settings and preferences;
  • Understand how the Site is used so we can improve it; and
  • Deliver and measure advertising (through third-party partners such as Google).

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings and can set most browsers to refuse cookies. Disabling cookies may affect some features of the Site.

Advertising

We display advertisements to help keep GeoTally free. These ads are served by third-party advertising companies, including Google.

  • Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this Site and other websites.
  • Google's use of advertising cookies (including the DoubleClick/AdSense cookies) enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this Site and/or other sites on the Internet.
  • Third-party vendors and ad networks may also use cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies to collect information about your interactions with ads and content.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by Google by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can opt out of personalized advertising from many other vendors at aboutads.info/choices and youronlinechoices.eu (for users in the EU).

For more information about how Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps, see Google's Privacy & Terms.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Site (for example, which pages are most popular). Google Analytics uses cookies and collects usage data such as pages viewed and approximate location derived from IP address. This information helps us improve the Site. You can prevent Google Analytics from using your data by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. Learn more at Google's Privacy Policy.

Consent for Users in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we and our advertising partners rely on your consent to use cookies and process personal data for personalized advertising and analytics, where required by law. Where a consent mechanism is presented, you may accept, reject, or manage your choices, and you may withdraw consent at any time through your browser settings or the opt-out links above.

Your Rights and Choices

  • Cookie controls. Manage or delete cookies through your browser.
  • Ad personalization. Opt out using the links in the "Advertising" section.
  • GDPR (EEA/UK). You may have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data, and to object to processing or request portability.
  • CCPA/CPRA (California). California residents may have the right to know what personal information is collected, request deletion, and opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. We do not sell personal information.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below.

Data Retention

We retain log and usage data only as long as necessary to operate and secure the Site, comply with legal obligations, and improve our services. Data held by third parties (such as Google) is retained according to their own policies.

Children's Privacy

GeoTally is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Third-Party Links

The Site may contain links to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Effective date" above. Your continued use of the Site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
