Most privacy policies are long because the site is doing a lot with your data. This one is short because adap.net does almost nothing with it. There are no accounts, no tracking profiles, and nothing about you is ever sold. Here is the full picture anyway, in plain language.
What this site collects
adap.net offers every guide without registration. It does not ask for your name, email address, phone number or payment details, and there is no login, no newsletter sign-up and no form that gathers personal information. Because you never give us these things, we never hold them. The site also does not build advertising or behavioral profiles about visitors, and it does not try to recognize you from one visit to the next.
Cookies and tracking
The site sets no advertising cookies and runs no analytics that identify you. It does not embed third-party trackers, social media widgets, advertising networks or "like" buttons, which are the pieces that usually follow people around the web. You should be able to read every page here without anything watching what you do. If this ever changes, this page will say so first, in plain language, before any such tool is added.
What your browser stores
The guides are ordinary web pages, so your own browser may keep the usual local copies of pages, images and fonts to make the site load faster next time. That information lives on your device, not on our server, and clearing your browser data removes it completely. We do not read it.
Server logs
Like almost every website, the server that delivers these pages keeps standard technical logs, such as the page requested, the date and time, an IP address and the type of browser, for security and reliability. These logs help spot problems and abuse. They are kept only as long as is operationally necessary, and they are not used to identify individual readers or to build a picture of your browsing.
Links to official sources
Some guides link out to official government sources, such as Medicaid and Social Security, so you can check the current rules for yourself. Those sites are run by other organizations and have their own privacy policies, which apply the moment you leave adap.net. Linking to a site is not an endorsement of its privacy practices, so it is worth a quick look at their policy when a decision matters.
If you email us
If you choose to write to us through the contact page, we will see your message and your email address, and we use them only to reply and, where it helps, to fix a guide. We do not add you to any mailing list and we do not share your message. Please do not send sensitive documents such as case numbers or medical records, as email is not the right place for them and we do not need them.
Why the site is built this way
People often arrive here while dealing with health, money and legal worries, at a moment when the last thing they need is another site quietly collecting data about them. Keeping the site free of tracking is a deliberate choice, not an oversight. It means we cannot show you personalized content, and we are fine with that trade, because a calm, private place to read is worth more than the small conveniences tracking would buy.
Children's privacy
This is a general information site for a broad audience and is not directed at children, and it does not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children.
Changes and your choices
Because nothing personal is collected, there is generally nothing to request, correct or delete. If this policy changes, the updated version will appear on this page. Any questions about how the site handles data can be raised through the contact page, and we will answer plainly.
