This is a template privacy policy drafted for Aquarium DIY. Please review it carefully, adjust it for your situation, and replace this notice before relying on it as your final policy. It is not legal advice.

Aquarium DIY (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates https://aquariumdiy.com/ (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and share information when you visit or use the Site.
Information we collect
Information you provide
If you email us (for example at admin@aquariumdiy.com), we receive the content of your message and any contact details you include, such as your email address and name.
If we later offer an email newsletter, we will collect the email address (and any other details) you submit when you subscribe. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in those emails or by contacting us.
If we later sell digital products (such as downloadable aquarium plans), we may collect the information needed to process your order, deliver your files, and provide support. Payment card details are typically handled by a third-party payment processor and are not stored on our servers.
Analytics (Koko Analytics)
We use Koko Analytics, a privacy-friendly analytics tool. Koko Analytics is designed to be cookieless: it does not use cookies and does not collect personally identifiable information for tracking visitors across sites. It helps us understand general traffic patterns (for example, which pages are visited and roughly how many visits the Site receives) so we can improve content and performance.
Server and technical data
Like most websites, our hosting environment may automatically log standard technical information such as IP address, browser type, referring URL, and timestamps. This data is used for security, troubleshooting, and reliable operation of the Site.
How we use information
- To operate, maintain, and improve the Site
- To respond to messages you send us
- To send newsletter or product-related emails if you opt in (when those features are available)
- To fulfill digital product orders and provide customer support (when a store is available)
- To understand aggregate usage of the Site through privacy-friendly analytics
- To protect the Site against abuse and security threats
Affiliate links
In the future, the Site may include affiliate links (for example to Amazon or aquarium retailers). Clicking those links may take you to a third-party site. Those third parties have their own privacy practices. We do not control how they collect or use your information. See our Affiliate Disclosure for more about how affiliate relationships work when they are in place.
Cookies and similar technologies
Koko Analytics does not rely on cookies for tracking. Other features we add later (such as a shopping cart, login, or newsletter tools) may set cookies that are necessary for those features to work, or that remember preferences. When we introduce tools that use non-essential cookies, we will update this policy and any consent notices as needed.
Sharing of information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with service providers who help us run the Site (hosting, email delivery, payment processing, analytics), only as needed for those services. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights, users, or the Site.
Data retention
We keep information only as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described above, unless a longer period is required by law. You may ask us to delete information you provided (such as an email subscription) by contacting us.
Your choices
- You can contact us to request access to or deletion of personal information you have provided, subject to applicable law
- You can unsubscribe from marketing or newsletter emails using the unsubscribe link (when a list exists)
- You can choose not to click affiliate or third-party links
Children’s privacy
The Site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to remove it.
Third-party sites
The Site may link to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. Review their policies before providing personal information.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the Site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
