How WorthWatch handles limited information.

Who we are

WorthWatch is a curated digital media discovery platform that helps people find channels, shows, creators, and content sources that may be worth their time.

WorthWatch is operated by the publisher of the WorthWatch website. Privacy questions can be sent through our Contact page.

For privacy-related questions, use the Contact page.

What this policy covers

This policy applies to WorthWatch public pages, including category pages, channel pages, editorial summaries, SEO guide pages, About, Contact, and future advertising-related pages.

It does not apply to external websites or platforms we link to. When you leave WorthWatch and visit another service, that service's own privacy policy applies.

Information we collect

If you use the Contact page, we may collect the information you choose to send, such as your name, email address, topic, subject, and message.

We use Contact information only to review and respond to your message, protect the website from abuse, and maintain necessary operational records.

When you visit WorthWatch, limited technical information may be processed to operate and protect the website. This may include device and browser information, pages visited, dates and times of access, referral information, performance information, and basic security signals.

WorthWatch also records privacy-light outbound click events when visitors choose to open an external source link. These events help us understand whether recommendations are useful. They are not used to create public profiles of visitors.

Contact form protection

To reduce spam and abuse, the Contact form uses basic protective checks such as validation, rate limiting, timing checks, and non-reversible request fingerprints.

We do not intentionally store raw IP addresses or raw request headers for Contact messages.

Cookies and advertising

WorthWatch may use essential technologies needed for website functionality, security, and performance.

If advertising is enabled, third-party advertising providers, including Google, may use cookies or similar technologies to serve, measure, and improve ads. These technologies may process information such as device identifiers, browser information, ad interactions, and page views.

Where legally required, visitors will be asked for consent before non-essential cookies or personalized advertising technologies are used.

How we use information

We use collected information to operate WorthWatch, protect the website from abuse, respond to Contact messages, understand general site usage, measure outbound interest in recommended sources, improve page quality and user experience, and comply with legal obligations.

We do not use visitor personal information to create public scoring decisions. WorthWatch evaluates content sources, not individual visitors.

Legal basis

Where applicable, we process information based on legitimate interests, consent, legal obligations, or the need to respond to requests submitted by visitors.

Legitimate interests include operating the website, improving the experience, measuring aggregate usefulness, preventing abuse, and protecting site integrity.

External links

WorthWatch links to external media platforms, creator pages, and third-party websites.

When you click an external link, you leave WorthWatch. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or policies of external services.

Sharing information

We do not sell personal information.

We may use service providers needed to operate the website, such as hosting, security, analytics, database, or advertising providers. These providers process information only as needed to provide their services.

We may also disclose information if required by law or necessary to protect the security, rights, or integrity of WorthWatch.

How long we keep information

We keep personal information only for as long as needed.

Contact messages may be kept while they are being reviewed or answered, then deleted when no longer needed. Outbound click and operational records may be kept in limited or aggregated form to understand site performance and protect the service.

Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, or withdrawal of consent regarding your personal information.

You may send privacy requests through the Contact page. We may need to verify the request before responding.

To make a privacy request, use the Contact page.

Children's privacy

WorthWatch is not designed to collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child without appropriate consent, we will take steps to delete it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as WorthWatch evolves, especially if we add new features or third-party services that affect how information is handled.

The "Last updated" date will show when the policy was most recently changed.
