Privacy Policy for The Silver Compass
Last Updated: May 2026
At The Silver Compass, we create YouTube videos to help seniors navigate modern technology with confidence. We care deeply about your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what little information our website collects, how it is used, and how we protect it.
1. Information We Collect (And What We Don’t)
- No Comments or Forms: We do not allow comments on our website, and we do not have a contact form. Therefore, you cannot accidentally leave personal messages, names, or contact information on our site.
- Future Email Notifications: In the future, we plan to offer an email newsletter to notify you when a new video is released. If you choose to sign up for this feature when it becomes available, we will collect your email address solely for that purpose. We will never sell, rent, or lease your email address to third parties.
2. Embedded Videos and Cookies
We embed our technology tutorial videos directly from our YouTube channel onto this website.
Because YouTube is owned by Google, loading or watching these embedded videos may allow Google/YouTube to place small data files called “cookies” on your computer or device. These cookies help YouTube track video views, maintain your volume preferences, and analyze traffic.
We do not have access to or control over the data Google collects through these videos. You can learn more by reading the Google & YouTube Privacy Policy.
3. Web Analytics and Log Data
Like most websites, our website hosting server may automatically record standard, anonymous information when you visit us (such as your web browser type, the page you came from, and the date and time of your visit). This data does not identify you personally and is only used to keep our website running smoothly.
4. Your Rights and Choices
You have complete control over your internet privacy:
- Block Cookies: You can set your web browser to refuse all cookies or to warn you when a cookie is being sent.
- Email Opt-Out: Once our email notification system is live, every email we send will include a clear “Unsubscribe” link at the bottom. You can opt out at any time, and we will delete your email address from our records immediately.
5. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services or privacy laws. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date.
6. Contact Us
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, you can reach out to us through our official YouTube channel page or email us at info@thesilver-compass.com.
