At SandSpan, accessible from sandspan.com, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document contains types of information that is collected and recorded by SandSpan and how we use it.
1. Information We Collect
SandSpan does not require you to register or create an account. We do not collect any personal information directly. The only data we store is what your browser keeps locally — your starred favorite units, recent conversions, and dark/light theme preference. This data is stored in your browser's localStorage and is never transmitted to us or any third party.
2. Log Files
SandSpan follows a standard procedure of using log files. These files log visitors when they visit websites. All hosting companies do this as part of hosting services' analytics. The information collected by log files includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamp, referring/exit pages, and possibly the number of clicks. These are not linked to any information that is personally identifiable. The purpose of the information is for analyzing trends, administering the site, tracking users' movement on the website, and gathering demographic information.
3. Cookies and Web Beacons
SandSpan uses cookies to store information about visitors' preferences, and to optimize the user experience.
4. Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising
SandSpan uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google is one of the largest third-party vendors on the internet and uses cookies (known as the DART cookie) to serve ads to our site visitors based upon their visit to sandspan.com and other sites on the internet.
How Google uses data:
- Google uses cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to our website and other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings at: https://www.google.com/settings/ads

Third-Party Ad Networks:
In addition to Google AdSense, other third-party ad servers or ad networks may use technologies like cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons in their advertisements and links that appear on SandSpan. They automatically receive your IP address when this occurs. These technologies are used to measure the effectiveness of their advertising campaigns and/or to personalize the advertising content that you see on websites that you visit.
Note that SandSpan has no access to or control over these cookies that are used by third-party advertisers.
5. Third-Party Privacy Policies
SandSpan's Privacy Policy does not apply to other advertisers or websites. We advise you to consult the respective Privacy Policies of these third-party ad servers for more detailed information. It may include their practices and instructions about how to opt-out of certain options.
You can choose to disable cookies through your individual browser options. More detailed information about cookie management with specific web browsers can be found at the browsers' respective websites.
6. Children's Information
Another part of our priority is adding protection for children while using the internet. We encourage parents and guardians to observe, participate in, and/or monitor and guide their online activity.
SandSpan does not knowingly collect any Personal Identifiable Information from children under the age of 13. If you think that your child provided this kind of information on our website, we strongly encourage you to contact us immediately and we will do our best efforts to promptly remove such information from our records.
