Privacy Policy

Last updated: [add date when you launch]

Overview

This policy explains what information Meridian Ledger ("we", "us") collects when you visit this site, and how it is used. Replace the bracketed details below with your own before launch.

Information we collect

We do not require account registration to read this site. We may collect standard technical information automatically, including your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and referring site, via analytics and advertising technology described below.

Cookies and advertising

This site displays advertising served by third-party providers, including Google AdSense[/and NETWORK NAME — add your second ad partner here]. These providers use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings, or generally via aboutads.info.

If you are located in the UK or EU, we display a cookie consent notice on your first visit, allowing you to accept or reject non-essential cookies before personalized ads are shown.

Analytics

We may use analytics tools [name your analytics provider, e.g. Cloudflare Web Analytics or Google Analytics] to understand aggregate traffic patterns. This data is used in anonymized or aggregated form and is not used to identify you individually.

Data sharing

We do not sell personal information. Third-party advertising and analytics providers may process data under their own privacy policies; we encourage you to review Google's Privacy Policy.

Your choices

You can control cookies through your browser settings, and opt out of personalized advertising using the links above. Doing so does not stop advertising, but ads may be less relevant to you.

This is a starting template, not legal advice. Before launch, especially if you expect UK/EU or California traffic, have this reviewed against current GDPR, UK GDPR, and CCPA requirements — the specific obligations (like cookie consent banners) depend on where your visitors are located and can change over time.
