Use of thedecisionbuddy.com is at your own risk. We accept no liability for any direct or indirect damages or consequences resulting from decisions made using our website.
Our core application logic (decisions and inputs) runs entirely client-side and processes your data exclusively in your browser, without storing or transmitting it to any server. However, for the purpose of displaying advertisements, we integrate third-party ad providers. These providers may collect data directly from your browser, such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, and potentially other identifiers (e.g., ad IDs). This data collection is solely for the purpose of delivering and measuring the effectiveness of advertising, which may include personalized or contextual ads. Minimal server logs (e.g., IP address, access time, referrer) are automatically recorded for website operation and security purposes only. These are the only data points our infrastructure processes directly.
Our website uses technically necessary cookies from our hosting provider Namecheap. These cookies are required for the secure operation of the website and are not used for tracking purposes by us. Additionally, our third-party ad providers (e.g., highperformanceformat.com) may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect information for advertising purposes, such as tracking your interactions with ads and delivering personalized content. For more information on their data practices, please refer to their respective privacy policies.
We do not actively share your personal data with third parties. However, as described under 'Data Collection' and 'Cookies', our integrated third-party ad providers (e.g., highperformanceformat.com) collect data directly from your browser for advertising purposes. This data is processed by them according to their own privacy policies.
While no active data collection or sharing occurs by us, the third-party ad providers integrated into our website may be located outside of Switzerland and the European Union (e.g., in the United States). When you access our website, data collected by these ad providers (as described above) may be transferred to and processed in countries that may not offer the same level of data protection as your home country. We rely on standard contractual clauses (SCCs) or other appropriate safeguards provided by these third-party providers where required by law.
The minimal data processing (server logs) is based solely on legitimate interests for technical operation and security of the website. The processing of data by third-party ad providers for advertising purposes is based on your consent (where legally required, e.g., via a consent management platform) or their legitimate interests, depending on their practices and applicable law.
Server logs are retained for a maximum of 30 days and then automatically deleted.
This service is not intended for children under 16 years old. We do not intentionally collect personal data from children.
Depending on your location, you may have rights including:
As we only process temporary server logs, most rights may have limited applicability.
To exercise your rights, contact us at thedecisionbuddy@gmail.com.
As we process only minimal technical data (server logs), our security measures are limited to basic server infrastructure protection. All decision-making functionality runs locally in your browser without data storage.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted here with the updated date.
