WeldHelp.com provides free welding guides, tips, and informational content for welders. Your privacy is extremely important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you access or use WeldHelp.com. We follow all Privacy Requirements, including transparency requirements for Google AdSense, Google Analytics, Google Publisher Policies, and Google Consent & User Data requirements, as well as Global Data Protection standards (GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, LGPD, PDPA, etc.).

Information We Directly Collect

We do NOT collect any personally identifiable information (PII), such as name, email address, phone number, address, payment information, login information, or uploaded documents or identity data. We do not provide any registration, login, subscription, or comment system that collects personal data.

Information Collected Automatically (Third-Party Services)

Even though WeldHelp.com does not collect data directly, third-party tools we use may collect information automatically when you visit the site. Google Analytics collects non-personally identifiable information such as pages visited, page interactions, device type, browser type, approximate location at country/city level, time spent on site, and user flow & behavior. This data helps us understand website traffic and improve content quality. All data collected by Google Analytics is processed according to Google’s privacy policies, with IP anonymization enabled when available in your region, data minimization settings, and no linking of Analytics data with personally identifiable data. We use Google AdSense to display ads, where Google may use cookies, web beacons, device identifiers, browsing activity, interest categories, and non-personal identifiers for purposes including personalized ads, non-personalized ads, frequency capping, ad measurement, fraud prevention, and performance reporting. Google uses the user’s data in accordance with Google’s Privacy & Terms, Google Advertising Policies, and Google Publisher Policies (2025). Users may opt out of personalized ads by visiting https://www.google.com/settings/ads. Third-party cookies may be used for ad personalization, analytics, load balancing, preventing invalid traffic, and measuring advertisement performance. Users may disable cookies in their browser settings at any time.

Why This Information is Collected

Information is collected for website analytics to understand website performance, user engagement, content popularity, device/browser distribution, and site improvements. For advertising, it provides relevant ads (personalized or contextual), frequency limits, fraud prevention, and ad measurement & reporting. For security, third parties may automatically detect bot activity, invalid traffic, and malware-related activity.

How Information is Used

Information collected via third-party tools may be used for improving content quality, measuring website traffic, showing relevant advertising, understanding user patterns, monitoring platform security, and compliance with legal obligations. We do not sell, trade, or transfer your data to any entity.

Third-Party Data Sharing

We do not share data directly with any parties. However, Google, as a third-party provider, may process, store, or share data under its own policies for services including Google Analytics, Google Ads, Google AdSense, and Google Tag Manager (if used). You can review Google’s global privacy policy here: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

Legal Basis for Data Processing

For visitors from regions like the European Union (GDPR), United Kingdom (UK-GDPR), California (CCPA/CPRA), Brazil (LGPD), Canada (PIPEDA), and Australia (Privacy Act), third-party data collection relies on legitimate interest (analytics, security), user consent (ads personalization, cookies), contractual necessity (delivering the service), and compliance with legal obligations. Cookie consent may be required depending on your region.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights such as GDPR / UK GDPR rights including right to access, rectification, erasure, restrict processing, object, data portability, and withdraw consent, CCPA/CPRA rights (California) including right to know, delete, opt-out of sale/sharing, correct, and non-discrimination and LGPD (Brazil) rights including confirm processing, data access, correction, anonymization, portability, and deletion. Since WeldHelp.com does not collect user data, requests may be directed to Google for data they handle. Contact admin@weldhelp.com for assistance.

Child Safety & Children’s Privacy (COPPA)

WeldHelp.com is NOT intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children, do not target content toward children, and do not run interest-based ads targeting children. If you believe a child has interacted with our site in a way that uploads PII, contact us immediately at admin@weldhelp.com.

External Links & Third-Party Websites

Our website may contain links to external websites, YouTube videos, and social media pages. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices.

Data Security

We follow standard internet security practices, but we do not store personal data on our servers. Third-party services like Google use encryption, safe browsing, secure data centers, automated abuse detection, and multi-layer security.

International Data Transfers

Because we use third-party services (e.g., Google), your data may be processed in the United States, in the EU, and globally. Google complies with GDPR, EU-US Data Privacy Framework, Standard Contractual Clauses, and local Data Protection Laws.

Policy for Users in India

Under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA 2023), we do not collect or process personal data. Any data processed by Google follows their Indian compliance standards.
