Privacy Policy

Effective date: September 3, 2026

SinoPrism (“SinoPrism”, “we”, “us” or “our”) operates the website https://sinoprism.com (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit the Site, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have. By using the Site you agree to the practices described here.

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide. If you leave a comment, contact us, or subscribe to a newsletter, we collect the information you submit, such as your name, email address, and the content of your message.

Information collected automatically. When you visit the Site, our servers and third-party services automatically record certain information, including your IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, referring URL, the pages you view, the date and time of your visit, and time spent on pages. This information is collected through server logs, cookies, and similar technologies.

2. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We and our partners use cookies, web beacons, pixels, and similar technologies to operate the Site, remember your preferences, understand how the Site is used, and deliver and measure advertising.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. If you disable cookies, some parts of the Site may not work as intended.

3. Advertising and Google AdSense

We display advertisements served by Google AdSense and may also work with other third-party advertising networks. Please note the following:

  • Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this Site or other websites.
  • Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this Site and/or other sites on the Internet.
  • You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices or, in the EU, www.youronlinechoices.eu.
  • Third-party ad servers and ad networks may use technologies such as cookies, JavaScript, or web beacons in the advertisements and links that appear on the Site. They automatically receive your IP address when this occurs. These technologies are used to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns and to personalize the advertising content you see. SinoPrism has no access to or control over cookies used by third-party advertisers.
  • For more information about how Google uses data when you use our Site, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services and Google’s Advertising Privacy & Terms.

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we will ask for your consent before personalized advertising cookies are set, and you can change your choice at any time using the privacy settings link in the Site footer or the consent message shown on your first visit.

4. Analytics

We may use analytics services such as Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Site. These services collect information such as pages visited, time on site, and approximate location derived from your IP address, and may set their own cookies. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

5. How We Use Information

  • To operate, maintain, and improve the Site and its content.
  • To respond to your comments, questions, and requests.
  • To send newsletters or updates you have subscribed to. You can unsubscribe at any time.
  • To display and measure advertising, including personalized advertising where you have consented.
  • To monitor and analyze usage and trends, and to protect the security and integrity of the Site.
  • To comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Use.

6. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:

  • Service providers that host the Site, deliver email, or provide analytics and advertising services on our behalf, including Google.
  • Advertising partners, as described in Section 3, which may collect information through cookies and similar technologies.
  • Legal and safety recipients when we believe disclosure is required by law, regulation, or legal process, or is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of SinoPrism, our users, or others.
  • Successors in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, in which case your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

7. Data Retention

We keep personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law. Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely so that follow-up comments can be recognized automatically. Server logs are typically retained for a limited period for security and diagnostic purposes.

8. Your Rights and Choices

Visitors in the EEA, UK and Switzerland (GDPR). You have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your personal data, the right to data portability, and the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw consent at any time. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

California residents (CCPA/CPRA). You have the right to know what personal information we collect, use, and disclose; the right to request deletion; the right to correct inaccurate information; the right to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising; and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights. Because personalized advertising may be considered “sharing” under California law, you can opt out using the advertising controls described in Section 3 or by contacting us.

All visitors. You can opt out of personalized advertising, disable cookies in your browser, and unsubscribe from any emails we send. To exercise any of the rights above, contact us using the details in Section 13. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

9. Children’s Privacy

The Site is not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 where a higher age applies), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

10. Third-Party Links

The Site contains links to other websites and embedded content from third parties (for example, videos or social media posts). Those sites and services have their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to read. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices.

11. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information we hold, including HTTPS encryption. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

12. International Transfers

The Site is available worldwide. Information we collect may be stored and processed in countries other than your own, including countries that may not provide the same level of data protection as your home jurisdiction. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for such transfers.
