Privacy Policy

Introduction

Welcome to the WhoIsNext privacy policy. At WhoIsNext.net, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy will inform you about how we handle your data when you visit our website and tell you about your privacy rights.

The Data We Collect

Our website is designed to display random images in a non-repeating sequence. We collect very minimal data:

  • Session data: We store temporary session information to track which images have been shown to you already. This data is not used to identify you personally and is deleted when your session expires.
  • Standard server logs: Our servers automatically collect basic information about your visit, including IP address, browser type, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps. This information cannot personally identify you and is used only for website operation and security purposes.

Cookies

We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit our website.

Essential Cookies

We use the following cookies that are necessary for the website to function properly:

  • cookieConsent: Stores your preference regarding cookie usage (accepted or declined). Duration: 1 year.
  • Session cookie: Used to maintain your session and remember which images have been shown to you. Duration: Until browser is closed or after 30 minutes of inactivity.

We do not use any third-party cookies, advertising cookies, or tracking cookies. We do not share cookie data with any third parties.

Managing Cookies

You can control and/or delete cookies as you wish. You can delete all cookies that are already on your computer and you can set most browsers to prevent them from being placed. If you do this, however, you may have to manually adjust some preferences every time you visit our site, and some services and functionalities may not work as expected.

How We Use Your Data

We use the session data solely to enhance your browsing experience by ensuring you see all available images before any repeats occur. We do not:

  • Sell your data to third parties
  • Use your data for marketing purposes
  • Track your activity across other websites
  • Use cookies for advertising

Data Retention

Session data is temporarily stored in memory and is automatically deleted after 30 minutes of inactivity or when you close your browser. Server logs may be retained for up to 30 days for security and performance monitoring.

Your Rights

Under various privacy laws, you have rights related to your personal data. Since we collect minimal data that cannot identify you personally, most of these rights have limited application to our website. However, you can:

  • Clear your browser cache and cookies to remove any session data
  • Use your browser in incognito/private mode to prevent session data storage

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page. We encourage you to review this privacy policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your data.
