Information processed when you visit

Like most websites, the web host and connected services may receive technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device details, pages requested, and the time of a request. This information is used to operate, secure, and improve the site.

When you enter information into a site feature, use only information you are comfortable sharing. Do not submit sensitive personal information through community listings or external group links.

Cookies and advertising

Circles may display advertising provided by Google AdSense. Google and its advertising partners may use cookies, device identifiers, or similar technologies to deliver and measure ads, limit repeated ads, and, where permitted, personalize advertising.

You can manage advertising preferences through Google's My Ad Center and control cookies through your browser settings. Where consent is required by law, an appropriate consent choice will be presented before personalized advertising is used.

Third-party services and links

The directory contains links and resources provided by third parties, including WhatsApp, news publishers, and public-information sources. These services have their own privacy practices and policies. Circles does not control how third parties collect or use data after you leave this site or interact with their content.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when the site or applicable requirements change. The current version will always be published on this page.
