This policy is valid from 10 November 2026.
Who we are
This policy explains how internetaid.org (“the site”, “we”) handles information about visitors. The site is operated by Internet Aid, based in Thailand.
For privacy questions, use our contact page: https://internetaid.org/contact-us/.
Internet Aid is a website that publishes information. It does not sell products, has no open user registration and does not take payments.
In short
- We do not sell personal data.
- The site uses cookies, including cookies set by third-party services listed below. You can block or delete cookies in your browser. That may affect how some parts of the site work. Where the law requires consent for non-essential cookies, those cookies should not be used until a consent tool is in place.
- You can ask us about your data, and withdraw consent where we rely on it, at any time.
- Depending on where you live, you may also have rights under the EU GDPR, Thailand’s Personal Data Protection Act, or US state laws such as the California CCPA/CPRA.
What we collect
Server logs. Our web host, offshorehostingcompany.com, automatically logs your IP address, browser type, the page you requested and the time. These logs are used for security and to keep the site running.
Comments. If you leave a comment, the site stores your name, email address, website (if given), the comment, your IP address and browser user agent. The email address is never shown publicly. An anonymised string created from your email (a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service (Automattic) to check whether you have a profile picture. WordPress may also store a cookie in your browser with your name, email and website so you do not have to enter them again.
Security and anti-spam. We use Dam Spam, Akismet to protect the site from junk comments, fake registrations and abuse. These tools may process your IP address, browser user agent, email address and the content of a comment or registration form, and may keep this information for a limited period for security.
We do not knowingly collect sensitive data, and we do not collect payment-card details on this site.
Cookies and third-party services
Cookies are small files stored in your browser. The site uses the services below, which may set cookies or similar technologies, collect device and usage data, and process data outside your country (including in the United States) under their own policies.
| Service | Purpose | Data shared | How to opt out |
|---|---|---|---|
| WordPress | Runs the site and, if you comment or log in, remembers your details | Stored in your browser (and account data on the server if you have an account) | Browser settings; or delete your comments or account, if you have one |
| offshorehostingcompany.com (server logs) | Security and technical delivery | IP address, browser type, requested page, time | Essential for running the site |
| Gravatar (Automattic) | Checks for a profile picture when you comment | An anonymised hash of your email address | Do not enter an email, or use an email not registered with Gravatar |
| ShortPixel | Optimises and may serve images through a content-delivery network | IP address and the image URL requested | Essential to how images are delivered on this site |
Google explains how it uses data from sites that use its services here: Google’s partner-sites policy.
Other processors. Our web host is offshorehostingcompany.com. Other companies that may process limited technical or content data on our behalf include the providers named in the table above. We do not control how those companies use data they receive under their own policies.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser at any time. Some parts of the site may then work differently.
Legal basis, consent and retention
Some of the services above use non-essential cookies. Where the law requires consent before those cookies are used (including in the EU, EEA, UK and Switzerland), we intend to use a consent tool. Until that tool is in place, you can block cookies in your browser and use the opt-out links in this policy. Site Kit or a similar tool may default some Google consents to “denied”; that is not the same as asking you for a choice through a cookie banner.
Server logs and security data are processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in running a secure site, and comment data on the same basis and to display your comment. Replies to messages you send us are based on your request.
How long data is kept:
- Server logs: only as long as needed for security and to keep the site running, as determined by our host.
- Comments: as long as the comment is published, or until you ask us to delete it.
- Contact-form or email enquiries: until the matter is handled, then deleted or archived within 12 months unless the law requires a longer record.
- Anti-spam and security logs: only as long as needed for security (typically a limited number of weeks or months).
Third parties named in this policy may process data outside your country, including in the United States, under their own safeguards (for example, their published transfer mechanisms). We do not operate our own separate transfer contracts with each of those providers.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have some or all of the following rights. This includes the EU GDPR, Thailand’s Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA), and, if you are a resident of California or certain other US states, laws such as the CCPA/CPRA.
You can ask us to:
- show you the personal data we hold about you
- correct or delete it
- restrict or object to how we use it
- give you a copy of data you provided to us, in a portable format, where that right applies
- withdraw your consent at any time, where we rely on consent
If you are a California resident, you may also have the right to know, delete and correct personal information, to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information as those words are used in the CCPA/CPRA, and not to be discriminated against for exercising those rights. If we use advertising cookies that California treats as “sharing,” you can use the opt-out links above. We do not sell personal information for money.
Use https://internetaid.org/contact-us/ and we will reply within 30 days, or sooner if a shorter period is required by law. You may use an authorised agent where the law allows it; we may need to verify your identity and the agent’s authority. You can also complain to your local data protection authority (in Thailand, the Personal Data Protection Committee; in the EEA, your lead supervisory authority).
We do not knowingly “sell” or “share” personal data as a business practice. Advertising technologies on a site can still qualify as “sharing” under some US state laws; the opt-outs above are the practical way to object.
Children
The site is not aimed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their data. If you believe a child has provided personal data, contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
We update this policy when the site’s services change. The date at the top shows the latest version.
