1. Introduction & Our Commitment to Privacy

Welcome to Girls WA Group Link, accessible at https://girlswagroup.link/ ("the Website," "we," "us," or "our"). We operate as a public directory service, providing publicly available invite links to WhatsApp groups that cater to a female and adult audience. Our mission is to facilitate community and connection in a straightforward and transparent manner. This Privacy Policy outlines our principles and practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information when you use our Service. It also informs you about your privacy rights and how the law protects you.

We take your privacy seriously. Our core philosophy is to collect the absolute minimum amount of data necessary to operate and maintain our service effectively. We do not require user accounts, and we do not ask for personal identifiers like your name, email, or phone number to browse and use our directory. Your trust is paramount, and this document aims to provide you with complete clarity on our data practices. By using our Website, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree with the terms outlined herein, please do not use our Service.

2. Scope of This Policy & Age Restriction

This Privacy Policy applies to all information processed by us in connection with your use of the Website. It does not extend to the data practices of the third-party WhatsApp groups themselves, which are governed by their own administrators and WhatsApp's own Privacy Policy. Once you click a join link and leave our Website, we have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.

Crucially, our Website is intended exclusively for users who are 18 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect, solicit, or maintain personal information from anyone under the age of 18. The content available through our directory may include topics of an adult nature, and is not suitable for minors. If you are under 18, you must leave this website immediately. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected data from a minor, we will take immediate and decisive steps to delete that information from our servers. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with any information, please contact us at [email protected] so that we can take necessary action.

3. Information We Do Not Collect

To be explicitly clear, we have designed our service to function without needing your personal data. We **DO NOT** collect the following types of information:

  • Personal Identifiers: We do not require or collect your first name, last name, email address, phone number, physical address, or any other direct personal identifiers.
  • Account Information: We do not have a user registration system. You do not create an account or password to use our service.
  • Financial Information: We do not sell any products or services. We do not collect credit card details, bank account information, or any other payment data.
  • Social Media Profiles: We do not integrate with social media login systems (e.g., "Connect with Facebook"). We do not collect or have access to your social media profile information.
  • Content You Create in Groups: Any conversations, messages, media, or other content you share within a WhatsApp group are outside the scope of our service and are not collected by us.

4. Information We Do Collect & Its Purpose

While we avoid personal data, we do collect a limited amount of non-personally identifiable and technical information to ensure the functionality, security, and improvement of our Website. This collection is standard practice for most modern websites.

A. Log Data & Usage Information (Automatically Collected)
When you access the Website, our servers automatically record information that your browser sends. This "Log Data" is anonymous and may include information such as:

  • Internet Protocol (IP) Address: A numerical label assigned to your device. We use this for security purposes (e.g., blocking malicious traffic, rate limiting) and for aggregated analytics (e.g., determining the country of origin of our traffic). We do not use it to personally identify you.
  • Browser Type and Version: For example, Chrome, Firefox, or Safari, and its version number. This helps us ensure our Website is compatible with the browsers our visitors use.
  • Pages Visited: The specific pages you access on our Website and the time and date of your visit.
  • Time Spent on Pages: The duration of your visit to particular pages.
  • Referring Website: The URL of the website you came from before visiting ours, if applicable.

B. Information from Tracking Technologies & Cookies
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track activity on our Service and hold certain information. Cookies are small files placed on your device. They are essential for the functioning of our analytics and advertising partners. We use them for the following purposes:

  • Analytics: To understand how our service is being used, which categories are popular, and how we can improve the user experience.
  • Advertising: To facilitate the display of advertisements, which helps keep our service free to use. These cookies may be used by our ad partners to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads on other sites.

You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, some parts of our Website may not function properly.

5. Use of Google Analytics

We utilize Google Analytics, a web analytics service offered by Google that tracks and reports website traffic. Google uses the data collected to track and monitor the use of our Service. This data is shared with other Google services. Google may use the collected data to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network.

Google Analytics collects data such as which pages you visit, how long you stay, and your general geographic location (e.g., country or city). This information is aggregated and anonymized, and we use it exclusively for internal analysis to improve our Website's content and performance. We do not combine Google Analytics information with personally identifiable information.

For more information on the privacy practices of Google, please visit the Google Privacy & Terms web page: https://policies.google.com/privacy. You can also opt-out of having your activity on the Service made available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

6. Third-Party Advertising

To support the operational costs of this free service, we display advertisements on our Website, which are served by third-party advertising networks. These companies may use cookies, web beacons, and other technologies to collect information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide you with relevant advertisements about goods and services that may be of interest to you.

This information is generally non-personally identifiable and may include your IP address, browser type, and information about the content you are viewing. The data collected by these ad networks is used for purposes such as:

  • Controlling the number of times you see a particular ad.
  • Delivering ads that are relevant to your interests (interest-based advertising).
  • Measuring the effectiveness of ad campaigns.

We do not have access to or control over the cookies or technologies that these third-party advertisers may use. Their data practices are governed by their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of our advertising partners to understand how they collect and use data. You can often opt-out of personalized advertising by visiting the ad settings in your Google account or through industry opt-out pages like the Network Advertising Initiative's website.

7. Data Security & Retention

We are committed to protecting the limited information we collect. We implement a variety of administrative and technical security measures designed to protect against unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure of Log Data. These measures include using secure server protocols (HTTPS) and limiting internal access to data.

However, it is important to remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

We retain the non-personally identifiable Log Data we collect for a limited period necessary for security analysis, traffic pattern analysis, and to improve our Website's functionality. This data is typically retained for a period ranging from several months to a year, after which it is aggregated or deleted.

8. Your Data Protection Rights Under GDPR (For European Users)

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), you have certain data protection rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We aim to take reasonable steps to allow you to correct, amend, delete, or limit the use of your Personal Data. As we do not collect direct Personal Data, these rights primarily apply to the pseudonymous data collected via cookies and your IP address.

  • The right to access, update or delete the information we have on you. Since we don't maintain user profiles, this right is primarily exercised through your browser's cookie settings.
  • The right of rectification. You have the right to have your information rectified if that information is inaccurate or incomplete.
  • The right to object. You have the right to object to our processing of your data, which can be done by opting out of analytics and advertising cookies.
  • The right of restriction. You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your information.
  • The right to data portability. You have the right to be provided with a copy of the information we have on you in a structured, machine-readable and commonly used format.
  • The right to withdraw consent. You also have the right to withdraw your consent at any time where we relied on your consent to process your information.

Please note that we may ask you to verify your identity before responding to such requests. To exercise these rights, you can typically manage your cookie preferences through your browser or use industry opt-out tools. For specific requests, please contact us.

9. Your Privacy Rights Under CCPA/CPRA (For California Residents)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), provides you with specific rights regarding your personal information. These include the right to know what personal information is being collected, the right to delete personal information, the right to opt-out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information, and the right to correct inaccurate personal information.

Under the CCPA/CPRA definitions, the use of third-party advertising cookies may be considered a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. You have the right to opt-out of this activity. We provide a "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link or mechanism on our website to facilitate this right. We do not discriminate against users who exercise their privacy rights.

"Do Not Track" Signals under CalOPPA: The California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA) requires us to disclose how we respond to "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals. Our Website does not currently alter its practices when it receives a DNT signal from a visitor's browser. Our third-party partners, such as advertising networks, may or may not respond to DNT signals, as governed by their respective privacy policies.

10. Links to Other Websites

Our Service contains links to other websites that are not operated by us, namely the WhatsApp group invite links. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third-party sites or services.

We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit. The communities you join are independent entities, and their rules, moderation, and data practices are entirely separate from ours. Your participation in these groups is at your own risk.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.

We will let you know via a prominent notice on our Service, prior to the change becoming effective, and update the "Effective Date" at the top of this Privacy Policy. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
