Privacy & Cookie Policy

Overview

Our approach to privacy

GoodTricks provides free educational magic content. You can browse most of the website without creating an account or directly giving us personal information.

Information you provide

When you contact GoodTricks, we may receive your name, email address and the contents of your message. We use this information to respond, provide support, prevent misuse and retain necessary records.

Information collected automatically

The hosting provider and website-security systems may process technical data such as IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, requested pages, timestamps and diagnostic information. This may be used to deliver the website, detect abuse, troubleshoot faults and maintain security.

Cookies and similar technologies

GoodTricks may use strictly necessary, analytics, advertising and embedded-content technologies. Where consent is required, non-essential technologies should remain disabled until you make a choice through the site's cookie controls. You should also be able to withdraw or change that choice.

Embedded YouTube videos

Some GoodTricks pages may contain videos embedded from YouTube, a service operated by Google. When a page containing an embedded YouTube video is loaded, or when you play or interact with the video, YouTube and Google may receive information such as your IP address, browser and device information, the page you visited and details of your interaction with the video.

YouTube may also use cookies or similar technologies, particularly if you are signed in to a Google account. Where consent is legally required, embedded YouTube content and related non-essential technologies should not be loaded until you have made an appropriate choice through the website's cookie controls.

GoodTricks does not control how YouTube or Google process information. Their processing is governed by their own privacy policies and terms.

Analytics and advertising

GoodTricks may use analytics or advertising providers. If enabled, those providers may process browser, device, approximate-location and usage information under their own privacy terms and subject to applicable consent rules.

Embedded content and external links

Pages may contain embedded videos, images or other third-party material. Loading or interacting with that material may allow the provider to process information under its own privacy policy. GoodTricks does not control the privacy practices of external websites.

How information is used

Information may be used to operate and secure the website, respond to enquiries, understand performance, improve tutorials, prevent fraud or abuse, enforce the Terms of Use and comply with legal obligations.

Sharing information

GoodTricks does not sell personal information in the ordinary sense of exchanging it for money. Information may be shared with hosting, security, analytics, advertising, email or technical-service providers where needed to operate the website, or where disclosure is required by law.

Retention and security

Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including legal, security and record-keeping needs. Reasonable safeguards are used, but no internet service can guarantee absolute security.

Children's privacy

GoodTricks is a general-audience educational website and is not intended to collect personal information directly from children. Children should ask a parent or guardian before contacting the website.

Your rights

Depending on the circumstances, UK data-protection law may give you rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction or a copy of your personal information, to object to certain processing and to withdraw consent where consent is relied upon.

You may also complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office if you believe your information has been handled unlawfully.

International processing

The website is hosted by a provider based in Canada, and service providers may process information outside the United Kingdom. Where required, appropriate safeguards should be used for international transfers.

Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated as the website, service providers or legal requirements change. The date at the top of the page shows the latest revision.
