Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to better understand how visitors interact with Ascending Fortune. Google Analytics may collect information about website usage, including pages viewed, interactions, device information, approximate geographic information, and other usage data.

Google states that Google Analytics does not log or store individual IP addresses for users located in the European Union, European Economic Area, Switzerland, or the United Kingdom. IP addresses may be used temporarily to derive approximate geographic information before being discarded.

Information generated through Google Analytics may be processed by Google in accordance with Google’s own privacy policies and applicable data protection arrangements.

Where required by applicable law, Google Analytics or associated non-essential storage technologies will only be activated after you have provided the appropriate consent through our consent management system.

Google AdSense and Advertising

Ascending Fortune uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google and its advertising partners may use cookies, web beacons, local storage, device identifiers, or similar technologies to deliver, measure, personalize, and evaluate advertisements, subject to applicable law and your consent choices.

Depending on your location and consent choices, advertisements may be personalized or non-personalized. Personalized advertising may use information about your activity or interests to select advertisements that may be more relevant to you.

Google and participating advertising technology providers may process information in accordance with their own privacy policies and applicable data protection requirements.

Where legally required, advertising cookies and technologies that require consent will not be used until you have made the relevant choice through our consent management platform.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Ascending Fortune and services used on our website may use cookies and similar technologies. These technologies help us operate the website, remember privacy preferences, understand website traffic and performance, and support advertising.

Depending on your preferences and applicable law, these technologies may be used for:

  • Providing essential website functionality

  • Measuring website traffic and performance

  • Understanding how visitors interact with the website

  • Supporting and measuring advertisements

Legal Bases for Processing

If the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), UK GDPR, or similar legislation applies to you, we process personal data only where we have an appropriate legal basis.

Depending on the circumstances, this may include:

Consent: Where you have given permission for a particular type of processing, such as certain analytics or advertising technologies.

Legitimate interests: Where processing is reasonably necessary to operate, secure, understand, or improve Ascending Fortune and those interests are not overridden by your rights.

Legal obligations: Where processing is necessary to comply with applicable law.

Steps taken at your request: Where processing is necessary to respond to a request or communication you initiated.

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.

Third-Party Service Providers

We may use third-party companies and service providers to operate and support Ascending Fortune. These providers may process information when necessary to perform services on our behalf or for their own purposes as permitted by applicable law.

These providers may include:

  • Google Analytics for website analytics
  • Google AdSense and associated advertising technology providers for advertising
  • Website hosting and infrastructure providers
  • Security and anti-spam providers
  • Other technical providers necessary to operate the website

Third-party services are governed by their respective terms and privacy policies. Ascending Fortune does not control all data processing performed independently by third-party providers.

International Data Transfers

Some of the services used by Ascending Fortune may operate in different countries. As a result, information associated with the use of these services may be handled outside the country where you live.

When applicable privacy laws require additional protections for information handled internationally, the relevant service providers use measures designed to meet those requirements. These measures may include recognized legal arrangements and other protections permitted under applicable privacy laws.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, maintain security, and enforce agreements.

Messages submitted through our contact form may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to the inquiry and maintain appropriate records of communications.

Information processed by third-party providers may be subject to their own retention periods and settings.

Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, loss, or misuse.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted to or stored through the website.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, applicable privacy laws may give you certain rights regarding your personal information.

These may include the right to:

  • Request access to personal data we hold about you

  • Request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances
  • Request restriction of processing

Where applicable, requests may be submitted through our contact page or through privacy controls made available on the website.

We do not discriminate against users for exercising privacy rights provided by applicable law.
