Information stored in your browser
The age confirmation is stored in local browser storage so the age gate does not reappear on every page. The value says only that the browser confirmed age eligibility. It is not transmitted to Big Bud Man by the site code.
Contact and newsletter forms
Forms may collect the information you submit, such as email address, subject, and message. Forms are routed through FormSubmit or another disclosed service. Do not send medical records, government identification, payment details, or confidential legal information.
Server and hosting data
GitHub Pages, DNS providers, security services, and internet infrastructure may process routine technical data such as IP address, browser, requested URL, and timestamps for delivery, security, and reliability.
Analytics
No analytics token is hard-coded at launch. If privacy-conscious analytics are added, this policy will identify the provider and purpose. We do not need a cross-site advertising profile to know whether a guide is useful.
External links
Official agencies, retailers, affiliate partners, and other sites operate under their own privacy policies. Opening an external link sends the destination the normal technical information associated with a web request.
Retention and requests
Messages may be retained as needed to respond, maintain records, prevent abuse, and meet legal obligations. To request access, correction, or deletion of information sent directly to Big Bud Man, use the contact form and identify the relevant message.
Children
The site is for adults 21 and older and is not directed to children. Do not submit information about a minor.
