Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Stellainte ("we", "us") handles information when you use our website at stellainte.net (the "Service"). We aim to collect as little as possible and to be clear about what happens with it.

Information we collect

Stellainte does not require you to create an account, and we do not ask for your name, address or phone number to use the start page. Like most websites, our servers and service providers may automatically record standard technical data such as IP address, browser type, device type, referring page and timestamps for security, reliability and aggregate analytics.

Search queries

When you run a search, your query is sent to a search results page so we can show you relevant results. We do not build advertising profiles tied to your identity from your individual searches.

Content recommendations

The trending stories shown on our home page are supplied by third-party content recommendation partners. To deliver and measure these recommendations, those partners may receive technical signals such as your IP address, user agent, approximate region and a device identifier, and may use cookies or similar technologies. Stories labeled Sponsored are paid placements. Selecting a story takes you to the publisher's own website, which is governed by that publisher's policies.

Cookies and similar technologies

We and our partners may use cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences, keep the Service secure, measure usage, and - where applicable - support advertising on search results pages and content recommendations. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings.

Advertising

Some results pages and content units may display ads provided by third-party advertising partners, including Google. These partners may use cookies and device identifiers to deliver and measure ads. Their use of information is governed by their own privacy policies. You can learn more about how Google uses information at google.com/policies.

How we use information

• To operate, maintain and improve the Service;
• To keep the Service secure and prevent abuse;
• To understand aggregate usage trends;
• To comply with legal obligations.

Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share technical data with service providers and content/advertising partners who help us run the Service, and with authorities where required by law.

Your choices

You can browse without an account, clear cookies in your browser, and opt out of personalized ads through your browser or the settings offered by advertising partners.

Children

The Service is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by the "Last updated" date above.
