PRIVACY POLICY — SHAREMERCHANT.COM
Last updated: October 28, 2026
1. ABOUT THIS WEBSITE
ShareMerchant.com is an informational website that explains online advertising products and affiliate opportunities offered through separate participating websites.
It is not a Freak Sites Island or the CoolCarGuy.com advertising platform. It does not itself provide the customer checkout, affiliate enrollment or affiliate commission accounts used on those websites.
This Privacy Policy describes how information may be processed when you visit or interact with ShareMerchant.com.
2. INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE
If you contact the website operator, submit a form, leave a comment or otherwise communicate through an available website feature, information may include your name, email address, message, and other details you choose to provide.
Information is used as reasonably necessary to respond to communications, provide the requested functionality, manage website security and maintain records as required by law.
Do not submit sensitive personal or financial information through ordinary contact or comment features.
3. TECHNICAL WEBSITE DATA
The website, its hosting provider, WordPress software and security services may process technical information such as IP address, browser or device details, request timestamps, requested pages and error or security logs.
Such processing may be necessary for website delivery, troubleshooting, preventing abuse and maintaining security.
4. COOKIES AND WORDPRESS FEATURES
WordPress and installed plugins may use cookies or similar technologies for functionality, login management, security, comment preferences or other purposes.
If visitor accounts, comments, analytics, embedded media or other services are enabled, they may involve additional data processing.
Cookie behavior depends on the website’s actual configuration and the services enabled at the time of your visit.
5. ANALYTICS AND MARKETING TECHNOLOGY
The use of analytics tools, advertising pixels or other tracking technologies must be assessed against the website’s actual installed services and configuration.
Where such services are used, this policy should identify their purposes and provide any notices, choices or consent mechanisms required by applicable law.
ShareMerchant.com does not itself maintain the affiliate tracking accounts used by the separate selling Islands. Following a link to an Island may subject you to that Island’s own tracking and privacy policies.
6. EMBEDDED CONTENT AND EXTERNAL LINKS
Pages may include links or embedded content from websites such as YouTube, Rumble, social platforms, CoolCarGuy.com and Freak Sites.
Embedded content may collect data, use cookies or interact with your browser according to the third party’s own privacy practices.
We do not control how external websites process information once you leave ShareMerchant.com.
7. COMMENTS AND SPAM PROTECTION
If commenting is enabled, WordPress may process comment text, name, email, website information, IP address and browser information to publish, moderate and protect comments against spam.
Approved public comments may remain visible on the website unless removed under the applicable moderation and retention practices.
Spam-detection services, if enabled, may process information associated with submitted comments.
8. SERVICE PROVIDERS AND DISCLOSURES
Website information may be processed by providers involved in hosting, technical maintenance, security, backups, communication, embedded content or other enabled functions.
Information may also be disclosed when required by law or reasonably necessary to investigate security incidents, protect rights or respond to lawful requests.
Any additional sharing or commercial uses must be accurately described according to the website’s actual practices.
9. DATA RETENTION
Information may be retained for periods reasonably necessary for the purposes described here, including site security, communications, administrative records, legal obligations and dispute resolution.
Retention periods depend on the type of information and the services involved.
10. YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion or other controls relating to personal information.
Requests may be subject to identity verification, legal exceptions and applicable retention requirements.
11. CHILDREN
ShareMerchant.com is intended to provide general business and advertising information. It is not designed to solicit personal information from children.
12. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY
This policy may be updated to reflect changes to website functions, service providers, legal obligations or data practices. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised date.
13. CONTACT AND OTHER WEBSITES
Privacy inquiries should be directed to the website operator through its published contact method.
For privacy matters involving actual advertising purchases, user accounts or affiliate tracking, review the Privacy Policy of the specific CoolCarGuy.com or Freak Sites website where the activity occurred.
