Who We Are
Our website address is: https://sharemerchant.com
ShareMerchant.com is an informational website designed to explain how the Freak Sites ecosystem works. We do not track user behavior, profile visitors, run analytics, or collect marketing data.
This site is a funnel landing page only — not a platform that stores user accounts, listing data, or financial information.
Information We Do NOT Collect
We do not:
- track your browsing behavior
- run analytics tools (Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, etc.)
- collect marketing data
- sell or share personal data
- store payment information
- create user profiles
- track your activity across the internet
- use behavioral advertising
- use retargeting pixels
- store your data for marketing purposes
We simply provide information about how to earn money on the Freak Sites.
Comments
If you leave a comment on the site, WordPress automatically collects:
- the data shown in the comment form
- your IP address
- your browser user agent string
This is only for spam detection and security.
An anonymized hash of your email may be sent to the Gravatar service to display your avatar. Gravatar’s privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/
After your comment is approved, your profile picture (if any) becomes visible publicly next to your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website (for example, in a comment), avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site may be able to download and extract location data from images.
Cookies
ShareMerchant.com does not set tracking cookies or marketing cookies.
However, WordPress may set basic functional cookies:
If you leave a comment:
You may opt‑in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience so you don’t have to re‑enter your details next time. These cookies last for one year.
If you visit the login page:
A temporary cookie may be set to check if your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
If you log in (admins only):
WordPress sets cookies to save login information and display preferences.
These are standard WordPress functions and are not used for tracking.
Embedded Content From Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content such as:
- videos
- images
- articles
- social media posts
Embedded content behaves exactly as if you visited the other website directly.
Those websites may:
- collect data
- use cookies
- run third‑party tracking
- monitor your interaction with their content
We do not control or manage third‑party tracking on external sites.
Who We Share Your Data With
We do not share or sell your data.
The only exception is:
- If you request a password reset (admin accounts only), your IP address may be included in the reset email.
This is a built‑in WordPress function.
How Long We Retain Your Data
Comments:
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This allows WordPress to recognize and approve follow‑up comments automatically.
Registered Users (Admins Only):
If any user accounts exist, WordPress stores the personal information provided in the user profile. Users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except usernames). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
ShareMerchant.com does not create user accounts for visitors.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have:
- left comments, or
- created an account (admins only)
…you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you.
You may also request that we erase any personal data we hold.
This does not include data we are required to keep for:
- security
- legal
- administrative purposes
Where We Send Your Data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
We do not send your data anywhere else.
No Tracking. No Analytics. No Hidden Data Collection.
ShareMerchant.com and GameThatPays.com are information‑only websites.
We do not:
- track you
- follow you
- analyze you
- profile you
- sell your data
- store your behavior
- run ads
- run pixels
- run analytics
We simply explain how to earn money on the Freak Sites.
