Legal · Your Data
Last updated:
The short version: we collect your email and basic info when you use the F3 region site builder. We use it to occasionally let you know about improvements to the tool. We don't sell your data, share it for advertising, or do anything sketchy with it.
GloomSites.com is a free service that helps F3 region leaders generate their own websites. The service is operated as a personal project by an F3 PAX. GloomSites.com is not a corporation, registered charity, or professional organization. We are not affiliated with F3 Nation HQ.
This Privacy Policy applies to the website located at gloomsites.com and any associated subdomains. It does not apply to F3 region websites generated using our builder — those sites have their own separate privacy policies, and we are not responsible for them.
We only collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us through the website builder form. This includes:
We do not collect payment information, government identification, or sensitive personal data. We do not require account registration to use the builder.
We use the information we collect solely to:
We do not use your information for advertising, profiling, automated decision-making, or any commercial purpose unrelated to GloomSites.com. We will never sell, rent, trade, or share your personal information with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
Form submissions are processed and stored using Netlify Forms, the form-handling service built into our hosting provider. Submissions are accessible only to the operator of GloomSites.com. Netlify's privacy policy is available at netlify.com/privacy.
If you've subscribed to email updates, your email address may also be stored on our email newsletter service (e.g. beehiiv or similar). You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email.
Our website may use basic analytics tools to understand how visitors use the site (such as which pages are visited and how long visitors stay). This data is aggregated and anonymous — it is not linked to any individual.
We do not use advertising cookies or tracking pixels. We do not build user profiles or engage in behavioral advertising.
Our website contains links to third-party websites including F3 Nation, Amazon, Netlify, YouTube, and others. Some of these may be affiliate links (see our Affiliate Disclosure). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information to them.
We retain your form submission data and email address for as long as GloomSites.com operates. If you would like your data removed, contact us using the information below and we'll process the request promptly.
You have the right to:
To exercise any of these rights, contact us through the website. We will respond to all requests within a reasonable timeframe.
When you use the GloomSites.com builder to generate an F3 region website, the resulting files are yours. You host them. You operate them. You are responsible for any data you collect through them, including email signups, contact form submissions, or analytics. The generated sites include their own template privacy policy and disclaimer pages, but you are responsible for ensuring those pages accurately reflect your actual practices and comply with the laws of your jurisdiction.
GloomSites.com makes no representation about the legal sufficiency of the template legal pages included in generated sites. You should review them and seek legal counsel if your region has specific compliance requirements.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the website or builder after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, want to access or delete your information, or wish to unsubscribe from our communications, you can reach us through the GloomSites.com homepage. If you are subscribed to email updates, use the unsubscribe link in any email.
