Privacy Policy

Site Information

This website, "Penguin Encyclopedia | PenDaily" (penguin.penchan.co), is operated by Penchan as a subsite of penchan.co.

What We Collect

This site uses Google Analytics 4 and Cloudflare Web Analytics, when configured, to understand overall traffic and content usage. These tools help us see which pages are read, where visitors generally come from, what types of devices are used, and whether the site is working well.

We do not ask for or intentionally collect your name, email address, account, phone number, or other information that directly identifies you. Analytics data is used mainly in summary form, and we reduce identifiability where possible, such as by anonymizing IP addresses or using cookie-free traffic statistics.

After you allow analytics, we may also record broad on-site navigation actions, such as external link clicks, visits to species pages, or language changes. This helps improve content and navigation, and is not used to identify who you are.

• For Google Analytics 4 data handling, retention, and cookie practices, see the Google Privacy Policy.
• For Cloudflare Web Analytics data handling, see the Cloudflare Privacy Policy.

Cookies and Consent

This site uses Google Consent Mode v2 to manage analytics consent. On your first visit, you can choose whether to allow analytics. If you decline, this site does not load Google Analytics 4 analytics cookies. If you allow analytics, Google Analytics 4 may use cookies to tell sessions apart and produce visit statistics.

• If your browser sends a Do Not Track (DNT) signal, this site respects that choice and does not load Google Analytics 4.
• Basic storage needed for site function and security stays enabled. Analytics, advertising, and personalization uses are off by default unless you consent.
• You can reopen the consent panel at any time from the privacy and tracking settings link in the footer.

If you do not want cookies or analytics tools to load, you can also enable Do Not Track in your browser or use an ad blocker such as uBlock Origin.

On-site Search

On-site search is powered by Pagefind, which runs entirely in your browser and does not send any search queries to external servers.

Your Rights

Under applicable privacy laws, including Taiwan's Personal Data Protection Act, the GDPR, and South Korea's Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA), you may:

• delete this site's cookies through your browser settings;
• opt out of GA4 collection with the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on;
• contact the site to request access, correction, or deletion of data related to you;
• withdraw consent or ask us to restrict processing where the law allows.

If we need to confirm that a request is really about you, we may ask for limited information to avoid sending data to the wrong person.
