Privacy Policy

Overview

Welcome to notfun. This site provides AO3 access notes, announcements, guides, and AO3/OTW culture-related content. This page explains how visitor information is handled and how third-party services may use cookies, IP addresses, device information, or other identifiers.

This site does not provide user registration, private messages, or comments, and it will not ask for your AO3 password, real name, phone number, or address. To operate the site, understand traffic, show ads, and receive voluntary support, we use certain third-party services.

This policy was last updated on 2026-08-15.

1. Traffic statistics and analytics (Google Analytics)

We use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand how visitors interact with the site, such as pages visited, visit duration, device type, and approximate region.

  • Data that may be collected: anonymized or processed IP address, device information, browser information, approximate city-level location, page views, and interaction data.
  • Purpose: to analyze traffic trends and improve site structure, page layout, content, and user experience.
  • Privacy control: you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, or use privacy controls provided by your browser, operating system, and advertising platforms.

2. Advertising partners (Google AdSense / Ezoic)

This site may use Google AdSense, Ezoic, or other advertising partners to display ads on original content pages. Ads are generally intended for notfun’s original articles, FAQ pages, guides, announcements, or tools. We do not ask users to click ads to support the site.

Advertising partners may use cookies, web beacons, pixel tags, IP addresses, device identifiers, or similar technologies to:

  • show ads, including personalized ads or contextual ads;
  • limit repeated ad displays;
  • measure ad impressions, clicks, and performance;
  • detect invalid traffic, fraud, abuse, or security risks;
  • comply with advertising platform, legal, and industry requirements.

Third-party advertising partners may place or read cookies in your browser, or use web beacons, IP addresses, or other identifiers to collect information related to ad serving on this site. You can read Google’s explanation here: How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

You can manage Google personalized ad preferences through Google My Ad Center. You can also visit AboutAds Consumer Choices or Your Online Choices for additional advertising opt-out options. If you opt out of personalized ads, you may still see ads, but they may be less relevant.

3. Ezoic privacy disclosure

If Ezoic is enabled on this site, Ezoic may automatically insert additional privacy disclosures, advertising partner lists, or data processing notices on this page as required by its advertising and optimization services. The specific wording is controlled by Ezoic’s dashboard and current policies.

If no additional content appears above, Ezoic may still be under review, not fully enabled, or its automatic disclosure may not yet be active on this page.

Cookies are small text files stored in your browser. This site and third-party services may use cookies or similar technologies for basic functionality, analytics, security, advertising, and ad measurement.

For visitors from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, or other applicable regions, this site may display cookie or advertising consent messages provided by Google or Ezoic. Where required by applicable law, advertising partners will use your choices to determine whether personal data may be used for personalized ads.

You can clear, disable, or limit cookies in your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect page loading, polls, advertising preferences, or other third-party features.

5. Basic logs and security (Cloudflare)

This site uses Cloudflare for hosting, security, CDN, and performance optimization. Cloudflare may record standard access logs such as IP address, access time, requested URL, browser type, device information, and security event information.

This information is mainly used to:

  • protect against DDoS attacks, malicious requests, crawler abuse, and other network attacks;
  • troubleshoot access issues;
  • improve page loading speed and stability;
  • generate basic security and performance statistics.

6. Interactive features and third-party embeds

To collect user feedback, this site may embed polling widgets from StrawPoll (strawpoll.com).

  • Data that may be collected: when you vote, StrawPoll may collect your IP address, browser information, and may place cookies on your device.
  • Purpose: to prevent duplicate voting, count votes, and provide interactive features.
  • Privacy notice: polling data is processed under the StrawPoll Privacy Policy.

This site may also place a small voluntary support button from BobaMe / AnyoneLab on the “Support notfun” page.

  • Data that may be collected: when you click the support button and visit BobaMe, BobaMe may process browser information, payment email, messages, payment status, and other information needed to complete support payments.
  • Purpose: to receive voluntary support and handle payments, refunds, notifications, or related disputes.
  • Privacy notice: such processing is governed by BobaMe / AnyoneLab’s privacy policy and terms. This site does not collect your bank card or credit card information on this page.

7. Children’s privacy

This site is intended for general internet visitors and users looking for AO3-related information. It is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe that this site or a third-party service has improperly processed a child’s personal information, please contact us using the email below.

8. Your rights and choices

Depending on the privacy laws that apply in your region, such as GDPR, UK GDPR, or CCPA/CPRA, you may have the right to:

  • understand how information is collected, used, and shared;
  • request access, correction, or deletion of personal information about you;
  • object to or restrict certain processing;
  • withdraw consent for cookies or personalized ads;
  • manage advertising preferences through your browser, operating system, Google, Ezoic, or other advertising platform tools.

Because this site does not provide user accounts, most identifiable data is processed by third-party services. For data requests involving Google, Ezoic, Cloudflare, StrawPoll, BobaMe, or other third-party services, you may need to contact the relevant service provider directly.
