Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 10, 2026

WorldPowerStats ("we", "our", or "us") operates the website worldpowerstats.com (the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit the Service, how we use that information, the third parties we work with, and the rights you have over your personal data. We have written this document in plain English so that any visitor can understand exactly what happens behind the scenes when they browse our military comparison platform.

By accessing or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of this policy, please discontinue use of the Service. We encourage you to review this page periodically, as we may update it to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or our own practices.

1. Information We Collect

WorldPowerStats is a static, content-driven website. We do not require account registration, we do not sell products, and we do not maintain user profiles. The information we collect is therefore intentionally minimal and is gathered primarily for traffic analysis and the responsible delivery of advertising.

1.1 Information You Provide Voluntarily

If you choose to contact us through our contact form or by email, you may share your name, email address, and the contents of your message. We use this information solely to respond to your inquiry. We do not add submitted email addresses to any marketing list, and we do not share them with third parties.

1.2 Information Collected Automatically

When you visit any page on the Service, certain information is collected automatically by our hosting infrastructure and analytics providers. This may include your IP address (typically truncated for privacy), browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, the pages you view on our Service, the date and time of your visit, approximate geographic location at the country or city level, and basic device characteristics such as screen size.

2. Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser when you visit a website. WorldPowerStats uses cookies and similar technologies for analytics and advertising purposes. We do not use cookies to track you across unrelated websites for our own marketing.

The cookies set on the Service generally fall into the following categories:

You can control or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or be alerted before a cookie is stored. Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of certain features on the Service and on many other websites you visit.

3. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to understand how visitors interact with the Service. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar identifiers to collect information about your visit, such as the pages you view, the time spent on each page, and the path you take through the site. This information is aggregated and used to improve the content, structure, and performance of WorldPowerStats.

Google Analytics may collect your IP address, but we have configured the service to anonymize IP addresses where this option is available. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking entirely by installing the official Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. For more information about how Google handles analytics data, please see Google's Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

4. Google AdSense and Advertising Partners

WorldPowerStats is supported by display advertising delivered through Google AdSense, an advertising network operated by Google LLC. Google AdSense uses cookies, including the DoubleClick DART cookie, to serve advertisements based on a user's prior visits to our website and other sites on the Internet. The DART cookie enables Google and its partners to show ads that are more likely to be relevant to your interests.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings at https://www.google.com/settings/ads. You may also opt out of third-party vendor use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting https://www.aboutads.info (operated by the Digital Advertising Alliance) or https://www.youronlinechoices.eu (operated by the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance).

4.1 Third-Party Advertisers Disclosure

Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to the Service or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our visitors based on their visit to our sites and other sites on the Internet. We do not control the cookies set by third-party advertisers and we do not have access to the data they collect. Each third-party advertising network operates under its own privacy policy.

Some of the third-party advertising partners that may serve ads through the Google ad network on our Service maintain their own privacy policies. You can typically find a complete and updated list of Google's advertising technology partners at https://support.google.com/admanager/answer/9012903.

5. How We Use the Information

We use the information collected to operate and improve the Service, monitor aggregate usage trends, prevent fraud and abuse, respond to inquiries, and serve relevant advertisements. We do not sell personal data to third parties, and we do not use any of the information collected for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects on visitors.

6. Data Retention

Analytics data collected through Google Analytics is retained for the period configured in our Google Analytics account, which currently defaults to fourteen months for user-level and event-level data. Aggregate, non-identifiable statistics may be retained indefinitely for historical comparison. Inquiries received via the contact form are retained only as long as needed to resolve the corresponding request, after which they are deleted.

7. Your Rights Under GDPR

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) provides you with several rights regarding your personal data. These include the right to access the personal data we hold about you, the right to request correction of inaccurate data, the right to request deletion ("right to be forgotten"), the right to restrict or object to processing, and the right to data portability. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at the address provided below.

8. Your Rights Under CCPA

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) give you additional rights, including the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to delete that information, the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, and the right to non-discrimination for exercising your rights. WorldPowerStats does not sell personal information in the traditional sense, but we acknowledge that the use of advertising cookies may be considered "sharing" under the CPRA. You may opt out of personalized advertising through the methods described in section 4.

9. Children's Privacy (COPPA)

The Service is not directed to children under the age of thirteen, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under thirteen. In compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), if we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under thirteen without verified parental consent, we will delete that information promptly. If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

10. Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the limited information collected through the Service. The site is served over HTTPS, and our hosting infrastructure follows industry-standard security practices. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is one hundred percent secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. International Users

WorldPowerStats is accessible worldwide. If you are accessing the Service from outside the country in which our servers are located, please be aware that information collected through the Service may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in countries with different data protection laws. By using the Service, you consent to such transfers.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information.

13. Contact for Privacy Questions

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, wish to exercise your rights, or want to report a privacy concern, please contact us at contact@worldpowerstats.com or through our contact page. We will respond to legitimate requests within a reasonable timeframe and in accordance with applicable law.
