Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 28, 2025

At WallpaperCycling, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our website.

What Information We Collect

1. Automatically Collected Information

When you visit WallpaperCycling, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including:

  • Browser type and version
  • Device information (desktop, mobile, tablet)
  • IP address (anonymized)
  • Pages visited and time spent on pages
  • Referring website (where you came from)

2. Analytics (Cookie-Free)

We use Fathom Analytics, a privacy-focused analytics service that does NOT use cookies, does NOT track personal data, and is fully GDPR, CCPA, and PECR compliant.

What Fathom collects: Anonymous page views, referrer URLs, browser type, device type, and country (based on IP address, which is immediately discarded).

What Fathom does NOT collect: No cookies, no personal data, no cross-site tracking, no data fingerprinting. Your IP address is never stored.

3. Unsplash API

All wallpaper images are loaded directly from Unsplash's servers. When you view images, Unsplash may collect information according to their privacy policy. We do not download, store, or re-host any images—they are hotlinked directly from Unsplash.

What We DON'T Collect

  • We do NOT require account registration
  • We do NOT collect personal information (name, email, phone)
  • We do NOT use tracking pixels or invasive tracking
  • We do NOT sell or share your data with third parties
  • We do NOT store payment information (the site is free)

How We Use Your Information

We use the automatically collected information solely to:

  • Improve our website - Understanding which pages are popular helps us create better content
  • Fix technical issues - Browser and device info helps us troubleshoot problems
  • Understand traffic sources - Knowing where visitors come from helps us optimize our marketing
  • Prevent abuse - Monitor for unusual activity or automated scraping

No Cookies Required! 🎉

WallpaperCycling does NOT use cookies for analytics. We use Fathom Analytics, which is completely cookie-free.

The only cookies you might encounter are:

  • Essential Cookies - Required for the site to function (if any)
  • No Tracking Cookies - We don't use any tracking or marketing cookies
  • No Third-Party Cookies - We don't allow third-party cookies

This means you don't need to accept any cookie consent banner! We respect your privacy by default.
