Analytics
We may use privacy‑focused analytics platforms or major analytics providers to understand aggregate usage. These tools collect pseudonymous data about how visitors use our site (e.g., pages visited, duration). We do not combine analytics data with directly identifiable information unless you explicitly provide it.
Advertising & Affiliate Disclosure
We do not sell products directly. We may earn a commission if you buy through links on our site. This does not affect the price you pay. Our editorial decisions are independent of affiliate relationships. When a link is affiliate‑enabled, we treat it as advertising and disclose our relationship in context and here in this policy.

We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described here, or as required by law. Aggregate, de‑identified analytics may be retained for trend analysis.
Data Security
We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure; we work to minimize risk and respond promptly to issues.
Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data; to object to certain processing; and to data portability. You may also withdraw consent at any time for processing based on consent. To exercise rights, contact [email protected].
