Privacy Policy
Data we collect
We gather basic analytics like page views and time spent to improve our content. This includes anonymized IP data, browser type, and referral sources. We never collect personal details like names or emails unless you explicitly provide them via contact forms. Our analytics help us understand what content resonates without invading your privacy.
Cookies & analytics
We use cookies solely to track aggregate site usage—think total visitors, popular pages, and average session length. These cookies don’t identify you personally, and you can block them via browser settings. We use this data to refine our reviews, not to target ads or track individual behavior across sites.
Third-party embeds
Some pages may include embedded content from YouTube or similar platforms. These third-party services have their own privacy policies and may track your interaction with their content. We vet these services to ensure they comply with GDPR and other privacy standards, but we can’t control their data practices once you interact with their content directly.
Data retention
Analytics data is stored for 12 months before automatic deletion. Contact form submissions are kept for 6 months unless required for ongoing correspondence. We periodically audit stored data to ensure we’re not retaining information longer than necessary for operational or legal purposes.
Your rights
You can request access to any personal data we hold about you, or ask us to correct or delete it. For analytics data, we provide aggregated insights only, as the raw data doesn’t identify individuals. If you’ve submitted a contact form, you can request a copy of your message at any time by emailing us from the same address used originally.
Security
We implement standard security measures like HTTPS encryption and regular software updates to protect our site and your data. While no online service is 100% secure, we take reasonable steps to prevent unauthorized access. Our hosting provider maintains robust server security, and we limit administrative access to essential personnel only.
Changes & contact
Privacy policies evolve—we’ll update this page with substantive changes and note the revision date at the top. For questions about our practices, reach out via our contact form. We aim to respond to privacy inquiries within 7 business days. For formal data requests, provide enough detail for us to verify your identity and locate any relevant records.
