Legal Bases for Processing (EEA/UK Visitors)
We process personal data based on: (a) consent (e.g., analytics cookies), (b) legitimate interests (e.g., site security, basic analytics), and (c) performance of a contract (responding to your requests).
Cookies
- Essential cookies: required for core site functionality and security.
- Analytics cookies: help us understand traffic patterns and content performance. Where required, we obtain consent.
- Affiliate cookies: track referrals to merchants so we can earn a commission if you make a purchase. These do not increase your price. You can manage cookies via your browser settings and, where available, our cookie banner preferences.
Analytics
We may use privacy‑focused analytics that aggregates or pseudonymizes data. IP addresses may be truncated or hashed. We do not build profiles for advertising.
Advertising and Affiliate Disclosure
We may include affiliate links to retailers. If you click a link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission. This does not affect the price you pay and does not influence our editorial ratings or recommendations. We do not accept payment for positive coverage or for changing scores.
Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with:
- Service providers (e.g., hosting, analytics) under contractual confidentiality and security obligations.
- Merchants and affiliate networks for the sole purpose of attributing purchases you make after following our links.
- Authorities, when required by law.
Data Retention
- Correspondence: retained as long as needed to support your inquiry and maintain records of our communications.
- Analytics data: retained per provider defaults and then aggregated or deleted.
- Cookies: persist per their own expiration or until you clear them.
Data Security
We use HTTPS, access controls, and industry‑standard safeguards to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure; we work to minimize risk and remediate issues promptly.
