1. Who We Are
This website is a content-based blog that publishes informational articles, reviews, and recommendations about products. Our goal is to help readers make informed purchasing decisions.
2. Amazon Associates Program Disclosure
This Site is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for websites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon websites (such as Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.fr, and other regional Amazon stores).
This means that when you click on certain links on this Site and make a purchase on Amazon, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. These affiliate links help support the operation and maintenance of the Site.
Amazon uses cookies and other tracking technologies to track referrals from our Site. For more information on how Amazon handles your data, please review Amazon’s own Privacy Policy.
3. Comments
When visitors leave comments on the Site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available on their website. After approval of your comment, your profile picture (if applicable) is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
4. Media
If you upload images to the website (for example, when leaving comments or contributing content), you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the Site.
5. Cookies
The Site uses cookies to improve your browsing experience.
- If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies last for one year.
- If you visit our login page (if applicable), a temporary cookie may be set to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
In addition, third-party services such as Amazon may set cookies through affiliate links to track purchases and referrals.
You can choose to disable cookies through your individual browser options. Please note that disabling cookies may affect how this Site functions.
6. Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this Site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, or links). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor had visited the other website directly.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, especially if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
7. Analytics and Third-Party Services
We may use analytics tools (such as Google Analytics or similar services) to better understand how visitors use the Site. These services may collect information such as your IP address, device type, pages visited, and time spent on the Site. This data is used solely for analytical and performance improvement purposes.
8. Who We Share Your Data With
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal data to others. However, your data may be shared with trusted third parties only when necessary to:
- Detect and prevent spam
- Analyze website traffic and performance
- Comply with legal obligations
Affiliate partners such as Amazon may collect data independently through their own tracking technologies when you click on affiliate links.
9. How Long We Retain Your Data
- Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely so we can recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
- If you register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information you provide in your user profile. You can see, edit, or delete your personal information at any time (except your username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
10. What Rights You Have Over Your Data
You have the right to:
- Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
- Request correction or deletion of your personal data
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
11. Where Your Data Is Sent
