Privacy
The short version: this site has no accounts, no forms, and no newsletter, so there's very little we could collect about you even if we wanted to. Here's the full picture.
Analytics
We use Vercel Analytics to count page views. It's cookie-free and anonymized: we can see that a page got read, roughly where in the world the reader was, and what kind of device they used, but not who they were and not what they do on other sites. There's no opt-out to offer because there's no profile being built.
Server logs
Like every website, our host (Vercel) keeps standard server logs — IP address, browser type, pages requested — to keep the site running and fend off abuse. Those logs live in the hosting infrastructure and get used for exactly that; we don't mine them for anything else.
Affiliate links
Some links to vendors are affiliate links, meaning the vendor may credit us for the referral if you sign up. The tracking that makes that work — a tag in the URL, a cookie — happens on the vendor's site, not this one. From the moment you land there, their privacy policy governs, not this page.
If you email us
Then we have your email address and whatever you wrote. We keep correspondence so we can follow up, we don't add you to any list (there isn't one), and we don't share it with anyone. Ask us to delete a thread and we will.
What we don't do
No ad networks, no tracking pixels, no social-media embeds phoning home, no selling or renting anything to anyone. If we ever add something that would change this list, this page changes first — the same promise we make about the reviews themselves.
