Privacy

Short version: this site has no accounts and no comment box. The only personal data we ask for is an email address, and only if you choose to sign up for updates. Here is the detail.

Analytics

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count page views and see which guides are read. It is cookieless and does not build a cross-site profile of you: no personal identifiers, no advertising cookies, no selling of data. We look at aggregate numbers per page, not at individual visitors.

Server logs

Our hosting provider (Cloudflare Pages) processes standard request data — IP address, user agent, requested URL, timestamp — to serve the site and protect it from abuse. We do not combine this with anything else to identify you.

Affiliate links and cookies

When you click a link to a vendor, that vendor's site may set its own cookies to attribute the referral so we get credit if you sign up. Those cookies are set by the vendor, not by us, and are covered by the vendor's privacy policy. If you prefer to avoid them, search for the tool by name instead of clicking.

Email updates ("Get the email")

If you sign up on this site, we ask for your email address only. It is stored with our email service provider (systeme.io) and used to send the updates described at the sign-up box: the cost breakdown from our calculator, the price ladders we track, and a note when a vendor changes something. Every email has a one-click unsubscribe link, we never sell the list, and we do not share it with anyone else. Signing up does not create an account on this site.

If you email us

If you email us, we keep the message and your address only as long as needed to answer and, if relevant, to fix the page you wrote about. We do not add you to the email updates list unless you ask.

Your rights

If you are in the EU/UK (GDPR) or California (CCPA/CPRA), you can ask what personal data we hold about you and ask us to delete it. In practice that is: the email address you signed up with, or the message you sent us. If you signed up, you can leave the list with one click at the bottom of any email. Requests go to [email protected].
