Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

We publish practical product shortlists and buying guides. The site may contain affiliate links (including CJ Affiliate). We are not the merchants whose products we discuss.

2. Information we collect

• Information you provide — for example, an email address if you join a newsletter or contact us.
• Automatic technical data — such as browser type, device type, approximate location (derived from IP), pages viewed, and referring URLs. This may be collected via hosting (e.g. Vercel) and analytics tools.
• Cookies and similar technologies — used for analytics, basic site function, and (where enabled) advertising/measurement partners.

3. How we use information

• Operate and improve the website and content
• Send newsletter or updates you requested (you can unsubscribe)
• Understand traffic and which guides are useful (analytics)
• Measure affiliate performance and prevent abuse
• Comply with law and protect our rights

4. Analytics and third parties

We may use tools such as Google Analytics when configured. Those providers process data under their own policies. Outbound affiliate links send you to merchant or network sites (for example CJ Affiliate click trackers); those parties have their own privacy practices.

We may promote content on platforms such as Pinterest. If you interact with us there, that platform’s privacy policy also applies.

5. Affiliate disclosure

Some links are affiliate links. If you buy through them, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. That relationship does not change the price you pay the merchant.

6. Data retention

We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes above, unless a longer period is required by law. Newsletter lists are kept until you unsubscribe or we delete inactive contacts.

7. Your choices

• Unsubscribe from emails using the link in any message
• Control cookies via your browser settings
• Use analytics opt-outs where available (for example Google Analytics browser add-ons)

8. Children

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

9. International visitors

Our site may be hosted in the United States. If you visit from elsewhere, your information may be processed in the U.S. or other countries where our providers operate.

10. Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.

11. Contact

Questions about this policy: use the contact method listed on our Pinterest or site profiles for Shortlist Daily / Home Upgrade Shortlist, or reply via any email channel we operate once a newsletter is connected.
