Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how SaunaVerdict ("we," "us") handles information when you visit saunaverdict.com (the "Site"). SaunaVerdict is an independent editorial directory that reviews home saunas and links to third-party retailers. We aim to collect as little personal information as possible.

Information we collect

We do not ask you to create an account, and we do not directly collect names, email addresses, or payment details through the Site. We collect limited information automatically:

• Analytics data. We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Site (pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser type, and referring pages). This is collected via cookies and similar technologies.
• Affiliate tracking. When you click an outbound link to a retailer (such as Amazon or Wayfair), that retailer or its affiliate network may set a cookie to attribute a resulting purchase to us. We may pass a non-identifying click tag (for example, which page the link was on) so we can see which content is useful.
• Server logs. Our hosting provider may log standard request data such as IP address and timestamp for security and reliability.

How we use information

We use this information to operate and improve the Site, measure which content is helpful, and earn affiliate commissions on qualifying purchases. We do not sell your personal information.

Cookies

The Site uses cookies for analytics and affiliate attribution. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings; doing so will not prevent you from reading the Site, though some affiliate attribution may not function.

Third parties

Outbound links lead to third-party retailers and affiliate networks (including the Amazon Associates Program and networks such as CJ Affiliate / FlexOffers). Their handling of your information is governed by their own privacy policies, not this one. See our Affiliate Disclosure for the programs we participate in.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example, under the GDPR or California's CCPA/CPRA), you may have the right to access, correct, or delete personal information, or to opt out of certain processing. Because we do not maintain user accounts or directly collected personal profiles, most requests relate to analytics data held by our providers. Contact us and we will help direct your request.

Children

The Site is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 13.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by the "Last updated" date above.
