Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 1, 2026. Short version: we collect almost nothing.

Information we collect

This is a static informational website. We do not run user accounts or comments, and we do not ask for personal information to read our guides. We do run an optional email newsletter (see below).

Contact emails. If you email us, we receive your email address and message so we can reply. We don't add you to any list.
Server logs. Our hosting provider may log standard technical data (IP address, browser type, pages visited) for security and diagnostics. We don't use it to identify you.

Our newsletter is entirely optional. If you subscribe, we collect your email address so we can send you new guides, deal alerts, and your free sample chapter.

Double opt-in. After signing up you'll receive a confirmation email — your address is only added once you click confirm. No confirmation, no subscription.
Email provider. Subscriptions are processed and stored by our email service provider (currently Kit/ConvertKit, a US-based service). Your address is transmitted securely to them so they can deliver the emails; they do not sell it.
Unsubscribe anytime. Every email includes an unsubscribe link. Unsubscribing removes you from the list promptly.
No other use. We never sell your email address, and we don't use it for anything besides the newsletter you signed up for.

Cookies and affiliate links

Buy buttons on this site are affiliate links. When you click one, you go to a retailer's site (such as Amazon), which may set its own cookies — including a cookie that lets the retailer know we referred you, so we can earn a commission. Those cookies are governed by the retailer's privacy policy, not ours. We don't set advertising cookies ourselves.

Analytics

We may use privacy-respecting, cookie-free analytics to understand which guides are popular. No cross-site tracking, no ad profiling.

Data sharing

We don't sell personal information. We share data only if legally required (e.g., a valid court order).

Children

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their information.

Changes

If this policy changes materially, we'll update the "last updated" date above. Questions: see our contact page.
