We respect your time and your data. We don’t employ shady tracking tactics, and we definitely don’t sell your personal information to third-party data brokers. Here is exactly what happens when you visit howidone.
1. The Data We Actually Collect
We run a simple, text-heavy review site. We do not need your life history. We only collect data that helps the site function and tells us which articles are actually helping people.
Log Data: Standard server logs that record your IP address, browser type, and the timestamps of your visit. This is basic infrastructure to ensure the site isn’t being hit by malicious bots.
Analytics: We use basic analytics (like Google Analytics) to track page views and bounce rates. This tells us if our product lists are actually ranking and holding your attention, or if we need to rewrite them.
2. Cookies and Tracking
We use cookies strictly for functional and analytical purposes.
Affiliate Cookies: When you click an Amazon link on our site, Amazon places a 24-hour cookie on your browser. This is solely to track the click back to our Amazon Associates ID so we get credited for the sale. We do not control this cookie; Amazon does.
Site Cookies: Small text files to keep the site loading quickly and efficiently. You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time, and the core text of our site will still function perfectly.
3. Third-Party Links
Our entire business model relies on pointing you toward products on Amazon. Once you click an outbound link and leave our site, our privacy policy no longer applies. You are then subject to Amazon’s data collection policies. We recommend reading their privacy agreements if you have concerns about how they handle your purchase data.
4. Your Rights
If you have subscribed to an email newsletter (if we ever launch one), you can unsubscribe at any time with one click. We do not hold onto data we do not need.
5. Updates to this Policy
If the laws change or our data collection methods change, we will update this page. We won’t send you a 40-page legal document you won’t read anyway.
Contact Us: If you have questions about our data practices, find an error in our spec sheets, or want to challenge one of our product rankings, reach out to us at: testedpick10@gmail.com
