This Privacy Policy explains how Composting Toilet Guide (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit compostingtoiletguide.com/ (the “Site”). By using the Site, you agree to the practices described below.
Information We Collect
Information You Provide Directly
If you contact us through our Contact page, subscribe to any newsletter, or leave a comment, we collect the information you provide — typically your name, email address, and message content.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, we automatically collect certain information when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, and referring website, typically through analytics tools such as Google Analytics. This data is generally aggregated and used to understand how visitors use the Site rather than to identify you individually.
Cookies
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the Site, remember preferences, and analyze traffic. This includes cookies set by third-party services we use, such as analytics providers and, if applicable, advertising networks. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings, though some parts of the Site may not function properly without them.
Affiliate Links and Third-Party Sites
This Site contains affiliate links to third-party retailers and manufacturers. When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, the retailer may set its own cookies and collect information according to its own privacy policy — we don’t control and aren’t responsible for the data practices of third-party sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any site you visit through a link on our Site.
How We Use Information
- To operate, maintain, and improve the Site
- To respond to inquiries submitted through our Contact page
- To send newsletter or update emails, if you’ve opted in
- To analyze site traffic and understand which content is most useful to visitors
- To detect, prevent, and address technical issues, spam, or abuse
We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
Data Retention
We retain contact form submissions and related correspondence for as long as reasonably necessary to address your inquiry and for our internal record-keeping. Analytics data is generally retained according to the retention settings of the analytics tool we use, which you can typically review on that provider’s own policy page.
Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights under applicable privacy law (such as the California Consumer Privacy Act or, for EU/UK visitors, the GDPR) to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, or to opt out of certain data uses. To make such a request, contact us using the details on our Contact page.
Children’s Privacy
This Site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
