What this site does

We publish dated, sourced prices and comparisons for work tools. We do not require an account to read the site. The optional newsletter signup (when enabled) is handled by our email provider and is double opt-in.

Data we may collect

• Server and CDN logs. Cloudflare (our host) may log IP address, user agent, referrer, and request path to operate the site, fight abuse, and measure reliability.
• Privacy-friendly analytics. We may use Cloudflare Web Analytics and/or Umami. These are configured to avoid selling personal data; Umami is set with do-not-track and does not send PII from our script.
• Theme preference. Your light/dark choice is stored in your browser's localStorage only.
• Email you send us. If you email [email protected] (corrections, questions), we keep that correspondence to reply and fix errors.
• Newsletter. If you subscribe, the provider stores the email address you submit and confirmation status.

Cookies and similar tech

Essential operation may use cookies or similar storage from Cloudflare. We do not currently run a cookie consent banner because we are not serving third-party advertising cookies on live pages.

Affiliate links (when active): clicking a labelled affiliate link may set a cookie or similar identifier from that vendor's affiliate network (for example Impact, PartnerStack, or Hostinger's affiliate platform) so a later purchase can be attributed. See Affiliate disclosure.

Display ads: if we join Google AdSense or another ad network, that network and its partners may set cookies or use advertising identifiers to serve and measure ads, including interest-based ads where allowed by law. Google AdSense and partners may use cookies such as the DoubleClick cookie to serve and measure ads based on your prior visits to this site or other sites. You can opt out of personalized Google ads at Google Ads Settings. The Google AdSense script is installed site-wide (publisher ID ca-pub-1283237234478752). Auto ads and any required consent controls for your region are managed in the AdSense account; we will update this section if placement or consent practice changes.

What we do not do

• We do not sell your personal information.
• We do not invent prices or claim tests we did not run.
• Affiliate commissions never change rankings, scores, or verdicts.

Sharing

We use processors that help run the site (Cloudflare hosting and analytics; email provider for the newsletter and inbound mail). They process data only to provide those services. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the site against abuse.

Retention

CDN and analytics aggregates are kept according to each provider's defaults. Emails we receive are kept as long as needed to resolve the request. Newsletter data remains until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it.

Your choices

• Use browser controls to clear localStorage and cookies.
• Unsubscribe links are included in newsletter mail.
• Email [email protected] to ask about access, correction, or deletion of personal data we hold about you.

Children

This site is written for working professionals. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.

Changes

We will update this page when our practices change (for example when ads or new affiliates go live) and bump the date at the top.
