This page explains exactly what data ErgogadgetPicks collects, why we collect it, how we use it, and the rights you have over your personal information. Plain English, no fine print, no surprises.
ErgogadgetPicks.com ("we," "us," "our," or "the site") is an independent ergonomic gear review website. We publish honest, research-backed reviews of mice, keyboards, chairs, standing desks, monitor arms, and other home office equipment. We earn a small commission when readers buy through our affiliate links — primarily through the Amazon Associates Program — at no additional cost to the reader.
This Privacy Policy explains the practices we follow when you visit our website and how any information collected during your visit is handled. We respect your privacy and are committed to handling personal data responsibly, transparently, and only for clearly explained purposes.
The short version: We use standard web analytics to understand how the site is used, and we use Amazon affiliate cookies so we get credit when readers buy through our links. We do not sell your data, we do not run intrusive ad networks that follow you around the web, and we do not collect personal data unless you give it to us directly (for example, by emailing us through the contact form).
The information we collect falls into two broad categories: information collected automatically when you visit the site, and information you give us directly.
When you visit ErgogadgetPicks, certain technical information is logged automatically by our hosting provider, our analytics tools, and your browser. This typically includes:
This information is aggregated and used to understand site usage patterns. It is not used to identify you as an individual unless you have separately given us identifying information (for example, by submitting our contact form).
If you fill out our contact form, send us an email, leave a comment on a blog post, or sign up for any newsletter we may operate, you are voluntarily giving us:
We use this information solely to respond to you, fulfill the request you made, or send you content you specifically signed up to receive. We do not sell, rent, or trade this information to anyone.
We use the information described above for the following purposes:
We do not use your information to:
Our site uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — for a few specific purposes. Cookies make the modern web work; we use only what is necessary.
These keep the site functioning (for example, remembering whether you have closed our cookie banner, or maintaining your session if you leave a comment). Essential cookies cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality.
These let us count visits, measure popular pages, and understand traffic patterns in aggregate. We use Google Analytics (or a comparable analytics tool) for this purpose. The data is anonymized where possible — Google Analytics is configured to anonymize IP addresses before they are stored.
When you click an Amazon affiliate link, Amazon sets a cookie on your device that lasts for a defined window (typically 24 hours). If you make a purchase on Amazon during that window, we receive a small commission. The cookie does not give us access to your Amazon account, your personal Amazon information, or any details about what you purchased — Amazon only confirms to us that a qualifying sale occurred.
Most browsers let you view, manage, and delete cookies at the browser level. You can also typically configure your browser to block all cookies or to alert you each time a cookie is offered. Bear in mind that disabling cookies entirely may affect how some sites work, including ours.
We use a small number of third-party tools to operate the site. Each one has its own privacy policy that explains how it handles data, and we have linked them where relevant. The main third parties involved are:
We do not run third-party display advertising networks on the site. You will not see Google Ads, Facebook ads, or behavioral retargeting beacons on ErgogadgetPicks.
The most common way we earn revenue is through the Amazon Associates Program. When you click a product link on our site that leads to Amazon, you are sent to Amazon's website with a tracking ID appended to the URL. From that moment on, you are interacting with Amazon under their privacy policy — not ours.
If you go on to purchase a product on Amazon during the cookie window, we are credited with a small commission. We never see your name, your address, your payment details, or what specifically you purchased. We see only aggregated reports that show how many qualifying sales originated from our site.
Reminder: Once you click through to Amazon, Amazon's Privacy Policy applies — not ours. We have no control over Amazon's data practices. Read our full Affiliate Disclosure for more on how the program works.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. The limited circumstances in which we share data with third parties are:
We take reasonable measures to protect the information we hold. Our site runs over HTTPS (encrypted connection), our hosting provider applies standard server security, and access to administrative systems is restricted and protected by strong authentication.
However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. While we work to protect personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. If a security incident were to occur that affects your personal information, we would notify you in accordance with applicable law.
We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected. Server logs and analytics data are typically retained for up to 26 months and then anonymized or deleted. Contact form messages are retained as long as the conversation is ongoing or relevant — and deleted on request.
Depending on where you live, you have certain legal rights over your personal information. We honor these rights regardless of jurisdiction where reasonably possible. Specifically, you have the right to:
To exercise any of these rights, please email us at hello@ergogadgetpicks.com or use our contact form. We will respond within the timeframe required by your applicable law (typically 30 days).
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you have additional rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and equivalent laws.
We rely on the following legal bases for processing your personal data:
Some of our service providers (such as Google Analytics) may store data outside the European Economic Area, including in the United States. Where this happens, we rely on legally recognized transfer mechanisms — Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission, or equivalent safeguards — to ensure your data continues to receive adequate protection.
If you believe we have not handled your personal data appropriately, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. We would, of course, prefer that you reach out to us first so we have a chance to resolve the issue directly.
If you are a California resident, you have specific rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). These include the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to delete personal information, the right to correct inaccurate information, and the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information.
We do not sell your personal information. We do not engage in cross-context behavioral advertising that would constitute "sharing" under the CPRA. The only third-party that receives identifiable information through our affiliate program is Amazon — and only when you voluntarily click through to their site.
To exercise any CCPA right, email hello@ergogadgetpicks.com. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your privacy rights.
ErgogadgetPicks is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or 16 in some jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, applicable law, or other reasons. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you through a prominent notice on the site.
We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically. Your continued use of ErgogadgetPicks after any changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, want to exercise any of your privacy rights, or just want clarification on anything mentioned here, please reach out:
One last note: Privacy on the modern web is a moving target. Laws evolve, technologies change, and best practices shift. We are committed to keeping this policy current and to handling your data with the same respect we would expect for our own. If anything is unclear, ask us — we read every message.
