Privacy policy

This policy explains what data BrushcutterHQ ("we", "us") collects when you visit thebrushcutterhq.com, and how we use it. By using the site you agree to this policy.

What we collect

• Basic technical data — like your approximate country (used to send you to the correct Amazon store) and standard server logs (IP, browser, pages viewed) needed to run and secure the site.
• Analytics — only with your consent, through Google Analytics (see “Cookies” below).
• Anything you send us — for example, if you email us via the contact page, we keep your message to reply.

We do not ask you to create an account, and we don't require your email to use the site.

Cookies

Site analytics. Only if you accept in the banner, this site uses Google Analytics 4, from Google, to count visits, page views and clicks to Amazon. Cookies (_ga, _ga_*) are then set for up to 13 months, and Google receives a technical identifier, the page viewed and information about your device; your IP address is not stored. This data is kept for 14 months and may be transferred to the United States under the Data Privacy Framework and standard contractual clauses. The legal basis is your consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)). Without your consent, no Google script loads. Your choice is kept for 6 months in your browser, and you can change it at any time with the “Manage cookies” link at the foot of the page.

Affiliate partners such as Amazon may set their own cookies when you click through to their sites, so they can attribute a purchase — this is governed by their own privacy policies.

Affiliate links

When you click a product link we may redirect you to a retailer (usually the Amazon store for your country) with an affiliate tag. See our affiliate disclosure for details. We don't receive your payment or personal purchase details — only aggregate commission reports.

Third parties

We rely on a small number of service providers to operate the site (hosting, a price-data API and analytics). They process data only to provide their service. We never sell your personal data.

Who is responsible

The data controller is the publisher named on the legal notice page. Server logs are kept only as long as needed to run and secure the site.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or UK GDPR), you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal data we hold about you, or to object to processing. To exercise these rights, contact us.

Changes

We may update this policy; the "last updated" date above will change accordingly.

This policy is provided in good faith as a clear, general privacy notice. If you have specific legal requirements for your jurisdiction, please review it with a professional.
