Introduction
DeskPedalGuide.com ("we," "our," or "us") operates this website. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit our site, how we use it, and what rights you have regarding that information.
Information We Collect
Analytics Data
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use this site. Google Analytics collects information including: pages visited, time on page, browser and device type, approximate geographic location (country/region level), and referring URLs. This data is collected in aggregate and anonymized — we cannot identify individual visitors from this data. IP addresses are anonymized before storage.
Cookies
Google Analytics uses cookies to distinguish users and track sessions. These are analytics cookies only; we do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or retargeting technologies. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Information You Provide
We do not have a contact form, newsletter signup, or user account system. If you email us at hello@deskpedalguide.com, we receive and store that email for the purpose of responding to your inquiry. We do not add you to any mailing list or share your email address.
Affiliate Links
This site contains links to Amazon.com through the Amazon Associates affiliate program. When you click an affiliate link, Amazon may set cookies to track purchases for commission purposes. Amazon's data practices are governed by Amazon's Privacy Notice.
How We Use Information
We use analytics data solely to understand which content is useful to visitors and to improve the site. We do not sell data, share data with third parties (except as described above for Google Analytics and Amazon), or use data for advertising.
Data Retention
Google Analytics data is retained for 14 months by default. Email correspondence is retained until no longer relevant to the conversation.
Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you. Since we collect minimal personal data, this primarily applies to email correspondence. Contact us at hello@deskpedalguide.com with any privacy requests.
California residents: We do not sell personal information. We do not have actual knowledge that we sell the personal information of minors under 16 years of age.
European visitors (GDPR): Our legal basis for analytics data collection is legitimate interest (understanding site usage to improve content quality). You have the right to object to this processing by using the Google Analytics opt-out tool linked above.
Children's Privacy
This site is not directed at children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
