Privacy Policy

This is a plain-English summary of what Pad & Polish collects, why, and who we share it with. This site is intended for a US audience.

Information you give us

When you use our contact form, we collect the name, email address, and message you enter. That information is sent as an email to our inbox so we can reply to you, and it is not used for anything else.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand how visitors use this site — which pages get read, roughly how people navigate, and which links get clicked. GA4 uses cookies and similar technology to do this. This data is aggregated and is not used to personally identify you.

Affiliate links and cookies

Product links on this site are affiliate links, mainly through the Amazon Associates program — see our full affiliate disclosure. When you click an affiliate link, the retailer (e.g., Amazon) may set its own cookie to track that the referral came from us, so we can earn a commission if you buy something. We don't control those cookies — they're set by the retailer, under the retailer's own privacy policy.

We do not sell your data

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes.

Third parties we use

• Amazon — affiliate links and their associated tracking cookies.
• Google Analytics — aggregated site-usage analytics.
• Vercel — our hosting provider, which processes standard web traffic to serve this site.

Each of these third parties has its own privacy practices governing the data it processes on our behalf.

Your requests

If you'd like to know what information we hold about you, or want us to delete a contact-form submission, email info@padandpolish.com.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes in a meaningful way, we'll update this page. Check back periodically if you have concerns.
