Privacy Policy
This policy explains what information DrinkingWaterFilter.com collects, how we use it, and the choices you have. We keep data collection to the minimum needed to run the site, and we never sell your personal information.
Information we collect
We collect two kinds of information:
Information you give us. When you subscribe to our newsletter or send us a message, you provide your email address and any details you include. We only use this to respond to you or to send the emails you asked for.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we automatically receive standard log data (such as your browser type, device, and pages visited) and use cookies and similar technologies to understand how the site is used and to keep it working properly.
Cookies and analytics
We use cookies for essential site functionality, for anonymous analytics (to see which content is helpful), and for affiliate tracking. Analytics providers such as Google Analytics may set cookies to measure traffic in aggregate; this data does not identify you personally. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though some features may not work as intended if you do.
Affiliate links
Some links on this site are affiliate links. When you click one, the retailer (for example Amazon) may set a cookie that credits us if you make a purchase. This lets the retailer pay us a commission at no extra cost to you. The retailer’s own privacy policy governs any data it collects once you leave our site. See our Affiliate Disclosure for details.
Newsletter and email
If you subscribe, we store your email address to send you our updates. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can opt out at any time. We do not share your email with third parties for their own marketing.
Third-party services
We rely on a small number of trusted third-party services to operate the site, which may include our web host, email/newsletter provider, analytics provider, and affiliate networks. These providers only process data as needed to deliver their service to us, and each maintains its own privacy practices.
Your rights and choices
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, to opt out of certain processing, or to withdraw consent. If you are in the EU/UK (GDPR) or California (CCPA/CPRA), these rights apply to you. To exercise any of them, contact us using the details below and we will respond within the timeframe the law requires.
Data retention and security
We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purpose it was collected, such as while you remain subscribed. We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, though no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure.
Children’s privacy
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or the equivalent age in your region). If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “last updated” date at the top of this page. Significant changes will be highlighted where appropriate.
