Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Ironhart Gadgets ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our electronics review and comparison website. As an affiliate site, we earn commissions from qualifying purchases made through links to third-party retailers, and we are committed to handling your information transparently and in accordance with applicable data protection laws, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). This policy was last updated in 2026.

Information We Collect

We collect only the information necessary to operate our website, understand how visitors use it, and support our affiliate relationships. The categories of information we collect are described below.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. We use several types of cookies, each with a distinct purpose:

Essential cookies: These are required for the website to function properly, such as remembering your cookie preferences, maintaining site security, and enabling core navigation. The site cannot operate correctly without them, so they do not require your consent.
Analytics cookies: These help us understand how visitors interact with our content — for example, which product reviews are most popular, how long visitors stay on a page, and which pages may need improvement. This data is aggregated and used to enhance the visitor experience. Analytics cookies are only set with your consent.
Affiliate cookies: When you click a link to a partner retailer, that retailer or an affiliate network may place a cookie on your device to attribute a resulting purchase to us so that we receive a commission. These cookies do not typically contain personally identifying information, and any purchase you make is governed by the retailer's own privacy policy.

You can manage or withdraw your cookie consent at any time through our cookie settings tool, and you can also control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect how parts of the site work.

Usage Data

When you browse Ironhart Gadgets, we may automatically collect information about how you use the site. This usage data can include the pages you visit, the links you click, the time and date of your visit, the duration of your session, and the website or search engine that referred you to us. We use this information to analyze site performance, improve our electronics content, and make navigation easier.

Device and Technical Information

We may also collect technical information about the device you use to access our website. This can include your device type, operating system, browser type and version, screen resolution, language settings, and a truncated or anonymized IP address. This information helps us ensure the site displays correctly across devices, maintain security, and diagnose technical problems.

Newsletter Email Collection

If you choose to subscribe to our newsletter, we collect the email address you provide so that we can send you product updates, deals, and buying guides related to electronics. Signing up for the newsletter is entirely optional and is based on your explicit consent. When you subscribe, you actively opt in, and every newsletter we send includes a clear unsubscribe link. You may withdraw your consent and stop receiving emails at any time, and we will delete your email address from our mailing list upon request.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

To operate, maintain, and secure our website.
To understand how visitors use our content and to improve our reviews, comparisons, and overall user experience.
To attribute affiliate referrals so that we may earn commissions from qualifying purchases.
To send our newsletter to subscribers who have opted in.
To comply with legal obligations and respond to lawful requests.

We Do Not Sell or Trade Your Personal Data

Ironhart Gadgets does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties. We do not exchange your information for money or other valuable consideration. The limited information we collect is used solely for the purposes described in this policy. Under the CCPA, you have the right to know that we do not sell your personal information, and we will not do so.

Third-Party Services

We work with trusted third-party services, such as analytics providers and affiliate networks, that may process information on our behalf or set their own cookies when you interact with their links. When you click through to a partner retailer, you leave our site and become subject to that retailer's privacy practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party websites you visit.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data. We honor these rights regardless of your location where practical.

Rights Under the GDPR

If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you have the right to:

Access the personal data we hold about you.
Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
Request deletion of your personal data ("right to be forgotten").
Restrict or object to the processing of your data.
Request a copy of your data in a portable format.
Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent.

Rights Under the CCPA

If you are a California resident, you have the right to:

Know what categories of personal information we collect and how it is used.
Request access to the specific information we have collected about you.
Request deletion of your personal information, subject to legal exceptions.
Opt out of the sale of personal information — though, as noted above, we do not sell your data.
Not be discriminated against for exercising your privacy rights.

Data Retention and Security

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy or as required by law. Newsletter data is kept until you unsubscribe. We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children's Privacy

Our website is not directed at children under the age of 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised update date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
