Overview
GadgetDrop ("we," "our," or "us") operates GadgetDrop.tech. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data. By using this site you agree to the collection and use of information as described here.
Information we collect
Email address: if you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address to send you weekly content digests. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email we send.
Affiliate click data: when you click an outbound Amazon link, we log a hashed version of your IP address (one-way hash, not reversible), the referring page, your browser user agent string, and a timestamp. This is used solely for measuring affiliate link performance. We do not store your raw IP address.
Usage data: like most websites, our hosting provider automatically collects standard server log data including anonymised IP addresses, pages visited, browser type, and referring URLs. We use this to understand site traffic.
Cookies: we and our third-party advertising partners (Google AdSense) use cookies to serve and personalise ads. See the Advertising section below for details and opt-out options.
How we use your information
- To send the weekly GadgetDrop newsletter (subscribers only)
- To measure the performance of affiliate links and improve our content
- To understand how visitors use the site and improve its design

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