This Privacy Policy explains what information StandToStern.com (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects when you visit our website, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using this site, you agree to the practices described here.
Information We Collect
Information collected automatically. When you visit, certain information is collected through our web hosting and analytics tools, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, the pages you view, how long you stay, and the website that referred you. This information is not used to identify you personally.
Information you provide. If you contact us by email, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to include in your message. If comments are enabled on a post and you leave one, we collect the name, email address, and IP address you submit with it.
Cookies and Analytics
We use Google Site Kit, which connects this site to Google Analytics and Google Search Console, to understand how visitors find and use our content. These tools use cookies and similar technologies to collect usage data. You can control or delete cookies in your browser settings, and you can learn more about how Google uses data at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Affiliate Links and Advertising
This site contains affiliate links, including links to products on Amazon. If you click one of these links and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Our reviews reflect our own experience, and we only recommend products we can speak to honestly.
When you click an affiliate link, you leave our site and go to a third party’s website. Amazon and other retailers have their own privacy practices and may use cookies to track the referral. We don’t control those sites and encourage you to read their privacy policies.

Data Retention and Security
We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes above. We take reasonable steps to protect the site, but no method of transmitting or storing data online is completely secure.
