Privacy Policy

Welcome to TechOnABudget. Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visitTechOnABudget.com.

1. Information We Collect

We collect limited information to help us understand how visitors use our site and to improve your experience. This includes:

  • Analytics Data: We use analytics tools to measure website traffic, page views, session duration, device type, and browser information. This data is completely anonymous and used only for internal analysis — not for advertising or tracking you across other websites.
  • Contact Information: Only if you choose to email us directly (e.g., for feedback, inquiries, or support requests).

Note: We do NOT collect personally identifiable information (PII) through our website. All analytics are aggregated and anonymous.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the data we collect strictly for personal and internal purposes:

  • To understand overall visitor trends and improve site performance.
  • To respond to messages or inquiries you send us via email.
  • To optimize content and user experience based on usage patterns.

We do NOT sell, rent, share, or disclose your data to third parties for advertising, marketing, or any commercial purposes.

3. Amazon Affiliate Program & Product Images

TechOnABudget is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.

When you click on our Amazon affiliate links and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This helps us maintain the site and continue providing free, high-quality content.

Product Images from Amazon

We use product images from Amazon and other retailers to illustrate our reviews and recommendations. These images are used under the Amazon Associates Program Operating Agreement and for informational purposes only.

Image Rights: All product images remain the property of their respective owners (Amazon, manufacturers, or retailers). We do not claim ownership of these images. If you believe any image on our site infringes on your copyright, please contact us immediately at contactUS and we will promptly remove or replace it.

Amazon may use cookies to track referrals and purchases through our affiliate links. We do not control or access these third-party cookies. Please refer to Amazon's Privacy Policy for more information.

4. Other Affiliate Links

In addition to Amazon, we may include affiliate links to other retailers and platforms (such as Flipkart, Best Buy, or manufacturer websites). When you make a purchase through these links, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.

These programs may use cookies or tracking pixels to attribute sales. We do not control these third-party tracking mechanisms.

5. Website Analytics

We use privacy-focused analytics tools to measure:

  • Page views and visitor counts
  • Time spent on pages
  • Geographic location (country/region level only)
  • Device type and browser information
  • Referral sources (where visitors came from)

This data is completely anonymous and aggregated. We cannot identify individual users, and we do NOT use this data for advertising or cross-site tracking.

6. Cookies

Our website uses minimal cookies:

  • Affiliate Cookies: Third-party cookies from Amazon and other retailers to track referred purchases (controlled by them, not us).

7. How We Protect Your Data

We use industry-standard security measures to protect any information you share with us:

  • Secure HTTPS encryption for all website traffic
  • Regular security updates and monitoring
  • Limited data collection (we only collect what's necessary)

However, no internet transmission is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Your Rights and Choices

Because we do not collect personally identifiable information (PII), there is no personal data stored that would require deletion or correction requests.

However, you have the right to:

  • Contact us to ask questions about our data practices
  • Request removal of any content or images that concern you

9. Third-Party Websites

Our site contains links to third-party websites (Amazon, retailers, manufacturers). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these external sites. Please review their privacy policies before sharing any information.

11. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The latest version will always be available on this page with an updated "Effective Date."
