This Privacy Policy explains how test4.yaleollc.com collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website. We are committed to operating with minimal data collection and maximum transparency. Continued use of this site signifies your acceptance of this policy.
1. What We Collect
Information reaches us in two ways:
- Information you provide directly: If you submit our contact form, we receive your name and email address. This data is used solely to reply to your message and is never used for unsolicited marketing.
- Automatically collected technical data: Our hosting infrastructure records standard server logs — including IP addresses, browser types, referring URLs, and page timestamps. This data is routine infrastructure information and is not linked to personal identities.
- Cookies and analytics: Third-party tools we use (including Google Analytics and Amazon's affiliate tracking system) may place cookies on your device. These tools help us understand aggregate usage patterns and measure referral activity. Blocking cookies in your browser will not prevent the site from functioning.
2. Amazon Associates & Third-Party Tracking
This site participates in the Amazon Associates Programme. Clicking affiliate links redirects you to Amazon.com, which is governed entirely by Amazon's own Privacy Policy. We have no visibility into or control over data Amazon collects. Amazon may use cookies to attribute purchases to our referral account.
3. How We Use Information
- To respond to contact form submissions
- To analyse anonymised traffic patterns and improve our content
- To detect and prevent technical problems or abusive access
- To comply with any legal obligations that apply to us
We do not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise share your personal data with third parties for any commercial purpose.
4. Analytics
We use Google Analytics to collect anonymised, aggregated data about how pages on this site are visited. The data contains no personally identifiable information and is used solely to improve content and user experience. You may opt out at any time by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
5. External Links
This site links to Amazon and other external platforms. Once you leave our domain you are subject to those sites' own privacy practices, which are beyond our control. We strongly recommend reviewing any external site's privacy policy before submitting personal information.
6. Retention
Contact form messages are retained only for as long as needed to resolve your enquiry — typically no more than 90 days — after which they are permanently deleted. Aggregated analytics data may be retained longer but contains no identifying information.
7. Children
This website is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If you believe a child has submitted personal information to us, please contact us immediately so we can delete it.
8. Security
We take reasonable steps to protect the small amount of personal data we hold. All form submissions are transmitted over encrypted HTTPS connections. No online system can guarantee absolute security, and we recommend exercising general caution when sharing personal information on any website.
9. Your Rights
You may request to access, correct, or erase any personal data we hold about you at any time. Contact us with your request and we will respond within five business days.
10. Policy Updates
We may update this policy to reflect changes in our practices or legal obligations. The "Last reviewed" date above will be updated whenever changes are made. We recommend checking this page periodically.
