Personal information you disclose to us

In short: We collect personal information you provide to us.

We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you subscribe to our newsletter, request information about our content or products featured through affiliate links, participate in interactive features (such as comments, if available), or otherwise when you contact us directly.

Sensitive information. We do not process sensitive information.

All personal information that you provide to us must be true, complete, and accurate, and you must notify us of any changes to such personal information.

Information automatically collected

In short: Some information – such as your internet protocol (IP) address and/or browser and device characteristics – is collected automatically when you visit our Website.

We automatically collect certain information when you visit, use, or navigate our Website. The information does not reveal your specific identity (like your name or contact information) but may include device and usage information, such as your IP address, browser, and device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, device name, approximate location, information about how and when you use our Website, and other technical information. This information is primarily needed to maintain the security and operation of the Website, and for our internal reporting purposes.

We use Independent Analytics, a privacy-friendly, cookie-free tool that allows us to track visits and usage trends without placing cookies on your device or collecting personal identifiers. However, please note that affiliate partners may place cookies when you click on affiliate links to track purchases and assign commissions. These cookies are managed by the affiliate networks, not by Tech and Trendy.

Third-party data

We may collect information from third-party sources such as public databases and affiliate partners. We use self-hosted analytics tools like Independent Analytics (IA) to measure website traffic and performance, which does not share data with external providers. In the future, if we display advertisements, our advertising partners may also collect or provide information based on user interactions with ads.

In short: We process your information to operate, improve, and manage our website and affiliate content, communicate with you, ensure security and fraud prevention, and comply with legal requirements. We may also process your information for other purposes with your consent.

We process your personal information for a variety of reasons, depending on how you interact with our website, including when you:

• Visit our website, blog, or affiliate content to access articles, reviews, or recommendations.
• Subscribe to our newsletter or respond to promotions so we can keep you updated.
• Contact us through forms or email so we can respond to inquiries and provide support.
• Click on affiliate links so we can track referrals and improve our affiliate partnerships.
• Help maintain security, prevent fraud, and protect against unauthorized activities.
• Comply with applicable laws and regulations.

In short: We may share information in specific situations described in this section and/or with the following third parties.

We may need to share your personal information in the following situations:

• Affiliate Partners. Since we participate in affiliate marketing programs, we may share information with affiliate networks or merchants to track referrals, validate purchases, and receive commissions.
• Service Providers. We may share your information with trusted third-party vendors who perform services for us, such as website hosting, analytics, email delivery, or customer support.
• Business Partners. We may share information with partners when offering promotions, collaborations, or joint content that may be relevant to you.
• Legal Obligations. We may disclose information if required by law, to comply with legal processes, or to protect our rights, property, and the safety of others.
• Business Transfers. In the unlikely event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that business transaction

In short: We use minimal cookies on this Website. Independent Analytics, our analytics tool, does not set cookies, but affiliate networks may place cookies when you click on affiliate links. In the future, advertising partners may also use cookies to deliver relevant ads.

We use limited cookies and similar technologies on our Website. Independent Analytics, our analytics tool, does not use cookies by default. However, affiliate networks may place cookies on your device when you click on affiliate links, so purchases can be tracked and commissions properly assigned.

Examples of how third-party cookies may be used:

• Essential functions. Ensuring the website loads properly, remains secure, and operates smoothly.
• Affiliate tracking. Monitoring clicks on affiliate links to track purchases and properly attribute commissions.
• Future Advertising. If we introduce ads in the future, advertising partners may use cookies to serve relevant ads.

For more details about the cookies we use and how you can manage or refuse them, please see our Cookie Policy.

In short: If you interact with us through social media, we may receive certain information about you.

Our website and content may include features that allow you to interact with us through third-party social media platforms (such as Facebook, Instagram, X, Pinterest, or LinkedIn). When you choose to engage with us in this way—for example, by liking, sharing, commenting on, or clicking through our posts — we may receive certain profile information made available to us by your social media provider.

The information we receive depends on your privacy settings with the relevant platform, but may include your name, username, profile picture, email address, and any other information you choose to make public.

We use this information only for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, such as responding to your messages, improving our content, and understanding audience engagement. Please note that we do not control, and are not responsible for, how your personal information is collected, used, or shared by the social media platforms themselves. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any social media platforms you use to better understand how they handle your data and how you can adjust your privacy preferences.

In short: Yes. We may transfer, store, and process your information in countries other than your own.

Tech and Trendy is hosted on third-party servers provided by our web hosting provider. Regardless of your location, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored by, and processed by us on these servers, as well as by third-party service providers and affiliate partners with whom we work (see “WHEN AND WITH WHOM DO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?” above). This may include facilities located in the United States and other countries.

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom (UK), or Switzerland, please note that these countries may not necessarily have data protection laws or other similar laws as comprehensive as those in your country. However, we will take all necessary measures to protect your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.

In short: We keep your information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless otherwise required by law.

At Tech and Trendy, we will retain your personal information only for as long as it is needed for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy—for example, to provide access to our website, respond to inquiries, or comply with legal obligations. We do not retain personal information longer than necessary, and we do not store any payment details since purchases are completed through our affiliate partners.

We retain technical information collected through Independent Analytics for up to 180 days, after which it is automatically deleted in line with our analytics settings. Affiliate tracking cookies are controlled by the affiliate networks and may expire after a set period (for example, 30–90 days), depending on their policies.

When there is no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it. If deletion is not immediately possible (for instance, due to secure backup systems), your information will be safely stored and isolated from further use until it can be permanently deleted.

In short: We do not knowingly collect data from or market directly to children under 18 years of age.

While Tech and Trendy may feature or review products designed for children, our website and services are intended for adult use only. We do not knowingly collect, solicit, or market personal information from minors under the age of 18, nor do we knowingly sell such information. Any promotions of children’s products on our site are directed toward parents, guardians, or other adults who are legally able to make purchasing decisions.

By using our website, you represent that you are at least 18 years old, or that you are the parent or guardian supervising the use of our website on behalf of a minor. If we become aware that personal information has been inadvertently collected from a user under 18, we will take steps to promptly delete such data from our records. If you believe that we may have collected information from a minor, please contact us at admin@techandtrendy.com.

In short: Depending on your country, province, or state of residence, you may have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal information, and to withdraw consent for data processing at any time.

Withdrawing your consent: If we rely on your consent to process your personal information (for example, when you subscribe to our newsletter or allow cookies), you may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us using the details provided in the section “HOW CAN YOU CONTACT US ABOUT THIS NOTICE?” below. Please note that this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before your withdrawal, nor will it prevent us from processing your information where permitted under applicable law.

Your rights may include the ability to:

• Request access to the personal information we hold about you.
• Request corrections to inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Request deletion of your personal information where legally applicable.
• Opt out of marketing communications such as newsletters or promotional emails.
• Manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.

Since Tech and Trendy does not create user accounts, requests related to your personal information will be handled directly through our contact email. We may retain limited information where required for legal, security, or fraud-prevention purposes.

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and applications include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have certain data about your browsing activities collected. At present, there is no uniform standard for how websites should respond to these signals.

Therefore, Tech and Trendy does not currently respond to Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) browser signals. However, because we use Independent Analytics, which is cookie-free, our analytics tracking is minimal and does not rely on personal identifiers. Please note that affiliate networks may still set their own cookies beyond our control.

In short: Yes, we will update this notice as necessary to remain compliant with relevant laws and industry practices.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, legal requirements, or for other operational reasons. When we make updates, the “Last Revised” date at the top of this Privacy Policy will be updated to show the effective version.

If material changes are made, we may notify you by posting a prominent notice on our website. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how Tech and Trendy protects your information.

Depending on the laws of your country, you may have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you, ask for corrections if it is inaccurate, or request that it be deleted.

You may also have the right to withdraw your consent to certain processing activities, such as receiving newsletters or allowing cookies. These rights may be limited in certain cases as permitted by applicable law.

Since Tech and Trendy does not maintain user accounts, requests related to your personal information (for example, email subscriptions or contact form submissions) can be made directly by contacting us as mentioned in the section above. We will review and respond to your request in accordance with applicable privacy laws.
