1. What information we collect

Information you provide directly

We collect information you voluntarily give us when you:

• Contact us via email or our contact form — your name and email address.
• Subscribe to our newsletter — your email address (we use a double opt-in process).
• Leave a comment on a blog post — your name, email, and any information you include in the comment.

Information collected automatically

When you visit our site, we automatically collect certain information through cookies and similar technologies:

• Device and browser information — IP address, browser type, operating system, screen resolution.
• Usage data — pages visited, time spent, links clicked, referring website.
• Approximate location — inferred from your IP address (city/region level only).

2. How we use your information

We use your information for the following purposes:

• To provide and improve our content — understanding what readers find useful helps us create better guides.
• To respond to your inquiries — replying to emails, comments, and contact form submissions.
• To send newsletters — if you opt in, we’ll send occasional updates about new reviews and guides. You can unsubscribe at any time.
• To analyze site traffic — using aggregated data to understand which content performs best.
• To prevent fraud and abuse — monitoring for suspicious activity or violations of our terms.

Legal basis for processing (GDPR): We process your personal data based on your consent (e.g., when you subscribe to our newsletter) or our legitimate interest in providing a functional website and improving our content.

3. Cookies and tracking

Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us remember your preferences and understand how you interact with our site.

What cookies we use

• Essential cookies: Required for basic site functionality (e.g., remembering your cookie preferences).
• Analytics cookies: We use Google Analytics to understand site traffic and user behavior (anonymized data).
• Preference cookies: Remember your settings, like dark mode or language preferences.

Managing your cookies

You can control and manage cookies in your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies, but please note that some site features may not function properly without them.

4. Third-party services

We use trusted third-party services to operate our website. These services may process your data in accordance with their own privacy policies.

• Google Analytics: Tracks anonymous usage data to help us improve the site. Google’s privacy policy.
• Amazon Associates: Our affiliate program. Amazon may collect data when you click through and make a purchase. Amazon’s privacy policy.
• Email providers: We use a third-party email service (e.g., Mailchimp or similar) to manage newsletter subscriptions.

We do not sell or rent your personal data to third parties for their own marketing purposes.

5. Affiliate links and advertising

ProjectorInsight participates in affiliate programs, primarily the Amazon Associates Program. This means we may earn a small commission when you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase — at no additional cost to you.

These links are distinguished by a ?tag= or ref= parameter in the URL. Amazon may place cookies on your device to track referrals for commission purposes. We do not have access to your purchase history or personal information from these transactions.

We also display non-personalized, context-based advertisements through display networks. These ads are not targeted based on your browsing history across other sites.

6. Data security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These include:

• SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your browser and our server.
• Regular software updates and security patches.
• Restricted access to personal data to only essential personnel.
• Secure storage of any data we retain (we minimize retention where possible).

While we strive to protect your information, no transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we continuously work to improve our safeguards.

7. Your rights (GDPR & CCPA)
