This site covers privacy for a living — the devices we review and where they send your audio — so our own policy will be held to the same standard: plain English, honest scope, no dark patterns. It's short because we collect almost nothing.
Section 1
What we collect
Contact form submissions. If you send us a message, the name, email address, topic, and message you provide are delivered to our editorial inbox. That's the complete list — our contact form asks for nothing else, and browsing the site never requires an account. The point of the site — see about us — is verified public information, not visitor data.
What we do NOT collect: no cookies, no advertising trackers, and no profiling of individuals as of September 2026. We measure aggregate pageviews only — which pages in total, from which referrers and countries — and nothing that identifies you; we have deliberately built nothing that would.
Analytics note (added September 6, 2026): we use Rybbit, a cookieless analytics service hosted at app.rybbit.io. It counts pageviews and aggregate statistics (referrer, country, device type) without cookies or cross-site tracking. Our on-site event measurements carry section names and scroll milestones only — never link URLs, link text, or anything identifying you.
Section 2
How your data is used
One purpose: responding to your message. A correction gets routed into our editorial workflow (per the editorial policy); a question gets an answer; a press or partnership request gets considered. Your email address is used to reply — not to subscribe you to anything, and not for marketing, because we send no marketing.
Section 3
Data retention
Contact messages may remain in our editorial mailbox while they are useful — an active thread, an unresolved correction, or an ongoing conversation — and are deleted when they no longer are. We don't commit to an automatic clock, so here's the commitment that matters instead: ask us to delete your message and we will, promptly and completely, without requiring a reason.
Section 4
Third parties and outbound links
We link out to manufacturer and retailer sites (product pages, pricing, support docs) so you can verify our claims — that's the whole point of the site. Those sites have their own privacy policies, their own cookies, and their own data practices; once you leave AIRecorderGuide.com, we're not a party to what happens next. We embed no advertising trackers; the only third-party script on our pages is our cookieless analytics tool, covered in the analytics note above.
When outbound purchase links carry commission potential, that's disclosed where you click — the details live in our affiliate disclosure.
Section 5
Children's privacy
This site covers professional-grade recording hardware and is not directed at children under 13. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted the contact form, write to hello@airecorderguide.com and we'll delete the submission.
Section 6
Your rights
You can ask us to: access the data we hold about you (we'll tell you what's stored), correct it, or delete it. Email hello@airecorderguide.com or use the contact form with any topic — these requests go to the front of the queue, not the back. You don't need to live in a specific jurisdiction to ask; deletion is deletion.
Section 7
Changes to this policy
We currently use outbound Amazon Associates links. Clicking an Amazon link takes you to Amazon, where Amazon's own privacy and cookie practices apply. If our on-site analytics, advertising, or other data practices materially change, we'll update this page and date it honestly rather than quietly re-scoping the policy.
Changed September 6, 2026: activated cookieless aggregate analytics (Rybbit — app.rybbit.io). No cookies are set and no personal data is collected; see the analytics note. Every prior no-cookie commitment stands.
Effective date: August 2026; analytics note added September 6, 2026.
