// Privacy Policy
The Short Version: I respect your privacy. I don't sell your data, I don't run invasive ad-tracking networks, and I only collect what's necessary to keep Garage Biohacker running, improve the content, and credit affiliate commissions properly.
// 01 Who We Are & What We Collect
Garage Biohacker ("we," "our," or "us") operates garagebiohacker.com. When you visit the site, we may collect minimal personal information depending on how you interact with us:
- Voluntary Info: If you fill out our contact form, email us directly, or sign up for an email newsletter, we collect your name and email address.
- Automatic Info: Like most websites, our servers automatically log standard technical data when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, referring pages, and the timestamps of your visits.
// 02 Cookies & Affiliate Tracking
How Affiliate Cookies Work
When you click an affiliate link on our site (such as an Amazon link or a gear recommendation), a small text file called a cookie is placed in your browser by the retailer. This tells the retailer you came from Garage Biohacker so they can credit our account. These cookies do not give us access to your credit card info, passwords, or personal identity.
Analytics & Performance
We use standard analytics tools to see which gear reviews are getting read and how people navigate the site. This helps us figure out what content is actually useful. You can disable cookies at any time through your browser settings.
// 03 How We Use Your Information
Any data we gather is used strictly to:
- Maintain, protect, and improve the website and garage lab content.
- Respond to your emails, questions, or feedback via the contact page.
- Send newsletters or updates if you have explicitly opted in.
- Comply with legal obligations and track valid affiliate transactions.
// 04 Data Sharing & Third Parties
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We only share data with trusted partners under strict conditions:
- Service Providers: Hosting platforms, email service providers, and analytics tools that help operate the website.
- Affiliate Networks: Retailers like Amazon receive anonymous click data when you use our shopping links to track sales.
- Legal Requirements: If required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities.
// 05 External Links
Our site contains links to other websites, brands, and scientific studies. Once you click a link and leave Garage Biohacker, we have no control over that external site. Therefore, we cannot be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information you provide while visiting such sites.
