Privacy Policy

What this policy covers

This Privacy Policy explains how PickWise collects and uses information when you visit trypickwise.com. We collect only what is needed to operate the site, understand readership, respond to requests, and support affiliate links.

Information you provide

If you email us, we receive the information included in your message, such as your email address, name, and the details of your request. We use it only to respond, investigate corrections, or handle a privacy request.

Information collected automatically

Our hosting provider may process technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, requested pages, and timestamps for security, reliability, and abuse prevention. PickWise uses Google Analytics 4 to understand aggregate traffic, popular pages, and general site performance. Google Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies. The site sends the G-JPMQCEQH3L measurement ID with IP anonymization enabled. We do not use analytics to sell personal information.

Cookies and affiliate links

PickWise may use necessary cookies and third-party affiliate links. When you click an affiliate link, the retailer or affiliate network may set its own tracking cookie and process your visit under its privacy policy. PickWise does not control those third-party cookies. See our affiliate disclosure for more information.

Third-party services

Google Analytics, links to retailers, affiliate networks, email services, and other websites are governed by those services’ own policies. Review their terms before submitting information or making a purchase. You can manage or block cookies through your browser settings and available Google privacy controls.

Retention and security

We retain correspondence and operational logs only for as long as reasonably needed for the purpose collected, legal obligations, and security. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we use reasonable measures to protect information under our control.

Your choices and requests

You may ask what personal information we hold about you, request correction or deletion where applicable, or ask us not to use your information for a particular purpose. Email editor@trypickwise.com with the subject “Privacy request.”

Children

PickWise is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Updates and contact

We may update this policy when the site or its services change. For privacy questions, contact editor@trypickwise.com.
