We can’t lose what we never had.
That’s the whole approach, and it’s deliberate. A lot of websites collect everything they can about their readers and then promise to guard it. We’d rather not hold it.
What we don’t have
- No reader accounts. There’s no password of yours here to steal.
- No mailing list. We don’t keep a list of our readers’ names and addresses. A list like that is exactly the kind of thing that gets leaked, sold, or handed over, so we simply don’t build one.
- No payment information, ever. When you buy something we recommended, you check out at the retailer’s store. Your card never touches this site.
What we do have, said plainly
- If you leave a comment or send us a message, we have what you typed. That’s the job.
- If you click a buy link, we log the click — the page you were on, and that a real reader clicked — because that’s how we know which reviews earn their keep. We don’t sell it. Once you’re at the retailer, their cookies are theirs, not ours.
- We run basic visitor counts so we know which pages people read. We do not run advertising trackers, and nobody profiles you here to sell to anyone else.
How the site itself is locked down
This site runs on servers we manage ourselves, with no shared hosting and no strangers’ sites on the same machine. Security updates install themselves as they’re released. Getting into the controls takes a password plus a one-time code, an address that keeps guessing gets shut out on its own, and the parts of the software that could be turned against the site are switched off.
The short version: your business stays your business here, mostly because we never asked for it.
