Last updated: 10 October 2025
Your privacy matters to us. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how you can contact us with questions.
1. Overview
The Foot Facts does not sell, rent, or trade personal information. We collect only what’s necessary to operate the site and respond to reader messages.
2. Information we collect
- Contact form submissions: If you send us a message, we collect your name, email, and message content so we can reply.
- Analytics: We use Plausible Analytics to understand site traffic. It does not use cookies or store personal data.
- Affiliate links: Retailers like Amazon may track clicks for commission purposes. This data does not identify you personally and is managed by the retailer’s own privacy policy.
3. Cookies
Our site itself doesn’t set marketing cookies. Some affiliate partners may use tracking cookies to ensure commissions are attributed correctly when you make a purchase. You can disable cookies in your browser settings if you prefer.
4. Data retention
We keep contact messages only as long as needed to respond or maintain context for ongoing discussions. We don’t build mailing lists or user profiles.
