Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 20, 2026
This Privacy Policy outlines how audiogearly.com (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, stores, and shares your personal data when you visit, browse, or interact with our website. This policy complies with U.S. FTC regulations, Amazon Associates Program rules, CCPA, and COPPA standards.
1. Information We Automatically Collect
When you access audiogearly.com, our server and third-party tools automatically gather non-identifiable device and browsing data, including:
- Your device type, web browser brand and version, operating system, and screen resolution
- Public IP address, approximate geographic time zone, and general location region
- Site navigation behavior, page dwell time, clicked links, and search queries entered on our site
- First-party and third-party cookie data stored on your device
We do not intentionally collect full names, physical addresses, phone numbers, payment info, or other sensitive personally identifiable information unless you voluntarily submit it via our contact form.
2. Cookie & Tracking Technology Disclosure
Our website uses permanent and temporary browser cookies, pixel trackers, and session storage for core functionality and affiliate traffic attribution:
- Site functional cookies: Preserve page layout, navigation preferences, and legal page read status. These cannot be disabled without breaking site features.
- Amazon Associates tracking cookies: When you click any Amazon affiliate link marked #ad, Amazon places a 24-hour attribution cookie on your device to record qualifying purchases for commission tracking.
- Analytics cookies: Aggregate anonymous visitor metrics to improve review content and site performance.
You may disable all third-party cookies via your browser’s privacy settings. Disabling tracking cookies will not affect normal website browsing, but will prevent affiliate commission attribution for your purchases.
3. Amazon Associates Affiliate Data Sharing
We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program.
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
Amazon may independently deploy tracking cookies, collect click referral data, and record transaction information when you follow our outbound links to Amazon marketplaces including Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, and Amazon.ca. All data collected by Amazon is governed by Amazon’s separate Privacy Policy, not this document. We never share your personal visitor data with Amazon or other retail partners outside of automatic link tracking.
4. Voluntarily Submitted Personal Information
If you send an email to our contact address mark@audiogearly.com, you voluntarily provide your email address and any message content included in your inquiry. We only use this data to reply to your questions, resolve review feedback, or accept product suggestion requests. We will never sell, rent, or share your email address with third-party advertisers, audio brands, or marketing firms. All email correspondence is stored securely and deleted upon your written request.
5. Data Storage & User Rights
All anonymous browsing data and voluntary contact messages are stored on secure U.S.-based web servers. Under applicable privacy laws, you hold the right to:
- Request a full copy of all personal data we have stored linked to your visits
- Request permanent deletion of all your stored user data
- Opt out of third-party analytics and affiliate tracking cookies via browser controls
- Submit a privacy complaint by emailing mark@audiogearly.com
We will respond to all data requests within 7 business days.
6. COPPA Compliance – Children Under 13
This website is intended exclusively for adult visitors aged 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect, store, or distribute personal information from minors under the age of 13. If you believe we have received data from a child under 13, contact us immediately for full data removal.
7. Third-Party Website Liability
Our site contains affiliate links directing to Amazon and other external retail platforms. We have no control over the privacy practices, data collection tools, or cookie policies of any external website. All data submitted on third-party retail sites is governed by their own independent privacy policies.
8. Policy Updates
We reserve the right to revise this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect legal rule changes or site functionality updates. All revisions take effect immediately upon publication on this page. The “Last updated” date at the top will always reflect the most recent policy revision. Continued site use after updates constitutes your acceptance of revised terms.
