Privacy policy

Kit Authority (https://kitauthority.com) respects your privacy. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have. In plain terms: we run a gear-review site, we use standard web analytics to understand what is useful, and we earn affiliate commissions when you buy through our links. We do not sell your personal information.

Information we collect

We do not require an account to read Kit Authority, and we do not ask you to submit personal details to browse. We collect two kinds of information:

• Usage data, collected automatically. Like most websites, our hosting and analytics tools record technical information such as your approximate location (country or region), device and browser type, the pages you visit, and the links you click. This is aggregated and used to improve the site.
• Information you choose to give us. If you email us or, in the future, sign up for a newsletter, we receive whatever you send (such as your email address). We only use it to reply or to send what you asked for.

Cookies and tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies for two purposes: to measure traffic with privacy-conscious analytics, and to attribute affiliate referrals so that retailers credit us for purchases you make after clicking our links. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; the site will still work, though some measurement may be incomplete.

Affiliate links and Amazon Associates

Kit Authority is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program and other affiliate programs. When you click an outbound product link and make a purchase, the retailer may set a cookie and pay us a commission at no additional cost to you. These programs may collect their own data under their own privacy policies once you leave our site. See our affiliate disclosure for details on how this works and how it does not influence our rankings.

Third-party services

We rely on reputable third parties to operate the site, including a hosting and content delivery provider, web analytics, and the affiliate networks above. These providers process data on our behalf or under their own terms. We do not control, and are not responsible for, the privacy practices of retailers and other sites we link to.

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, or to object to certain processing. Because we collect very little, this usually amounts to email correspondence and cookie controls. To make a request, contact us at the address below and we will respond within a reasonable time.

Children

Kit Authority is intended for adults and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the site grows or as laws change. When we do, we will revise the date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
