This Privacy Policy explains what information Toolbox Consensus (“we”, “us”) collects when you visit toolboxconsensus.com, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Information we collect

• Information you give us. If you use our contact form or leave a comment, we receive the name, email address and message you submit.
• Usage information. Like most websites, our hosting provider collects basic technical data such as your IP address, browser type, the pages you visit and how you arrived at our site. We use this in aggregate to understand which articles are useful.
• Cookies. Our site and the services it uses may set cookies, small files stored in your browser, to remember preferences, measure traffic, and track affiliate referrals.

Third-party services

• Hosting and analytics. Our site is hosted by WordPress.com (Automattic Inc.), which processes visitor data to run the site, provide site statistics and filter spam comments. See the Automattic Privacy Policy.
• Affiliate links. When you click an affiliate link, the retailer or affiliate network (for example, impact.com) may set a cookie to record that you came from our site, so a purchase can be credited to us. Those companies handle that data under their own privacy policies.
• Embedded videos. Some articles include embedded YouTube videos. Embedded content behaves as if you visited YouTube directly and may collect data about you under Google’s Privacy Policy.

How we use information

We use the information above to reply to your messages, run and improve the site, understand which content readers find helpful, and receive credit for affiliate referrals. We do not sell your personal information.

Your choices

• You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. The site will still work, though affiliate referrals may not be tracked.
• You can ask us to access, correct or delete personal information you’ve sent us (such as a contact form message) by contacting us. Depending on where you live (for example, California or the EU), you may have additional rights under local law.

Children

This site is intended for adults and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top shows when it last changed.
