When you read this site

You can read our guides without an account. We do not use visitor analytics, advertising pixels, tracking cookies, signup forms, or reader profiles. We do not sell personal information or use it for targeted advertising.

Our hosting provider, Cloudflare, processes technical request data to deliver and protect the site. This can include an IP address, requested page, request time, and browser details. We do not add our own visitor logging or analytics to those requests. Cloudflare describes its handling of service data in its privacy policy.

Our pages load AMP software from cdn.ampproject.org so images and the article menu work. Your browser sends a network request to that service, which includes technical details such as your IP address. This site does not include AMP analytics or advertising components. If you read a cached version through a search service, that service may also process your visit under its own policy.

When you email us

If you send an email, we receive your address, message, and any details you choose to include. We use them to respond and handle your request. Our email service also processes the message to deliver it. Please send only the information needed for your question.

We keep correspondence as needed to handle the matter and meet any applicable recordkeeping duties. You may ask us to delete your message or correct details you sent. We may need to confirm the request comes from you before acting.

Links to other websites

Our guides link to shops, product makers, and other resources. Those websites have their own privacy practices. Opening a link sends you to that website; we do not control what it collects there.

We do not use affiliate links at launch. If we add them later, we may earn a commission from qualifying purchases. We will disclose that arrangement where it applies and update this policy to reflect any related data practices.

Editorial identity and AI assistance

Mara Ellis is an editorial pen name used by Shimmy Beach Club. The portrait is an illustration, not a photograph of a real author. AI tools assist with writing, editing, and artwork. First-person recommendations express editorial choices; they do not imply a purchase, visit, or hands-on product test.

Your questions and choices

Contact us to ask about information you have sent, request a correction or deletion, or raise a privacy concern. Rights can vary by where you live and the laws that apply. We will respond to the request in that context.

We will update this page if our practices change. The date at the top shows the latest revision.
