Overview
PortableSolaPrices.com is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect (very little) and how we use it. We operate as a static comparison website with no user accounts, no logins, and no personal data collection.
Information We Collect
We collect minimal information to improve our service:
- Anonymous usage data: Via Fathom Analytics (page views, clicks, navigation patterns, referring sites)
- No personal information: We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any personally identifiable information
- No accounts required: PortableSolaPrices.com requires no registration, login, or user accounts
- No form submissions: We currently have no contact forms or data submission mechanisms
How We Use Information
The anonymous analytics data we collect is used solely to:
- Understand how visitors navigate our comparison tool and which features are most useful
- Improve website performance, user experience, and content quality
- Identify technical issues and optimize page load times
- Make data-driven decisions about new features and calculators to add
We do not sell, rent, or share any data with third parties (except as required by the services mentioned below).
Cookies
PortableSolaPrices.com uses cookies for analytics and affiliate purposes only. Specifically:
- Fathom Analytics cookies: Privacy-focused analytics to track anonymous usage patterns
- Amazon OneLink cookies: Used to support our affiliate program (see below)
You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time. Disabling cookies will not affect your ability to use PortableSolaPrices.com, though it will prevent us from understanding how the site is used.
Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services:
- Fathom Analytics: Privacy-focused website analytics service. View Fathom's Privacy Policy.
- Amazon Associates: Affiliate linking program. We earn commissions from qualifying purchases. View Amazon's Privacy Notice.
Each service has its own privacy policy governing how they handle data. We recommend reviewing their policies if you have concerns.
Affiliate Links & Amazon
PortableSolaPrices.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
When you click product links on our site and make a purchase on Amazon, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Important points:
- Prices are identical whether you use our links or go directly to Amazon
- Our affiliate relationship does not influence our comparison data or value scores
- All products are ranked objectively using the same algorithm
- We earn the same commission regardless of which product you purchase
Data Security
Since we collect no personal data, there is minimal security risk. The anonymous analytics data is stored securely by Fathom Analytics with industry-standard encryption. We do not maintain any databases with user information.
Children's Privacy
PortableSolaPrices.com does not knowingly collect any information from children under 13. Our service is intended for adults researching portable solar generators and power stations. No registration or account creation is required, so we have no mechanism to verify user age.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy periodically. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Since we collect minimal data, changes are unlikely to be significant. We recommend reviewing this policy occasionally to stay informed.
Your Rights
Since we collect no personally identifiable information, there is no personal data to access, modify, or delete. If you'd like to opt out of anonymous analytics, you can:
- Disable cookies in your browser settings
- Use browser privacy extensions that block analytics scripts
- Enable "Do Not Track" in your browser (though not all services honor this)
Contact
If you have questions or concerns about this privacy policy, we're working on adding a contact mechanism. For now, this policy reflects our commitment to minimal data collection and maximum user privacy.
