For the record —
What we store, and why.
The short version
We log when someone clicks an outbound retailer link, so we can tell which recommendations are landing. We don't sell your data, run advertising trackers, or build a profile of you across the web.
What we collect
- Click logs — when you click a price-check button, we record the destination URL, the page you were on, and a timestamp. We do not associate this with a name or email.
- Server logs— Vercel (our hosting provider) keeps standard web-server access logs (IP, user-agent, requested URL) for a short period for security and debugging. These are governed by Vercel's privacy policy.
What we do not collect
- No cross-site tracking pixels, no Facebook pixel, no Google Analytics on the public site
- No accounts, no email collection, no newsletter signup
- No advertising cookies
Third parties
When you click a price-check button, you're sent to a retailer's site. That retailer (Amazon, Whole Latte Love, Clive, etc.) sets its own cookies and runs its own tracking. Their privacy policies apply once you're on their pages.
Deletion / contact
Email editor@wearetheplug.comif you want any logs tied to your IP address purged. We'll do it within a week.
