Privacy policy
Altimateguide respects your privacy and is committed to handling data responsibly and transparently.
This policy explains what information is collected, how it is used, and the choices available to you.
Information we collect
We may collect limited information when you:
- Visit the website
- Submit a form (such as a request for tool inclusion)
- Interact with affiliate links
- Make a payment for a resource product
- Subscribe to email updates
- Arrive via a shared or referral link
The information collected may include:
- Email address
- Tool or company details submitted voluntarily
- Payment-related metadata (processed by third-party providers)
- Basic usage or analytics data
We do not collect unnecessary personal data.
How information is used
Information is used only to:
- Review and process inclusion requests
- Communicate about submissions or payments
- Operate and improve the site
- Maintain security and prevent abuse
We do not sell personal data.
Payments and third-party services
Payments are processed by third-party providers. Altimateguide does not store full payment details such as card numbers.
Third-party services may collect data in accordance with their own privacy policies.
Analytics, advertising, and cookies
We use Vercel Analytics to understand aggregate traffic. It is cookieless and does not identify individual visitors.
Optional tools — Google Analytics, Google Ads, and the Meta Pixel — are loaded only after you opt in through our consent banner. You can accept or reject analytics and marketing separately, and you can change your choice at any time using the Cookie settings link in the footer. Rejecting optional cookies does not affect your ability to use the site.
We do not use session-replay or heatmap recording tools, and we do not sell personal data.
When you arrive from a shared or referral link, we set one first-party
cookie that remembers the referrer and campaign parameters (for example a
ref or utm_source value) so we can credit the
source. It contains no personal details, is not shared or sold, and
expires after 90 days.
Email updates
If you subscribe to updates, we store the email address you provide along with the source and campaign that led to your signup. We use it only to send occasional updates about new comparisons, guides, and tools — never to sell or share your address.
Every update email includes a one-click unsubscribe link. You can also request removal through the contact page at any time.
Affiliate links
Some pages may contain affiliate links. When an affiliate link is used, the third party may collect information according to their own privacy practices.
Affiliate relationships do not affect editorial decisions.
Data retention
Information is retained only as long as necessary to:
- Fulfill editorial review and communication
- Meet legal or operational requirements
You may request deletion of your information where applicable.
Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to:
- Access your data
- Request correction or deletion
- Withdraw consent where applicable
Requests can be made through the contact page.
Children's privacy
Altimateguide is intended for businesses and professional users and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
