- Service providers: Companies that help us run the site (web hosting, email delivery, analytics). These providers are contractually required to protect your information.
- Affiliate partners: When you click a product link, the partner retailer may receive standard referral data (the page you came from, an anonymous click ID). They do not receive your name or email.

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), California residents have additional rights, including the right to know what categories of personal information we collect and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising privacy rights.
For EU & UK Residents
Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR, you have rights including access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and objection to processing.
