Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

Home Audio Guru collects information in a few limited ways:

• Information you provide directly — such as your name and email address when you contact us through our contact form or by email.
• Automatically collected information — including your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and time spent on the site, gathered through standard web server logs and analytics tools.
• Cookie data — small files stored on your device that help the site function and help us understand how visitors use it.

We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information such as financial account numbers, government ID numbers, or health records.

2. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to questions, corrections, and suggestions submitted through our contact form or by email
• Understand which content is useful to readers, so we can improve and update it
• Maintain the security and proper functioning of the site
• Measure the performance of the site in aggregate, non-identifying ways

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it to send unsolicited marketing.

3. Cookies & Tracking

Like most websites, Home Audio Guru uses cookies — small text files placed on your device — to support basic site functionality and to understand how visitors use the site. Cookies may be set by us directly or by third-party services we use, such as analytics or advertising partners.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect how some parts of the site function, but the site will remain accessible.

4. Analytics

We use analytics tools to understand aggregate traffic patterns — for example, which articles are read most, how visitors arrive at the site, and general geographic and device trends. This data is used in aggregate and is not used to identify individual visitors personally.

5. Affiliate Disclosure

6. Third-Party Links

Our site contains links to third-party websites, including retailers and manufacturers. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these external sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any site you visit after leaving ours.

7. Data Sharing

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share limited information with:

• Service providers who help operate the site, such as hosting and analytics providers, under obligations to protect your data
• Amazon and other affiliate partners, solely for the purpose of tracking qualifying purchases made through our affiliate links
• Legal authorities, if required to do so by law or to protect our rights

8. Your Choices

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser at any time. If you’d like to know what personal information we hold about you, or would like it corrected or deleted, contact us using the details below and we’ll respond as promptly as we can.

9. Children’s Privacy

Home Audio Guru is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
