1. Who we are

This policy describes how [SITE_NAME] collects, uses, and shares information when you visit
https://pickadviser.org  (the “Site”). For questions, contact
Admin@pickadviser.org.

2. What this policy covers

It applies to information collected through the Site and related email or newsletters we operate.
It does not govern third-party sites (including Amazon.com, Amazon.ca, or advertisers) — those services have their own policies.

3. Information we collect

3.1 You provide directly

• Contact or newsletter forms: such as name and email address, and the content of your message.
• Comments or surveys (if enabled): text you submit and related metadata.

3.2 Collected automatically

• Device and log data: IP address, browser type, general location derived from IP (country/region), pages viewed, referring/exit pages, date/time.
• Cookies and similar technologies: see our Cookie policy.

4. How we use information

• Operate, secure, and improve the Site.
• Respond to inquiries and send newsletters only if you opted in (where applicable).
• Measure readership and content performance (e.g. analytics).
• Comply with law, enforce our terms, and protect rights and safety.

5. Affiliate links and retailers

When you click affiliate links (including to Amazon.com or Amazon.ca), the retailer or affiliate network may set cookies or similar identifiers
to attribute purchases to publishers. We do not control those technologies. See
Affiliate disclosure.

6. Analytics and advertising

We may use analytics tools (for example, privacy-focused or mainstream web analytics) to understand aggregate traffic.
If we use advertising or remarketing pixels, we will describe them here and in the Cookie policy when deployed.

7. Legal bases (EEA/UK visitors)

If you are in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, we rely on appropriate bases such as
legitimate interests (site operation, security, analytics), consent (where required for cookies or marketing),
or contract (where we provide a service you requested), as applicable.

8. Canada (PIPEDA and related provincial laws)

If you are in Canada, we collect, use, and disclose personal information in line with applicable Canadian privacy statutes.
We aim to collect only what is reasonable for the purposes above, keep it accurate, and protect it with appropriate safeguards.
You may request access or correction subject to legal exceptions—contact
amin@pickadviser.org

9. Retention

We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes described, unless a longer period is required by law.
Server logs and analytics may be retained in aggregated or de-identified form.

10. Sharing

We may share information with:

• Service providers who host the Site, send email, or provide analytics (under contractual obligations).
• Legal or safety recipients when required or permitted by law.
• Business transfers if the Site or its assets are sold or reorganized (successor subject to this policy or a successor policy).

We do not sell your personal information for money as a primary business model. If we add “sale/sharing” under U.S. state laws, we will update this section and any required links.

11. Your choices and rights

• Email marketing: use the unsubscribe link in any marketing email we send.
• Cookies: manage via browser settings; see Cookie policy.
• U.S. state privacy rights (where applicable): you may have rights to access, delete, or opt out of certain processing—email
  [CONTACT_EMAIL] with your state and request.
• EEA/UK: you may have rights to access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection; you may lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

12. Children

The Site is not directed to children under 13 (or the age required by your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.
If you believe we have, contact us and we will delete it promptly.

13. International visitors

If you visit from outside the country where our servers or processors are located, your information may be transferred to and processed in
countries that may not provide identical data-protection laws. We use safeguards appropriate to the risk (such as contractual clauses where required).

14. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect information. No method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.

15. Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. We will revise the “Last updated” date and, where appropriate, provide a more prominent notice.
