This policy explains what information Sarmguide (sarmguide.com) collects, why, where it is kept and what choices you have. The short version: we use Google Analytics 4 to count visits, we keep your email address only if you sign up for our newsletter, and we never sell or rent personal data.
Analytics (Google Analytics 4)
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand which pages are read and how people find them. It records things like the pages you view, the site that sent you, your device and browser type, your approximate location (country or city level) and clicks on partner links. Google Analytics uses cookies to tell visits apart.
We use these statistics only to improve the site. We don’t use them to identify you. You can block analytics cookies in your browser settings or with Google’s opt-out browser add-on. How Google handles this data is explained in How Google uses information from sites that use its services.
Newsletter sign-ups
If you sign up for email updates, we store:
- your email address;
- the page and form you signed up from, and a topic you chose, if any;
- the date and time of the sign-up;
- a one-way scrambled (hashed) version of your IP address, used only to stop automated spam sign-ups.
This is stored in this website’s own database. It is not shared with advertisers or sold. If we later use an email service to send the newsletter, we will name it on this page before any addresses are moved to it. Every email will include a way to unsubscribe.
Emails you send us
If you email us, we keep your message and address only to reply and to fix any error you report.
Server logs
Like every website, our hosting servers keep short-lived technical logs (IP address, browser, the page requested and the time) for security and troubleshooting.
Cookies
Sarmguide itself doesn’t set advertising or tracking cookies for readers. Cookies on the site come from Google Analytics (above) and, on pages that embed a YouTube video, from YouTube when the video loads or plays. Logged-in editors also get WordPress login cookies. Comments are switched off, so we collect no comment data.
Partner links
When you follow a partner link, the shop sees a referral tag in the link and handles your visit and any order under its own privacy policy. We don’t receive your name, address or payment details from the shop.
What we never do
- Sell or rent personal data.
- Run third-party advertising networks on the site.
- Use your email address for anything other than the newsletter you signed up for.
Your choices
- Unsubscribe at any time with the link in any email, or by emailing us.
- Ask to see or delete the information we hold about you by emailing info@sarmguide.com. We will answer within 30 days.
Age
Sarmguide is written for adults and is not intended for anyone under 18. We don’t knowingly collect data from children; if you think a child has signed up, email us and we will delete the address.
Changes
If this policy changes, we update this page and the date at the top.
