What we collect
TapWaterSafety is a static informational website. We do not require accounts and do not collect personal identifying information from readers as a normal part of using the site.
When you visit the site, our hosting provider automatically logs standard technical information including your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and timestamps. This is used to detect abuse and produce aggregate traffic statistics. We don’t sell this data.
Analytics
We use a privacy-conscious analytics platform (likely Plausible or similar) to track aggregate pageviews and referrers. The analytics provider does not use cookies, does not track individual users across sites, and does not collect personal information.
Affiliate tracking
When you click an affiliate link on the site, the destination retailer sets a cookie on your browser that attributes any subsequent purchase to TapWaterSafety for commission purposes. This is standard affiliate marketing infrastructure. TapWaterSafety does not see your purchase data, personal information, or shopping behavior beyond the aggregate commission reports the retailers provide.
See our affiliate disclosure for more on how the affiliate program works.
What we don’t do
We don’t sell or share any reader data with third parties beyond what’s required for the affiliate tracking and analytics described above. We don’t display third-party advertising. We don’t use tracking pixels from social media platforms. We don’t have email marketing or push notifications.
Cookies
TapWaterSafety’s own site does not set cookies. Some third-party services we link to (filter retailers) do set cookies for affiliate tracking when you click through. If you want to prevent these, most browsers offer settings to block third-party cookies.
Your rights
Because we don’t store personal data about individual readers, most data-subject rights (access, deletion, correction) don’t apply in a meaningful way to TapWaterSafety directly. For data held by our affiliate partners or analytics provider, contact those providers directly.
If you have specific privacy concerns, please contact us.
