Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 27, 2026.

This Privacy Policy explains how Desworthy collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you visit desworthy.com, read our buying guides, click product links, subscribe to updates, or contact us. Desworthy is a home office and affiliate editorial website, not a payment processor or retailer. We do not sell products directly through this site, and we do not collect credit card numbers, shipping addresses for retailer orders, or retailer account passwords.

Information we collect

We may collect information you provide directly, such as your name, email address, message text, correction requests, partnership inquiries, or newsletter signup details. If you contact us at desworthydeal@gmail.com or through a contact form, we use the information you send to reply, investigate the request, keep basic business records, and improve site accuracy.

We may also collect basic device and usage information automatically. This can include pages viewed, approximate location derived from IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referral source, links clicked, date and time of visit, and similar log or analytics data. We use this information to understand which guides are useful, detect broken pages, improve navigation, measure affiliate performance, and protect the site from abuse.

Cookies and similar technologies

Desworthy may use cookies, pixels, local storage, server logs, and similar technologies. Cookies help the site remember preferences, measure traffic, understand article performance, prevent spam, and support affiliate attribution. You can usually block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking cookies may reduce analytics accuracy and may also affect affiliate tracking or embedded third party features.

Google Analytics 4

We may use Google Analytics 4, also called GA4, to measure site usage. GA4 may collect event data such as page views, scroll activity, outbound link clicks, approximate geography, device category, browser, operating system, session source, and engagement time. We use aggregated analytics to decide which topics need clearer explanations, which pages are slow or confusing, and which product categories readers care about. We do not use GA4 to collect payment data or sensitive personal information.

Affiliate cookies and retailer links

When you click an affiliate link, the retailer or affiliate network may place affiliate cookies or use tracking parameters to attribute a purchase or lead. Networks and programs may include Impact, Amazon Associates, CJ Affiliate, direct merchant programs, and similar platforms. Those partners may process click identifiers, retailer page visits, transaction confirmation data, and commission reporting data under their own privacy policies. Desworthy usually receives reporting such as clicks, ordered items or categories, sale amounts, commission amounts, and timing, but not your full payment details.

Newsletter email

If you subscribe to a newsletter, we collect your email address and may collect signup source, confirmation status, open activity, click activity, and unsubscribe status. We use this to send requested updates, deal alerts, buying guide revisions, and administrative notices. You can unsubscribe through the link in any newsletter email. We may use a third party email service provider to process and deliver newsletters, and that provider may store email records on our behalf.

Contact forms and user messages

Messages sent through forms may be checked by spam prevention tools and stored in WordPress, email inboxes, or support tools. Please do not send medical information, financial account information, government identification numbers, passwords, or other sensitive information through the site. Product fit questions are welcome, but we can only provide general buying research.

How we use information

We use information to operate the website, respond to inquiries, maintain security, debug errors, improve editorial quality, measure traffic, evaluate affiliate performance, send newsletters, comply with legal obligations, and document corrections or partnership discussions. We may also use aggregated or deidentified information to understand audience interests and plan future content.

How we share information

We may share information with service providers that help host the website, deliver email, run analytics, prevent spam, process contact forms, maintain backups, or support affiliate reporting. We may share information when required by law, to protect rights and safety, to investigate abuse, or during a business transfer such as a merger or asset sale. We do not sell your personal information for money.

CCPA and U.S. state privacy choices

If you are a California resident or live in a state with similar privacy rights, you may request access to personal information we maintain about you, ask us to delete certain information, correct inaccurate information, or opt out of sale or sharing where those terms apply. To make a CCPA opt-out or privacy request, email desworthydeal@gmail.com with the subject line Privacy Request. We may need to verify your request before taking action.

GDPR and international privacy rights

If you are in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or another region with similar rights, you may have the right to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or objection to certain processing. You may also withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. Send GDPR data requests to desworthydeal@gmail.com with enough detail for us to find the relevant records.

Data retention

We keep information only as long as reasonably needed for the purpose collected, including site operation, legal compliance, dispute resolution, security, analytics history, newsletter records, and business records. Analytics and log data may be retained in aggregated form after direct identifiers are removed or reduced.

Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect information, but no website, email system, analytics platform, or hosting provider can guarantee absolute security. If you believe information sent to Desworthy has been compromised, contact desworthydeal@gmail.com.

Children

Desworthy is intended for adults researching home office products. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child provided information, contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as the site, tools, affiliate relationships, or legal requirements change. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised date.
