Privacy Policy
EcomToolsHub is a free directory. We are committed to being transparent about the limited data we collect and the controls you have. This policy explains what we gather, why, and how to exercise your rights.
Last updated: July 9, 2026
1. Information we collect
We collect data in three categories, and only the minimum needed to operate the site:
- Usage analytics — pages viewed, time on page, and referring site, collected anonymously through privacy-friendly analytics.
- Cookies & preferences —your consent choices and, where you click an affiliate link, a referral cookie set by the partner.
- Voluntary contact — any name, email, or message you send through our contact page or by email.
2. How we use information
We use the data above to maintain and improve the directory, understand which tools readers find useful, respond to your messages, and — only in aggregate — report on site performance. We do not build advertising profiles of individual visitors.
3. Cookies & tracking
Essential cookies keep the site functioning. Analytics and affiliate-attribution cookies are loaded only after you grant consent. You can change or withdraw consent at any time through your browser settings or by clearing cookies.
4. Affiliate links & third parties
Some links are affiliate links. If you purchase through them, a partner may set a cookie and we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Our editorial rankings are never influenced by these relationships — see our Affiliate Disclosure for the full policy.
5. Your rights
Under the GDPR (EU/UK) and CCPA (California), you can request a copy of, correct, or delete your personal data, and opt out of non-essential cookies. To make a request, email privacy@ecomtoolshub.com and we will respond within the timeframes required by law.
Frequently asked questions
What personal data does EcomToolsHub collect?
We collect only what is needed to run the site: anonymous analytics (pages viewed, referring site), cookie preferences, and any details you voluntarily send us through the contact form or email. We do not require accounts or profiles to browse the directory.
Do you sell my data?
No. We never sell personal data. Aggregate, anonymized analytics may be shared with service providers that help us operate the site, but your identity is never part of that data.
How do affiliate links affect my privacy?
When you click an affiliate link and later make a purchase, the partner may attribute that sale to us using a cookie. That is handled by the partner under their own privacy policy; we only receive confirmation of a completed referral, not your personal details.
What are my rights under GDPR and CCPA?
Depending on where you live, you can request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal data we hold, and you can opt out of non-essential cookies at any time. Email privacy@ecomtoolshub.com to exercise these rights.
