SakuStack should collect as little personal information as possible. If analytics, newsletters, affiliate tracking, or forms are added later, this policy should be updated before those tools go live.
Scope
This Privacy Policy applies to SakuStack pages, content, reviews, comparisons, forms, and related site features. It does not apply to third-party software vendors, affiliate networks, payment processors, newsletter providers, analytics providers, hosting platforms, or websites we link to.
Information we may collect
Depending on the features enabled, we may collect:
- Contact information you submit, such as an email address.
- Technical information, such as device type, browser, pages viewed, referrer, approximate location, and IP-derived analytics data.
- Interaction information, such as category pages viewed, links clicked, forms submitted, and newsletter preferences.
- Affiliate or referral information, such as click identifiers, campaign parameters, and conversion events provided by affiliate partners.
We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information, payment card data, government identifiers, health information, or account passwords through SakuStack.
How we use information
We may use information to:
- Operate, maintain, secure, and improve the site.
- Understand which categories, reviews, and comparisons are useful.
- Send newsletter updates if you request them.
- Track affiliate referrals, commissions, and campaign performance.
- Prevent fraud, abuse, spam, or misuse of the site.
- Comply with legal, accounting, tax, or platform obligations.
Advertising and Google AdSense
SakuStack may use Google AdSense, Google advertising products, or other advertising partners to display ads. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on a visitor's prior visits to SakuStack or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve ads based on visits to this site and other sites on the internet.
Visitors can opt out of personalized advertising through Google Ads Settings. Visitors can also learn about opting out of some third-party vendors' personalized advertising cookies through aboutads.info.
For visitors in regions where consent is required, advertising, analytics, and non-essential cookies should not be enabled until the required consent has been collected through an appropriate consent mechanism. If SakuStack serves Google ads to users in the EEA, the UK, or Switzerland, we should use a Google-certified Consent Management Platform that supports the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework before real ads are served.
Third-party websites
When you click a vendor, affiliate, or external resource link, you leave SakuStack. Third-party sites control their own privacy practices, cookies, account creation, billing, contracts, support, and security. Review their privacy policies and terms before submitting information or purchasing.
Your choices and rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to, or request a copy of certain personal information. You may also have rights relating to cookie consent, marketing opt-outs, or sale/share opt-outs if applicable.
To make a request, contact us at privacy@sakustack.com. We may need to verify your request before responding. If we do not yet hold personal information about you, we may not be able to fulfill a data-specific request.
Retention and security
We aim to retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer period is required for legal, accounting, tax, fraud prevention, dispute, or operational reasons.
No website, hosting environment, email provider, or analytics tool can be guaranteed completely secure. We use reasonable measures for the current stage of the site, but you use SakuStack and linked third-party services at your own risk.
Children and international visitors
SakuStack is intended for business and software research audiences, not children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided information, contact us and we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
Visitors may access SakuStack from different countries. Your information may be processed where our hosting, analytics, newsletter, affiliate, or service providers operate, subject to applicable law and provider terms.
Policy changes
We may update this Privacy Policy when SakuStack adds analytics, forms, newsletters, affiliate networks, advertising, new vendors, or other features. The updated date above indicates the latest revision.
This privacy policy is a launch-ready draft for a content and affiliate site. It is not legal advice. Review it with counsel before adding production analytics, email marketing, cookies, or real affiliate tracking.
