Information we collect
Anonymous click counts
When you click a retailer link, your browser tells us which product was clicked and on which page. We store only a daily total for that product and page. This count isn’t connected to you, your IP address or a cookie.
Server logs
Like most websites, our hosting provider automatically records technical requests, which can include your IP address, browser type, the page requested and the time. These logs are used to keep the site secure and working.
Messages you send us
If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you write. We use it to reply and keep it only as long as we need it for that purpose or to meet legal obligations.
Search
As you type in the site search, your letters are sent to our server to fetch suggestions and show your results. We don’t save them to a profile, though they can appear in the server logs described above.
Cookies
This site doesn’t set cookies for ordinary visitors. Staff who sign in to manage the site receive login cookies. A retailer you visit through our links may set its own cookies on its own site, including cookies that show the purchase came through our link.
Third parties
Amazon and other retailers
OASTHAR is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. Product images may load directly from Amazon’s servers, which means Amazon can receive your IP address and basic browser information when you view a page containing them. When you follow a link to a retailer, that retailer’s privacy policy applies.
YouTube
On pages with a video, the preview image loads from YouTube’s servers, so Google can receive your IP address and basic browser information when you view that part of the page. The video player itself doesn’t load until you choose to play it. Once you do, YouTube can receive more information about your visit, under Google’s privacy policy. We use YouTube’s privacy-enhanced embed.
Linked reviews
We link to reviews on other publishers’ websites. Those sites control their own privacy practices.
Service providers
We use a hosting provider to run this site. It processes data on our behalf only as needed to provide that service.
How we use information, and our legal bases
We use the information above to run and secure the site, understand which guides are useful, and answer messages. Where laws like the GDPR or UK GDPR apply, our legal bases are our legitimate interests in operating and securing the site, and, for messages you send us, responding to your request.
Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete your personal information, to object to or restrict how it’s used, to receive a copy of it, and to complain to your local data protection authority. California residents have similar rights under the CCPA, including the right to know what we collect and the right not to be discriminated against for using these rights. We don’t sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
To make a request, email [email protected]. We may need to confirm your identity before acting on it.
Keeping information safe
The site uses encrypted connections and limits who can access its systems. No system is perfectly secure, so we can’t guarantee absolute security.
International visitors
Our service providers may process information in countries other than the one where you live, and those countries’ data protection laws may differ from yours.
Children
This site is for a general audience and isn’t directed at children under 13. We don’t knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we’ll delete it.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we’ll update it here and change the date at the top of the page.
