Privacy Policy

Articles of Design ("we", "us", or "the site") is an editorial web hosting benchmark and review platform. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal data you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Information you provide: if you register an account or contact us, we may collect your name and email address.

Information collected automatically: when you visit the site we automatically collect IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, time spent, referring URLs, and similar usage data.

Affiliate click data: when you click a hosting link, the destination provider or affiliate network may log that referral.

We use collected information to operate and maintain the site, analyze and improve our editorial content, deliver and track affiliate referrals, respond to inquiries, prevent abuse, and comply with legal obligations.

We use essential cookies required for the site to function and optional analytics cookies to understand usage. You can manage your cookie preferences using the consent banner shown on your first visit, or adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Note that blocking cookies may affect site functionality.

California residents have the right to know what personal information we collect, request deletion of their data, correct inaccurate data, and opt out of the sale or sharing of their personal information. We do not sell personal information. To exercise any of these rights, contact Articles of Design support through the channels available on this site.

We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy or as required by law. Account data is kept until you request deletion.

We rely on third parties for hosting, analytics, and affiliate tracking. These providers may receive limited data (such as IP address or click referrals) and process it under their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third parties.

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

The site is not directed to individuals under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have collected such data, contact us and we will delete it.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
