2. Information we collect

We only collect personal information that you choose to provide to us.

Email subscriptions
If you decide to subscribe to our email updates, we collect:

• Your email address

Our email service provider may also automatically receive some technical information needed to deliver emails, such as:

• IP address
• Browser or email client type
• Basic engagement data (for example, whether you opened an email or clicked a link)

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information.

If you just browse ToolStackChoice.com without subscribing, we do not ask you to provide any personal information.

3. How we use your information

We use your email address and related technical data only for the following purposes:

• To send you email updates about new articles, reviews, comparisons, or important changes to the site
• To manage your subscription, including handling unsubscribe requests
• To understand basic engagement with our emails (opens and clicks) so we can improve what we send

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.

4. Email service provider

We use a third-party email service provider to store your email address and send messages to you.

This provider acts as our data processor. They process your information on our behalf and are contractually required to handle it securely and in line with applicable data protection laws.

The email provider may store your data on servers located in other countries. We select reputable providers that implement appropriate security measures.

If we change email providers in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy to reflect that change.

5. Cookies and analytics

At this time, ToolStackChoice.com is focused on simple content and email updates.

• We do not run personalized advertising campaigns.
• We do not use advanced tracking or retargeting pixels.

If we add analytics tools (for example, Google Analytics or similar) or advertising cookies in the future, we will:

• Update this Privacy Policy
• Provide a clear explanation of what is being tracked and for what purpose
• Where required, ask for your consent before setting non-essential cookies

6. Legal bases (for visitors from the EU/UK)

If you access the site from the European Union or the United Kingdom, we rely on the following legal bases to process your personal data:

• Consent — when you choose to subscribe to our email updates, you give us consent to use your email address for that purpose.
• Legitimate interests — we may process limited technical data that our email service provider collects to improve deliverability and understand basic engagement, as long as this does not override your rights and freedoms.

You can withdraw your consent at any time by unsubscribing or contacting us.

7. Data retention

We keep your email address for as long as you remain subscribed to our updates.

We may retain minimal records (for example, proof of consent or unsubscribe actions) for a reasonable period where we need to do so for legal, accounting, or security purposes.

If you unsubscribe, we will stop sending you marketing emails. We may keep your email address on a suppression list to ensure we respect your opt-out request.
