Privacy Policy
The Tool Bandit ("we") keeps this simple: we collect as little as possible, and we never sell your information.
Information we collect
- Email address: only if you sign up for deal alerts. Used solely to send you the alerts you asked for. Deal-alert emails are sent through Kit (formerly ConvertKit).
- Basic analytics: we use privacy-friendly analytics (Cloudflare Web Analytics) to see aggregate page views and which deals get attention. This does not use third-party tracking cookies and does not identify you personally.
- Session analytics: we use Microsoft Clarity to understand how visitors use the site (for example, which parts of a page get viewed or clicked). Clarity may record anonymized session data such as mouse movements, scrolling, and clicks. It does not collect your name, email address, or other personal details, and text you type into forms is masked.
How we use it
- To send deal-alert emails you requested (unsubscribe anytime via the link in any email).
- To understand which deals readers find useful, so we can surface better ones.
What we don't do
- We do not sell, rent, or share your email address or any personal information with third parties for marketing.
- We do not run third-party ad trackers.
Affiliate links and retailers
When you click a "View deal" link, you leave The Tool Bandit and go to the retailer's website. That retailer's own privacy policy then applies to anything you do there. Our affiliate partners may use cookies to attribute the referral. That's how we get credited for the commission described in our affiliate disclosure.
Data retention and your rights
We keep your email address only as long as you're subscribed to alerts. You can ask us to delete it at any time by emailing [email protected]. We'll remove it promptly.
Children
The Tool Bandit is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
Changes
If this policy changes materially, we'll update the "last updated" date above.
