Privacy Policy

Your privacy matters. This policy explains what BaseTech collects, why, and the choices you have. We deliberately collect as little as possible.

1. What we collect

  • Account information (optional): your name, email address, and a securely hashed password if you create an account.
  • Favorites: products you save. Stored on your device when logged out, and on your account when logged in.
  • Anonymized analytics: product views and referral clicks, along with a one-way hashed identifier, referrer and page path. We use these to understand which products are useful.
  • Contact-form data: the name, email, subject and message you submit, plus a hashed identifier used for spam prevention.

2. What we do NOT store

We do not store raw IP addresses. Where we need to identify a request for rate-limiting or analytics, we hash it with a non-reversible function before storing. We do not run third-party advertising or cross-site tracking scripts.

3. Cookies & local storage

We use a session cookie to keep you signed in when you choose to log in. We use your browser's local storage to remember your theme preference and your favorites when you're not logged in. These are essential to core functionality and are not used for advertising.

4. Referral destinations

When you follow a product link, you are taken to a third-party website. Those sites have their own privacy policies and data practices, which we do not control. We encourage you to review them. The referral link may pass a standard affiliate identifier so the retailer can attribute the visit.

5. How we use your data

  • to provide core features like favorites and accounts;
  • to understand which products are viewed and clicked, in aggregate;
  • to respond to messages you send us;
  • to protect the Service from abuse and spam.

We never sell your personal data.

6. Data retention

Account data is kept for as long as your account exists. Anonymized analytics events are retained to power historical trends. Contact messages are retained until handled and periodically cleared. You can ask us to delete your account and associated personal data at any time.

7. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete the personal data we hold about you, and to object to certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below and we'll respond promptly.

8. Children

BaseTech is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal data.

9. Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The “last updated” date above reflects the latest revision.
