Privacy Policy: Your Data, Our Commitment

We understand that your privacy is paramount. This document outlines the types of data TotallyWantIt.com may collect or process and explains our unwavering commitment to protecting your personal information as you browse our curated finds. Our core belief is transparency. We aim to collect the bare minimum necessary to run our affiliate and advertising operations efficiently and honestly.

1. Information We Collect (And Why)

Since TotallyWantIt.com is purely a product discovery and informational site, we do not require users to register or create accounts. Therefore, we generally do not collect or store personally identifiable information (PII) such as your name, address, or financial details. The data we collect is primarily non-personal:

• Usage Data: Standard information collected by web servers and analytics tools (like Google Analytics) including browser type, device type, language preference, and the pages you visit. This helps us see what products are popular and improve site performance.
• IP Address and Location Data: The IP address of your device is collected by our ad partners and analytics tools. While not PII on its own, it is used to determine your generalized geographic location (e.g., country/region) for legal compliance and delivering geographically relevant ads.
• Cookies and Tracking Technologies: Small data files stored on your device necessary for site functionality, tracking affiliate sales, and delivering personalized third-party advertisements.
• Voluntarily Submitted Personal Information: If you choose to contact us, subscribe to a newsletter, submit comments, or otherwise interact with features of the Site, we may collect personal information such as:
  1. Name
  2. Email address
  3. Any information voluntarily included in your message or submission
  We collect this information solely for the purposes for which it was provided, including responding to inquiries, sending requested communications, or improving our services.
  
  If you subscribe to newsletters, join promotions, contests, or otherwise opt in to receive communications from TotallyWantIt.com, we will collect the personal information you provide (such as your name and email address) to deliver these communications.
  
  You may unsubscribe or opt out at any time using the links provided in these communications or by contacting us directly.

  If you are under 18 or legal age in your jurisdiction, you should use the Site only with the supervision of a parent or guardian. Parents or guardians who believe their child has submitted personal information to us may contact us via our Contact Page, and we will take steps to remove that information promptly.

2. Affiliate and Third-Party Advertising

The Site uses cookies and similar technologies for two primary monetization models: affiliate relationships and third-party advertising.

• Affiliate Tracking: When you click on a link to a third-party retailer, a tracking cookie is placed on your browser to register that you came from TotallyWantIt.com. This allows us to receive a commission if you make a purchase. This tracking data is processed by the retailer and is not stored or controlled by us.
• Third-Party Advertisers (Display Ads): We may use external ad serving technology, such as AD NETWORK [e.g., Google AdSense, Mediavine, etc.], to place banner ads on the Site. These partners use tracking cookies and web beacons to collect non-personal information (like your browsing history across multiple sites) to build interest profiles and serve you targeted, personalized advertisements.
• Data Sharing: By using the Site, you acknowledge that our ad partners collect and process your Usage Data (including IP address and browsing behavior) for the purpose of personalized ad delivery, which is sometimes referred to as the “sale” or “sharing” of data under certain privacy laws.
• You should always review the privacy policies of any third-party retailer or ad network before interacting with their services.
