Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 11, 2026
Who We Are
BestBedroomGear (bestbedroomgear.com) is a bedroom product information website that compiles publicly available product specifications and comparisons. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our site.
Information We Collect
Analytics Data
We collect basic, anonymized analytics to understand how visitors use our site:
- Page views — which pages are visited
- Referrer information — how you found our site (search engine, social media, direct)
- User agent — your browser type and operating system
- IP address — hashed with a one-way cryptographic function (SHA-256) for privacy. We never store your actual IP address.
What We Do NOT Collect
- We do not collect names, email addresses, or personal contact information
- We do not require user accounts or registration
- We do not collect payment information
- We do not track you across other websites
Cookies
Our Cookies
We use minimal session cookies for site functionality (e.g., admin login sessions). These are essential cookies and do not track you for advertising purposes.
Third-Party Cookies
We use the following third-party services that may set cookies:
- Google Analytics 4 — for anonymized website traffic analysis. Google's privacy policy applies. You can opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
- Amazon Associates — affiliate links to Amazon.com may set cookies for tracking referrals. Amazon's privacy policy applies to any data collected by Amazon when you click affiliate links.
Affiliate Links
Our site contains affiliate links to Amazon.com. When you click these links, Amazon may collect information about your visit in accordance with their own privacy policy. We receive only aggregated commission data — we never see your personal purchase details, payment information, or Amazon account data.
Data Retention
Anonymized analytics data (page views with hashed IPs) is retained for site improvement purposes. No personally identifiable information is stored.
Data Security
We implement reasonable security measures to protect the data we collect. IP addresses are hashed before storage using SHA-256 cryptographic hashing with a unique salt, making it computationally infeasible to recover the original IP address.
Children's Privacy
Our site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
External Links
Our site contains links to external websites (primarily Amazon.com). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external sites. We encourage you to read their privacy policies.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "last updated" date.
