What data we collect

1) Analytics and usage data

We may collect aggregated usage information (e.g., page views, popular tasks/tools, device type) to improve content and site usability. This data is used in an analytical, non-personal way.

2) Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We may use them for:

• basic site functionality (e.g., security, performance),
• analytics (to understand what content is useful),
• affiliate tracking (when you click outbound affiliate links, if applicable).

3) Task suggestion form and email subscriptions

If you submit a task suggestion via the "Don't see your task?" form, we collect:

• your email address (to notify you when the page is published),
• the task description you submitted.

This data is processed by MailerLite (our email service provider, based in the EU) and stored on their servers. We use it only to send you the notification you requested, and optionally our newsletter if you consent separately.

You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email we send. MailerLite privacy policy: https://www.mailerlite.com/legal/privacy-policy

Affiliate links

Some links on this website may be affiliate links. If you sign up or purchase through them, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This helps maintain the project.

We aim to keep recommendations decision-first: tools are presented as answers to tasks, with free vs paid information where possible.

Third-party services

We may use third-party services for hosting, analytics, and embedded content. These providers may process certain data (like IP address, user agent, cookies) as part of delivering their services.

If you want a provider list, we can add it here once your current stack (analytics/cookie banner) is finalized.

Your choices

• You can control cookies in your browser settings (block/delete cookies).
• You can opt out of some analytics depending on the tool and your browser settings.
• You can stop receiving emails (if we run a newsletter) using the unsubscribe link.

Data retention

We keep data only as long as needed for the purpose it was collected for, or as required by law. Aggregated analytics may be stored longer to understand trends over time.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the website evolves. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the latest revision.
