Privacy Policy

Effective date: November 10, 2026

This policy explains how information is handled when you visit kitchentoolpicks.com (the “Site”). The Site is run by the Kitchen Tool Picks site owner, based in Vietnam (“Kitchen Tool Picks,” “we,” “our”). There are no user accounts, no shop and no payment pages here, so we handle very little personal information.

What you send us

If you email us or leave a comment, we receive whatever you include, usually your name, email address and message. Comment tools also record your IP address and browser details to help block spam.

What is collected automatically

Our servers and the services listed below record technical information about each visit, such as IP address, browser and device type, the pages you open, the page that sent you here and the time of your visit.

Cookies and similar tools

  • Essential cookies keep the Site running and help protect it from abuse.
  • Google Analytics 4 sets cookies so we can see, in aggregate, which pages people read and how they arrived. You can opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. Google explains its practices in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
  • Microsoft Clarity captures clicks, scrolling and mouse movement in pseudonymous form so we can find layouts that confuse readers. Text you type into forms is masked. See the Microsoft Privacy Statement.
  • Google Ads measurement: if you arrive from one of our Google ads, Google may use cookies to tell us, in aggregate, whether the ad led to a visit or a click toward a product. You can manage ad personalization in your Google ad settings.
  • Display advertising: the Site does not show third-party display ads. We will update this policy before that changes.

Amazon affiliate links

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

When you click through to Amazon.com you leave the Site, and Amazon may set cookies that credit the visit to us. What Amazon reports back to us is summary data, such as the number of clicks and items ordered. It does not include your name, address, payment details or a record of what you personally bought. Amazon’s privacy notice covers anything Amazon collects.

Why we use this information

To operate and protect the Site, reply to messages, check correction requests, filter comment spam, understand which pages are useful, measure whether our ads bring readers to the Site, and comply with the law. We do not make automated decisions about you that have legal or similarly significant effects.

Who we share it with

We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. These providers process data for us:

  • Hosting: a hosting provider in Vietnam
  • Content delivery and security: Cloudflare, Inc., which processes IP addresses and may set security cookies
  • Email: Cloudflare Email Routing, which forwards messages to the owner’s inbox
  • Analytics and ad measurement: Google LLC (Google Analytics 4, Google Ads) and Microsoft Corporation (Microsoft Clarity)

We may also disclose information if the law requires it, if it is needed to protect someone’s safety or our legal rights, or as part of a change in who owns the Site.

How long we keep it

We keep emails for as long as we need them, then for up to 24 months. Published comments remain until removed. Analytics data is kept according to each tool’s retention setting.

Your choices and rights

You can block or delete cookies in your browser, although parts of the Site may not work as intended. Where required by law, we honor a Global Privacy Control signal as a request to opt out of any sale or sharing of personal information.

Depending on where you live, including California and other U.S. states with privacy laws, the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal information we hold and to object to certain processing. Send requests to [email protected]. We will verify the request and reply within the time the law allows, and exercising these rights will not change how we treat you.

Children

The Site is meant for adults and is not directed at children under 13. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

International transfers

Your information may be processed in the United States, in Vietnam and in other countries where our providers work. Data protection laws there may differ from those where you live.

Security

The Site uses HTTPS and a firewall service, and administrative access is limited. No method of protection is perfect.

Other websites

Amazon, manufacturers and the publications we cite follow their own privacy policies, which we do not control.

Changes to this policy

When we update this policy, we change the effective date at the top, and we will flag significant changes on the Site.
