Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how HypeMetrix, collects, uses, and protects your information. We are committed to a privacy-first approach and collect only the absolute minimum data required to operate our platform.

1. Information We Collect

Our platform is designed to be browsed anonymously. We do not require account registration, and we do not collect personally identifiable information (PII) such as names, phone numbers, or email addresses.

Transient Geographic Data: To display accurate regional pricing and relevant retailer links, we utilize basic network routing data (such as your country of origin) derived from your IP address. This evaluation happens transiently in real-time. Your IP address is never stored, logged, or saved in our databases.

2. Privacy-First Analytics

To understand our website traffic and improve our platform, we use Umami, a privacy-focused analytics tool. Umami does not collect personally identifiable information, does not track users across multiple websites, and operates without using invasive tracking cookies. All traffic data is strictly anonymized and aggregated.

3. Affiliate Links, Cookies, and Third Parties

While our core site minimizes tracking, HypeMetrix is monetized through affiliate partnerships, including the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program.

When you click on an external product link, you are interacting with third-party networks. Please be aware that third parties (including Amazon and other advertisers) may serve content and advertisements, collect information directly from visitors, and place or recognize cookies on visitors' browsers.

These third-party cookies are used solely by the respective networks to attribute referral traffic and measure link conversions. They operate under their own respective privacy policies. You can disable cookies at any time through your web browser's settings.

4. Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed to individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect or maintain personal information from children.
