Privacy Policy
HotAirTag is designed to respect your privacy. We do not use cookies, collect personal data, or require user accounts. This page explains what (very little) data processing occurs when you visit our site.
What We Collect
Short answer: almost nothing. HotAirTag does not collect email addresses, names, payment information, or any other personally identifiable information. There are no user accounts, login forms, comment sections, or newsletter signups on this site.
Analytics: Fathom Analytics
We use Fathom Analytics to understand how visitors use our site — things like which pages are popular and where traffic comes from. Fathom is a privacy-focused analytics service that:
- Does not use cookies
- Does not collect personal data or IP addresses
- Does not track individuals across sites
- Is compliant with GDPR, CCPA, ePrivacy, and PECR without requiring cookie consent banners
Fathom aggregates anonymous page view data only. You can read more about their approach at Fathom's compliance page.
Affiliate Links and Amazon Cookies
Some articles contain affiliate links to Amazon.com and other retailers. When you click an affiliate link, the retailer (not HotAirTag) may set cookies on your device to track the referral. These cookies are governed by the retailer's own privacy policy.
We participate in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. Amazon's cookies and data collection are subject to the Amazon Privacy Notice. HotAirTag does not have access to any data Amazon collects about you.
External Links
Our articles link to third-party websites such as Amazon, Apple, and other product manufacturers. Once you leave HotAirTag, you are subject to that site's privacy policy. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external websites.
No Cookies from HotAirTag
HotAirTag itself sets zero cookies. Your theme preference (light/dark mode) is stored in your browser's local storage, which stays on your device and is never transmitted to any server.
Children's Privacy
HotAirTag is a general-audience product review site. We do not knowingly collect any information from children under 13. Since we collect no personal data from any visitor, no special provisions are needed.
GDPR and CCPA Compliance
Because HotAirTag collects no personal data and uses cookieless analytics, we are compliant with:
- GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) — No personal data is processed or stored
- CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act) — No personal information is sold or shared
- ePrivacy Directive — No cookies are set by our site
There is nothing to opt out of, and no cookie consent banner is necessary.
YouTube API Services
HotAirTag publishes original video content to its own YouTube channel using the YouTube API Services. We use these services solely to upload and manage videos we created ourselves. We do not request, access, collect, or store any personal data, viewing history, subscriptions, or account information belonging to you or any other YouTube user.
Our use of the YouTube API Services is subject to the YouTube Terms of Service, and any data handled by Google in connection with those services is governed by the Google Privacy Policy.
Because we collect no YouTube user data, there is nothing stored about you for us to delete. If you have ever granted an application access to your Google or YouTube account, you can review and revoke that access at any time through Google's security settings page.
Changes to This Policy
If we change our privacy practices, we will update this page and revise the date below. Since we collect virtually no data, changes are unlikely to be significant.
