If you have questions about this policy, contact us at support@digitaltoolzone.com.

2. Information We Collect
2.1 Information You Provide Directly
When you contact us via email or through a contact form on the Site, we collect the information you choose to provide — such as your name, email address, and the content of your message. We use this information only to respond to your enquiry.
2.2 Information Collected Automatically
When you visit the Site, certain information is collected automatically through cookies and analytics tools. This includes:
- Your IP address (anonymised)
- Browser type and version
- Device type (desktop, tablet, or mobile)
- Operating system
- Pages visited and time spent on each page
- Referring website (the site that linked you to us)
- Country or region (not precise location)
This data is collected in aggregate and used to understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve our content and user experience. It is not used to identify you personally.
3. Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. We use the following types of cookies:
3.1 Essential Cookies
These are required for the Site to function correctly. They cannot be disabled without affecting site functionality.
3.2 Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics via Google Site Kit)
We use Google Analytics, integrated through Google Site Kit, to collect anonymised data about how visitors use the Site. This helps us understand which content is most useful, where visitors come from, and how to improve the Site. Google Analytics sets cookies on your device to track sessions and interactions. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking at any time using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
3.3 Affiliate Tracking Cookies
Some links on this Site are affiliate links. When you click an affiliate link, the company we are affiliated with (such as Hostinger or Bluehost) may set a cookie on your device to track whether you make a purchase. This allows them to attribute the referral to Digital Tool Zone and pay us a commission. These cookies are set by third-party companies and are governed by their own privacy policies, not ours.
3.4 Managing Cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse new cookies, delete existing cookies, or be notified when new cookies are set. Disabling cookies may affect some parts of the Site’s functionality. For guidance on managing cookies in your browser, visit aboutcookies.org.
4. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Respond to your enquiries and messages
- Improve the content, structure, and performance of the Site
- Understand how visitors navigate the Site through anonymised analytics
- Monitor and maintain the security and integrity of the Site
- Comply with applicable laws and regulations
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes.
5. Affiliate Disclosure and Third-Party Links
Digital Tool Zone participates in affiliate programmes. This means we earn a commission when you click an affiliate link on our Site and make a qualifying purchase. Affiliate relationships do not affect our editorial ratings, recommendations, or content. We only recommend tools we have genuinely researched and believe deliver real value.
Our Site contains links to third-party websites, including the products and services we review. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those websites. When you click a link to a third-party site, their privacy policy governs any data they collect — not ours. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of any site you visit.
6. Data Retention
We retain contact form submissions and email correspondence for as long as necessary to respond to and resolve your enquiry, and for a reasonable period thereafter in case of follow-up. Analytics data is retained according to Google Analytics default settings (26 months unless adjusted).
You may request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us at support@digitaltoolzone.com.
