Affiliate Sales (Discount Codes)
We have a simple affiliate system where we track referrals via the use of discount codes. This means that if you use a discount code that you received from elsewhere, this information will be recorded, thus associating your transaction with the source of that code.
Affiliate Links
We are affiliates of several sites such as Amazon & The Home Depot. When you click one of our affiliate links, the target site is provided with data indicating that you arrived to it through our link. This information is then used to credit us with having sent you to that site, and may result in commission revenue for us if you complete a purchase there.
Newsletter
If you sign up for our newsletter, we collect the email address you provide. Once a newsletter has been sent out, statistical information is gathered by our newsletter software for the purpose of performance analysis. This includes whether or not you opened a newsletter email, clicked on something within the email, and other data such as what country your interaction originated from. Our newsletter software is called Sendy and their privacy policy can be found HERE
