Privacy Policy

1. What Information We Collect

Information You Provide to Us

• Contact information: such as your name and email address if you subscribe to updates, submit a form, or contact us.
• Messages and submissions: information you include when you email us, leave comments (if enabled), respond to surveys, or submit other content.

Information Collected Automatically

• Device and usage data: IP address, browser type, device identifiers, operating system, pages viewed, links clicked, time spent on pages, referring/exit pages, and approximate location derived from IP address.
• Log data: server logs and diagnostic data used for security, performance monitoring, and troubleshooting.

Information From Third Parties

• Analytics and advertising partners: may provide us with aggregated or event-based data about site traffic and ad performance (for example, which pages are visited or which ads are clicked).
• Affiliate partners: may provide data that helps us attribute referrals and commissions (for example, that a user clicked an affiliate link or completed a purchase with a partner).

We may combine information we receive from you with information collected automatically or from third parties, where permitted by law.

2. Cookies, Analytics, and Advertising Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies (such as pixels, tags, web beacons, SDKs, and scripts) to operate our site, remember preferences, understand usage, measure performance, and support advertising and affiliate attribution (collectively, "Tracking Technologies").

• Essential cookies: required for basic site functionality and security.
• Analytics cookies: help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve content and user experience.
• Advertising/affiliate cookies: may be used to measure ad effectiveness, limit repetitive ads, and attribute referrals when you click partner links.

You can control cookies through your browser settings and may be able to opt out of certain interest-based advertising via industry opt-out tools provided by platforms and advertising networks. Note that disabling cookies may affect site functionality.

3. How We Use Information

We use information for purposes such as:

• Providing and operating the Services: delivering content, maintaining site functionality, and responding to inquiries.
• Improving and developing the site: analytics, testing, troubleshooting, and content optimization.
• Communications: sending newsletters or updates you request, and responding to messages you send us.
• Security and fraud prevention: protecting the site and users, detecting abuse, and enforcing our policies.
• Advertising and attribution: measuring performance of ads and affiliate links and understanding which content is most helpful to readers.
• Legal compliance: complying with applicable laws, regulations, and lawful requests.

4. Affiliate Disclosure

Some links on our site may be "affiliate links." This means we may earn a commission if you click a link and make a purchase or take another qualifying action with a third party. This does not change the price you pay, and it helps support our work. We strive to present information fairly and transparently, but we encourage you to do your own research before making any decision.

5. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information in the traditional sense. We may share information in the following circumstances:

• Service providers: vendors who help us host the site, send emails, analyze site performance, prevent fraud, or provide other operational services (they are permitted to use information only to perform services for us).
• Analytics and advertising partners: to measure traffic, ad delivery, and performance (often using cookies or similar technologies).
• Affiliate and marketing partners: to attribute referrals when you click a partner link and to measure conversions.
• Legal and safety reasons: if required by law or if we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, users, or the public (for example, responding to a subpoena or preventing fraud).
• Business transfers: if we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

6. Your Choices and Rights

Email Preferences

If you subscribe to our emails, you can unsubscribe at any time using the link in our messages. Even if you unsubscribe from marketing emails, we may still send non-promotional messages if needed (for example, important policy updates).

Cookies and Interest-Based Advertising

You can adjust cookie settings in your browser and may be able to opt out of interest-based advertising through device settings or opt-out tools offered by advertising platforms and networks.

Access, Deletion, and Other Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of certain personal information we maintain about you. You may also have the right to object to or restrict certain processing in some jurisdictions.

To submit a request, contact us at hello@preciousmetalsreport.com. We may need to verify your request before completing it, and some information may be retained as required or permitted by law.

7. Data Retention

We retain information for as long as necessary to provide the Services, maintain business records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and protect the security and integrity of the site. Retention periods vary depending on the type of information and why we collected it.

8. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Children's Privacy

Our Services are not directed to children under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, please contact us at hello@preciousmetalsreport.com and we will take appropriate steps.

10. Third-Party Links

Our site may link to third-party websites, tools, or services. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing information to them.

11. International Transfers

If you access our Services from outside the United States, your information may be processed and stored in the United States or other jurisdictions where our service providers operate. Data protection laws may differ from those in your location.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date above. Your continued use of the Services after changes become effective means you accept the updated policy.
