Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Perfect Pour Guide ("we," "us," or "the site") collects, uses, and shares information when you visit perfectpourguide.com (the "Site"). By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.

1. Information we collect

Information you provide directly

When you submit our contact form or subscribe to our newsletter, we collect the information you enter, such as your name, email address, and message content. We use this information solely to respond to your inquiry or to send you the newsletter content you signed up for.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, the Site may automatically log standard technical information when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, and referring URLs. This is typically collected through server logs and analytics tools such as Google Analytics.

Cookies and similar technologies

The Site may use cookies and similar technologies to remember your preferences, understand how visitors use the Site, and serve relevant advertising. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling cookies may affect how parts of the Site function.

2. Advertising

The Site may display advertisements served by third-party advertising networks, such as Google AdSense. These networks may use cookies or similar technologies to collect information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services that may interest you. We do not control the content or targeting practices of third-party ad networks. You can learn more about how Google uses data and opt out of personalized advertising at Google's Ads Policy page.

3. Affiliate disclosure

Perfect Pour Guide participates in affiliate marketing programs, which means we may earn a commission on qualifying purchases made through links on this Site, at no additional cost to you. Products are selected and reviewed independently of any affiliate relationship, and affiliate participation never determines what we recommend. Wherever affiliate links appear in an article, the article carries a visible disclosure.

4. Newsletter

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we use your email address only to send the content you signed up for. We do not sell or rent your email address to third parties. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link included in every email.

5. How we use information

• To respond to messages sent through our contact form
• To send newsletter content to subscribers who opted in
• To understand aggregate visitor behavior and improve our content
• To serve and measure advertising, where applicable

6. Sharing of information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf (such as email delivery, form processing, hosting, or analytics), and with advertising partners as described above. We may also disclose information if required by law.

7. Data retention

We retain contact form submissions and newsletter subscriber information for as long as needed to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, or until you ask us to delete it.

8. Your choices

• You can opt out of the newsletter at any time via the unsubscribe link in any email.
• You can disable cookies through your browser settings.
• You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information we hold about you by contacting us.
