Who runs this site

TheTechHype (thetechhype.com) is run by me, Daniel Reed. If you need to contact me about privacy or your data, please use the contact page or email me at [email protected].

The short version

  • You can read articles on TheTechHype without creating an account.
  • If you sign up for email updates or free membership, Ghost stores your email address so it can send posts to you.
  • You can unsubscribe from emails at any time, and you can ask me to delete your email address.
  • Ghost uses a small cookie for signed-in members, but no cookies are needed just to read articles.
  • Some pages may include affiliate links. If you click one, the retailer may set its own cookie under its own privacy policy.
  • The site may show ads from third-party ad networks that can use cookies. You can limit these through your browser settings.
  • The site host keeps standard server logs such as IP address and browser information for security.

Newsletter and free membership

If you sign up for the newsletter or free membership, this site uses Ghost to store your email address and send you posts from TheTechHype. That is the reason the email address is collected. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in the email. If you want your email address deleted, email me at [email protected].

Cookies

TheTechHype runs on Ghost. Ghost uses a small cookie for signed-in members so the site can recognize them. You do not need cookies to simply read articles on this site.

Some articles may include affiliate links. If you click one, the retailer may set its own cookie or use similar tracking under its own privacy policy. You can read more on the affiliate disclosure page.

Advertising

The site may show ads from third-party advertising networks. Those networks may use cookies. If you want to limit or block them, you can usually do that through your browser settings.

Server logs

Like most websites, the site host keeps standard access logs. These can include information such as IP address, browser, and basic request details, mainly for security and site reliability.

Your data, your control

If you want to ask what data I have about you, or you want it deleted, contact me at [email protected] or use the contact page.

Changes to this policy
