Privacy Policy.

Short version

We don't run analytics. We don't set cookies from this site. We don't sell or rent any visitor data. We do receive standard server-log information through our hosting provider and CDN (Cloudflare), and we receive emails you choose to send us. That's the entire data picture today.

If we add advertising (Google AdSense) or affiliate links in the future, those third parties will set their own cookies and may collect data — and this policy will be updated to describe what they do, with an updated effective date.

What we collect today

• Standard server logs. When you visit under1kg.com, our edge provider Cloudflare records routine information: IP address, browser user-agent string, referring URL, timestamp, and which pages you requested. This is automatic for any web request and is used to deliver content, prevent abuse, and diagnose problems.
• Email you send to us. If you write to our contact address, we receive your email address and message. We use this to reply or to act on corrections, and we don't add you to any list.

We do not currently collect: names, account registrations, payment information, location data beyond what an IP address reveals, or any data via tracking cookies or analytics pixels. The site has no comments, no forms beyond the contact email link, and no user accounts.

Cookies and similar technologies

under1kg.com itself does not set any first-party cookies for tracking, analytics, advertising, or personalization at the time of writing.

Cloudflare, our CDN and security provider, may set technical cookies (such as __cf_bm for bot management) that are essential to delivering the site safely. These do not identify you individually beyond what's needed for that purpose. See Cloudflare's Privacy Policy for details.

If we add advertising (Google AdSense)

We may in the future enable Google AdSense or another advertising network to display ads on this site. If and when that happens:

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this site or other websites.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to under1kg.com and other sites on the Internet.
• You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings .
• You may opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info .

This policy will be updated with an explicit notice and a new effective date when advertising is actually enabled. Until then, no advertising-related data collection is happening on this site.

If we add affiliate links

We may in the future include affiliate links (e.g., to retailers, manufacturers, or affiliate networks like Impact). When you click an affiliate link, the destination site may set tracking cookies and may share information about your click with us (typically aggregate counts, not your identity).

Per the editorial commitment on our contact page, all affiliate links will be disclosed in plain language in the article they appear in. Editorial decisions remain independent of affiliate relationships.

How we use the information we have

• Server logs are used to deliver content, identify and mitigate abuse, and debug problems. Cloudflare retains them per its own policy.
• Emails you send are used to read and respond, or to investigate and append corrections to articles.
• We do not use any of this information to build profiles, target advertising, or share with third parties for marketing purposes.

Sharing and disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or share visitor data with third parties for marketing or advertising purposes. We may share information when:

• Required by law (subpoena, court order, regulatory request).
• Necessary to protect the security or integrity of the site (e.g., reporting abuse to Cloudflare).
• You direct us to (e.g., forwarding your correction to a manufacturer).

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding the information we hold about you.

• EU / UK (GDPR). You have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal data, and to object to certain processing. Because we don't run accounts or analytics, the personal data we hold about a typical visitor is limited to server logs (held by Cloudflare) and any email you've sent us.
• California (CCPA / CPRA). California residents may request information about personal data collected and request deletion. We do not "sell" personal information as defined under CCPA.
• Other jurisdictions. Similar rights may apply in your jurisdiction. Contact us to exercise any of them.

To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected].

Children

This site is intended for a general adult audience interested in laptops. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or under 16 in the EU). If you believe we have inadvertently received such information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Data security and retention

We rely on industry-standard practices via our hosting and CDN providers (Cloudflare, our LXC host). No system is perfectly secure, but we don't store personally identifiable visitor data beyond standard server logs and inbound email.

Changes to this policy

We will update this policy when our data practices change — most likely when we enable advertising or affiliate features. We will update the effective date at the top of this page and, for material changes, note the change in plain language. We do not silently rewrite this policy; revision history is maintained in the site's source repository.
