Privacy Policy

Effective Date: January 1, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how BuildPCStack.com ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you visit our website at buildpcstack.com. Please read this policy carefully. By using our site, you agree to the practices described here.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information in two ways: information you provide to us directly, and information collected automatically when you visit our site.

Information you provide: If you contact us via email at contact@buildpcstack.com, we receive your name and email address, along with the contents of your message. We do not operate a mailing list or require any account registration.

Information collected automatically: When you visit BuildPCStack.com, our hosting infrastructure and analytics tools may automatically collect certain technical information, including:

• Your IP address (anonymized where possible)
• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• Pages visited and time spent on each page
• Referring website (the page that linked you here)
• Date and time of your visit

This information is used solely to understand how visitors use our site so we can improve our content and user experience. We do not sell or share this data with third parties for marketing purposes.

2. Cookies

BuildPCStack.com uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — to improve your browsing experience. Specifically:

• Analytics cookies: We may use Google Analytics or a privacy-focused alternative to collect anonymized usage data. These cookies help us understand which articles are most useful and how visitors navigate the site.
• Affiliate cookies: When you click on an Amazon affiliate link, Amazon places cookies on your device to track any purchase you make within a defined window. This is governed entirely by Amazon's own privacy policy and cookie practices, which you can review at amazon.com/privacy.
• No advertising cookies: We do not run advertising networks or serve display ads. We do not place retargeting or behavioral advertising cookies.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling cookies may affect some functionality on third-party sites linked from ours, including Amazon.

3. Amazon Affiliate Disclosure

This means that when you click on product links on this site and subsequently make a purchase on Amazon, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. This commission helps fund the research and writing that goes into our guides.

Our editorial recommendations are made independently of affiliate relationships. We only link to products we genuinely believe provide good value for our readers. Affiliate compensation does not influence which products we feature, rank, or recommend. We will never recommend an inferior product simply because it pays a higher commission.

4. Third-Party Links

Our site contains links to external websites, including Amazon.com, manufacturer websites, and other PC building resources. When you click on these links, you leave BuildPCStack.com and are subject to the privacy policies of those external sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of any third-party website.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any site you visit, especially before making a purchase or providing personal information.

5. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Operate and improve the BuildPCStack.com website
• Understand which content is most useful to our readers
• Respond to emails and questions sent to our contact address
• Diagnose technical problems and ensure site performance

We do not use your information to send unsolicited marketing emails, sell it to data brokers, or share it with advertisers.

6. Data Retention

Web server logs containing technical access data are typically retained for 30–90 days for security and diagnostic purposes, after which they are deleted. Email correspondence is retained only as long as necessary to resolve the matter you contacted us about.

7. Children's Privacy

BuildPCStack.com is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child, please contact us immediately at contact@buildpcstack.com and we will delete it promptly.

8. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights regarding personal information we hold about you. These may include the right to access, correct, or delete your data. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at contact@buildpcstack.com with a description of your request.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we do, we will revise the effective date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of our site after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
