Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 9, 2026

The short version

We do not ask you to create an account, we do not run ads, and we do not sell anything directly. We collect no personal information from you, and we have nothing to sell to anyone else.

Analytics

We use Pirsch Analytics to count page views and see which articles people find useful. Pirsch is privacy-focused and cookieless: it does not set cookies, does not track you across other sites, and does not build a profile of you. We see aggregate numbers such as page, country, device type, and referring site. We cannot identify you from any of it.

Affiliate links

Sprout & Press is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. When you click a link to Amazon from this site and buy something, we earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Amazon sets its own cookie when you arrive from our link, and that cookie is governed by Amazon's privacy policy, not ours.

Commission never buys a recommendation. No manufacturer pays to appear here, and no brand sees a review before it publishes.

Cookies

This site sets no cookies of its own.

Content loaded from other services

Some parts of our pages load from other companies' servers. As with any web request, those servers receive basic technical data such as your IP address and browser type.

  • Product photos load from Amazon's image servers.
  • Fonts load from Google Fonts.
  • Free tools that export a PDF load a PDF library from the jsDelivr network.

Hosting

The site is hosted by Vercel. Like any web host, Vercel keeps short-term server logs of requests, including IP address, browser type, the page requested and the time. These logs keep the site running and secure. We do not use them to identify visitors.

Email

If you email us, we keep the message so we can reply and refer back to it. We do not add you to a mailing list, and we do not pass your address to anyone.

Children

This site is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date at the top of this page changes with it.
