Privacy Policy

Last updated:

Digitalfela ("we," "us," or "our") publishes independent software reviews at digitalfela.com (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit the Site, how we use it, and the choices available to you. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.

1. Information we collect

We collect a limited amount of information to operate the Site and understand how it's used:

  • Information you provide directly. If you subscribe to our newsletter, submit a contact form, or leave a comment, we collect the details you enter — typically your name and email address.
  • Usage data. Like most websites, we automatically log standard technical data such as your browser type, device type, general location (city/country level), pages viewed, and time spent on the Site, via analytics tools.
  • Cookies and similar technologies. We use cookies to remember preferences (such as light/dark mode), measure traffic, and — where applicable — track affiliate referrals. See Section 3 below.

We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information such as financial account numbers, government IDs, or health data.

2. How we use your information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Operate, maintain, and improve the Site and its content
  • Send newsletter updates to subscribers who have opted in
  • Respond to questions or messages sent through our contact form
  • Understand aggregate traffic patterns and which reviews are most useful to readers
  • Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, or security issues

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

3. Cookies and analytics

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use them for:

  • Essential functionality — remembering your theme preference and basic site settings.
  • Analytics — understanding overall traffic and engagement, using tools that report aggregated, non-identifying statistics.
  • Affiliate tracking — when you click a link to a product we review, a cookie may be set by that product's affiliate program to attribute the referral to us. This is covered further in Section 4.

Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies through their settings. Doing so may affect some site functionality, such as remembering your display preferences.

4. Affiliate disclosure

Digitalfela is reader-supported. Some links on this Site are affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission if you sign up for or purchase a product through them, at no additional cost to you. Affiliate relationships never influence the scores or conclusions in our reviews — our editorial team tests every product independently before publishing a verdict.

5. Third-party links and services

The Site links to third-party products, tools, and services we review. Once you leave digitalfela.com, that third party's own privacy policy governs how your information is handled — we encourage you to review it. We also rely on third-party service providers (such as analytics and email delivery platforms) to help operate the Site; these providers only receive the data necessary to perform their function.

6. Data retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy — for example, newsletter contact details are kept until you unsubscribe, and analytics data is generally retained in aggregated form.

7. Your rights and choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights under laws such as the GDPR (European Economic Area) or the CCPA/CPRA (California), including the right to:

  • Request access to the personal information we hold about you
  • Request correction or deletion of that information
  • Object to or restrict certain processing
  • Withdraw consent (such as unsubscribing from our newsletter at any time)

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in Section 10.

8. Children's privacy

The Site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal or regulatory reasons. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the Site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

10. Contact us

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or how your information is handled, you can reach us through the contact page.
