Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 28, 2026. This policy explains what data we collect and how we use it — in plain English, not legal jargon.

Information We Collect

Solar Power Guides is a static website. We don't have user accounts, databases, or login systems. The data we collect is limited to what's described below.

Analytics Data

We use Vercel Web Analytics to understand how visitors use the site — which pages are popular, how long people stay, and where traffic comes from. Vercel Analytics is privacy-focused and does not use cookies or track individual users across sessions. It collects aggregate data only: page views, referrer information, browser type, and country-level location.

Email Addresses

We do not currently collect email addresses. If we add an email newsletter in the future, this policy will be updated.

Server Logs

Our hosting provider (Vercel) automatically collects standard web server logs — IP addresses, timestamps, requested URLs, and HTTP status codes. These logs are used for security monitoring and debugging and are retained according to Vercel's data retention policies.

How We Use Information

  • Site improvement: Analytics data helps us understand which content is most useful so we can prioritize updates and new reviews.
  • Email communication: If you subscribe, we send solar generator reviews, comparison updates, and buying guides. No spam, no third-party promotions.
  • Security: Server logs help us identify and prevent abuse.

We do not sell your personal information. We do not run display advertising. We do not use your data for targeted advertising.

Third-Party Services

The following services may process data when you use this site:

Amazon Associates

Solar Power Guides participates in the Amazon Associates affiliate program. When you click an affiliate link to Amazon, Amazon sets its own cookies to track the referral. Amazon's use of cookies and data is governed by Amazon's Privacy Notice. We do not receive any personal information about your Amazon purchases — only aggregate commission data.

Vercel

Our site is hosted on Vercel. Vercel processes requests, serves pages, and collects analytics data as described above. See Vercel's Privacy Policy.

Cookies

This site uses minimal cookies:

  • Theme preference: A localStorage entry (not a cookie) remembers your dark/light mode choice.
  • Amazon affiliate cookies: Set by Amazon when you click an affiliate link — used to attribute purchases to our referral.

We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or cross-site tracking of any kind.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access: Request a copy of any personal data we hold about you.
  • Deletion: Request deletion of your data. For email subscribers, unsubscribing automatically removes your email from our list.
  • Opt out: You can opt out of analytics tracking using browser privacy settings, ad blockers, or the Google Analytics Opt-out Add-on.
