Privacy Policy

This policy explains how Grain & Glue (Type 5 Marketing LLC) handles information when you visit grainandglue.com. We keep data collection to the minimum needed to run the site, and we do not sell your personal information.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand, in aggregate, how people use the site — which pages are read, roughly where visitors come from, and whether our guides are helpful. This uses cookies and similar technologies to collect standard, largely anonymized information such as your approximate location, device and browser, and the pages you view. We use it to improve the site, not to identify you personally. You can block these cookies in your browser or with an ad blocker without breaking the site.

Affiliate links and cookies

When you click a link to a retailer such as Amazon, that retailer may place a cookie in your browser so it can attribute a purchase to us and pay the associated commission. This is standard for affiliate programs and is how the site stays free to read. The retailer’s own privacy policy governs what happens once you land on their site. Our affiliate disclosure explains the commercial side in full.

The contact form

If you use our contact formor email us, we receive the name, email address and message you provide. We use that only to read and respond to your message, and to act on corrections. We don’t add you to a marketing list, and we don’t share your message with third parties except the email infrastructure needed to deliver it to us.

What we don’t do

• We don’t sell or rent your personal information.
• We don’t run our own advertising trackers beyond the analytics above.
• We don’t require you to create an account or log in.

Your choices

You can browse the whole site without providing any personal information. You can decline cookies through your browser settings. If you’ve contacted us and want your message and email address deleted from our inbox, email us at info@grainandglue.comand we’ll take care of it.

Children

Grain & Glue is a general-audience site about tools and is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.

Changes and contact

We may update this policy as the site evolves; the “last updated” date above will change when we do. Questions about privacy? Email info@grainandglue.com.
