Privacy Policy
What we collect, why we collect it, and how to opt out.
Last updated: January 15, 2026
Ergo Brief (“we,” “our,” “us”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit ergobrief.com, why we collect it, and the choices you have over how it’s used.
Information we collect
We collect two broad categories of information: information you give us voluntarily, and information that’s collected automatically when you browse the site.
Information you provide: When you contact us by email or submit a comment, we receive the name, email address, and any other details you choose to share. We only use this information to respond to you and to manage the comment section.
Information collected automatically: Like most websites, ergobrief.com automatically records standard information such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, and the date and time of your visit. This is used to understand traffic patterns and improve the site.
Cookies and tracking
We use cookies — small text files stored in your browser — to remember your preferences, measure site traffic, and track the performance of affiliate links. Most browsers let you disable cookies through their settings; doing so won’t break the site, though some features may behave differently.
Third-party services we use
- Google Analytics — for aggregated, anonymized traffic data. We do not link analytics data to individual identities.
- Amazon Associates and other affiliate networks — these services may set their own cookies to track referrals from our site. Their use is governed by their respective privacy policies.
- Email service providers — if you choose to subscribe to our newsletter in the future, your email will be stored with our email provider strictly for delivering our content.
How we use your information
We use the data we collect to respond to messages, improve content and user experience, monitor for spam and abuse, comply with legal obligations, and understand which guides and reviews readers find most useful. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
Your rights and choices
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or export the personal data we hold about you, and to object to certain types of processing. To exercise any of these rights, email us and we’ll respond within a reasonable timeframe.
Children’s privacy
Our site is not directed at children under 13. We don’t knowingly collect personal information from anyone under that age. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact us and we’ll delete it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. When we do, we’ll update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Material changes will be communicated more prominently.
