Privacy policy.

Information processed automatically

Our hosting and security providers may process standard technical information such as IP address, browser and device type, requested pages, timestamps, referrer, and security signals. This information is used to deliver the site, prevent abuse, diagnose errors, and understand aggregate performance.

Cookies, analytics, and advertising

The initial version of this site does not set a first-party account or newsletter cookie. If analytics or advertising services are enabled, they may use cookies or similar technologies to measure visits, prevent fraud, limit repetition, or personalize advertising where permitted.

Before personalized advertising is enabled in a region that requires consent, the site will use an appropriate consent mechanism. Visitors can also control cookies through their browser. Blocking some storage may affect features or advertising preferences.

Affiliate links

When you follow an Amazon affiliate link, Amazon may receive the link’s associate tag and process information under Amazon’s own privacy notices. Garage Field Notes does not receive your Amazon account password, full payment information, or complete order record.

Information you choose to send

If you contact the editorial desk, we may retain the message, contact details, and related correspondence to respond, address corrections, prevent abuse, and maintain a record of editorial decisions. Do not send sensitive personal, financial, medical, or authentication information.

Data sharing and selling

We do not sell personal information in exchange for money. Service providers may process limited information on our behalf for hosting, security, measurement, communications, or advertising. Affiliate attribution and advertising may be treated differently under some state privacy laws; applicable notices and opt-out controls will be added when those services are activated and legally required.

Retention, security, and children

Information is retained only as reasonably necessary for the purposes described, legal obligations, dispute resolution, or security. No internet service can guarantee absolute security. This site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13.

Your choices

You may request access, correction, or deletion where applicable by contacting the site owner through the Contact page. We may need to verify the request and may retain information when legally permitted or required. This policy will be updated when permanent contact details, analytics, or advertising services are added.
